Chapter 81

There was a sudden silence a silence
that could be felt and heard, it was
so intense. Mrs. Talbot came a step
into the room, Luther behind her.
"Oh. Oh, yes. mother" Amy said,
somehow getting the hand with the
cigaret behind her. We're having tea,
mother. Do come in
This mixed up greeting was enough
TO convince Mrs. Talbot that she had
seen Amy smoking, even if she tried
TO disbelieve what she first saw upon
entering, Amy's right hand came into
view again--erpty. What happened to
that cigaret the mother never knew
perhaps one of the boys took it from
her. Somehow, too Jane had ceased to
smoke, though the ash tray remained
by her side But she swung about, and
pretended to ignore it, holding her
book as though she had no connection
with that tray at all.
Luther was across the room, taking
a sandwich from the tea-table.
LOO, dear, do get me some more
hot water" Amy said, and handed him
a pitcher, and one of the tell tale ash
trays to be taken out of sight.
Luther. well-meaning but blurdering
held out the tray.

Realizing his blunder, he hurried out

Amy introduced the two strange
men to her mother-Ted MARBLE, who
was young, fair haired and blue eyed
with a fresh color and a high thiI
nose, a splendid saxon type-only Mrs
Talbot thought him rather too hand

a laugh from the others.

Cleansing creams are made with min

If you use four ounces of olive oil,
instead of the almond oil you will have
a cream that is practically as nourish-

be sure that the olive oil is of very
good quality.
