But as George continued io look and saw the figure of the smaller man grUdualh di late, while that of the larger, the more .potent and the better guarded, gave tin mistakable signs of secret wavering, he slowly changed hls mind and. ranging himself with the detective waited for the word or words which should explain this situation and render intelligible the triumph gradually becoming visible in ti e young detective's eyes But he was not destined to have J, is cu riosity satisfied so fat He migm wit ness and hear, but it was long before he understood. “Brotherson?” repeated their host, after the silence had lasted io the break ing point. "Why do you call me that?" "Because it is your name." “You called me Dunn a minute ago."

Her particular David had always been the most devoted husband, until lately, when he found his home occu pied by a mother-in-law. a sister-in law and various other relatives of his w’ife. Dora had weakly allowed this invasion of her home, and her kind' heart could not bear the idea of saying “no" to any of her kin. The conse quence was that her husband’s home no longer belonged to him, and being a very uncomfortable place, he avoided it as much as possible, and Dora looked out of the window and watched for him. until an older woman of her own kind came and pointed out her failings. "You'll have to choose." said the older Dora, "w’hether it is worth while sacrificing a perfectly good husband to the whim of your own family. You chose him, «and it is up to you to stick to him. You have virtually given his house away. His wife’s time no longer belongs to him. so, naturally, he doesn’t come back. If you prefer the others, ■go with them, but this is a house di vided. which can not stand, and you will be the loser." And little Dora gathered up her cour age and gave formal notice to her rela tives that the house was David's, and he would have to come first. They left in high dudgeon, but happiness and Da vid returned. Up-to-Date Jokes "Ah, Jack, old fellow! Haven’t seen you since your wedding, two years ago How goes matrimony?" "Very well, thanks. But.

Daysey Mayme and Her Folks THE CLINGING VINE/ SO many vital questions come up for discussion at the Making- Life More Beautiful Club that Daysey Mayme Appleton, its president, is.urg ing that the most vital be sent to The Hague for solution. The story books say a man is "mas terful.” but in real life the women hand it to him without sugar by saying he is “bossy.” And they handle him in this careless, ungloved way in their de eisions at the sessions of the Making Life More Beautiful Club. A recent decision covered the state ment that It is better to go hungry than to eat when cross. "If our husbands,” the club members decided, "adopted that plan, they would starve to death.” At a recent meeting, one woman said she had been criticised unfavorably be cause she so often went out of town. "I go.” she said, "because the only time my husband ever kisses me is when I take a train.” Met with sighs from the wives who still cherish Ideals, and by snorts from those who don’t. But the real excitement was caused over an attempt to define the duties of a wife whose husband’s ideal woman is "The Clinging Vine." I began with the testimony of a mili tant wife, whose hair fairly stood out on her head in resentment and anger. "1 arise," she said, the willow plumes on her hat standing up like the quills of an angered porcupine, “at six in the morning.” ”T get breakfast for a family of five: Advice to the Lovelorn By BEATRICE FAIRFAX. THE OPPORTUNITY WILL COME. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am anxious to make the »e --quaintance of a girl about a year my junior. I have learned that she does not speak to anybody without a proper introduction, and I have no one to introduce me to her. YOURS IN ANXIETY. The girl is right, and I am sure you would respect her less if she spoke to you without being introduced. Be patient and wait, lam sure if the girl is intended for you the opportunity will come for knowing her. Os that be sure. KEEPING EVERLASTINGLY AT IT. Dear Miss Fairfax: Some time ago I made the ac quaintance of a charming young lady. One evening I passed a re mark referring tq her in a joking manner, which she took as an in sult. Having found out that I hurt her feelings, I wrote her a letter of apology, which she accepted. Now, when 1 meet her, she seems very distant toward me. I would like to know how I can gain her af fection back, as I now find that I have fallen very deeply in love with her. J. k. Tell her you love her. Tell her fer vently and often. You are contrite for having offended. Prove your contrition is sincere. Pay her every attention; be kind, be cour teous.! be agreeable. Be all that a lover should be, and refuse to be discour aged. A girl who is worth winning is not always won easily. WOULD IT BE FOR THE BEST? Dear Miss Fairfax: I am eighteen years of age. and have been keeping company w r ith a girl of the same age for the past six months, during which time we quarreled twice. Each time she came back and asked me to renew friendship, but we had a slight dis agreement about a month ago. and she gave back the ring I gave her. is there any way in which I could win back her love, for I love her very much, and I think she loves me, for she has told me so? JOHN M. Do you wish to make up that you may quarrel once more? It looks like it, and that would be a foolish waste of emotion and time. You say she “came back" each time: if you really must make up it is your turn to go to her and beg pardon. I am sorry she has eaten so often of humble pie without demand ing that you eat your portion. WHEN YOUR HAIR BRUSHES OUT Your hair is as sensitive as your skin— even more so. It stands up under heavy hats, curling irons, and diseases of the scalp, etc. But there is a limit. When you comb and brush your hair in the morning, watch for the “TRAILERS” that turn grey, fall out, and comb out with lie first morning brush. A on MUST know that there’s something prong. If your hair was in good health, it wouldn t fall out, nature never intended that. 1 here is something wrong at the root of things the hair needs a tonie-a restorer, hen you are sick you take medicine.
