interview that afternoon over the
telephone. and being disengaged, |
had suggested a little dinner at my

the place packed and the best tables
full. Sooner than wait, we had gone

last six school years show registra-
ton of from 400 to 1900 more boys

that period, yet figures for the same
years of graduating classes give the
girls majority of more than 500 in

She thought him rude
for staring at her but
he had a reason.

IF abe could have read his mind she would
have known why. At first glance, the girl
opposite him in the train appeared exceed
ingly neat and well-groomed.
But the moment she opened her lips to
speak, he noticed that her teeth were dull,
cloudy and untidy looking. 1t was like seeing
a well-dressed man wearing soiled collar.
So many otherwise fastidious men and
women forget that their teeth are probably
the one most noticeable index Of real gentil-
ity. Every word you utter fixes someone's
eye upon your lips. And your teeth often
have more to tell about you than what you
actually say.
Only the right dentifrice M consistently
used-will protect you against such criticism.
Listerine Tooth Paste cleans teeth new
way. The first tube you buy (as cents) or
the free sample (see coupon) will prove this
to you.
You will notice the Improvement even
in the first few days. And, moreover,
just as Listerine is the safe antiseptic, so
Listerine Tooth Paste is the safe dentrifrice.
It cleans, yet it cannot injure the enamel.
What are your teeth saying about you
today?
