Gerhardt and Claude Wheeler alighted from a taxi before the open gates of a square-roofed, solid-looking house, whore all the shutters on the front were closed, and the tops of many trees showed above the garden wall. They crossed a paved court and rang at the door. An old valet ad mitted the young men. and took them through a wide hall to the salon, which opened on the garden. Madame Mild mademoiselle would he down very soon. David went to one of the long windows and looked out. “They have kept if up, in spite of everything. It was always lovely here.’* 1 wo ladies entered the drawing room. The mother was short, plump, and rosy, with strong, rather mascu line features and yellowish white hair. The tears flashed into her eyes as David bent to kiss her hand, and she embraced him and touched both his cheeks with her lips. "Et vous, vous, aussi!" she mur mured. touching the coat of his uni form with her fingers. There was hut a moment of softness. She gathered herself up like an old gen eral, Claude thought, as he stood watching the group from the window, drew her daughter forward, and asked David whether he recognized the lit tle girl with whom he used to play. Mademoiselle Claire was not at all like her mother; slender, dark, dressed in a white costume d« tennis and an apple green hat with black ribbons, she looked very modern and casual and unconcerned. She was already telling David she was glad he had ar rived early, as now they would be able to have a game of tennis be fore tea. Maman would bring her knitting to the garden and watch them. This last suggestion relieved Claude's apprehension that he might be left alone with his hostess. When David called him and presented him to the ladies. Mile. Claire gave him a quick handshake, and said she would be very glad to try him out on the court as soon as she had beaten David They would find tennis shoes in their room—a collection of shoes, for the feet of all nations; her brother's some that his Russian friend had forgotten when he hurried off to be mobilized, and a pair lately left by an English officer who was quar tered on them. She and her mother would wait in the garden. She rang for the old valet. The Americans found themselves in a large room upstairs, where two mod ern Iron beds stood out conspicuous [among heavy mahogany bureaus and desks rind dressing-tables, stuffed chairs and velvet carpets and dull red brocade window hangings. David went at once Into the little dressing room and began to array himself for the tennis court. Two suits of flan nels and a row of soft shirts hung there on the wall. "Aren’t you going t<* change?" he asked, noticing that Claude stood stiff and unbending by the window, look ing down into the garden. "Why should I?" said Claude scorn fully. "I don’t play tennis. I never had a racket in my hand.” "Too bad. She used to play very well, though she was only a young ster then." Gerhardt was regarding his legs in trousers two Inches too short for him “How everything has changed, and yet how everything is still the samel It’s like coming back to places in dreams,” "They don’t give you much time to dream. I shpuld say!” Claude re ma rked. “Fortunately!” "Explain to the girl that I don't play, will you? I’ll be down later.” "As you like.” Claude stood In the window, watch ing Gerhardt's bare head and Mile. Claire's green hat and long brown arm go bounding about over the court. When Gerhardt came to change be fore tea, he found his fellow officer standing before his bag, which was open, but not unpacked. “What’s the matter? Keeling shell shock again?" po Shunt k Cfin.Barmrfroffl "Not exactly.” Claude bit his lip. "The fact is. Dave, l don't feel just comfortable here. Oh, the people are all right! But I'm out of place. 1 m going to pull out and get a billet somewhere else, and let you visit your friends in peace. Why should l he here? These people don't keep a ho tel.” "They very nearly do. from what they've been telling me. They've had a string of Scotch and English quartered on them. They like it, too— or have the good manners to pre tend they do. Of course, you'll do as you like, but you'll hurt their feelings and put me in an awkward position. To be frank, I don’t see how you can go away without being distinctly rude.” Claude stood looking down at the contents of his bag in an irresolute attitude. Catching a glimpse of his face in one of the big mirrors. Ger hardt saw that he looked perplexed and miserable. His flash of temper died, and he put his hand lightly on his friend's shoulder. “Come on. Claude! This is too ab surd. You don't even have to dress, thanks to your uniform—and you don't have to talk, since you're not supposed to know the language. 1 thought you'd like coming here. These people have had an awfully rough time; can't you admire their pluck'.’'' "Oh, yes. I do! It's awkward for me, though." Claude pulled off his coat and began to brush his hair vigorously. "I guess I've always been more afraid of the French than of the Germans. It takes courage to stay, you understand. I want to run." "But why? What makes you want to?" "Oh. I don't know! Something In the house, in the atmosphere.” "Something disagreeable?” "No. Something agreeable.” David laughed. "Oh, you'll get over that!” They had tea in the garden, Eng lish fashion—English tea. ton, Mile. Claire Informed them, left by the Eng lish officers. At dinner a third member of the family was introduced, a little boy with a cropped head and big, black eyes. He sat on Claude’s left, quiet and shy in his velvet Jacket, though he followed the conversation eagerly, especially when It touched upon his brother, Rene, killed at Verdun in the second winter of the war. The mother and sister talked about him as if he were living, about his letters and his plans, and his friends at the Con servatoire and in the army.

Today Go fight the film on teeth Watch the new beauty come Your dealer will give you a ten-day teat of a new teeth cleaning method. Go learn what it mean* to you. Millions now employ it. Dentists the world over now advise it. It is bringing to people of some SO nations whiter, cleaner, safer teeth. You will want these resulta when you know them. And you will want all your people to have them. Why teeth grow dingy—why decay The greatest enemy of teeth is film—that viscous film you feel. It clings 'to teeth, enters crevices and stays. No ordinary tooth paste effectively combats it, so old-way brushing left much film intact. Food stains, etc., discolor film. Then it forms dingy coats. Tartar is based on film. That is why teeth lose luster. Film also holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. That is why tooth troubles have been almost universal Germs breed by millions in film. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. And that is alarm ingly common. Two film combatants found Dental science has long been trying to meet this situation. Two film combatants have been found. One acts to curdle film, one to remove it, and without any harmful scouring. Able authorities proved these methods effective. Then a new-type tooth paste was created to apply them twice a day. That tooth paste is called Pepso dent. The glistening teeth you see everywhere now are due largely to its use. All the world over it Is fast bringing a new dental era. The New-Day Dentifrice A sclent fic tooth paste based on modern research, free from harmful grit. Now advised by leading den tists the world over because of its unique effects. j FREE At stores named—see coupon Multiplies two vital factors Research also proved two other things essential, and Pepsodent supplies them. It multiplies the alka linity of the saliva. That is there to neutralize mouth acids, the cause of tooth decay. It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. That is there to digest starch deposits which may otherwise ferment and form acids. Thus Pepsodent, with every use, gives manifold power to these great tooth-protecting agents in the mouth. _______ The use if Pepsodent is delightful. Its benefits are quick and apparent. They will be a revelation to you. and so clear you cannot doubt them. Present 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. Watch the other good effects. One week will bring you a new conception of what clean teeth mean. It will show you the way to prettier teeth, to better tooth protection. Go get this tube. Men who smoke Tobacco stains the film on teeth. So smokers see a conspicuous change when the film-coats are removed. Have you noted how many men show white teeth nowadays? This is one result of this war on film. Children Pepsodent Is even more important to children than adults. Their teeth are susceptible to film attacks, and very few escape them. Dentists sdvise that children use Pepsodent from the time the first tooth appears. And always before retiring. Avoid Harmful Grit Pepaodant curdlea tha film and remove* it without harmful •touring.
