7 HOW TO MAKE YOUR By BEATRICE FAIRFAX THE DESIRE TO KNOW Better Be an Antimated Question Mark Than Too Indifferent to "Sit Vp and Take Notice!" Most of the mistakes and near failures in business come from a lack of knowledge of cvery-day truths! . Sometimes we call the chap who is a perpetual question mark an "infernal bore." That Is all wrong. "Why" is a mark of constructive curiosity—the desire to know. When you catch yourself asking ••Why," you have a right to look with approval on yourself, to pat yourself on the back. It is not your "ignorance" you betray; it is \ our intelligent thirst for knowl edge that you show. Down in your world of business you are surrounded by all sorts of jot:- other than your own. Do you know anything about them? Do aon ever wonder about them Tire Yardsley cook left unex pestedly one Saturday night and Mr. Yardsley was very scornful of his wife because she could not get tl-.e Sunday dinner, find made his v.il'e the laughing-stock of all their friends by his "killingly funny tlescription of their lonely meal in a hotel on Sunday and his supping on delicatessen fare for a after. The man in the foretpn trade department of Yardsley's firm left .suddenly a few weeks later, Yards ley was the New York man —his sal-, arv was $3,000 a year against the other man s $4,500. He was offered the job because he happened to be avalla'clc. He had to decline be cause he knew absolutely nothing about work that had ben managed from a desk next his oWTI for three years! Do you see a certain paral lel in the case of the Yardsleys? Have you any idea why a certain tiling system is in use in your of fices? Do you know how the mail orders are taken care of? Not in vour department? Well, neither was cooking in Mrs. Yardsley's. But things have a way of happening suddenlv in this world! Knowledge of branches foreign to vour own is not part of your job. It may even seem none of your busi ness. But knowledge such as this might bring you success. A few "whys" and you could acquire in struction in the circles that lie about your little center of work. Your own particular job be comes much more interesting when \ou know something about the other jobs that touch on it.

To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid a won; apply it at night when retir ing; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the linger tips. Do this to-night, and by morning, most it' not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more ap plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times bet ter. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. —Adv. I I I I The First Locomotive i i I WHEN the first locomotive steamed out of rine.

Now this man as a child had infantile paralysis and limps a little. He is making a good salary and has saved considerable money. What I want to know is this: Do you think that this lame ness should stop our marriage? D. E. V. Why should this man's misfortune interfere with his right to happi ness? Is the question you wanted to ask and were restrained by "deli cacy" from putting into words this: Is lameness such as I have described hereditary? No, it is not. Y'ou have every right to happiness with the man you love. And surely he is not to be deprived of his own home and the wife he wants and can take care of because he limps a bit. I Think It All Wrong! DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am twenty and madly in love with a girl two years my junior, and my feelings are reciprocated. How ever, her parents think me shiftless and lazy, while in reality I am only in hard luck. I am now earning sll per week and want to get married, but my fiancee will not wed without her parents' consent. T. O. T. No one should marry on sll a week. The girl is quite right in the circumstances. Until you have prov ed yourself capable of supporting a wife, you should not ask her to marry you.

