WHAT'S A DEAD TOOTH BETWEEN DOCTORS AND

D. L.)
 For that matter, tho d0ntors themselves do not ell agree about the treatment of pulploss teeth. Some excellent dontors hold that destruction or removal of the pulp does not mean that the tooth is "doad" Other excellent dentorS hold that any such pulpless tooth Is . menace to health and should be removed from the jaw,
 If I went in Miss L,'s place I be- lleve I would gamble one tooth, that Is, sacrifice t. to see whether 1t would bring any relief to the condi- tons which the doctor believes are caused by focal infection, that is Q specific focus or indus somewhere, from which harmful bacteria and their harmful toxins arc carried through the blood stream to damage other tissues or organs.

Your hair will be brushed backward from your brow anl upward from the nape of your neck, If you possibly can, you'll part it in the middle and leave 1t sleek and smooth across tho top.
 Even manufacturers of cos- meticS are advocating simple make. up and soft, feminine effects in- stead of artificial looking, sophls- ticated ones. Tho now fall clothes call for pretty rather than smart grooming,
 When you discard your dark sum tan powder (don't do 1t until your skin has faded notlceahly), don't 70 back to the partly used box of face powder you Shelved early in the summer.

had been, and what a ceremony
they had made of the luxury. She
had made him smoking jacket
and bought him an inexpensive
pair of slippers-just so that he
could play the gentleman of lei

home!
A great longing for Johns arms
about her brought tears to her
eyes. The nights would be so
lonely throughout the years; the
days so empty without John.
Nothing would be worth while
really. Why, she had never even
looked at a beautiful sunset with
out calling to John to look at it
with her. And when she had been
alone there had been that wish
that he might see the crimson
and gold splash across the hori-
zon.
Helen slipped down under her
covers and buried her head in
the pillows to cry. She didn't
want to look young if John didn't
see her; she didn't want anything
but John-and the children
Suddenly the room was filled
with laughter and Helen looked
up to see the gentleman of the
day before in the doorway with
a little girl and a little boy on
his shoulder, They had been
romping with him and were muss-
ing his hair, wriggling so that
holding them up in the air was
difficult.

you," he said, boyishly. II found

little girl, climbing up on the bed

standing respectfully by the side
of the bed.
At this Helen laughed through
her tears. They were practically
irresistible!
We'll, now" said the man, pat
ting her hand affectionately,
that's more like it. You know,
when you smile you look great"
Yes" Helen said, II must look
lovely now, my hair mussed, my

You're a pretty lady. What's

the little girl, seriously, looking
at her steadily without even
blinking
"Oh, l was hurt, Helen

Would a party make you hap

have a tea party here for you?

In a few moments, with all OF

could have for the party, Helen
caught the spirit of it and decided
for them all.

Chapter 9.

THE exertion of the afternoons
fun had been too much for
Helen, so the doctor ordered her
to stay in bed for a couple of
days, without too much excite
ment.
She propped up on her pillows
in new negligee and read, slow
ly, deliberately. At times she let
herself think seriously of John.
He was not looking well! His
drawn face hurt her oddly, and
yet there was another hurt more
deep. She felt that John loved
Susan! 1t was easier to face it
here in the hospital than it had
been at home where everything
was intimate = where everything
carried her back to the old days
when she and John lived only for
each other.
The hospital, new friends, i'm
personal nurses, made her mind
function more clearly. She must
give John upl She would not be
a woman to cling to lost love.
So many women had chung to the

had died. They made of them

Yes, she would well, try to
carve a life for herself somehow.
Perhaps she could take up some
thing. Mary and Roy had been
telling her that she looked years
youngerl OF course. it was the
resting in bed that had smoothed
the lines in her face. 1t had been
years since she had just rested!
1t seemed easy for a few mo-
ments to be practical about this,
but when she began thinking how
she would do it, and wondered
what they would do about the
house, her mind turned back. She
could see each room of the house
