SONIA A Story of Dangerous Love —— By VIDA HURST
„ AT SIDNEY MAINES' party SONIA MARSH. 1/. and pretty, is disroveml kissnuf JOE CARTER, in a dark bedroom. Joe pleads with her to marry him to escape the scandal in STOCKMAN, but Sonia refuses him as she has TOM UNDERWOOD. Through DR. DON STILLWATER, Soma obtains a position in the San Iranciseo real estate offioe ol JED THOMAS, his uncle. MAXINE LARUE, head of her department, invites Sonia as well as VIOLET. *FERN. JINNY and FRANKIE to her liquor party. Sonia attends a dance at Giandija's with BERTIE DONOHUE, where she ynetts FRANKLIN CRANE, with whom she is immediately infatuated. Bertie tells her that Crane, whose mother is wealthy, is addicted to periodic drinking spells and the .only reason he keeps his position in thrir office is because his father was an intimate friend of Jed Thomas. Sonia moves into apartments with Maxine. Maxine and her middle aged friend MAC MaoGREAGOR are reconciled after a quarrel. Sonia looks forward exultantly! to a date made with Franklin Crane, but in the meantime, to dispel suspiieons. she accepts an invitation to a. dance wtih WALTER D. HENDERSON, a wealthy bachelor of Berkley. CHAPTER 12 Maxine assisted at Sonia's toilette t.th expert hands. “Wear the pink,” she ordered. “Tour line with Walter Henderson is the big-eyed unsophisticated.” Sonia laughed. “That's never my line, Maxine. I couldn’t look unsophisticated if I wanted to and anyway I don’t want to. lie can take me or leave me just as I am.” Nevertheless she wore the pink chiffon, -but reluctantly. It had seemed so entirely Franklin Crane’s gown. “I have known Walter Henderson since 1 was 19," Maxine continued anxiously. “And I know he likes ’em young and inexperienced..” Sonia powdered her thin shoulders with a huge puff. In the mirror she • iw hero reflection —slock hair, nar ro\Y eyes, scarlet mouth, arm with, the puff behind her head, a living model from Vogue. She smiled, well pleased. | v "I shall be just as I am,” she decided. She thought Walter Henderson's greeting of Maxine a little formal

Her Hair Fairly SPARKLES Now! The woman who knows what to do after waving her hair doesn't fear the effect of hot irons. Nor of frequent washings. A few drops of Danderine—on comb or towel —and the hair is soft and lustrous, and behaves beautifully. , A bit of Danderine rubbed lightly into the /scalp, is the one sure way to dissolve every particle of dandruff. But a, few drops more make a dressing that is simply marvelous. A sheen that rivals brilliantine, and no grease! Any permanent wave or water wave lasts much-longer and looks much nicer when Danderine is used instead of water to “set” the wdve.

