Chapter XIX.
While seeming to co-operate enthusi-
astically in the physician’s order that
Nora's mind should be given opportunity
for relaxation from the mental strain
caused by constant dwelling ou the pos-
sibility of her busband's survival Ro-
salie had planted deeper the thorny
growths of torturing doubt. To these she
had added the rankling weed of self-re-
proach for possible disloyalty for spir-
itual unfaithfulness.
She had nipped in the bud any possi-
bility of Nora accepting admiring atten-
tions from Newton Findlay or of re-
turning his growing interest in the nat-
ural fashion that such interest grows.
Now Nora would be distressed self-
reproachful indifferent —as the strength
of her real loyalty would permit.
Nor was there any danger that this
sense of obligation to the one passed ou
would be permitted to grow less—not
unless Rosalie's keen cold wits forgot
their cunning.
Perhaps it is already too late to res-
cue Rosalie from the part of melodra-
matic lady villian into which she has
seemingly been swept by the current of
events above narrated.
It’s only fair to try for really she
was nothing of the kind—at least not
consciously. She was or thought she
was what she had formerly really been
Nora’s best friend —oue who would not
harm her who only wished well. Of
course this made her doubly dangerous.
Against conspicuous not to say blat-
ant villiany. average intelligence and a
common school education is usually
quite adequate defense.
A sense of humor also is sword and
buckler against those who glove in their
hate
But how may one suspect the enemy
one knows to be a friend? The kindly
pot on the back —neither girl was dem-
onstrative—the clear unshadowed
friendship in Rosalie's eyes the little
kindly ministrations these were not
simulated. Had they been so. rest as
tured Nora would have known it.
Rosalie had liked Nora from the be-
ginning and did so still. Reserved and
self reliant she admired these dualities I
in her companion. She respected Nora's
sanity her unwillingness to accent with-
out full proof assurance of things not
in accordance with law and nature as
she knew them. As compared with the
Isullible hysteric type with which the
■Pung leader of a cult came so frequent-

Rosalie’s keen penetration detected
Nora's real sageruess for the tixith—its
vital import because of Roger
No fear but that Nora could be kept
altogether faithful.
“And she should be.’’ Here at last
is Rosalie's justification for her own
intention to play the part of My Lady
Destiny.
“They loved each other and gave them-
selves each to the other. How can Nora
know that Roger does not claim her?
Sho urged him to the chance he took.
“That he would have taken it in any
ease does not lessen her responsibility.
Nora has life at least. Her good faith
is not too much to leave with Roger for-
bidden by fate to taste the cup of love
when it was lifted to his very lips.”
Cold bard and stern as her doctrine
stood it is possible that Rosalie would
have applied it to herself. At least
she quite believed she would. She was
right she thought in demanding as much
from Nora.

Just Between Oarselves.
By Della E. Stewart.
We can measure life by the inch or
the infinite. It is for us to choose. We
think that if we arc only able to become
wise io book knowledge it will help us
ta live wisely. But it won't—unless wo
again choose. Life is jubt a matter of
choices. That is what makes it so won-
derful—or so restricted.
If we do not want our horizon of in-
terests to reach beyond the limits of our
own epidermis or our own front gate
it will not. If we/want it to embrace
the universe it may. There may be
definite limit to the time at our com-
mand. to the strength with which we
are endowed but there need be no limit
to our thoughts other than that which
we ourselves impose through negligence
thoughtlessness or ignorance.
One reason that so many of us never
reach that which we might have reached
is that we drift along with no settled
plan for living. We take it for granted
that we are put where we are to stay—-
that there is no use trying to get out
of our particular rut. In fact so lazy
are we that wc have no particular stir-
ring witbin us to accomplish more to
make our lives more than walled-in
lanes of thought and endeavor. “What's
the use? I'm well enough off.” “Why
should I bother with thought and en-
deavor? I have enough to cat and wear
and a certain circle of friends and
more or less good times. What's the
use?”
Well there k i't any use—if one feels
like that. A COW or a sheep could hav<
like enjoyment and. if we are content to
stay in that class why strive? But
life can b<’ glorious—a vista of splendid
opportunity and achievement. Its for
us to choose.

