"I was troubled with dandruff, falling hair and itching scalp for two or three years. It was so bad at times my coat-collar would be covered so I was ashamed to go in company. It Itched so my head was irritated and pimples would come on my scalp. My hair came out badly; it became thin and dry, so dry that it seemed as though there was no life in it. "Remedies failed to do me any good. About a year ago I saw the advertise ment of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent for a sample. After the first treatment I discovered I was getting better.

Copyright by McCluro Newspaper Syndicate IX a recent divorce case the judge, in questioning the husband about his treatment of his wife, asked whether he was in the habit of making her Christmas or birthday presents, of bringing her flowers, confectionery or other gifts occasionally. "No," the husband replied, "I am sorry to say I never did. I always paid her bills without question, and thought that was all I should do, but I see bow I was mistaken, that it did not take the place of my buying things and taking them home to her myself. It was a mistake." Many practical people think that sentiment is a sign of weakness; that such things belong only to silly peo ple. It is a sad day in any married woman's life when she can say: "Dear me, it is not half so much fun to be a wife as it was to be a sweetheart. I do not begin to get the presents, treats and little attentions I used to." It is a great pity when a husband gradually ceases to be attentive in little things; when he neglects to bring home flowers or little gifts to his wife, as he did before marriage. It is a great shock in a woman's life when she begins to realize that ro mance is dying out; that her husband is always too tired to go anywhere with her in the evening; too busy to take her for a little outing; that his mind is always, on his business; that he who was once so generous with her talks poverty, telling her that he cannot afford this or cannot afford that. It does not take a great deal to make the average young woman happy. It is not so much a question of the amount of money spent on her as the little attentions, the little cour tesies that indicate thoughtfulness and affection. It is the idea that she is in her husband's mind; that he has taken pains to express his affection, to make her happy, that pleases and satisfies her. A judge of large experience says that one of the chief grievances of women who come to him for relief through divorce is that their husbands neglect them and their homes, giving their minds so completely to their business affairs that even when at home they are only surly brutes with whom the angels themselves could not lead happy domestic lives. Men as a rule are so matter of fact. They do not realize what a little romance and sentiment mean to a wife. They seem to 1 think that if a woman has a good home, enough to eat and good clothes to wear she ought to be satisfied; but these things do not feed the1 most important ele ments in a wife. The feminine heart is the most difficult thing to nourish. It does not feed upon things, however beautiful. The heart may starve in the midst of luxury, and it may thrive in a hovel where there is not a car pet on the floor or a picture on the wall. ' There are multitudes of wives in this country today who do not really know the meaning of the word com panionship. Their husbands pay their bills, their physical wants are sup plied, but their affections are not fed, and their hearts are starving for com radeship. This is often the reason why so many wives seek elsewhere the sympathy which their husbands deny them. There must be romance in wedded life, constant expression of affection and appreciation not only on the hus band's part, but on the wife's as well, or the most affectionate nature will in time grow indifferent and seek other interests. AT a dinner in New York not long ago everybody at the table was obviously attracted to a wonder fully beautiful face belonging to a lady of about twenty-five. She seemed the personification of beauty and charm, grace and poise of character and mind, but the instant she spoke she exhibited such a coarse, repulsive voice, such grossness, and her manner and bad English were so completely out of keeping with her face that the remarkable impression she had made was dispelled. Her symmetrical and attractive face was her only recom mendation. Grossness and ignorance back of it disillusioned us all. The most beautiful face in the world will lose its attractiveness the mo ment we see In the person any sug gestion of coarseness or vulgarity,-any lack of refinement and culture. Every child ought to be taught that a pleasing personality and a charming manner are of inestimable value to everybody, and especially to a girl. We judge people by the earmarks and signs which they exhibit. Every body is taken on his manners. No matter what possessions you may have at home all that you have, so far as strangers are concerned, is what you show, what you exhibit in your manner, in your face, in your bearing, your personality. The best of our wealth we always carry with us. The triumph of char acter and a superb personality are of infinitely greater value than any materia, possessions, however great If the impression you make ia un favorable people who meet you will naturally jump to the conclusion that you would not make a very agree able acquaintance, friend