An Unfailing Way
To Banish Hairs
(Beauty Notes)
Vgly hairy growths can be re
moved in the privacy of your own
home if you get a small original
package of delatone and mix into a
paste enough of the powder and wa
ter to cover the hairy surface. This
should be left on the skin about 3
minutes, then removed and the skin
washed and every trace of hair Will
have vanished. No harm or incon
venience can result from this treat

the short distance in as brief a pe
riod as might have been supposed.
Milton ami Dora started off arm
In arm, he running briskly down the
front steps with her, and Cynthia
and Gerald Stuart following more
sedately. But when they reached
the corner, the couple in front caine
to a sudden halt.
"1 say," Dora announced, "I am
sure Milton's tired of being with me
so much, lie brought me home from
the Delafield's this afternoon, and sat
by me all during dinner. Suppose
we trade partners for a while. ' Cyn,
do take pity on poor Milton!"
Cynthia hesitated, but before she
could speak, Dora continued:
"Now don't be proper and conven
tional, Cyn! That's too much like
mother. She considers it reprehensi
ble for nn engaged girl to walk with
any man except her unfortunate
iiance. So I left the house, holding
fast to Milton. But lie really de
serves a little vacation from me."
Milton stepped at once to Cyntha's
side. "Dora's casting me from her,"
he proclaimed merrily. "Take me
under your wing, Cynthia."

Gerald Stuart said nothing, but the
promptness with which he acceded to
the proposed change showed that he
was not averse to it.
"You don't mind, do you?" Dora
challenged, looking up daringly into
her new escort's face.
Stuart's tone was so grave as to
be in marked contrast to hers.
"You must know that I am thank
ful for an opportunity of being with
you, Dora," lie said.
"Would you rather be with me
than with Cynthia?" she demanded,
t< asingly.
"I would," he answered soberly.
"Well!" The exclamation was
fraught with surprise, and there was
a ring of relief in the tone. "I am
astonished."
"Why?" Stuart asked. "Are you
astonished that I should find pleasure
in the chance of a tete-a-tete with
my best friend's betrothed?"
Something in the question checked
tile smile on Dora's lips. "No." she
said slowly; "it is not that. I take
it for granted that, as you are Mil
ton's friend, you are mine, too. But
that does not mean that you would
lather be witli me than with an
other girl."
Dora Think* I'nsf
"In this case it does,'' he ai'fiimed.
'"I suppose," she began, then hesi
tated.
"What?" Stuart insisted. "What
did you suppose?"
"Why, I supposed that you were
rather fascinated by Cynthia. 1
should think you would le. Sho- Is
lovely."
"Yes, she is very lovely,' the man
admitted. "But that does not mean
that I would not rather talk with
you."
Dora said no more. She was
thinking fast. She suspected that her
parents wished to bring -,'oout a
match between their niece and Ger
ald Stuart. The idea was not a
pleasing one to her. She now won

M another gir! in the world who
would have thought of such kind
ness."
"Yes, there is,'* she contradicted.
"Jots of others would. And you
must remember that I am doing my
self a favor. 1 am lonely, Milton,
and sad, and I fel as if 1 must get
away frojn myseil. Just now there
seems to be no way of doing It ex
cept' by helping others in some
fashion."
"You are sad because of your be
reavement," Milton observed, m>:s
ii-gly. "But—forgive me if 1 ask an
impertinent question—is that all?
Has any new tiling come up to trou
ble you? If you wouid rather not
tell me, just say so. I don't want to
butt in—but I fancied you looked

ing."

query. "I must lea.-n rot to let my
self seem depressed. There are so
many bright and plisant things in

that there is little excuse for any
one's going about with a long face."
"You have not answered my ques
tion,'' Milton accused. "2 Jut I am
not going to press you to do so. One
thing, however, 1 do know —and that
is that you must at t&m-s be home
sick."
"I have no home to lie nomesick
for," she reminded him.
"No—but you must miss your
father dreadfully—off here, away
from all the people who knew him
and to whom you could talk about

"Don't!" she checked him implor
ingly, her voice breaking. "Don't
speak about It, please! t cannot

They had reached the Van Saun's
house, and aa they mounted the
steps Milton took in his grasp for
an instant the hands that the girl
had laid on his arm.
"I understand," he said softly.
"If you ever do want to talk about
your troubles, remember that I shall
be honored if you confide them to
me. But if you do not want to talk
about them, remember also that X
wish you to do only that which is
least painful to you. Please try to

Look at tongue! If feverish,

"California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach, liver,

Don't scold your fretful, peevish

is a sure sign its little stomach,
liver and bowels are clogged wilh
sour waste.
When listless, pale, feverishi full
of cold, breath bad, throat sore,

rhoea, give a teanspoonful of "Cali
fornia Syrup of Figs," and in a few
hours all the foul waste, the sour
bile and fermenting food passes out
of the bowels and you have a well
and playful child again. Children
love this harmless "fruit laxative,"
and mothers can rest easy after giv
ing it, because it never falls to make
their little "insides" clean anil
sweet.
Keep It handy, Mother! A little
given to-day saves a sick child to
morrow, but get the genuine. Ask
your druggist for a 50-cent bottlp
"of "California Syrup of Figs," which
has directions for babies, children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly
on the bottle. Remember there ar
