Her simple little standards had slipped all awry. And when he took her in his arms again she, in a spirit of queer unreality, met his kiss. "Now," said he, "smile at me!" And pinched her cheek. She, still trembling, actually smiled. He took her himself to her dressing room, a miniature bungalow out in the golden sunlight, one of a pretty row; gave her the key for her very own. Her beggar costume hung there already. And on the dresser lay those books of his. She had to hide them from Emily as best she could by standing in front of them and then hurrying her out and locking the door. She decided to put them in a drawer of the dresser. 13 ALICE'S house hunting didn't turn out successfully. Rentals proved appallingly high. The pretty little white bungalows could be had at two hundred to four hundred dollars a month. They couldn't pay that. And they couldn't stay on in the hotel. Already Hattie had had to ask De Brissac for an advance against salary. And at last, a gloomy family, they moved into a cramped little apartment over a grocery on one of the avenues that cross the Boulevard. There was no private bathroom for Gran'ma and there were stairs to climb. Hattie went to and from the studio on the street cars that passed the door. It came out that Alice had assumed an automobile almost as a matter t of course. But there was to be no automobile. Disillusionment was now complete. Even at the studio; particularly there. For the studio proved to be a great factory, in which De Brissac and his assistants fought against time and against a terrific overhead charge for the use of space and light and material and the time of the mechanical staff; in which swarms of preoccupied men and women went to work, at nine in the morning and kept at it, at times, until far into the night; in which all of life was routinized and systematized until it seemed hardly worth going on with. In time, as the first forlorn feeling gave place to one of familiarity with her environment, Hattie found it not even exciting. Her stolen moments with De Brissac and his shrewdly restrained caresses were all that broke the monotony. Day after day she found herself looking forward to those moments. But the sense of furtiveness deepened. For the lot was a vastly more respectable place than would have seemed possible to the girls in the mailing room. Men with comfortable homes and pleasant families came daily to work as in a treadmill of business. Most of them were kind to her in their casual meetings. And De Brissac proved a dynamo, as Henry O'Malley had said. Hattie had never seen anyone work so hard, so patiently, so — the word came — conscientiously. His many-sidedness, his leadership, his power, his curiously casual affection for herself bewildered and in time piqued her. There were moments, after his caresses had become a matter of course, when she found it confusingly difficult to understand how he could turn so coolly away and plunge again into his work. But his atmosphere enveloped her. It was becoming, as he had so frankly meant it to become, the atmosphere of her life. An odd discovery was that Hollywood exhibited to the outer eye no night life whatsoever. It was as quiet as a country village. There was nothing of the exuberant promiscuous whirl of Broadway; nothing to compare with the evil of that crowded subway or with the lurking menace of the dark Teeth You Envy Are brushed in this new way Millions of people daily now combat the film on teeth. This method is fast spreading all the world over, largely by dental advice. You see the results in every circle. Teeth once dingy now glisten as they should. Teeth once concealed now show in smiles. This is to offer a ten-day test to prove the benefits to you. That cloudy film A dingy film accumulates on teeth. When fresh it is viscous — you can feel it. Film clings to teeth, gets between the teeth and stays. It forms the basis of cloudy coats. Film is what discolors — not the teeth. Tartar is based on film. Film 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. Thus most tooth troubles are now traced to film, and very few escape them. Must be combated Film has formed a great tooth problem. No ordinary tooth paste can effectively combat it. So dental science has for years sought ways to fight this film. Two ways have now been found. Able authorities have proved them by many careful tests. A new tooth paste has been perfected, to comply with modern requirements. And these two film combatants are embodied in it. This tooth paste is Pepsodent, now employed by forty races, largely by dental advice. Other tooth enemies Starch is another tooth enemy. It gums the teeth, gets between the teeth, and often ferments and forms acid. Nature puts a starch digestant in the saliva to digest those starch deposits, but with modern diet it is often too weak. Pepsodent multiplies that starch digestant with every application. It also multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. That is Nature's neutralizer for acids which cause decay. Thus Pepsodent brings effects which modern authorities desire. They are bringing to millions a new dental era. Now we ask you to watch those effects for a few days and learn what they mean to you.
