AS Rosalind sat before her dressing
( table, putting the finishing touches to
| her appearance, she realized that a
certain measure of sanity was return
J ing to her. Her resentment toward
Allen Norris was dying, her rebellion
| against existing circumstances was
! not so fierce, and she began to dread
| the thought of seeing Nicky.
| In her imagination she could see
/ him staggering into her apartment.
! She had capitulated to the point of
| calling him up. and in Nicky's mind
! that meant surrender. His manner
} would be in accordance. He might
still want her, but his respect for her
would be even less than it had been in
! the past. Could she bear that? For
! the sake of little Gayety, could she
! tolerate Nicky's insolence?
| She began to wonder why she had
! yielded to the temptation of calling
| him up. Was it because she wanted
| to be revenged upon Allen Norris?
| But that was absurd. She would be
harming herself. not Allen who cared
| nothing for her. How childish she
had been,
| With these grave doubts in her
| mind, she began to wonder what she
| could do How could she avoid seeing
| Nicky? She knew now that she did
/ not want to see him, that she had
! made a fearful mistake in yielding to
| the temptation of calling him on the
! telephone. What was the matter with
| her anyway? Other girls didn't make
| the silly mistakes that she did; other
! girls seemed to have some common
| sense, or else they were not so rebel
| lious as she was.
Rosalind went into the living room
to look at the clock. Twenty minutes
| had passed since she had telephoned
! Nicky, and he had said that he would
call for her in half an hour. Was il
too late to call him back? Had he al
ready started?
As she stood hesitating before the
! telephone the door bell rang and her
heart sank. Nicky was here, and
there was nothing to do but let him
in. Once more she had called the
tune and would have to pay the piper
unless-unless she told Nicky the

If you you have thought of the possibility

comfort. If with downright fear. To go

And the fact that you brush your teeth regularly
has given small comfort. Most of the people you

None the less, Pyorrhea is neither mysterious nor

infection at The Danger Line-where teeth meet
gums. 1t frequently can be prevented.

Clues to Character
BY j. O. ABERNETHY.
Treacherous Ears.

1t is an age-old belief that if a man
is foxy he will bear some resemblance
to a fox, or, if he is courageous and
conscious of power, these traits will
give him a lion-like appearance. 1t
must be admitted that there is some
foundation for the belief that animal
resemblance may be traced among
men and women.
Have you ever been talked into in
vesting your savings in a bogus stock
scheme, or into lending money to an
oily tonsued individual who appealed
to your sympathy? If so, then / am
almost safe in saying that the man
who deceived you had spear tipped
ears"
Persons with this kind of ear will
resort to treachery or underha nded
dealings. and are therefore not de.
pendable: They will resort to subter.
fuge, to tricks to attain their obiec.
tives, whether in social or business
life.
Study the ears of crafty, cunning
men and women among your acquaint.
ances, the ones who are noted for
their shrewdness. and you will see
that they have spear-tipped ears, like
those of a fox.
