we could have had a wonderful life togedier."
SHE had made herself go to Jim's wedding! "What will people say . . . what will they think . . . if I don't go?" she had asked herself grimly. So . . . she had gone. She had struggled to keep the tears back. She had watched the man she loved slip the ring on another girl's finger. She had forced herself to say the conventional things that were expected of her . . . "What a lovely bride! What a lucky man! What a beautiful wedding!" At least no one could point her out as the disappointed, heartbroken girl who had expected to be Jim's bride, herself.
But now the ordeal was over. Now she was home again, alone, with nothing to do except to read . . . and destroy . . . Jim's letters. Ah, here was the first letter he'd ever written her . . . after that wonderful day in the country! And here was another . . . after the dance. And other letters from far away Rio . . . warm and tender, full of his plans and hopes for the future . . . full of hints that maybe someday. . . ? One by one, she went through them, trying vainly to find some reason that would explain his later change in attitude.
The day he stepped off the plane from Rio, he had been so ardent, so glad to see her. But only a few short hours later he seemed to have changed . . . unbelievably. There was a strange
indifference about him . . . his tenderness became merely formal courtesy . , . and at each meeting after that, the gulf seemed to widen, finally becoming an abyss. What had happened to change his feeling for her? She didn't know . . . and she never would know.
Slowly she put the letters into the fire, sadly watching them turn to ashes.
"Good-bye, Jim," she whispered. "We could have had a wonderful life together!"
You can understand why a case of halitosis (bad breath) can cause a rift in a promising romance. And halitosis, unfortunately, can happen to anyone . . . even to you. So be extra careful about offending this way. And by being extra careful we mean rinsing the mouth with Listerine Antiseptic night and morning, and before every date when you want to be at your best.
Although sometimes systemic in origin, most cases of halitosis, according to some authorities, are caused by fermentation of food particles in the mouth. Listeripe Ant septic halts such fermentation, and overcomes the odor it causes. So many fastidious people never, never omit Listerine Antiseptic. Lambert Pharmacal Co., St. Louis, Missouri.
