Kitty" Charlie went on, in chokil
 with you I've told you that befo f me, then. Whats come over you, '- some one changed your mind
 about our future?"
 Kitty hestitated a moment She
 was wondering whether it was true l. and she had not realized it her q self. Then, braving what she > hoped might be friendly termina- tioh of the affair which once en-
 tirely filled her dreams, Kitty
 picked up his hand and held it tenderly to her lips for moment. ,,s You're a wonderful boy, Char lie. I've always thought that. But , I've been wondering if we'd really
 be happy if we married. We seem 80 different, somehow. You don't understand that women to-day re- - fuse to be tied down to the tyran- ical dictates of husband. Women
 who have worked naturally have 'T their own business friends. I like < MT. Preston. Yet you object to my being in his company because he is man. How silly that view
 seems" 0
 - Would you care to have me
 chasing about with a girl who A worked for mel" he asked quickly.
 eff you liked her, yes. Per ' haps she would be mental stimu- -, lant. Perhaps she'd be interested in your work. There may be any
 number of reasons why you'd en-
 joy her company. And yet you'd never think of marrying that girl.
 Isn't it so?"
 He looked down at her with = puzzled expression and wondered where Kitty had digested these ideas which were so strange to his
 code.
 "Then, tell me-" he begged. ''Is
 that the way you feel about Prns
 ton? Is he just a business friend,
 like those you've referred to?" Kitty floundered for a reply. N She seemed unable to find the true : answer, even in her own heart. .,r "Well, of course, we are only friends" she stammered. "Mr. ., Preston's married. I'd scarcely be : thinking of him in the light of ... marriage, would I?" Her voice - was gentle and soothing as she ;. spoke. Yet her calmness irritated 2 the boy who had claimed her love. "You may" he replied, Eff you
 fall in love with him." Don't be silly. You've simply
 got to change your narrow views if I'm to be your wife. I wouldn't bear being censored about my -.. friends. But I must be going up
 stairs. Nom will be wondering s where on earth I've been. I'll see
 you again before the week is over,
 won't I?"
 "I'd been planning to ask you to the club tomorrow evening. You , seemed so busy I've scarcely had o- time to ask if you'd go." Kitty looked at him and a wave
 of pity surged within her. She
 was amazed at her own change of
 attitude toward the boy who had - with whom, only few short 5 months previously, she had planned '- a future of happiness together. --. 'I-I'm terribly sorry, Charlie.
 But I've made another engage .. .ment."
 "With whom?" he demanded, x abruptly.
 "I'm going to a studio party -o where we are to play Ma Jong. 7 I've never been to one and Pm a quite thrilled at the prospect" .'. Are you going with Preston?" he asked.
 "Preston will be there, I be-
 lieve," she tried to explain kindly.

MRS. WILSON:

D have set of reed furniture which is beginning to appear worn. I would like to have some further use from it for my Summer living room. Could you suggest way of renewing it? MRS. J. H.
 To renew reed furniture to It's fresh, natural appearance is an involved proc ess It requires bleaching with acids which only the expert should under take. My advice Is that you paint it black with a good quality of enamel paint, then make seats of gray cre- tonne which will harmonize with the other hangings in your room.

 stepping out of my territory when discuss the horror of decayed teeth. If the phrase "decayed it to. I know it isn't a del- icate term, but too many people let their teeth go because some one doesn't shock them into real ,izing the necessity of NOT let ting them go. A tooth which has a cavity in it is suffering from de- cay, the same as fresh food that is. not put on ice. If you had a sore finger that. had festered, you wouldn't think of putting it in your mouth. Having Q decayed tooth in your mouth is scarcely worse. Which is not a very pleas ant thought, but one which is true, nevertheless.
 And now for suggestion about filings. Your dentist will guide you aright when it comes to the best kind of filling for your par ticular cavity. But if you have cavity in a front tooth, and if it is at all practical from a stability standpoint, have that cavity filled with a porcelain inlay or with a porcelain composition filling. The objection to gold and silver fill ings in. front teeth is purely from the point of appearance. Metal filings are more noticeable. It also 50 happens that the light often look black, giving the appearance of cavity. That is a terrible thing to have happen, after one has suffered tortures to have it filled.
