SAGE AND SULPHUR ~ DARKENS GRAY HAIR It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore Color, Gloss and Attractive- ness. Almost everyone knows that Bage Tea and Sulphur, properly com. pounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which ia mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by ask- ing at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get a large bottle of this fam- ous old recipe, improved by the addi- tion of other ingredients, for about 50 cents. Don't stay gray! Try it! No one can possibly teil that you darkemed your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy and attraztive, Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound is a delightful toilet requisite for those who desire dark hair and a youthful appearance. It is not. in- tended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease. éary & Practical { THE CONFESSIONS OF ROXANE WE KNOW NOTHING. (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate). Our conversation at dinner decidedly three-cornered. probably was the liveliest one of the four and it seemed that her chatter would never cease. Harry also was unusually talkative, but there was the same recklessness in his h at the table that there had bed in the motor car on the way to the restaurant. My personal inclination was to keep as quiet ag possible, I did not feel like talking. I was not sleepy or tired or bored, nor did I have what Harry would describe as a grouch, but nevertheless 1 would have preferred to sit back and listen without exerting myself either to Join in the conversation or to so much as smile at the wittieisms which were tossed back and forth across the table, But I did not al- low my mood to influence me to sil- ence. I deliberately set about mak- ing myself as amiable as possible, I knew that I could not be as viva- cious as Evelyn, for she seemed to be keyed up to the very highest piteh of nervous tension, but I could at least avoid having myself compared to a mourner at a funeral, and 1 pro- ceeded to do it, Arthur was the only one in the quartet who failed to hold up an end of the conversation. At first he was merely good naturedly silent, but as the dinner progressed quiet séttled down upon him Hke a pall. Harry railed 'him about it once or twice and Evelyn talked at him with all the wonderfui energy of whieh she was capable, but she was unable to cheer him up. "The Allies are not killing enpugh people in Europe," Harry ventured, when it became evident that Arthur had retired within himself for the evening. "Arthur is never satisfied unless preparations are being made for murder on a colossal scale." Evelyn laughed a short nervous laugh and turned to my husband. "Is that 30?" she asked. "Are you 80 heartless? Don't you ever smile unless arrangements are being made to slay and slay and slay?" "Of course he does mot," put in Harry. "That is his business. The A. B. C. Munitions Company would be bankrupt tomorrow if the war stopped today, and Arthur knows it. He is afraid the war will end." "Brilliant!" exclaimed Arthur, glancing up ever so briefly and then reapplying himself to his dinner. "Fortunately for Arthur," Harry was Evelyn | (By Frances Walter) WE DISCUSS PEOPLE OF WHOM | went on 'Unabashed, "the war's end is not in sight, so Arthur will have another chance to smile, even if he insists on frowging tonight." "He is not ning," 'objected Evelyn. "He ls merely dignified. I have seen many other men like him." Arthur shrugged his shoulders im- patiently and glared up as though an outburst was imminent, but ' he controlled himself and remained sil- ent. "There are very few like mused Harry, "Don't you with me, Roxane?" "Look at the dancers and listen to the music," I commanded, knowing that the conversation was becoming too dangerous. "The girl in green is a real beauty, isn't she?" "They are all beauties," mumbled Harry. "You see them standing there, in all their glory and you think they are fit to be immontalized in marble, but where in the sculptor who would attempt it? Even sculp- tors have more than one sense." Evelyn raised her eyebrows inquir- ingly. "I mean that when they open their mouths the charm is broken," Harry declared. "You can tell precisely what block they live in and what they eat for supper. Yet to look at them you could easily be persuaded that they were goddesses who had déscended from somewhere above to show us how perfect human beauty can be." "Are they so bad as you suggest?" I inquired with the skepticism of ig- norance, "It is hard to think that they are not gentle and lovely as they look." "Far be it from me to make false accusations against any one," ex- claimed Harry. "I 'have accused them because I know the kind. If You are curious I will prove every- thing that I have said." "How?" asked Evelyn. "I know a little restaurant where many cabaret singers and dancers BO after they have finished their work, If you and Roxane care to go there tonight we. can see them in all their glory. What say you?" "Let us go by all means," urged Evelyn. "Roxane, do you wish to go?" BF "Yes," I agreed. "Then we will go," Harry, firmly. *"'Arthur, outvoted." "I did not vote," declared Arthur. "I know it," replied Harry, "but I can tell from the expression on your face that you do not wish to go. But, as I said, you are outvoted, and him," agree declared you are we are going."
