The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grand- mother's recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are living in an age when a youth- ful appearance is of the greatest ad- vantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use product, improved by the addition of other ingredients called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." It is very popular because nobody can dis- cover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair dis- appears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few ap- plications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is so attractive.

"Why, yes," he answered hesitat- | ingly. "I 4d. But I didn't think about the aftermath, Betty." { "The aftermath?" she repeated | wonderingly. He indicated the letters and tele- | beside them. "I knew that you would wia the prize for beauty, but I did not | think about the offers you would | have to go into the "movies" and to ; 80 Into vaudeville work and to be a | model for magazine-cover artists." l Betty's lips. parting in one of her | rare smiles, displayed her exeeption- ally even white teeth. "I'd never have had all of those offers, Bob, if it hadn't been for you. I really thought that you sent the picture in more for a joke than anything else." "I wish to heaven I'd never seat it in!" Bob ground out between half- closed teeth, And that was the start of it. For 4 whole week Betty refused to see him and gave no reason. The next week when he telephoned her each evening she was busy or she had an engagement, or herfather wanted her to go driving with him, or she was helping Bud with his algebra. Never & word was said about the mowing- picture contracts or the offers te 8° into vaudeville work. Doggedly drawing plans in the of- fice each day, Bob tried to forget that he had ever dreamed about a Mt- tle, home with Betty as a wife and mother. Such dreams had been dreamed by him, although he had never spoken definitely to Betty about them. He had waited until he thought his salary would be sufficient for them to marry and have a little houge, and car perhaps, td make them happy. He had waited, he fig- ured now, too long. Forty times a day, as he sketched plans for bridges or coaling stations, he reflected about the wretched day he had seen the an- nouncement of the prize for the most beautiful girl in the surrounding states. He had always thought Betty pretty, but that she was the most beautiful girl in that territory he had not dreamed. It had been on the spur of the moment, as they look- ed over the paper together, that he had sald: "I'm golng to send in your picture, Betts. Wouldn't it be nice to be called the prettiest girl in seventeen states? That's the most territory that has ever been covered by a local beauty contest, I pags." Betty had merrfly laughed, but be neath the laugh he kne wthat she would like to see her pieture in the paper, at least, and perhaps be awarded the second or third prise. The first itself carried 'with it a cash award of $10,000, besides the honor of winning. This morning, as Bob worked on the new coaling station that was to be erected on the edge of the desert in the West the office manager pass- ed his desk. "The firm's talking about opening & western office," he let fall. "I wish they'd send me out there. There are big opportunities right now in the West, I can tell you. Think of the new bridges and coaling stations that will have to be erected! Man, a for tune could be cleaned up in tem years out there, besides living in God's country instead of " '« atifiing eity." Tonk after The maiager Palised on Bob stared at the paper before him, seeing not the drawing he had made but a western office with himself as Assistant to the manager. In an of- fice like that the opportunities would not be the only thing to be consid- ered: the salary would be excellemt and on a salary lke that----why, a man could marry! Betty had said that she was going to shop downtown and whenever she was downtown at noon she lunched at a certain place where Bob met her. about the possibility of going west, He knew that the manager had not dropped the information casually, but that it had ben said to prepare him for later news. "It would be a good salary, Betty," Bob finally said rather dif- fidently. "If'I go out there as assist- ant and make good--would you-- marry me?" He felt as he spoke that it was futile to ask, for what girl would give up a "movie" career to Marry a mechanical engineer and settle down to be a little housewife! con This noon he went there and told her |. would cost $6,000 to ¥5,000, ana H | haven't-- | With one smail hand upheld she | stopped him.