[ for one who had known her since she was 19. But he was all attention to Sonia. His smooth, well modulated voice carried force with it. The most desirable t&ble in the room, the most attentive waiter, the choicest food were obtained withThe least possible effort. A lift of the eyebrow, a shade of displeasure in his pleasant voice wrought miracles. Sonia liked that* She liked the extra air of deference the waiter wore when serving their cocktails. It was pleasant appearing with a man so sure of himself and the world. Lights and music reflected the gayety of her mood. “You seeip _ like a different girl tonight,” her host commented. “Much more gracious and amiable.” .“Was I so very rude that night of Maxine’s party?” “Not rude. But rather haughty and unattainable. Tow interested me with your intensely grownup airs, but I like this Sonia better.” She., smiled back. “I am more at home now. At fust I was so blatantly independent. I couldn’t bear for anyone to see how lonely I really was.” “You admit that you were lonely then?” “Oh, terribly; not for Stockton,” she insisted, seeing him smile, “nor for anyone in it, hut becaus?* 1 hadn’t quite gotten adjusted to San Francisco.” ‘And what’s wrong with four home town?” 'Don i think I'm knocking it,” she said quickly. “There was nothing wrong with the town. It was just me. I've never seemed to belong some way. My father and mother were poor, but that wasn’t the reason, i always seemed different from Ihe rest. Their ideas and convictions left me unmoved. I have my own ideas of morals and conduct," she said honestly, “and I believe they are different the average nice girl’s." . "You aren’t trying to iipply that you’re not a nice girl, Sonia?" “I'm not sure whether I am or not,” she answered, frankly. | “Everyone in Stockton thought I was bad. Even -the girls who liked | me were shocked at me. And their 1 mothers had a way of looking" at me—Ugh!” Hi.- keen, intelligent face lighted with inlerest. "Toll me about it, Sonia. What, are thbse morals and ideals of conduct you spoke of just now?" I don t think I could put them into words. It’s more an indefinite -feeling about things. That one should be a good sport and play the game, taking 1 his losses,” shf* smiled, “like a gentleman.” “Well, there’s nothing so about that. That's the, code ofany sportsman.” 1 know, hut I-also feel that every girl must live her own life, in her own way, following the lines that seem Indicated in her particular case. And I neither understand nor care for all the ‘blah’ that is shouted 1 about conventions and virtue.” But, my dear” he reproved, gently, “you feel that way because you tire so—rwill you pardon my I Vsing your own words—blatantly ! young!” Sonia’s eyes lifted in disapoprov.nl. “I <>u know it is not unto youth goes that we begin to appreciate it, ■tTlif ip's the gift of the gods, Sonia, and when you've run contrary to a few conventions and gotten bumped, jon 11 long for the inexperience again.”
I.ator when they had danced many times, he said to her: “‘Sonia, don’t think me a disgusting old crab, but I don’t like to see you live with a girl like Maxine." “What's wrong with Maxine?” snapped Sonia. “Don’t be offended and don’t Ihink I’m criticising her in any ■iense of the word. It’s just that she •sn't good for you, that’s all.” “Too indefinite.” shrugged Sonia. ( olor was high on his cheeks now, making his strangely more human and less imposing. Their relationship while dancing lost its distinctveness. Subtly transformed by tne alchemy bf Sana's nearness hie had become to her just another man. Unconsciously her voice had assumed its old arrogance. Insolence to tl\e advancing male! “Sonia,” he answered, “I can’t say any more. I haven't anything against Maxine, but understand?” Understand what? Maxine has been wonderful to me. She is head of my department, and ten years older than I ajn. i see no reason why that should prohibit my living with her, particularly when the advantages are all on my side." “Very wellvv I shan’t say any more." “If you knew,” she said, passionately, "how all my life I’ve longed for beauty and color. How I’ve loathed the untidiness of our poor little house, littered with scraps from my mother's dressmaking. How happy it makes me to wake in the morning to harmony knowing that I am free to live my own life. V)h, can’t you see?” ”1 can, indeed,” he replied. "You

will proceed to burn your fingers and nothing in the world can stop you. Shall we dance again?” He held her lightly, easily, smiling down into her face. Hut Sonia gave no answering smile. She was hurt and a little uneasy. Why shouldn't she room with Maxine? And what did he mean, burn her fingers?” “At any rate,” she said, as they resumed their places at the table, “they are my fingers." "They are,” he agreed, soberly. “And you are privileged to burn them as much as you like.” There was a twinkle in his eyes. ”1 might even be prevailed upon to, help you, Sonia.” But Sonia was angry. “I think you are wrong about Maxine,” she insisted. “And about a great many other things, too—” “All right; granted' You see I refuse to quarrel.” * ■* a Something in his light tone hurt. He had not spoken thus earlier in the evening. Something seemed missing in his treatment of her. Was it his respect? Sonia wondered. Perhaps her cavalier remarks had hurt his pride. “I didn’t intend to be cross,” she said penitently. “I was going to be sweet to you_ this evening.

