This did not trouble the detective. He stood a morfient. taking in the prospect; decided that the Works and the Works alone made the town, and started for the house which had been pointed out to him. His way lay through the chief business street, and, greatly preoccupied by his errand,, he gave but a passing glance to the rows on rows of workmen's dwellings stretch; ing away to the left in seemingly end less perspective. Yet in that glance he certainly took in the fact that the side walks were blocked with people, and he wondered if it were a holiday. If so. it must be an enforced one. for the faces showed little joy. Possibly a strike was on. The anxiety he everywhere saw pic tured on young faces and old, argued some trouble; but if the trouble was that, why were all heads turned indiffer ently from the Works, and why were the Works themselves in full blast? These questions he may have asked himself and he may not. His attention was entirely centered on the house he saw before him and on the possible de velopments awaiting him there. Noth ing else mattered. Briskly he stepped out along the sandy road, and after A turn or two, which led him quite away from the Works and its surrounding buildings, he came out upon the high way and this house. It was a low and unpretentious one, and had but one distinguishing feature. The porch which hung well over the door step was unique in shape and gave an air of picturesqueness to an otherwise simple exterior; a picturesqueness which was much enhanced in its effect by the background of illimitable forest, which united the foreground of this pleasing picture with the great chain of hills which held the Works and town in its ample basin To Be Continued in Next Issue Beauty Secrets of Footlight Favorites Don't Try to Follow Fashions of the Moment SuCi I —r ~ : <,,41 SEE ■ ’ : g W. >— h * ■ j ' s' SSae ■ -a. . ■ /\ I I 07 / ' / - J / ' -rv / .. ■■ V / jBlMiSb.- ”i • flTty * MISS FLORENCE REEVE, IN TWO POSES.

The whole secret of it is brush ing—real brushing, I mean, so that ev- 1 ery hair seems to be brushed sepa rately. It is almost impossible to do this yourself. If you prefer to have it done at home, your maid or some one who knows how to brush the hair thor oughly should do it. A tonic should also certainly be used, but it is the brushing that is so beneficial and brings life and luster into the hai 1 can never understand why women dread the approach of gray hair. 1 think a young woman whose hair i« gray looks charming, and I'm sure the average man will agree with me. Most women think it suggests age, but. on the contrary, it gives a more youthful expression to the face, and lends a cer tain charm which is indefinable. 1 counted ten gray hairs on my head | this morning. I Don’t Use Dye. I must admit I prefer them to be ; on the temples instead of down the center parting; nevertheless, there they are and there they'll have to remain, because nothing on earth would in duce me to dye them. That is a mis take so many women make. They ad mire a certain fashionable shade for hair and promptly dye their own that particular shade, forgetting all about their complexions, which do not blend with the new color of their hair and make them sallow in consequence My advice, therefore, is if you were born a brunette.