or em ployee. Splendid ability and many superb traits often starve to death in a wom an because she does not overcome the handicap of an offensive manner or disagreeable personal habits. No matter how able, how honest, how in dustrious she may be, or what splen did qualities she may possess, if a girl does not have an agreeable, an attractive manner, a pleasing person ality, she will not attract her friends, and people will avoid her. Employers prefer girls with less ability but. with pleasing manners. It is human nature to love sunshine and harmony and we gravitate to wards agreeable, sunny, kindly people. Many girls seem to think that fine clothes are a good substitute for a pleasing manner, but the sunny, agreeable, pleasing girl often gets a good position when the girl who dresses much better, but who has a repellent manner, loses it. I have in mind a young girl of splendid ability and exceptionally attractive personality who applied for an important position in a very large concern. There was no vacancy or likely to be any in the position de sired, but she made such a profound impression upon the proprietors that they created a new position for her, and paid her a large salary. One of the proprietors afterwards said that he could not afford to let the girl get away from them, for they con sidered the human element, the per sonal element, tiieir greatest business asset. The firm in question prides itself on the superior personality of all its employees. It admits that a large per centage of the salaries of many of the workers is paid not purely for ability, but for the desirability and attractive ness of the employee's personality, j They; value this because an attrac- j tive personality has "the power to j make friends and to draw . patrons for the house, and, notwithstanding the fact that they owe their success largely to the exceptional quality of their products and the excellence of service, they say that their large busi ness is due even more to the personal ity of their employees. The greatest factor In your career is the personal one. Your personality will count more than anything else. Your chief assets are locked up in It. Cute Rather. The smuggling of precious stones into New York is perhaps one of the liveliest of "live" industries in spite of j ail the efforts of the authorities to j stop it. Some of the tricks employed j seem to touch the limit of human in- j genuity. Perhaps the cleverest trick in this line cleverest because the simplest stands to- the credit of a ; Chicago man. j He would buy $100,000" worth of dia- 1 monds in London or Amsterdam, and hide them behind a panel of the wall of his cabin. On the ship's arrival at New York he would walk calmly ashore, leaving the stones behind him in their hiding-place, but going straight to the booking office and en-; gaging the same cabin for the return voyage. When the time came for the vessel to sail he went on board accompanied by his wife. The lady, of course, must go to inspect her hus band's cabin, and when at length the bell rang and the lady walked ashore with the rest of the visitors, her pock ets were heavier by the weight of $100,000 worth of diamonds. London Tit-Bits. Laughter in Supreme Court. The Supreme court of the United States is absolutely and indisputably supreme when it comes to solemnity, dreariness and gloom. People do not laugh once a year in that funereal looking chamber. All you have to do is to set foot inside of it in order to understand that the dispensing of jus tice is a heavy, ponderous and seri ous affair. Not long ago, however, Mr. Justice Lurton made the lawyers, the auditors and the other iustiops laugh right out lC1 la' u1 th at nes hej as'i thi "sv nat kinU 0L"iTs 9" 'Well, er the 1 truth is, mered, "I am selling he stam (deleted) cars, but I'd rather you wouldn't say anything about it. I don't want my mother to know; she thinks I'm a bar tender." Milk Looked Strange. A family living in South Chicago found a good deal of cream on a bottle of milk which had been standing over night and when the driver called in the morning the pleased servant held it up to the light and said: "Look here, I have never seen any thing like this before on your milk." The man looked at it for a moment, scratched his head and replied: "Well, I don't know what's the mat ter, but you can throw It out and I'll give you a fresh bottle in its place." Boudoir Cap , 1 """" FUt7 - - ? - - kmifr - 1 V;, i-r r --.SIJJ A PRETTY new model in a boudoir or breakfast cap is shown in the picture given . here. It has no frills about the face, which marks it as unusual and a welcome variety to the woman to whom frills are unbe coming. In keeping with the present modes there is a ruffle at the back across the nape of the neck. The cap is attrac tively put together with triangles of satin, bordered with narrow lingerie lace at each side, and pretty bows of satin ribbon ornamented "with tiny chiffon roses to match the satin in color. The cap pictured here is made of a shadow lace flouncing eighteen inches wide. Only a half yard of the lace is required to make it in the small size shown. A lace twenty-two to twenty-four inches wide is needed for larger heads. The length of lace re quired is the same as the width, so that the cap is made of a square of lace. The frill is made at the bordered edge of the lace by stitching or. a piece of bias silk tape three inches from the edge.

