stopped at the entrance of the quaint
little hotel at Barminster. which he
had made his headquarters because
of its quietude, for he could motor

heartache.
Perhaps 1t would not be too
strange to add a word right here
about whistling. To any one who
wants pretty mouth. this suggestion
will be invaluable. some gir.s can't
whistle. but every one knows how to
go about 1t, and whistling results in
four distinct beauty rules. You
hardly believe that possible, do you?
but 1 can prove to you that 1t is so.

Almost anything. There, You can

Phyllis rose from the chair and
