Gloria nodded. What was Dick
driving at?
And tonight we haven't a word

We're miles apart. We're

In her mind Gloria furiously de-

Dick. But she didn't know how
to say it.

She waited for him to say that ne
was not in love with Susan Briggs
But he buried himself again in his
newspaper.
In silence they drank their coffee.
In silence they drove home.
And in a silence that shriked al
most, they settled down in the living
room to wait for bedtire to come.
Somewhere in the neighbor-
hood radio set sent forth a silver
soprano though the still night air
Somebody loves me.

Unable to sit there facing Dick
while the song went on, Gloria got
mp and went out doors In the back
yard the wind stirred the leaves of
the poplar trees along the fence. Be

The song died away wistfully in
the air. But it had confused her :.

had lost that, you might just as well
be dead.
The whole world was Loves foot

1t was a background for love.
Without it there need have been no
heart-breaking music, no white
moons, no beauty at all any
where.

as she went into the house and up
the stairs where her room waited
for her her lonely room.

Suddenly Gloria shifted the air.

She flew down to the kitchen. 1t
was filled with smoke. The sput-
tering fat in the pan had caught IN
fire. 1t was blazing.
Here's where the house goes M

ror. She lifted the red-hot pan from
the stove in her bare hands.
Then she ran out doors with it.,
and threw it down on the grass. /.
Kissed fiercely as she turned a spray
of water from the garden hose on

Gloria was 81 excited that she did
not hear Dick drive into the yard.
1t was only when she turned to go
back to the house that she saw him
watching her from the driveway.
What have you been doing
having a bonfire?" he asked.
Gloria burst into tears. She ran
over to the car to show Dick how
she had burned her hands.

Gloria hung her head. II know |

Dick studied her for a moment

Gloria put the fire out under the
vegetables on the stove, and took
the potato salad away.
She made paste of baking soda
and water to smear on her burns.
III the old days Dick would have
done it for her, without doubt. He
would have been filled with distress
andSpity and he would proba-

Now he didn't seem to care. He
was utterly Indifferent to her. And

bear because Gloria knew that she

MOUTH HYGIENE IN SCHOOL

The Public Schools the proper place to reach and teach mouth hygiene. Dr. W. O. Talbot of Fort Worth Texas said recently the convention of the American Dental Association.
 Public schools established primarily for economic mental training he said. Later devel- opmens dared to support and supplement the moral training of the child the home. In more re- cent centers of population grew. with more children to the and school door, there insufficient exercise for physical development. Then the demand for athletics supply the deficiency in exercise and assist in building stronger and healthier bodies
 Until recent years only few places have made special effort to teach mouth hygiene in the public schools, which is the proper place to reach and teach the masses The campaign for clean and healthy mouths is spreading rapidly.
 'The value of such teaching has been demon trated beyond question. Special schools and some universities training dental hygienists to do health work in public schools and the demand for such workers is greater than the supply. The dental hygienist of today may be known as the health teacher in the schools of tomorrow"
