It was apparent, however, that Channing was still concerned as he turned the pages in search of theatrical gossip. Perhaps no men-| tion of the opening would have[ made ue, yet he rather sus- pected there would be some com- ment. The chances were that the editor would have held space for it.

YR This in itself added zest to the opening since it is whispered that the fair subject of the Krenberg murals rarely leaves the studic where the theatre's paintings are said to have been conceived and executed. The film itself reviewed else- where. Vivienne colored as she looked up. “So I'm installed here!” In-| stantly her expression grew hard! and the lines of her mouth were| bitter. “Why can't they mind theair ownj business? Can't anyone ever dol anything with a decent motive? Isn't there some way to stop them?” Channing shrugged his shoul- ders. “Either ignore or disprove what they say. You-can imagine the result of a libel suit against them. But really, Viv, I think that we've discussed all this before.” He arose to look for his pipe, and Vivienne bit her lip. She remem- bered his words in this very room on the morning he had accused her of placing a previous article in the columns of this sheet. Of that, she had been guilty—a thoughtless, in- sane thing to do, but she could not deny it. Then he had lashed her again in his car on their way from| Philadelphia. Now this had to spoil| the happiness that seemed doomed to die at birth. Oh, way, why, did everything Vivienne tried to do al- ways turn out wrong! “Do you imagine for a moment vile thing put in?” McKESSON’S ANTISEPTIC SOLUTION An ideal mouth wash, antiseptic when used undiluted. 75 cents is Juneau Drug Company Free Deliveiry Phone 33 Post Office Substation No. 1 HAVE YOUR FURS CLEANED with modern machinery.

Instead of the rare blend of fine coffees being roasted in bulk, which is the ordinary method, onl: a few pounds at a time are roasted. These small quantities pass con- tinuously through the “Controlled | Roasters” in which heat and speed | of operation are automatically ! controlled.