HXRRISBVRO UMftf TELEGRXPH THEIR MARRIE Copyright by International News Service "What's all this," asked Carrie, as she arranged her rather sparse coif- . l'ure before Helen's dressing mirror. "Glass top'.'" "Yes," Helen said eagerly, "what | do you think of them? Warren and I talked it over and detided that although they were expensive, they do protect the wood so beautifully." "They," said Carrie questioningly, "have you more than one, then?" "Yes, 1 have one on my writing desk, and we have .one for the din ing table. 1 want one for the bed j table, and for the sideboard next, i But we hated to be so extravagant j all at once." "I should say so; I think it's a j piece of recklessness myself. I have ; never indulged in anything of the Rind, and 1 flatter myself that I have just as expensive furniture as you and Warren, if not more so." "Of course you have," Helen agreed hastily, "but really. Carrie, you should try them yourself. You have no idea what a splendid relief it is to feel that if I happen to spill toilet water or perfume, there is no danger of taking the finish off the top of my dressing table, and you know it's impossible to set a glass of water down without bothering about the ring it will make, it saves all kinds of trouble." . "I don't know that I like the idea of putting the dressing table cover | underneath," Carrie continued, un- I compromisingly. ' ''You'd get used to that, I thought' it was strange, too, at first, but now I am crazy about it. Mother ern- I broidered me those scarfs for I Ofrflstmas, anl you see how beauti i fully the glass protects them? I : haven't had these laundered at all, i and they will keep fresh just as they | are for an indefinite time. See how I splendidly flat it keeps the embroid l ery. I should think, Carrie, that : with the beautiful work you do you j would be glad to protect some of I your lovely pieces." j Helen said this last with the de- I liberate idea of placating her sis-- ! ter-in-law, and her effort was not | in vain. | "That does sounds like sense. I | have several beautiful pieces put I awav because I have to use them, I one lovely cloth for a dining room I table." , "Conic out and see the lunch cloth I have underneath the glass ;on the dining room table," Helen said eagerly. And she led the way out to the dining-room, where the table, stripped of its pad and table i cloth, stood revealed covered with j a heavy plate-glass top, underneath I which was a handsome round cloth ! of Madeira embroidery and filet. 1 Well, well, that certainly is an idea." Carrie said, thawing out con siderably. "1 really think I'll get Fred to buy some for me. How much did you pay for them, Helen?" "Well," admitted Helen, deprecat ingly, "they are expensive; this one cost $16." "Sixteen dollars," repeated Carrie scandalized. "But Carrie, it's the heaviest of plate glass, and think of the ad vantage." "Advantage, well, I must say that I don't see enough advantage in the idea to pay out that amount for a Daily Dot Puzzle ' J —"u 75 J 11 '' .W ' & '*> , I f,o ~d Z6 ': -8 I .

After all, one doesn't have | to show one's table linen to the ex- j tent of such wild extravagance." Helen, who was usually only too j glad to agree with everything ; Carrie said in order to keep the j peace, was for once put out at Car- j rie's quick change of Mind. Carrie j j and Fred were far more able to I have things of the kind than were | I she and Warren, but Carrie liked to j j make Helen out abnormally ex- ] j travagant, and Helen for once was ; furious enough to talk back. "Of course, it's a matter of taste," she said coldly. "You were de lighted with the advantage of the idea before you found out that it cost money. After all, Carrie, even if you and Fred have more to spend j than we do, the way Warren and I-l spend our money is a matter for our own decision, isn't it?" "The way you and Warren spend i your money," repeated Carrie. ' i "You mean the way you inveigled Warren into spending it, don't you? Fred and I think it's perfectly ab surd the way you influence Warren." Helen was about to retort angrily when a heary laugh came from the doorway and both women turned to find Warren and Fred confronting 1 them. Carrie, almost certain that Warren and Fred would uphold her in what she said, hastened to re mark that she was just telling Helen how extravagant she had been to buy glass tops for the fur niture. "I told her it was an'unnec- I essary expense," she finished tri j umphantly. "Well, don't blame Helen for it," | said Warren coolly. "It was I who suggested buying them after we had i been to dinner at the Davenports, Helen was crazy about the idea, but thought it unnecessary until I per suaded her that we really ought to have them." "And, my dear," said good-natured Fred, "I don't remember ever saying that Helen inveigled Warren into spending money. You oughtn's to say such things without more truth behind them." Helen, who knew that Warren's nnd Fred's temporary championship of her cause would only lead to more enmity with Carrie later on nevertheless felt a passing thrill of triumph. For once she had come out on top where Carries was con cerned, and that fact would go far toward mediating the unpleasant ness of future bickerings. To Be Continued CHINAMAN* TO SPKAK P. H.
