OF THE acqunintanccshlps which
Sangree resumed, that with Jehn

who had been the lawyer for the CIil-1 ...

the recipient of centldtnces, in which
Sangree was neither interested nor
ntnucd. Fer there was no way of
avoiding these attentions. Chichester
-eemed te t.ce in Sangree a crenture
both amiable and ane. But If Davlil
Sangree was lacking In intuitions with
regard te the feminine psychology as
Olicrry Mehun had suspected, he had. i.j
his wanderinsx. picked up a shrewd
faculty for estimating the MIue of men.
He wouldn't hae chosen Jehn Chiches
ter as a been companion.
There wasn't anything that he had
ever heard nbeut the man te provoke
his ndmiratlen, unless, perhaps, his
work en the committees In placing the
various leans during the war. for he
bore the reputation of having a geed
head for business. And there was much
n en iinniniKinnt nntui'n connected with
his name. But Sangree was as reticent
in his antipathies ns In his linings, ter
the sight of suffering had made him
kind, and he had no wish te offend n
man who se frankly offered his friend
ship. Se he listened while Chichester
talked, spent nn evening at the great
house en the park, where Mrs. Chiches
ter still presided with nn old-fashioned
elegance, the dignity of which did nel
save it from being dull.
Rut Chlrliester kent another anart-
ment further downtown, where he lived
en garcon and where dinners of much
less elegance and dignity were provided.
Sangree had discovered that, except in
se far as his Income had been nffectert
by the taxe- nnd the depreciation of
his necurltlcs. the Great War had
passed ever Jehn Chichester without
changing se much as a hair of his head
or a perception within it. He was n
man of the world in its lesser rather
than its greater sense, and, aside from
the family nnd business duties required
et hlra, which he nssumed with some I
punctilio, he had dedicated his life te
the pursuit of pleasure. I
But, as he admitted te Sangree with
much concern, he was new crewing
elder. His stomach wnsn't what it useJ
te be. The sentimental adventure jaded
him. His mother wanted him te marry.
Sangree listened In surprise te the
confession, the frankness of which he
was sure had been stimulated by an ex
cellent dinner ("Three stars, Flappers
Blue Boek"), which had preceded a
dance that Chichester had declined.
"She says I've get te have children,"
he confided. "Old name and all that
sort of thing. Terrible responsibility
old name and money. Have te be en
your guard all the time against schem
ing mothers and ambitious daughters.
Damned nuisance, matchmakers."
Ha! Ha! Girls of another sort bad
been mere In his line. Nothing expected
f a chap except money. That was
easyt But marriage 1
"Yeu knew. Banrret," he want en
in a lowered tone. "I like you. Sensi
ble aert of chap. If your father was
allTa I'd probably talk te him. You're
the hereditary confidant of the Chlchei
n. Yeu don't mind, de you?"
Sangree shrugged. "My opinion an
worthless."
"Yeu don't mind listening T"
"Ne."
"Well, you knew. I hare been going i
ft rather strong. Women I
are just one damned opportunity after
another. Pretty things! I
never could resist 'em. They weren't I
made te be resisted. But,
then, I've come te the end of my rope.
I've get te step philandering about and
settle down. I really want te, you
knew. And I'm net such n
bad sort. I'd go straight in double
harness, I think. But, damn
It all ! Sangree, a man defies the Fates
when he thinks of marrying nowadays
that Is, if he thinks of marrying In
tnt younger crowd and knew I'm net
the clad te be satisfied with a spinster
aunt.
"I like 'em when they'n young and
I like 'em when they'n Irresponsible,
hut I can't let the mater in for a
my sort. I'm hardened, But they must
rather shock a chap like you."
Sangrce lighted his cigarette de
liberately before he replied.
"It takes n geed many kinds of
people te make up n world," he said
with a slew Bmilc. "Your, llttle world
is merely a reflection of the larger one.
There must be bad little angels even in
heaven, and I'm sure that there arc
geed llttle devils in the ether place."
"Oh, I don't say most of 'cm aren't
straight. But de you knew the stories
they tell about the Meriwether girl?"
"Ne, and 1 don't think I care te
lienr " Mil 111 Snnaree.
"But you de knew that the little
Evcrnrd kid gets 'stewed' nt every
party"
"Ah "
"And that the Towne girl thinks no
mere of kissing u boy than lie does
of "
"He.nllv Chichester. I'd rather keep I
rav illusions if you don't mind."
'"Illusions!" muttered the elder man,
with n shrug. "I didn't knew any man
could have illusions newndnjs." . ,.
"Well, I have," he said cheerfully.
"I prefer te think et these little ac
quaintances of yours und mine ns chil
dren who should be spanked nnd put
te bed. Beside, I don't like mentioning
names. If you don't mind "
Sangree mnde n motion ns though te

arm. .

ntirascs he had once used te Geerge
Lycctt, but with what a different inter

Jehn Chichester's voice breaking en his
retrospection with a note of livelier
optimism,
"Itlghtel Old chap. Glad te hear,
you say that. That's what I ve been
wanting te hear. That's what I de
think, by Jove. But they can se

harm In 'em, though what? Just
spoiled driving en a loose male. A
little of the curb nnd they'll come down

"That might depend en who did the
curbing,' said Sangree.
"Klght you are. Oh, there's a way
te manage 'cm. Responsibility. Posi
tion. Dignity te live up te."
He laid an impressive hand en his
companion's knee. "See here, San
gree. I might ns well tell you. It's
no secret. The girl I'm going te
marry is Cherry Mehun."
Sangree couldn't restrain a start of
incredulity. The information was sur
prising enough In the light of what he.
knew of Cherry nnd the opinions which
she hud recently expressed- ns te the
attentions of Mr. Jehn Chichester, who
was, as he conceived, the very last per
son Hint the girl could be thinking of.
The leek of nstenishment in his face
faded into n grin os he slowly relaxed
en tne lentncr invnn.

Chichester.".

spoke in n serious, tone, "besides you

Svery month, this new teeth-cleanfag

Se everywhere. Careful people of some
fifty nations use this method new. 'And
dentists the world ever are advising its
adoption.
If you don't knew what this new way
means, send for this test and sea.
Try combating film
Dingy teeth and most teeth troubles
are due te film. Te that viscous ilm you
feel. It clings te teeth, gets between the
teeth and stays.
Feed stains, etc, discolor It, then It
forms cloudy coats. Tartar is based en
film. That is why beautiful teeth are seen

They, with tartar, are the chief cause of
pyorrhea.
These troubles have been constantly
increasing. Very few people escaped. All
because no ordinary teeth paste can ef
fectively fight film,
New you can combat It
Dental science has new found effective
ways te fight film. One acts te curdle it,
one te remove It, without harmful scouring.
After many careful tests, authorities
approved these methods. New leading
dentists the world ever are advising their
daily use.
A new-type teeth pasta has been tre

They reduce the starch dlgestant In the
saliva. That is there te digest starch de

They reduce the alkalinity et the aalva.
That is there te neutralise mouth acids
which cause teeth decay.
Pepsedent corrects these errors. It
multiplies the starch dlgestant, multiplies
the alkalinity. Every use gives manifold
power te Nature's great teeth-protecting
forces In the mouth.
Zt also polishes the teeth se film less
