READ THIS FIRST: daughter of the Cyrus Lexingtons, jilts Staley Drummond, a rich bach- clor older than herself, to marry her mother's chauffeur, Pat France. Her family and friends drop her in- Lome. Pat has invented a new kind of riston rigg, and he and his friend, Roy Jetterson, rent a tiny shop where they manufacturc the new ring. Pat works three or four nights cek, not only ia the shop, but helping in Roy's garage, and Lily fnids life very dull and uneventful. However, she still is in love with Pat and is very jealous of his former swectheart, Elizabeth Ertz. Money Love stantly, and she goes to live with| Pat 1n a little flat near his parents’| One day Lily meets her friend, | Sue Cain down town, and she asks | her to a party, Lily wants some | new clothes, and appeals to Staley, | who gives her his own check to pay | for them. Florence France, Pats| stster, is bookkeeper in the clothes | shop, sees the vheck, and later on, | when Lily and Pat quarrel, she tells Pat about it, Lily goes home to her father's house to find that he has had some business losses and that her mother and she will have to do all the houscwork and economize a great deal. Staley is devoted to her, but Lily begins to tong for Pat. S8he goes | to ace him and he thinks she has come because of a newspaper article on the automobile page that to.d all about his LaFrance Pilston ring. Lily has not even seen the article, and says s0, but he does not believe her. Elizabeth Ertz is at the apart- ! ment, apparently helping Pat with | his housework, and although Lily sees her there, she does not question Pat about her. She goes home and tries to be contented with life there. On the night before Sue Cain's se- | cret marriage to Jack Eastman, the | pair and herself go with Jtaley to| | s house to “celebrate” the event, | Staley tells her that a better piston { ring than Pat's has just been put on the market and that he is thinking of putting some of his money into the new company.

When it is decided to name Eliza- beth Ertz as the corespondent, Lily, with a qualm of conscience, goes to ! Pat's mother to make a clean breast of the plot. NOW GO ON WITH THE 8TORY CHAPTER LV Mra. France's eyes snapped be- hind her pteel.rimmed glasses, and she thw d ~he counter smartly with heridgmall work-ropghened band: o “is “Don’t you come here and' talk to me about my son, Pat,” she said with a,vigorous nod of her small neat looking head. “Just remembex that you were no kind of a wife to | him at any time.” ! 8he stopped talking and with e jerk she turned towards the e.de door that opened from the side yard of the little white house. Lily turned too, following her eyes. There stood Pat in his old corduroy pants and shirt llecvux,l‘ looking at them from under brows that were twisted into a frown. Ha.came towards them,. his blue eyes shining in the sun that slanted in through the front window and lay like a rug of gold tissue on the | wooden floor. “What's the matter?” he asked and his voice was 80 cold and dull that Lily wondered if it could be Pat’s voice. He put his head to one side a lit- tle and looked down at her. “Did; you come to see me?” he asked, ' standing closc to her. 8o clase that by moving an inch or two Lily could have touched him. His nearneas-—the warmth and | comfort of him—affected her as they always did, and she wanted to | move that inch or two. S8he ached to throw herself into his arms. And she would have done it too, ' if it had not been for his mother, | who spoke just at that precise sec- ond, in answer to his question. “I'll tell you what's the matter, | Pat,” she began. “This woman has come down here to tell me that she is going to drag Elizabeth’s name and yours through the divorce court. ! ! That's what's the matter, if you want to know.” Lily gasped with surprise, and she heard Pat make a sound that was not quitc & gusp or quite a grunt, but a combination eof the two. He stepped back quickly, and his face reddened with anger. His eyes nar- rowed into a single bcam. “Would you do that?”” he asked, ' “when ycu know doggoned well that that gir] § pure as any woman | that ever walked? And after the thing you did yourself? After the ! way you stayed out afternoon after afternoon with Drummond, and then came back to me with some cock- and-bull story, wearing clothes and | fura that he had given you? Why. it anybody is going to be dragged through the courts you ought to be.” | Lily scarcely heard what he said after that first sentence: “When you { know that girl is as pure as any | woman that ever walked.” | It seemed to burn itself into her train—that sentence, and the tone in which Pat uttered it. “Why, he speaks of her as if she were an angel instead of a woman who is trying to take him away from me, in all probability,” ehe said to herself, and 21l of her jeal- | ousy of thc meek-faced little nurse blazed up within her like a fire | fanned by a high wind.