A Fashion Hint
Superintending the wardrobe of a
child up to six years is a perpetual de-
light. After that a few “awkward
years” usually intervene during which
Bloomer ami Smock Frock for a Little
Girl.
absolutely no dross selected for the
* young female of the species makes her
look anything but “leggy” and angular.
Then comes the young debutuute ago
bringing with it delight again in the
planning and preparation of clpthcs.
Radical style changes or arbitrary
style rules never enter into the clothes
scheme of the girl up to six years and
if sho is not clothed attractively. artis-
tically and at the same time economi-
cally—regardless of old H. ('. L.—it is
because the particular grown-up who
has charge of the selection of clothes for
this particular juvenile is the wrong
person for the job.
Among the frocks now being shown
for th* fall and winter wardrobe of
the little girl none are smarter simpler
nor more wholly delightful than the
blouse or smock and bloomer combina-
tions made of wool or silk fabric. The
sketch illustrates an especially charm-
ing little outfit of this type made of
fine navy serge with bloomer cuffs.
There are also collars cuffs and pockets
ou the smock of pale tan-colored duve-
tyn embroidered in a darning stitch in
navy wool.
The statement has been made many
hundreds of times and it is worth in-
numerable repetition that simplicity is
by all odds the safest guide in the de-
signing of clothes fop little children. A
frock similar to the one shown is
smart and serviceable it obviates the
need of petticoats and thus economizes
laundry and it is so simple that any I
woman might cut it without even the
aid of a pattern. The bloomers are fin-
ished with a band and buttonholes so
that they may be snugly attached to an
underbodice.
Another dre<s of this type displayed
by the same designer is made of navy
taffeta. Collar cuffs pockets and knee
band' are embroidered in wool floss and
an additional touch of elaboration is a
little panel embroidered nu either aide (
of the middy or smock running from
the hem to a height of six or seven
inches. Another of the taffeta bloomer
and smock outfits is trimmed with nat-
ural color pungee the hands of the pon-

embroidery in contrasting colors.
A charming and serviceable coat re-
cently seen for a two to six-year-old
was made of tan-colored polo cloth uu-
j trimmed except for a very narrow line
of embroidery in colored wool about all
the edges. and equipped with a detach-

Smokers’ teeth discolor more than others
usually. But the stains lie in a film and re-
fleoving that film removes them.
There is now a way to combat this film.
Millions of people employ it. Leading den-
tists everywhere advise it. See how teeth
whiten when you use it a few days.
Film ruins teeth
That film on teeth which makes them dingy
causes most tooth troubles. It is viscous—-
you can feei it. It clings to teeth enters
crevices and stays.
The cld ways of brushing did not end it so
millions found that well-brushed teeth dis-
colored and decayed.
It is the film-coat that discolors not the
teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. It holds
food substance which ferments and forms
■cid. It holds the acid in contact with the
teeth to ciuse decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They with
tartar are the chief cause of pyorrhea. Very
few people have escaped these troubles caused

Now we combat it
Now dental science has evolved ways to
combat film day by day. Able authorities
have amply proved their efficiency.
These methods are combined in a dentifrice
called Pepsodent. Millions have adopted it.
largely through dental advice. It opens we
believe a new dental era. And to let all
know it a 10-Day Tube is being sent to
everyone who asks.
See and feel it act
Pepsodent brings five desired effects. Some are
instant all are quick. A very short test will prove
a revelation.
One ingredient is pepsin. Another multiplies the
starch digestant in the saliva to digest starch de-
posits that cling. It also multiplies th* alkalinity of
the saliva to neutralize the acids wbkh cause tooth
decay.
Two factors directly attack the film. One of them
keeps the teeth so highly polished that film cannot
easily adhere. With every application it combats
the teeth's great enemies as nothing else has done.
Send the coupon for a 10-Day Tube. Note how
clean the teeth feel after using. Mark the absence
of the viscous film. See how teeth whiten as the
film-coats disappear. Let this test show you for
