SYNOPSIS
Ellen Church, 17 year old, finds
herself alone in the world with her
artist mother's last warning ringing
in her ears, to "love lightly." Of the
world She knew little. All her life
She had lived alone with her mother
in an old brown house in a small rur-
al community: All her life, first as a
new baby, then a bubbling child, then
a charming young girl . . she had
posed for her talented mother who
sold her magizine coyer painting
through an art agent in the city , .
Mrs. Church's broken life . the
unfaithful husband, his disappearance
. and after seventeen years of sil-
ence announcement of his death was
at last disclosed to Ellen. The news
of the husband's death killed Mrs.
Church, .. , Ellen, alone, turned to
the only contact she knew, the art
agent in New York. Posing, years of
posing, was her only talent so she
was introduced to two leading ar-
first time, flinched under it, even
though site had precipitated it.
"If he loved me," she said to her-
self, "he couldn't go, It wouldn't be
possible for him to leave me. T was
right—if he could go, tonight, to see
another woman, why then—"'
Poor little Ellen. She was right
about herself! She was a fool. Being
one, she said --
"I'm sure Jane understands you.
By all means go to see" her."
Tony was reaching for his hat.
"I suppose," he said, "that as soon
as I'm gone, you'll phone for Alven.
I have no doubt that he understands
you as well as Jane understands me."
Ellen was blinking to keep back the
tears.
"Dick always leaves his receiver
off, in the evening," she said. "He
like to work at night—he doesn't like
interruptions. I couldn't reach him
by phone," she finished. "That ought

vancing. But she had crossed, for the
moment at least, her Rubicon.
"Yes, I would mind," she said,
"Just as 'trach as' you'd mind if you
knew that I were going to stay here,
with Dick!"
She was back against the wall, now,
nut her eyes: were lost in Tony's
gaze. They were. bluer than ever,,
Tony's eyes. Perhaps because they
were wet,
"Darling," . said Tony huskily, "you
de love me!"
Ellen tried to deny it. To say i -hat
she didn't love him. She tried to, but
the words stuck in her throat. With.
her eyes lost in his gaze, with the
lovely color staining her childish
throat, she nodded; Mately, but ve-
hemently.
She was held tightly in Tony's
arms ---so tightly that it hurt, that it
left her .breathless. Or was it the
pounding of her heart that made
breathing so difficult?
"Darling," Tony was saying, and
his voice seemed to conte from ever
so far away, "I love you. You're my
wife."
Automatically Ellen felt of her
wedding ring with the thumb of her
left hand.
"You're my wife!" Tony was say-
ing. But she couldn't answer now,
not the way the walls of the room
were closing in, not the way the lights
were dancing.
And then the lights had ceased to
dance. For Tony's hand, feeling
along the wall, had found the electric
switch, and the world was all dark -
All .at once lie was out of his chair,
was on Ellen's side of the improvised
breakfast table, was on the arni of
her chair,
"I didn't know," he said, "that be-
ing married was so—so swell. 1 didn't
know that love could be like this!"
His head ducked down, was snag-
gled into the curve of Ellen throat,
He was kissing the place where a
pulse throbbed crazily.
"Don't Tony," she said, almost
sharply, "Please don't, That's aver,"
Tony's arm tightened. His voice
came in a muffled fashion, because his
lips were against her throat.
"You mean that kissing's oven?" he
questioned, "the first day after .we're
marrieds,.
Ellen tried to make' the tone of her
voice seem hard. It was time to make
herself clear, at last. Her whole life
night depend upon the stand she took
—her every chance at happiness! She
should love lightly,
"I told you," she said, "night be-
fore last when we met at the dance,
that marriage—to me was' just mar-
riage! That I wasn't in love with you,
not in the way you mean."
"How?" Tony questioned, "how
about last night?"
"Last night," answered Ellen, "was
hysteria. It wasn't love."
Slowly Tony was rising from the
arm of Ellen's chair. He walked the
length of Ellen's print little room -
and stood looking down, from her
window, to the crowded street below
"I guess you're right," he said,
"about there being no honeymoon, for
us. 1 guess you're right about the
whole thing. Only. I'll go a trifle far-
ther than you've gone: Seems to me