Women, licially, demand so much in the Iter of style in their shoes that se who lead in manufacturing have fed before them this season what "mifant be called confections in foot wear. The shoes of today are distinguished by little odd touches of style in meth ods of cutting the leather, and in com b nations of leather with cloth and tte adoption of two colors in the com- j position of the shoe. Three pairs of high boots are shown here which illustrate these individual tn.iioc Qnri set fnrth the kind of shoes that are correct for present wear. As Fashion has decreed very short fckirts for the street, women are likely to grow more and more partic ular as to the appearance of their feet.

The remaining edges are gathered into a strip of bias tape 15 inches long. The two triangles are each seven and a half inches long, at the base and four inches high. A narrow edging of val lace is stitched along the sides of each as a finish. Rose-colored satin was used in this cap to make them. The bases of the triangles are sewed to the edges of the cap at each side and turned back. ' The points are tacked down to hold them in place. At the front a bow of satin ribbon, with a little chiffon rose In place of a knot at the center, is sewed between the points of the triangles. At each side the termination of the neck ruffle is decorated with a small flat rosette of satin ribbon a half inch in width.

Fawn-colored quar ters are the most popular in style for dressy street wear. The Spanish heel of leather harmonizes with the re mainder of the boot in character. The boots with fawn or gray tops are worn with all the fashionable colors, in street gowns. A smart boot with cloth top cut to look like a gai'.er Is made in fawn color with black. It is fastened with small pearl buttons and provided with leather Spanish heel. Exquisite finish in stitching is a part of all the new shoes. A model called the French boot re sembles the Ritz, but is higher and laces up the front. It has a short vamp of patent leather and leather Louis heel. The lacing edges are faced back with a strip of the patent leather, making a showy and elegant design. A good, sensible boot, made for durability, is shown with slight exten sion sole and Cuban heel. It is smart in cut and plain In finish, with f,tay at the back extending to within an inch of the top. Vici kid, calf, &nd other leathers make this alMeather model a reliable investment. For all kinds of weather and all kinds of roads it is the best choice. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

As all the world knows, Interna tional war has proved a great concil iator in Ireland. As a contributor to the Bystander says, you cannot give much attention to the dismemberment of the empire when you are not cer tain whether you will have an em pire to dismember. There is a geniality about the Na tionalist volunteer that makes you know that he would rather fight some one else-t-Germany in this case than Ulster. A few stories are current that help to show how very ripe Ire land was for conciliation. Not long ago a company of Nationalist volun teers, passing a company of Ulster men, and being uncertain as to the customary etiquette between deadly enemies saluted. In a northern dis trict there was only one field suitable for drilling, and as the two opposition armies wanted it, the owner began bidding them against each other. Northern canniness asserted Itself. The commanding officer of one battal ion approached the enemy, and they agreed to rent the field in common, and use it on alternate days! A third anecdote relates that while some Ulster volunteers were drilling a Nationalist was seen sitting on a fence watching them. When he was questioned by an Ulsterman he ex plained that his own company had mislaid their rifles and could not drill; "but," he acied, "we were wait ing to see if we could get the loan of yours when you've done with them." An Emotionalist. "So you're hanging around broke again?" said the policeman. "Yes," answered Bill the Burglar. "I haven't a cent.
