PAGE EIGHT Out of Yesterday By Nell Brinkley

Married Life the Third Year By MABEL HERBERT URNER. "Can. I direct you, madam?" Helen had been In the shop only a few moments, but already four suave floor walkers had accosted her with this polite but insistent question. "No thank you," she had murmured, in some confusion. Warren had told her that she could not "look around" in the London

shops; that when you entered an English store you were expected to buy, and if you did not buy you were made to feel uncomfortable. And now Helen found that this was true. The cheerful showing of goods, which is the policy of every American merchant, seemed unknown over here. She had not asked to be shown, nor even priced any article, so she might feel she was under no obligation to buy. Yet she could not even walk through the stores and glance about without being stopped at every few steps by a frock-coated floor-walker with his persistent, "Can I direct you, madam ?" That seemed the mission of these floor-walkers to acost every one they saw strolling through with no definite purchasing intent in their gaze. While the only question was, "Can I direct you, madam?" the implication was plainly: "These goods are here to be purchased; we hope you have come for that purpose." But Helen wanted to look about ,to get a general idea of the shops be fore she made her purchases. She had only a small sum to spend, and oat of that she must buy souvenirs and presents for an of Warren's people and her own. SOMETHING DIFFERENT. While of course these presents mat be inexpensive, she had hoped ho get them distinctly English, something they could not get at home. But how could she do. this, if she was mot allowed to look about, if she was expected to begin to buy the minuate the entered a store. She had paused a minute to glance at same chiffon scarfs, which were displayed at the veil counter. One of them hi black would be nice for Warren's mother, she thought. But she was afraid to go nearer to examine them, for the saleslady had already noticed her hesitation, and she was waiting for here to come close enough to make her the victim of a sale. But such hesitation was not to be allowed, for a new floor-walker leaned over her from the rear. Do you wish to be served, madam?" Then, with a wave towards the waiting clerks, "Madame wishes to see some scarfs." "This is very smart, ma'am," holding up a pale pink one. "We have them in all colors. Very good value, ma'am, for ten and eleven three farthings." 'Ten and eleven three farthings'. Helen was eternally trying to reduce j that to dollars nnd cents. Eiht shil- f lines was two dollars. Why, it was almost three! And she had seen practically the same thing in New York for SI TtR

"Perhaps, ma'am, you would like a Kt'seswhite one better? You can wear white N HFAVV p.n7e with everything. Shall I send ! T , , V , , , one of these?" taking out her check Helen had heard Warrens amused book with the air of a sale completed, comments on the heavy brown i -tv tx'itu v,!i "Vr. nn it ian't with which the Englishman does up

auite what I want, Helen tried to tretk away. But the determined saleslady held her with a "We have many others, let me show madam i some other styles. Now, this is quite smart." HARD TO LEAVE Helen knew that the more goods she was shown the more criminal would be the affront if she did not buy. But she COULD not get away. At last, in desparation, she bought the cheapest scarf they had. It was a narrow and rather flimsey one, for three and six 87 cents. j It would do for Delia, although she had intended taking her a pair of gloves. After that Helen was afraid to hesitate before any counter. Still she was met every few minutes by the in evitable floor-walker with his inevitable query. Her answer, "No, thank you," was always received with a look of cold disapproval. Plainly she was an American and plainly unfamiliar with their stores then why did she not want to be directed? Why was she In the shop if not to make purchases? Why was she strolling about In this aimless way? These were the thooghts of the floor-walker. Finally she hit upon a plan of walking swiftly with an air of intent determination, as though making straight for some particular counter. This was effective, and she was not molested, but it gave her little chance for observation. Then she evolved a still better plan. She noticed that many of the English women were carrying parcels. This was, at least, an evidence of good intentions. Perhaps if she bad a half dozen small parcels sIhi might be allowed to remain undisturbed. Hurriedly she made her way to the toilet counter and bought a few staple things that she always needed and which required little selection talcum powder, bath powder, tooth brush, etc. She bought them one at LADIES! SECRET TO DARKEN GRAY HAIR Bring Back Its Color and Lustre With Grandma's Sage Tea Recipe. Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea. with sulphur and alcohol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant : remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and railing hair. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use tonic, costing about 50 cents a large bottle, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," thus avoiding a lot of muss. While wispy, gray, faded hair Is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear years younger.

Yet she was amazed to see them wrap up these small toilet things in paper dark and heavy ; enough for a hardware store, and tie them with coarse twine, making ! the inevitable loop by which they : carr yall packages. Then, dangling her purchases with an air of triumphant defence, she ; started off again for a further exploration of the shops. That evening she told Warren of her ruse, and laughingly assured him that she Intended to leave the packages unopened and carry them again tomorrow, so that she might make the rest of her purchases after a mere leisurely survey. Warren threw back his head and I roared. "By George. Helen's developing a sense of humor! Well, if you can side-step the English floor-walker and saleslady, you will do a darn sight better than most Americans. Somo afternoon I will meet you early and we will have some fun. Want, to get a raincoat and some shirts over here; we will go to one or two places and have them pull down a lot of stuff and then walk out without buying a farthing's worth. "Jingo, they will be mad,' with an appreciative chuckle, "But, Warren, that would not be rair-" "Why not? Of course it would be fair, and a darned good lesson for the shopkeeper.

two kinds of cqurrb for which

For instance, a person catches cola :i.id acquirer; a congestion of the mucous membrane of the throat or bronchial tubes. This creates a roughness and sensitiveness of the membrane. Tlw sensitive condition of the nerves of the mucous membrane excites cough. CougTi is Intended to expel something from the tubes. Tli' re behiK little or nt 'ting- to expel, tbe coub'i continues, needlessly Irritating tho tubes more and more. Peruna is regarded as an excellent tonic expectorant in such cases. It allays the Irritation of the bronchial nerves. It also assists the nerve centers In recasting further progress of the cough. The ordinary cough of thi3 sort is generally dispelled by a wrek'3 use of Tcruna. Other times it may require a llttlo longer treatment. There is another form of cough for which Peruna Is well adapted. It Is toe so-called stomach cough, which comes from an irritable condition of the stomach. With this kind of cough there is little or no expectoration. There is nothing to expel from the bronchial tubes, but if the cough Is allowed to continue very long1 It may produce a serious condition of the bronchial tubea. Peruna is a good etomachic. It tends to correct the Irritable condition of the stomach. It generally operates very promptly and effectually. Sometimes even the first dose of Peruna will give Immediate relief to the stomach cough. The Ills of Life THE THIRTEENTH EDITION OF THE ILLS OF LIFE is now ready for distribution.