Ana you know it, and if T want to name And then, before anyone coule stop her from going, she elippea from the high stool where she had been sitting and was out of the dooy at the front of the ahop and into her mother's old car that waited at the curb, “I'It do it, too, I'll fix them both,» she promised herself furiously, going through the humble streets of the neighborhood that once had been like home to her, She never had likd them, even when they had been home-like and familiar to her, and sghe fairly hated them now. “How did I ever get into such & place and in with such peoplc?” vhe asked hersclf, turning towards the heart of the town. She was going straight to the lawyer's office to tell him to go ahead with her divorce Jjust as fast as he could do it. Bhe was full of resentment and a strong desive for revenge. At 12 o'clock, when she left his office high up in the Elkins build- ing tower/the noon-tide bells were ringing. She knew that she ought to go home and help her mother with the endless round of houschold tasks— the polishing And sweeping and cooking and mending. She knew that she was expecting her for lunch, too. “But I'm not going home,” Lily decided. “I'm too blue and miser- able.” In her misery she turned towards | Staley, who, after all, had all sorts | of amusing things to do at the end of his purie strings. “Take me to lunch,” she com- manded him, when she burst un- ceremoniously into his private office, and then, in the doorway, she stopped. For Staley’s private secretary, a sweet-faced little blonde woma~ whom Lily had often noticed an¢ | honestly admired, was sitting on the | corner of Staley'’s desk, with he hands on his shoulders, and Staley" hair was rumpled as if she had bees fussing with it. She turned and flushed a guilty red when she heard Lily open the | door and Staley, very much fluster- ed, jumped 1o his feet, smoothing decwn his hair with both hands. ‘Oh,” said Lily. “You're all alike, aren’t you? All you men—"" It was a trite and sflly thing to say, but millions of women have said it and have meant it, too, just as she meant it then. 8he barely noticed the little blond secretary when she slunk out of the cffice, Her eyes were on Staley, and ®0 were all her thoughts. “Here he s, wildly in love with me, s0 he thinks," she said to her. self, “but he carries on & common- love affair with that little woman. It I married him—" Oh, wel!, what if he did not behave himself after she married him? What if he did go on having these small and unimportant love affairs? Did it make any real dif- ference? “I never will care for hi ** she thought, coldly, leas I have to see him the better, suppose, and in the meantime I'll be safe from poverty and hard work—"" Another thought was in the back of her head. She might not have to live all her days with Staley. Di- I jvorce, now that she had come close to the idea of it, scemed so easy. 8She did not realize how immoral , her thonght process was at this time. | It did not come to her that when a woman gets away from true love and decency, her feet slide very easily and swiftly into bottomless depths. To 8Sue Cain, now Sue Eastman, Lily had always said her soul. And it was to Sue Cain that she went with her new problem—the problem of Staley and the little blond secre- tary. juppose T go ahead and get my Givorce and then he doesn’t want to marry me?" she asked Sue, who laughed her to scor “Don't be a sap,” said the prac- tical Sue. *“Just because he kisses an office vamp doesn’t mean that he's off you.

The are put there primarily for the pur. pose of beautifying the teeth by re. moving film and dirt. With the as. sistance of vigorous brushing, the soap and chalk or pumice stene or other polishing material will clean and acour off most of these impuri. ties. Oceasionally, the mouth hecomes acid, that is, the secretions such as the saliva, become acid. The teeth, |Which are composed largely of al- kaline substances, when acted upon by acids, are likely to decay in such a manner as to destroy them. In order to prevent this decay, an al. kzline ejement, such as magnesia ‘or chalk, incorporated into the den. ifrice will act as an antldote to the mouth acids. There is always an advantage in using mild antiseptics and as most dentifrices contain antiseptic flavor. ing olls you are almost sure to re. ceive this mild medication in any dentifrice you select.