OUT OUR WAY—By WILLIAMS
BLIND MAY LEARN 10 SEE THROUGH CELL PERCEPTION Tiny Antennae Pushed Through Skin for Light, 1 Says Miss Keller. Ct/ XEA Service NEW YORK, Oct. 14.—The blind may learn to see without eyes. Helen Keller has followed the line between shadow and bright sunlight as it crept across a wall fifteen feet away. Mrs. Leila Holterhoff Heyn, another New York blind woman now in Paris, has succeeded more fully, •even to the point of recognizing the color of flowers and the outllvi of large type in newspaper headlines. But— This eyeless sight is a bitter, ex .hausting and uncertain process. It requires intense concentration, patience and effort. Miss Keller and Mrs. Heyn believe, however, that in time this eyeless vision may be acessible to every blind person. Instead of seeing with the eye, the alternative method is for the blind person to rece.ve si#it impressions through tiny cells in the skin of the face, neck and even in the fingers. The system has been developed by the French scientist, poet and playwright, Louis Fairgoule. That experimenter first announced his theory about two years ago in a book called “Eyeless Sight.” Mrs. Heyn went to Paris almost immediately and begun experiments under Farigoule’s direction. She was a highly educated woman \\ho had specialized in the subjects of psychoanalysis and medicine, and her progress was rapid. ' Miss Keller's experiments were undirected except for the book and her results were not so successful. She says she will reneW her efforLs with Mrs. Heyn when the latter returns home. After 100 hours of work. Miss Keller says, she was able to get “sight” impressions through the cells of her cheeks and chest. She got impressions of weight, pressure and heat. She fallowed the line of sunlight. Extreme fatigue followed these ex-

periments. Her chest and cheeks ! (lamed with the blood brought to the I surface by her concentration. She : says she could feel an entirely new , sensation, as of millions of tiny an tennae pushing through *her skin. 1 groping for light. Reversing Evolution" Farlgoule identifies these antennae as “ocelles.” They are entirely dis- : ferent from other cells, and he says j they were unknown before he discovered them. They doubtless are the | same perception machinery as\plants and low animal forms use to distinguish light. In the evolutionary process, the higher alnmals having eyes lost the use of the “ocelles.” Reports of Mrs. Heyn's progress are more startling. 'She has been totally blind since she was a year and a half old, and she wears artificial eyes. All memory 6£ the visual world disappeared long ago. Yet she has accomplished the rudiments of sight. The labor of getting eyeless sight is enormous. It is not always the same, but varies with the health and mental state of the blind person. It often changes from hour to hour. It has very strict limitations. At present, the patient submits to a state of semi-hypnosis. At once, critics may object that the patient does not really ee, but gets suggestions from the person working with her. - That is not the case. Semi-hypno-sis is practiced merely to empty the consciousness of all extraneous matters. Absolute concentration is essential. Mrs. Heyn has progressed so far that she can put herself in this state of semi-hypnosis and conduct the experiments alone in her royn. This proves that she is not deluded by another person. Saw Color First The process even Kvith this exceptionally wjll trained (Ad intelligent womamvas very slow. It began with the distinction of colors. Later came the reading of headlines dn newspapers. This was flpllowed by the recognition of facesNnd forms. Mrs. Heyn saw her own silhouette in the mirror. She walked in a park and collected jonquils from the flower beds, distinguishing them from the other flowers by their color. She went to the opera and saw the stage, distinguished some of the colors and followed the. movements of one of the singers. Extra-retinal vision thus far has been unable to encompass the movements of a whole group of persons. /Finally visual character became

Years ago Cjtstor Oil Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups were the remedies in common use for Infants and Children; Castor Oil so nauseating as to be almost impossible and the others all containing Opium in one form or another, but to disguised as to make them pleasant* to the taste, yet really to stupefy the child and give the appearance of relief from pain. v It required years of research to find a purely vegetable combination that would take the place of theso disagreeable, unpleasant and vicious remedies that from habit had become almost universal. This was the inception of, and the reason for, the introduction of Fletcher’s Castoria, and for over 30 years it has proven its worth, received the praise of Physicians everywhere and become a household word among, mothers.
