Married Life the Second Year

'Hold still There

BY MABER HERBERT URNER. "Dr. IJ. M. Krieman, Surgeon dentist," read the lettering on the ground glass. As Helen opened the door, a bell rans shrilly until she entered and closed it after her. For a moment she stood uncertainly In the little reception room. Then the doctor, white-coated, and with an instrument in his hand, appeared at the office door. "Oh, good afternoon, Mrs. Curtis, I'll tee you just in few minutes. I'm not quite through yet." Helen look a chair hy the table and turned over the several month's old magazine. There were a number of humorous weeklies, much thumbed among them. Kvidently people who were waiting for the dentist did not care for any heavier literature than that offered by a comic paper. The peculiar odor of mingled drugs and antiseptics that is always part of the atmosphere of a dentist's office filled the room. In vain Helen tried to force down that fluttering tremulous feeling that this odor and the nearness to the dental chair always brought. She dreaded if so! Her tetih were peculiarly sensitive. The least, work on them hurt her cruelly -and she shrank from pain with all the horror of a child. And today there were to be two fillings and one tooth drawn. She was to take gas for the extraction, and Warren had promised to come up at 4 :'! to be with her then. It was a quarter to lour now, and the work was to be done on the fillings until Warren came. I-'roin the other room now came a moan and a womaji's voice "Oh, doctor -don't - )h, oh "

Then the doctor's voice, now--just a second longer

now this won't hurt." The moan had not helped to soothe Helen's own quivering nerves. She tried to keep her mind on the comic pnper, but she read one of the jokes three times without realizing what it eaid. It was a midsummer number. How strange the jokes of a midsummer magazine seem in midwinter! There we. re the usual s(uils about the ice-man the scanty bathing suit and the summer widower. "Now, that'ts all today," came from the doctor's room "If that cotton filling hurts you -you can take it out. But it's better left in." 'Then Tuesday at ten J think you said?" asked the woman. Helen's heart beat faster. She knew now he would be ready for her. The woman came through, put on her wraps which were lying on a chair beBide Helen, and hurried out. "Now, Mrs. Curtis," and the doctor appeared once more at the door. Helen went in, laid aside her wraps and got up into a chair. Just the sight of the shining instruments made her sick with fear. She could hear him washing his hands behind the screen. "Well, we're getting a real touch of winter today," he remarked cheerfully. It is a prevailing belief among dentists and physicians that some commonplace remark tends to distract the patient's thought, when as a rule it irritates them by the very obviousness of its intention. Helen leaned hack and closed her eyes while with brisk indifference he made ready his instruments. "Now just a moment, please," as he quickly adjusted a rubber shield in her month. "Just a little wider there!" Kor half an hour he worked on the filling. Kxcept for an occasional moan, Helen made no outcry. But her hands were clinched tight on the arms of her chair and her feet braced rigidly against the foot rest. Dr. Krieman was most conscientious and painstaking in his work, and while he made every effort to minimize the pa.in. yet his manner was not very sympathetic. And now as the instrument touched a nerve, with a stifled cry Helen put up her hand. "Don't do that!" he warned her coldly. "Don't catch my hand you'll make the instrument slip. And again Helen clinched the arms of the chair every nerve taut urtder intense pain. Desperately shetried to think of something to help her. Then ahe recalled what she had once been told was the greatest of all helps in a dental chair to try to realize how little was really being done.- That is only because the work is on the teeth that it hurts so. Could the same thing be done anywhere else it would hardly hurt at, all. Now would there be any pain in the tooth if the nerve was dead? It was a tiny nerve that caused all the pain just the touching and the jarring of this nerve. She tried to think of it. in this way, and aomehow it made the pain a little less. Suddenly the reception room door was opened and the bell rang shrilly until it closed again. It was Warren. The doctor left her for a second and went to the door. "Wel'll be through in just a few moments. Mr. Curtis: I'm polishing off the last tilling." Helen was painfully conscious of how ridiculous she looked with her head back and her mouth wide open and with the glaring light from the window falling full upon her. She hoped Warren would stay in the reception room for a few moments, so he would not see her like this. But

