We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

"We were breaking up, Ned and I, after two years. It was his decision to end our engagement, not mine. I simply couldn't understand it." "Heartsick and worn out, I packed my bags for a stay at the seashore. New places, new faces would help me to forget." "There were loads of attractive people there — two men and a stunning girl particularly. But they didn't ask me to make it a foursome. I looked too sad, I guess." "Later they did inviteme to play golf. They actually left me standing on the 18th green while they stalked off to the club for refreshments. I put it down to bad manners." "That night I went to the hotel dance, determined to have a good time and forget Ned. But not one of the men asked me to dance. It was pretty galling." "Hurt and humiliated, I flounced off to bed and tried to knit myself off to sleep. But sleep wouldn't come. My nerves were on edge." "In desperation I got up and dressed. Perhaps a walk under the cool stars would soothe my ruffled feelings. The night was simply gorgeous." "I sat on a little knoll near the water. Then I overheard this: 'Oh, the Crane girl is attractive enough. Lots of fun — but her breath is enough to make you shudder . . ."' "Mortified and ashamed I hurried back to my apartment and gargled Listerine that very night. (Incidentally, there has never been a day since that I haven't used it.)" "And what a difference it made! The following week at the hotel was one of the gayest I have ever had in my whole life. Dates? I had them to burn!" "When I got home I pocketed my pride and called Ned up. Tf you want to know how changed a girl can be,' I said, 'come up and see me sometime.' He did." "We took up where we left off and it wasn't long before Ned's ring was back on my finger. I'm getting my trousseau next week." Use LISTERINE to check Halitosis [Bad Breath] Quit taking it for granted that your breath is always agreeable. It really isn't, you know. Anyone is likely to have halitosis at some time or other — without knowing it. Halitosis is principally caused, says a leading dental authority, by the fermentation of food particles that even careful tooth brushing has failed to remove. The quick, pleasant, safe way to combat this condition is to rinse the mouth with Listerine every morning and night and between times before meeting others. Listerine halts fermentation and overcomes its odors. Lambert Pharmacal Co., St. Louis, Mo.
