Dicky Blared at mo for a moment ns If

"Another ono of your scruples, eh? IJy

"Plensn liuslt, Dicky," I pleaded. I was
nfrnld tho Momnn In lltn next room wouM
hear him, ho spoke In such loud tones.
"I'll hush when I Bet ffood nnd ready "
I IruiKcd lo slmko him. h.s tone nml words
wero so much llko those of a spoiled child
Ilui he Ipwcrcd his tone nevertheless nnd
slood for a iiilnute or two in sulky silence
lieforo the empty llreplaco
"Well, coino nlnnu," he snld at Inst, "J'm

I had a sudden flaith of understanding.
Dleky meant all tho tlmo to recomponso tho

rcmnlncil tho same. Why could he not havo
told her frankly that ho wished to look at
tho houso nnd given her tho dollar In tho
beginning?
did not nsk tho question, however, oven
after wo hail left tho old mansion and wero
walking down tho road. I felt llko adopting
tho old motto, and leaving well enough
clone.
"I hope wo don't hnvo to go clear to tho
irnrbor before wo cat." grumbled Dicky ns
wo trudged along I echoed his wish silent
ly hut heartily. Tho sun was Juft as bright,
tho winter lumlscnpo Just as beautiful as It
had been an hour or two hoforo, but "our

Wo could think of nothing hut tho savory

Dicky stopped, and putting up an Imag
inary monocle, surveyed mo from head to

"Sometimes you havo a gleam of almost
human Intelligence." ho commented gravely.
"Thnnk you ery khidly," I roturoed In
the same spirit of ralllfry, glad to Imva Ms

evidently had been tho old-fashioned "par

I had seen tha same thing In quilts which
my mother had pieced when she was a
jrjung girl. I had heard hor lament that
nowhere could she I) nil such callcoas any

old creature, lived near the boarding house
where my mother had spent her last days
with me, I knew that she delighted In the
old-fashioned patchwork, and that she, too,
mourned the absence of the old-time, ma

He smiled as he mid II, nnd I had a sud

"Don't epenk that way Dicky, nlswt hit

"Don't spenk that way, Madge," Dicky
mimicked me so perfectly It was almost
sure I hail repented my own wards. "It
sounds no preachy "
I did I not speak again until vfo had I
turned frtim tho street down which wo were
walking Into a winding thoroughfare labeled
"Hhoro road." Then a thought which had
come to mo miring our walk demanded ut

"What a ninny I una not to remember It.

SERIAL-SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOME
LOOK TO BRUSHES AND COMBS
IF YOU'D HAVE LOVELY HAIR
By LUCREZIA BOIU
Prima Donna of tha Metropolitan Opera, Company.
mriB woman who has been following theso
JL common sense discussions of beauty
knows by this lime tho massage and tonlo
treatment that stimulates a luxurious
growth of hair Sha Is also familiar with
inc novice aituut iru
quqntly brushing tho
hair, particularly tho
"hundred strokes" to
he given before retir
ing, but then Is still
another feature of hair"
treatment of which sho
mny not bo so well In
formed, namely, tho
right brush and comb
to choose, nnd their
proper care.
You should bo most
cnreful In the selection
of your hair brush. If
l.t UKXV nolll your tressen aro long
ard thick or curly, buy a brush with long,
ytlff bristles of uneven lengths. Thoro Is
no economy In choosing n cheap brush
the best Is not too good for tho hair. Pay
for tho quality of the bristles and not for
tho tortoise shell, Ivory or silver mounting:
It Is also a good plan to havo two
brushes, tho long, stllt-brlstlcd ono nnd nn
other with short, medium-soft bristles to
bo used to polish tha bnlr after the comb
nnd tho Inrgo-brlstled brush havo removed
tho tangles. When using tho burnishing
brush put, a drop of brllllantlne In the palm
of tho hand nnd pnss tho brlstlci of tho
brush lightly over It. Tho brllllantlne will
Impart n lovely sheen to tho tresses.
The right comb to chooso deponds en
tirely upon the growth of your h.ilr. If It
Is curly or unusually heavy seo that your
comb has long teeth, net rather far apart,
with blunt or rounded cuds. Close-set
teeth nro destructive to tho hnlr. If your
hair la rather short nntl not very luxurious,
buy n comb hnlf of which Is set with coarso
teeth nnd half with finer tooth.
After you hnvo provided yourself with
tho right brush and comb tako proper caro
of them. Hack tlmo you usa tho brush
pnrs tho teeth of tho comb between Its
hrlnttos, lengthwise nnd crosswise, and
slinke and bent tho loose dust from It. Then
wlpo tho hl8tlcs with a soft cloth. Onco
n week or ofteitcr. If the bristles become
(Illicitly soiled, wash tho brush thoroughly,
l-or this process provide two shallow basins,
ono nearly Illicit with warm, nbt hot, water,
to which has been added n generous lump
of washing nodn, and tho othor with plain
warm water to bo used for a rlrtso. Pass
thn bristles of tho brush hnck nnd forth
through tho soda bath, being careful not
to wet tho hack. If tho bristles require
soap to clcanso them thoroughly use a puro
white, roup, Then refill tho basin with a
second w-nshlng soda bath, and finally rinse
tbo-brlstlcu In tho warm wntcr and then Ip
cold
Tho brush should bo dried as quickly
ns poHsIulo so that tho bristles loso nono
of their Btirtncss. Stand tho brush on Its
sldo upon tha window nlll so that tho bright
sunlight will fall directly upon tho bristles.
Novcr. If you can avoid It, use artificial
heat to dry your brush and never turn It
on Its back to dry, ns thla will hold tho
moisture In tho bristles, which will, in tlmo,
loosen them from the back.
If your scalp Is diseased with dandruff
you should cleanse your brush nnd comh
utter every using. Ignore this prccnutlan

nnd your scalp will ho reinfected each time
you comh your hair.
Tour hair brush and comb should be
sterilised at least onca a month, excepting
In cases where the hair Is not healthy, then
they should be Immersed. In nn antiseptic
bath at least once a week. When sterlllx
Ing brushes, first wash the brush and comb,
then place them In a shallow pah contain
ing enough, four per cent solution of boraalo
acid, to wet the bristles, but not to cover
tho back. Allow them to remain In this
hath for fifteen or twenty minutes. lie
move nnd dry In the sun.
Tho comh requires dally attention. Every
partlcla of clinging dust should be removed
after tho hair has been combed. This la
a simple matter It you will buy rt comb
cleaner. This consists of n set of strings
bound nt olther end with metal rings, like
a razor strop Ilun tho teeth of the comb
through tho strings until they nra qutto
clean Whenever you stcrlllto your brush
sterilize yoUr comb and comb-clenner.
If you doslro lo Improve the condition of
your hair nnd Benin, mako use of those sani
tary hints In caring for your comb and
brush.