T6 Get Rid of Wrinkles and Bad Complexions

The voluminous draping lines of the new fur models have proven to be far more becoming than the figure swathing lines of the old tight models. Fur lends itself w ith charming effect to draping. In the model 1 show you today, on the right, the smartest lines of the cloth wrap are unswervingly followed, even though ermine is the medium. The sleeves are a wide kimono cut, and the hem is in the narrow swathing lines that mark all the peg top designs of the latest costumes. If ermine is beyond your means, suppose you follow the simple elegance of this costume in white plush or velvet. Here also is a wonderful dinner gown below that you will also enjoy wearing or at an informal dance. The foundation is shell pink liberty. Over this is a wonderful floating gown

of shell pink chiffon in broad,

plaits. The bodice is covered in wide god lace, which continues in long angel sleeves over the arms. At the neck this gathers into the seldom seen simple round decollete. Beneath this lace is a slanting belt of black velvet. From this tails gold net, laid flat over the entire skirt and daintily embroidered at the bottom. At the back there are two sash ends of plaited gray chiffon. And tor further ornament the back ot the nown has a square collar of gold marten. OLIVETTE.

(From Beauty's Mirror.) It is more important now than during the period of profuse perspiration, to keep the pores clean. All cosmetics clog the pores. In winter this interferes greatly with elimination of waste material, injuring instead of aiding the complexion. Ordinary niercolized wax nerves all the purposes of creams, powders and rouges, giving far better results. It actually peels off an offensive skin .at the same time unclogging the pores. Minute particles of scarf skin comes off day by day. causing not the least pain or discomfort. Gradually the healthy, younger skin beneath peeps out. and in less than a fortnight you have a lovelier complexion than you ever dreamed of acquiring. Mercolized wax, obtainable at any drug store, is spread on nightly like cold cream and washed off mornings. One ounce usually suffices. For removing wrinkles, without stopping the pores with pasty stuff, here's a never-failing formula: 1 oz. powdered saxolite, dissolved in pint witch hazel. Bathe the face in this daily for a while; every line will vanish completely. Even the first appliction gives surprising results, (.Advertisement)

he came in and stood close by the chair looking down at her. "Getting along all right." She made a faint motion of her head. Oh, if he would only go away if he wouldn't look at her now! And she couldn't speak, for the doctor was holding her mouth open firmly.

"Now, a little wider, please; I can't ; see half if you keep your mouth closed. There, that's better." j Helen was forced to stretch open her mouth even more. Oh how hideous she must look! And she was so help-j less! Oh, why did Warren persist in ; standing there? At length the doctor laid down the instrument and took ; out therubber shield. Helen sat up and smoothed back her hair. i "Oh, let me get up and fix my hair ; and rest a moment before you give me : that," she pleaded nervously, as the doctor made ready the apparatus for , giving the gas. "Nonsense," said Warren, "what dif- i ference does if make about your hair? i And it isn't going to be any strain on j von vou won't know anvthing about j it." " ! "Oh. no not just yet! Helen looked I up terrified at the tube he was about! to place over her face. She had never I taken gas before and now she was fill- I ed with the horror of the unknown. : With a helpless gesture she reached out her hand tto Warren. j "Now don't be foolish." as he took her hand and held it firmly. It'll be all over in a moment and you won't feel , anything." ! "Just lie back please." repeated the i doctor. i With a sense of helpless terror Hel- j en lay back and the rubber tube was placed over her face. Desperately she held to Warren's hand as she breathed the sickening odor of gas. Then came j a soothing, throbbing sensation. She i could hear the doctor's voice saying.

"breathe deeper." hut it seemed strangely far away. Everything was confused and vague. And then came a curious feeline: as though she were floating away out into space. "Now you're all right! Take this and rinse out your mouth." Helen opened her eyes with a start. The doctor was placing a glass in her hand. Warren was standing on the other side. "Now. that wasn't hard you didu't know any tiling about it." "Oh, is it out?" "Of course it's out!" "But I feel so strange and dizzy."

She was filled with a hysterical de- i sire to laugh and cry She supposed that was the effects of the gas. She wanted to hold to Warren to cling to him and sob away with this curious feeling. He took her home in a taxi and for once she did not protest at the expense, she felt too badly to think if it. ' All the way she had to struggle against her desire to put her hand on hisshoulder and sob. ! When they reached home she drew ! him toward the big char. j "I want you to hold me. dear just 1 a moment! I feel all unstrung from' that gas." "Nonsense, you imagine most of it. j

Go in and lie down if you want to rest. "That won't help me," half sobbing. "This is the only thing that will help me," as she drew hi mreluctantly Into a chair and nestled down into his arms. "This is what I want," with a long Quivering sigh of content, "what I always want."

Just one application doubles the biauty of your hair, besides it immediately dissolves every particle of dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy, healthy hair if you have dandruff.