But Prehistoric Woman Seems to Have Had Few Other Charms in Her Person. Bones of a prehistoric woman be- lieved to have beem a tree-climber, have beer found in the bed of the River Cam, England, and are being submitted to export opinion in Lon- don. The hones were brought to the sur- face by a dredger within A quarter of a mile of the famous Fenland inn, "The Five Miles From Anywhere; No Hurry!" The whole district is one vast for- est of buried oaks, which were in existence many thousands of years ago, before the Fens were formed, and it is hoped to recover the com- plete skeleton. "The find 1s a most interesting one." said a fellow of the Royal So- clety to a representative of the Lon- don Daily Express. "The leg bones are andoubtedly those of a woman, but they are of extraordinary conformation. Who- ever she was, she had a pretty foot. "If alive to-day, she would be a short, deep-chested creature, covered with hair, and with long, apelike arms and prehensile toes. "Her home would be a rudely built platform of sticks, with a family like- ness to a glorified crow's nest. From this, excursions would be made among the tree tops, she and her mate swinging themselves," monkey- fashion, from bough to bough. "When on the ground her would be that of a monkey, with the arms swingfng to the knees." Training Auto Drivers. If you travel along the Thames ame bankment between the Houses of Parliament and Lotsroad power sta- tion any morning of the week and are observant, you will see a number of strange motorcars and drivers. The cars are old and the drivers are new. The embankment is London's great 'training ground for new motorists. Here every day the motor- ing schools bring out their clients in cars fitted with dual control and spe- clally bufit to defy a variety of ill treatment. You can amuse yourself by watching the various emotions of these embryo motorists. No motion picture star could improve on the variety of facial expressions display- ed. You oan see hope, fear, appre- hension, dawning ambition for speed, and finally joy as the beginner pro- gresses from low to high gear.--Con- tinental Edition, London Mail. Curious Custom. It was once the curious custom ia England to carry wax effigies of the dead--It they were distinguished enough--in their funeral processions. It was also customary to leave the efigies near the grave for some time thereafter, and the mourning friends of the deceased used to compose ele- gles, rhymed laments and similar productions, which they would write out en paper and pin to the clothing of the effigy. A number of the quaint old effigies are still preserved at Westminster Abbey, where they are stored in the Islip chapel, and one at least, that of Frances, Duchess of Richmond, is still to be seen beside her grave in Heary VIL's chapel. $80 Chain Made of Ooins. At an informal meeting of the Buckingham, (Eng.) town council recently, Councillor Corbett Roper, who is a prominent breeder of pedi- gree Shorthorn cattle, for the second successive year refused to be elected to the position of mayer.

But she has never consign to the scaffold the occupants of the British throne or the members of that old aristocracy to which she belongs by birth and marriage. Neither has she advocated the substi- tution of a republic for the present monarchial form of government to which the British Empire is subject. If she has been likened to the Revo- lutionary Dule of Orleans, who -lost his head under the guillotine in 1795, it is because she disapproves of exist- Ing economic and social conditions in England, and has now come forward as the champion of that universal levy on capital which is the night mare of the multi-milllonaires and even of the moderately atfluent, of land-owners, merchants and those en- gaged In industrial enterprises. They dread it as the mi revolutionary measure ever submitted to the Parlia- ment of Great Britaigh The masses of the United Kingdom and the Soclalists, as well as even the modern Laborites, have come to regard the capital levy as the nos- trum of all their ills. They would transfer the burden. of taxation from the shoulders of the poor to where they think it really belong, that is, to the shoulders of the rich. They look upon this as a more suitable means of balancing the national budget than Premier Baldwin's pro- Jected policy of protection, which for a time will heighten the cost of living through the inevitable increase of the price of necessaries. The classes regard the capital levy as a mere pre- lude to the nationalization of all land, property, public utilities, and, finally, private enterprise, in keeping witn-tne doctrines of Soviet Russia, for which Lady Warwick seeks full official recognition by Great Britain. She is too clever a woman not to have realized long ago that the conditions of the masses in the United Kingdom are such as to demand strong reme- dies lest the populace rise against the wealthy and against the Government, which seems to the poor to exist only for the protection of the rich. Many of her own class have held sim- {lar opinions, but while they keep these convictions to themselves, she proclaims them from the cart<tail. Lady Warwick nas always spoken her mind regardless of convention and consequencces. Most of the malevolent stories concerning her have originated in Mayfair, where, al- though greatly admired during the two closing decades of the last cen- tury, she has never been popular. She has never made friends easily, has a horror of bores, affectation and sham, and possesses a mind of excep- tional activity and originality.