Ellen's .hand, flung out, knocked
over a coffee cup. She hadn't expect-
ed Tony to go a step further than she
had gone.
Tony continued in a dull monotone.
"I'll go back to live at the club

HALITOSIS
The purpose of advertising is to
make the public aware or conscious
of something. In the advertising g of
remedies, attention is given to creat -
ng a consciousness of need for the
particular remedy to over come an
.lines+ or some undesirable condition.
That such advertising is effective is
shown in the number of peopte who
'.lave become what the advertisers
;could call "breath -conscious."
h or halitosis, is un-
pleasant whether or not your best
riend mentions it. According to the
advertisements, friends and family are
much more reticent about referring
to personal failings than experience
would seem to prove. However, a
bad breath is very often an offence,
and because it does not come from
the normal healthy body, attention
should be brought to its correction
for the comfort and the benefit of the
owner.
The most common cause is a dirty
mouth. There arealways Keane in
the mouth which are ready •to seize
upon the smallest particles of food
left between the ;teeth, and the result
is fermentation anl. Putrefaction, a
little bit of which goes a long way in
fouling the breath. Despite all that
is'said, there is no mouth wash which
sterilizes the mouth. The practical
way is to have the teeth healthy, be-
cause there is an odour to decaying
teeth as there is also to the tartar
which collects around the teeth, 'Vcthen
the teeth have been naaile healthy,
thy should be kept clean by regular
brushing after each meal.
Odours do not rise from the &.tom-
ach unless air is brought up from the
stomach. When belching occurs,
there should not be any disagreeable
odour if the stomach is healthy. Some
foods contain volatile oils; these are
absorbed after digestion and, ` when
carried by the blood stream to the
lungs,gs, they are ssnelt on the breath.
This is what happens when you eat
onions or drink alcohol.
There are parts in and around the
mouth and 'nose which may become
diseased and so taint the breath. Ton-
sils with their crypts may contain of-
fensive material, and head sinuses be-
come disagreeable on account of in-
fections. When elimination is delayed
it usually means putrefaction in the
lower bowel, with absorption of ma-
terial, which gives rise to .an unpleas-
ant breath.
It appears that most cases of of-
fensive breath would be prevented by
keeping the mouth and adjacent parts
clean and healthy, and by securing
satisfactory elimination.

Unusual Whiskers
While the delicate white filaments
which grow on the outside • of egg-
shells : in storage are known as whis-
kers, because as yet they have not
been named scientifically, they do not
penetrate into the interior of the egg.
They reach their growth after four or
five months in storageand then be-
gin to disappear. Whiskers are not
a astound and are in no way detrimen-
tal to the egg, according to a receftt
article in the Cold Storage Newslet-
ter issued by the Dominion Deptar-
rnent of Agriculture. Tai fact, other
things being equal, the finest eggs.'
show the heaviest growth of whisk-
ers. At times only an expert could:
recognize the whiskers from dust. In,
the early stages they are as elusive
as the first down on the unshaven:
chin of youth. Later, they reach a.
length of about three --eighths of an
inch before they shrivel up and dis-
appear. In reality, the appearance of
whiskers, their development, and their -
disappearance, which in all occupies
nearly three months, are valuable in-
dices of conditions in the storage.
room. Whiskers seem to prefer a re-
lative humidity which is sufficiently -
high to minimize the shrink in the
eggsubstance. e They will grow in :air
that has a sufficient velocity to dis-
courage ordinary moulds, but they
do not like blast of air. They will
not grow in dead air which encour-,
ages , the growth of common moulds.
A temperature of 30 degrees • suits
eggs' whiskers,` and they prefer new -
clean packages, free from the accumu-
lation of dirt and dust carried by sec-
ond-hand packagers.
