It was simply that she was indiffer-

From where she sat she could

was not conscious OF having TO-

she loved him-she felt that there
was a voice at her ear reminding
her of this. prompting her. She was
sure that she tried TO listen and to
realize the truth of what the voice
was saying, but II was too difficult;
she could not keep her attention

to do with the character Of the per-

Now 1t is an interesting fact that
an examination of the teeth In the
skulls of several hundred children
in the National Museum at Wash
inRton has shown evidence Of decay
in only a single tooth. These skulls
are several hundred years old, and
belonged to Indian tribes scattered
from the Arctic regions to South
America and the South Sea Islands.
The same thing is true of the Es-
kimo Indians of the present day.
Their teeth are large and strong
The explanation. of course, is
that the development Of good teeth
depends upon the use of food that
is hard enough to require vigorous

TVA shut the door, but she did
not lock IL; she turned on every
- light and walked over to the
looking glass.
She stared at her reflection with
dazed eyes-the pretty evening
gown had been torn by Philips
ruthless hand, there was a bruise
on her bare arm, and the red, an
cry mark OF his hand on her face;
her hair was a little disheveled. and
she mechanically raised hand to
straighten 1t.
For a moment she was only con-
scious Of a dull sort of misery.
Philip had struck her-he hated her
80 much that now she was not
merely content with neglect and in
difference-he had struck her.
For the first time in her life there
was no softening in her heart
toward him: for the first time in her
life she did not try to make any
excuses for him; II was irrevocable
now, and final. Her own words,
'.This-finishes-it" summed up the
only emotion in her heart.
She would stay with him no long
err: she would put an end to this
marriage that had been no mar
riage at all.
She had adored Philip with all
the strength and energy OF her
being, but now she remembered
nothing save what she had endured
at his hands.
She found herself speaking aloud
in the silence.
"If I stay I shall only suffer
misery and shame and jealousy:
IL go I shall suffer, too, but at
least / shall keep my self-respect."
1t sounded almost as II she were
arguing with someone as she stood
there, a tragic figure in the bril-
liantly lit room.
She thought Of her wedding day
and the moment when she had
trampled her dress underfoot; she
should have gone then, she told
herself wildly-she ought never to
have set out on this impossible
journey.
She walked away from the glass
and sat down on the couch at the
foot of the bed. clutching its sides
with both hands as If to keep her
self from falling.
The CLOCK out IN the NAH struCh
and then half-past, but she did
not move. She was chilled through
was not conscious of II.
Presently she closed her eyes
giddily: there was throbing pulse
in her head that seemed TO be drtv-
ing her mad; she opened them again
with a little moan of pain TO find
Philip standing beside her.
He WIS as white as n ghost,
with contracted brows and miser-
able eyes,
Forgive me- afterwards she
remembered how strange his voice
had sounded like voice she had
never heard before.
He took up her cloak from the bed
and put Il round her shoulders.

hoarsely. He touched her hand,
but she drew It away from him

refused. As l am only nineteen,

down. He said he would not come
to see me any more. / felt hurt at
first, but shortly after another
Young man asked me to go out
with him. I met my former sweet
heart and he was very angry. He
called and said 1 was making
fool of him by going around with
another man. He asked me to
give him up and go back to him.
Now, as / love him more than 1
do the second, l am at loss
what to do. ANXIOUS.
