THIS HAS HAPPENED

Mildred Lawrence, stenographer at the Judson Hotel, has her fox fur snatched from her in a crowd, but Stephen Armitage catches the thief and returns the scarf. He asks to take her home. Not wishing to seem ungrateful. she invites him to dinner. He praises her mothers home cooking and gains favor with young Connie. who hopes that her sister will mix enough pep with her old-fashioned manner to hold his in tercst.
 The evening is spoiled when Pa mela Judson, daughter of Mildred's employer. phones her to return to duty. stephen escorts her to the ho- tel where Pamela recognizes him as the salesman who had sold her a car. She snuhs Mildred and tries to lure Stephen away from her by pre- tending she wants to buy another car from him. Then Pamela meets Huck Connor. who tells her is d broker from Chicago.
 Mildred thinks that Stephen is forgetting her since the wealthy girl is playing for his attention. Then he invites her 10 attend the theater and she accepts. not know ing that Pamela and Iiuck Connor are to be there.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
 CHAPTER VIII
 Pamela and Huck arrived at the theater after the curtain had been rung up on the first act, but that fact did not deter them from taking their seats at once.
 They had places on the aisle, Huck having reserved these two for himself when he gave the re- mdining pair 10 stephen.
 Both Mildred and Stephen were absorbed in the play. Neither paid any attention 10 the newcomers. Mildred was leaning forward in her seat, the better 10 sec around the rather large and hushy head of the man in front of her.
 This brought her features in stantly into Pamela's view when the latter took her place beside Stephen.
 Pamela settled herself quietly, but her lips turned upward in satisfied sheer that foretold trou- ble for someone.
 Huck reach d an arm at the back to help adjust her wrap, but she shrugged negatively and huggcd the ermine closer.
 stephen did not become aware of her presence there in the seat next 10 him until the lights were turned up. Even then he'd talked with Mildred for a full minute be- fore he learned of if.
 IL was a startled expression that suddenly flared over Mildred's fea- lures that brought him around to see what had caught her eye. He found himself looking into Pamcla's falsely smiling face.
 Sorry you couldn't join us." she said cooly. Better luck next time"
 Mildred heard her. Of course. but the insult was too covert to be open- ly resented. Instead she waited to hear what reply stephen would make. Woulds he let pass Pamela's implication that his date with her, Mildred, had cost him better com pany for the evening?
 Stephen failed entirely to get the double meaning behind Pamela's words. He looked past her as she spoke and recognized Huck.

 Everyone around was either looking at Pamela or whispering about her, with admonitions not to look yet. There were several reasons for this. the chief one be- ing her rich attire.

Most men know from experience the effects of fhabitual smoking. Discolored teeth. Dry mouth. Still worse-a stale tobacco breath.
 Unpleasant enough-even in man. But oh-so ruinous to a woman's charm!
 For more than thirty years veteran smokers have relied on Pebeco Tooth Paste to keep their teeth white and stainless. Mouth fresh and wholesome. Breath immaculate.
 Pebeco is different in formula and action from any other tooth paste.
 It has sharp, invigorating taste due to its special ingredients. This unique flavor explains its remarkable cleansing qualities. For it stimulates the saliva. Keeps it flowing normally hours after you brush your teeth.
 Tobacco stains and disagreeable taste are washed away. Breath is sweetened-puri- fled. Harmful mouth acids are neutralized- decay prevented.
 Pebeco polishes beautifully too. It keeps your teeth white and sparkling. Your gums firm and healthy.

TALKIES HAVE
LONDON IN
A PANIC |
DIV KINGsBURY SMITH.

LONDON, June rs H,N.s).-.
"The talkies have thrown us into
a panic over here. We imagine
they are going to knock the stage
off its feet and take everyone
away from the theater."
So says Cosmo Hamilton, the
English novelist and playwright,
in an interview concerning the
invention which has ruined the
British film industry and set Eng
fish theatrical managers agog
with excitement over what the
future holds for them.
While Hamilton believes the
talkies have started the whole
standard of films on the road to
eventual perfection, he thinks they
have at the present time done
away with two essential things
from the public's point Of view.
First lima gination, which
enabled the audience to provide
their own conversation, and sec
ond, the vast sweep Of open coun-
try and beautiful scenes which
the silent films gave.
Il think 1t is a thousand pities
that America should plunge into
the entertainment market merely
for the sake Of making quick
money, and thus begin at a lower
plane than that OF the first silent
film Hamilton declared.
However, / think the silent
film win revive and begin where
it left off.
I'm the future, 50 per cent Of
the people will like the silent
film, ! think that when that mo-
ment comes we shall find the
stage improving too-raised to
higher status by new and bet
ter plays and more accomplished
