THE Mabry children live in a
\ House of Gloom. Mrs. Mabry
is the gloomiest person in her
State. She goes around with a
face so sad and voice so devoid
Of hope that It affects everybody
who comes near her. Truth to
tell, she has a lot Of things to
worry her-but then so have other
people. Quite often her husband
comes home in the evening with
a smile upon his face. Perhaps
he has just left a friend who sent
him on his way with a laugh or a
feeling of goodwill. But q glance
at his wife's desolate attitude
sobers his spirits.
The children come trooping IN.
happy and hungry and glad to see
the comforts of home. But in a
very few minutes the air Of gloom
has settled upon them and they
are looking as doleful as though
they had lost their last hope.
Mr.. Mabry works hard every
day and devotes his earnings to
his family. Mrs. Mabry also works
hard every day; and nobody has a
cleaner bouse nor better made
clothes, nor better cooked meals

In ORDER to settle any V
question as to what con.
stitutes the real danger to teeth
and gums, and also what is the
best means Of protection, E. r.
Squibb & Sons caused an in
vestigation to be made through
out the entire dental profes.

dentists of this country.
These men gave answers
which express the opinion of
the dental profession-the
only real authority obtainable.
They say that:

Of tooth decay and irTitated gums.

Ames glanced at the man serv-

a slightly patronizlng nod.

pointing to a further paragraph
that described ''Mr. Masterton's
Country Seat" Mastertpn had
purchased this place. as 1t stood.
before leaving on his cruise tive
weeks ago.
Sadie had put the deal through
for him with the agents, very
efficiently. Since his return,
Robert had spent three days
there. It had rather puzzled
Sadie. who could not see what he
wanted with it.
The paragraph which described
Pinecrest, its recent sale, and the
affairs OF its new master, was
snappily written, and gave more
information about Masterton than
he liked. He frowned as he read
It.
"Well, / had to have it, need

II guess you can trust that

Sadie thoughtfully. "Are you

Masterton glanced at her, and
after q moments thought, pressed
the bell. Talbot appeared prompt
~, and stood waiting: the perfect
1aan-servant. Sometimes when
they were alone Talbot was apt
to be respectfully intimate. even
apparently affectionate with his
master: perhaps undesirably so,
though Masterton never snubbed
him. IL company was present
however, particularly Miss Hicks.
Talbot was wonderfully correct:
his dark sardonic face seemed de-
void OF all human emotion.

Warm olive oil massage Is
beneficial alike to oily, and dry

Premature grayness is often due
to the fact that the hair has been
allowed to become very dry and
remain so for a considerable
period, so that is imperative to
arrest this unnatural dryness in
order to preserve or restore its
natural color.

an artificial dryer or dry it in

best. But If you cannot obtain
