20 Ticture Show, August Zlrf, 1920. STEPPING OUT." (Continued front page 18.) June was not long in finding a position as typist, and slic earned enough money to Keep herself, Mrs. ' Hillary, and the baby. But she was not happy. One day she met Mr. Wilson in the rity, and he insisted that she should have lunch with him. " Of course, I know that you have left your husband," he said. " No one could blame you, but it puts vou in a very unhappy position anil it is not right that vou should live like you are are doing. ' " I can do nothing else," said June. " Although I am not living with my husband, I am still bound to him legally." Mr. Wilson nodded. "There arc plenty of men who woidd be proud to have vou for a wife," he said; He sppkc respectfully anil with real tenderness, but June could not fail to see by his eyes that he meant he would like to marry her. " I wonder," she said to herself as she left Mr. Wilson to go to her olliee. She was wondering that night as she sat in the little flat she had taken. But even as she leaned to thoughts of freedom and a new life with a man who, even if she did not love she could respect, there came a vision of Bob the day he had proposed to her. She went over to the telephone and called him up. " I thought you might like to know where we were staying, so that you could find '.our way if you wanted to see the baby," she said. " I'm coming right now," was Bob's reply. And from the exultant note of happiness in his voice June knew he still loved her. It was a new Bob, or. rather, the old Bob of their honeymoon days that June admitted to the fiat. " I've come, and I want to stay for ever, June," lie said humbly. " It rests with you, dear," she said. " There must, be no more mistakes. It is not enough to say you love me, you must prove it all the time." Bob crushed her in his arms. _ * "My eyes are wide open now. dear," he said. " I'll do anything for you. I'll wash the floor." " I've got a better idea than that, Bob," whispered June. " We'll step out together." (Adapted from incidents in the Paramount Arteraft pholo-play. By permission.)

IN THE DRESSING-ROOM A Careless Haktt — Care of Your Brushes — Look to Your Tootk-Brusk — How to ^Wask Hair-Bruskes. THERE are many girls who consider themselves the soul of neatness who are most careless in one respect. They would be horrified at the mere idea of being thought slovenly, and yot, in this particular direction, they lay themselves open to severe criticism on the score of uncleanliness. This point which so many women neglect, is the strict care of their brushes — hair, tooth, nail and bath— all the brushes, m fact, which they have to use in the cleanliness of their body. There are numberless girls who think. nothing of using uncloan hair-brushes or using a nail or tooth-brush much longer than they should. It is not for one moment because they are consciously or deliberately unclean in their habits. In fact, in many instances, the woman who neglects attendance to her brushes is mo3t fastidious to all other appointments, and personal cleanliness is with her a perfect mania. And yot sho will allow her hair-brushes to go unwashed for weeks, and her tooth-brush to lay uneleansed for quite a long while. Look After Your Tooth Brush. BUT this is not a matter of untidiness as often as it is one of carelessness and thoughtlessness. As long as the brushes themselves are used in the care of the body the accessories are apt to be forgotten. Hut vou should pay just, as much attention to the brushes which you use in making your toilette, as you do in making your toilette itself. It is just as inexcusable to use the same toothbrush for two weeks without cleaning it, as it is to go without cleaning your teeth for that period, and is quite as slovenly. You cannot expect to have well-kept teeth if your brush is not well kept. Onco a week you should wash the brush thoroughly with Castile soap and water, and then boil it for three or four minutes. This boiling kills any germs which may l>c lurking in the bristles, and makes it antiseptic. On no account should the toothbrush bo put in a cabinet or closed tooth-brush holder or box while it is still wet. Hang it on a rack .in the bathroom where it can dry. If you always placo your tooth-brush in ft holder after using it, you wiM find that there will be a nasty musty smell about it in a fow days, even if tho top of the holder is ventilated, a holder should only be brought into u«e for (ravelling purposes. Never use a tooth-brush when the bristles start to come out, as is so often the caso in those days of inferior articles. For these bristles are apt to fall out in tho gums or between tho tooth, often causing decay, and even abscesses. For this reason, too, it is novor wise to buy very cheap toothbrushes, because tho bristles become loosened so quickly. | The. best way is to buy n' couplo of really good brushes, and keep both going at once, one one week, the other the next. If you boil these and keep them sterilised and very clean, there is no reason why these two brushes -I I.I not last you for quite a long while. But do not forget to throwaway the brush at the first indication of loosening in the bristles. Care of the Hair-Brushes. IT is impossible to keep your hair either clean or in a good condition if the brush youuso upon it is dirty. Hair« brushes should be washed evory othorday. You must remom. bor that your hair-brash re T THIi s. reeif Pattern No. 38.088. Such a Sports Coat would be invaluable lor autumn wear. moves all the outer dust and dirt which b!o\» from the street into your hair, and even takes away a good deal of the dirt which clings to the-sealp. Then again, if the hair becomes greasy, the grease also clings to the brush, ami so a horrid mixture of grease and dirt clings ti> the brush, and also to the hair when it is brudicd with it in this dirty state. And how can you expect to keep the head clean, and the hair shining and beautiful if you use a brush which holds all the dust collected in a week or so t How to Wash Them. ON the other hand, if you keep your ha'rbrushes thoroughly clean at all times, it tends to keep your hair clean all tho longer. To givo your brushes a proper cleaning, soak them, bristles down, in very hot water with a little soap dissolved in it. If you wash the brushes threo times a week, all that will 1b necessary will bo to shake the brush up ad down in the suds until all dust is removed. If this does not remove the dirt, take your coniU and run it up and down through the grooves of the bristles Until everyspeck of dirt is dislodged. Always put a few drops of household ammonia in the" last rinsing water, and dry, if possible, in the sun. At other times hang them over a heated stove, arranging so that the bristles face the heat. Xever allow the backs of the brushes to go into the w-nter or you will spoil the wood <k silver of which they aro made. For Greasy Hair. ALKING of hair, reminds me to tell yo l a splendid recipe for greasy ha:r that was given to me by a film actress. Hair that is inclined to be greasy is apt to be woi>e during tho hot months. Tho following lotion should be npplied night and morning until an improvement is noticed. Mix_ twenty grains of rescorcin with an ounce of distilled witch-hay.el. adding one ounce of alcohol ond half an OtmoB of rose-water. A little of this mixture should bo poured into a saucer and well massaged into the roots of tho hair with the tips of the fingers. Plenty of brushing with a rlean stiff brush is essential to remove the oily appearance from the hair. To Stimulate the Growth. ime actress gavo mo another pe to stimulate the growth win n tho hair is very thin and inclined t o fall and spli t at t he ends. Th' s lotion should be applied evciy night for about six weeks. To make tho lotion, mix togetli-r four drachms each of spirit ot rosemary and tincture of cc:itharides, threo drachms of ncetic acid, twenty grains of sulphate of quinine, ami add sevon ounces of water. Shako well, and dab among the roots of tho hair after you hsYO massaged the scalp' for tin minutes. At the ond of six weeks, tho lotion need only be applied about threo times a week, but tho massage should be given every night. The Picture Girl's Sports Coat. HERE is such similarity among woollen i i coats that tho Picture Girl has elect ed to make her o\\ n, and so obtain one a little different to thai of her neighbours. She has chosen a delightful lemon blanket cloth, with n wee black pin-stripe running through it.
