Motion Picture Classic (Jan-Dec 1920)

I CLASSIC eves of the Deans. When he returned liome from college, tall, slimly built and handsome in a dark, grave, eager fashion, Mr. Dean himself unbent far enough to call upon him and publicly invite him to his home. The Dean boys, noisy young blades of his years, greeted him with the careless democracy of youth, and Margaret, grown straight and slim as a candle with a flame of gold above her vivid, flashing face, danced and rode with him as she danced and rode with the young Olivers and Carters and Blackburns, and the dandified youths from Richmond who came to visit at her father's house. "She's good to me because she just cant help being good to everybody," Chad said, quietly, to the major. "I hope I'm not quite such a cad as to take any hopes from that, sir." "Pooh !" snorted the major, grandly, bristling, as he always did, like an old turkey cock when anything concerning Chad's desirability came in question. "Pooh ! Dont be so damn humble ! I hate humble men. Believe in yourself! If you do that you're fit to marry a princess of the blood ! Pooh ! The girl's no fool ! Dont treat her like one." But Chad shook his dark head gravely and turned the subject. He was put to it these days to keep Margaret Dean's dazzling face, the light, crisp rustle of her garments, the scent of her, diffused by every movement, the need of her out of his thoughts, as a man of honor should, who had nothing to offer her but a borrowed name. Youth was hot in him, aching, tormenting, giving him no peace. He grew a bit thin, more than a bit white and worn with the struggle those days, and the old major was anxious. "By gad ! There's spirit for you ! Eating his damfool heart out for that girl and she'd fall into his arms if he asked her! But he wont ask, confound his devilish pride — he'll die before he asks her ! Still something must be done — cant have the boy wasting to a shadder before my face and eyes." So the major, muttering, puffing with the pride that was in him. What it was that must be done he did not say, and, in fact, could not guess. Certainly nothing was further from his thoughts than what did happen. One day in early autumn, Chad Buford strode into the house, with thunderous face, and flung his ridingcrop upon the table. His voice when he spoke to his guardian was high and shaking like that of a man at the breaking point of nerves. "I'm going away, sir — to China — Egypt — Bombay — anywhere so long as it's far enough !" he cried, and rested his forehead on his arms, folded upon the mantel. "I've got to go — if it isn't already too late " "And by that, Chad?" asked the major, very softly. "By that you mean " "I mean," said Chad, in a stifled voice, "if I haven't already made her love me — mc — a beggar from Nowhere ! But it all happened so quickly." He groaned and shook from head to foot. "Her horse (Seventy-three) A Woman's Smile Should Reveal Glossy Teeth All Statements JipproVed by High Denial Auihoriiies /.. It is Film That Clouds Them That slimy film which you feel on your teeth is the cause of most tooth troubles. It clings to the teeth, enters crevices and stays. The tooth brush does not end it. The ordinary tooth paste does not dissolve it. So it continues to mar the beauty and to wreck the teeth. That film is what discolors — not the teeth. It is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. That film is the teeth's great enemy. So dental science has for years sought a way to end it. Now an efficient film combatant has been found. It has been proved by careful tests. And now leading dentists all over America are urging its daily use. Supplied to All Who Ask For home use this method is embodied in a dentifrice called Pepsodent. And to show its effects a 10-Day Tube is sent to anyone who asks. This is to urge that you get it. Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant of albumin. The film is albuminous matter. The object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then to day by day combat it. This method long seemed impossible. Pepsin must be activated, and the usual agent is an acid harmful to the teeth. But science has discovered a harmless activating method. And now active pepsin can be daily used to combat this viscous film. Able authorities have made convincing clinical and laboratory tests. Now everyone is asked to make a home test and see what Pepsodent does. Compare the results with the methods you are using. See the change in ten days. Then decide for yourself if this new method is best for you and yours. Cut out the coupon now.
