Confessions of a Bride WHAT IF DADDY REALLY IS BLIND?

“Blind!” I whispered hoarsely. Once more I saw the pitiful figure of my dream; oud dear daddy holding out ills hand to me is If he wanted me to guide his steps! Did Chrys’ oulja board prove my dream true? It seemed to me that It did. For a moment It convinced me of the truth of all I had ever heard about the unseen world. "Our daddy—blind!” I repeated. “Maybe this doesn’t refer to daddy,” said Chrys. “Maybe it means that the control could see nothing more!" “Find out! Hurry up, Chrys! It’s terrible to be In doubt!” But the pointer was obstinate. It stalled for a time, then slipped down to the word "goodbye” at the foot of the board, and stuck there. “Establish contact!” I exclaimed. "Jiggle the receivers, Chrys! Don't let your control hang up that way!" "He's gone—at least for today. Spirits are awfully sensitive. You never can tell what may upset the delicate connection between their world nnd this.” “I call It a dreadful trick!” I axclaimed crossly. "It leaves us In such a horrible worry about daddy. If he Is blind, it is onr duty to go in search of him. If he has lost his sight I must be his eyes. And we ought to have him where his money can surround him with the last degree of luxury.” I went on. “Let me experiment with the oulja board, pleas®.” My experiment was most confusing. Usually the ccntrol refused to bu-ige when I touched It. This signified that the spirits realized that I was an unbeliever, Chrys explained. Then I tried to imitate Chrys, ns a t# st. I’m a pretty good speller myself and my fingers are nimble and my wits fr.lrly quick, but It was quite impossible for me to make up a sentence and spell it out on the board with any degree of rapidity, whereas, under Chrys’ slender fingers' the pointer was accustomed to race from letter to letter, so fast that. I could hardly follow It. Naturally, the. event didn’t clear up my confusion about spiritualism. Not all of Jordan Spence’s explanations and denials had satisfied me. I continued to be haunted by the same question which was bothering hundreds of honest, thoughtful persons. Was I to believe, or not to believe, in the strange modern manifestations of the occult? “What If Daddy Lorlmer actually is blind—nnd needing us?” I whispered ai Chrys returned her precious oulja board to its box. The suggestion would make me suffer indefinitely, I realized, unless I made a determined effort to throw It off. It Is silly to be harassed by the improvable WITCHHAZEL AND CAMPHOR RELIEVE EYE STRAIN Common wltchhazel, camphor, hydrastis, etc., an mixed In Lavoptlk eye wash, produce quick results when used for eye strain. One customer was greatly astonished at the restful feeling produced by a single application. A young man reports that both he and his mother were greatly helped by Lavoptlk.

HOWTO ACQUIRE HAIR BEAUTY You can enjoy a delightful shampoo with very little effort and for a very trifling cost, if you get from your druggist's a package of canthrox and dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. Your shampoo is now ready. Just pour a little at a time on the scalp and hair until both are entirely covered by the daintiiy perfumed preparation that thoroughly dissolves and removes every bit of dandruff, excess oil and dirt. After rinsing the hair dries quickly with a fluffiness that makes it seem heavier than it it, and takes on a rich luster, and a softness that makes arranging U a pleasure.—Advertisement.

I suppose. Wise persons control their worries In sensible ways, I had nevet learned how. Chrys, too, was woefully troubled by what she considered a revelation. In accordance with her habit of mind, she mapped out a plan of ac tlon Immediately. “My dear Jane, the boys never will listen to wbat my oulja board tells me,” she complained. "Nothing will persuade them that daddy needs ont help. I am positive that I can trust the messages absolutely. Such being the case, it is up to you and me and mother to rescue daddy. Even if he Is with a nest of pirates," she added. "It’s a wild Idea, Chrys. Yon know perfectly well that the boys will scoff at us." “We do not have to depend npnn the boys, my dear. We women have plenty of money of onr own. We can buy a ship—and cruise the Pacific on our own account!" "Yes—yes—l suppose we can," 1 agreed. In spite of myself I admired a girl who could think In such magnificent and spectacular terms. Then I had to laugh a little. "Three wise women—going to sea—ln a tub. If the tub had been stronger—but Bob would never let me go even in a strong tub. And Jordan Spence will never let yon go, either.” “I am not married. And I vow, this minute, that I never will marry until our daddy is safely home once more!" "Don’t, Chrys. That sounds weird, my dear."—Copyright, 1920, Newspaper Enterprise association.

She falls to see the wisdom cf burning the life out of the hair. That the heated iron Is ruinous to the hair la being more nnd more appreciated. Many are discarding this Instrument of torture In favor of plain liquid silmerlne. This is not only harmless but is really beneficial to the hair. Instead of giving one’s tresseg a burnt-out, lifeless appearance, It gives them a bright lustre, and the curliness looks altogether natural. It is a simple thing to procure a few ounces of liquid silmerlne from the druggist and apply a ilttlo with a clean tooth brush—from root to tip—before doing up the hair.
