next to the sleuth's outside breast
pocket. She knew what treasures the
pocket contained and was determined
to regain possession Of the pearls.
Pat insisted upon conversing, with
spirit as the cab rolled along. Mrs.
Van Nuys was not SO laxative, and
her silence was noticed by the Sphinx
who frequently addressed himself par
ticularly to the woman, in order to
seem politely interested In her.
Once when the Sphinx turned his
head to speak directly to Mrs. Van
Nuys, the girl, watching catlike for her
opportunity. slipped her slender hand
into Kelly's pocket and deftly drew
forth the Jakobski pearls. In another
instant she had safely secreted them
upon her person. and Kelly. the great
detective, was once more foiled by his
frail and beautiful nemesis.
Safely home at last. Pat securely
locked the pearls In her jewel case
and retired.
The next day Mrs. Van Nuys re-
ceived word from Jakobski that he
would be compelled to foreclose. when
1t soon came due, a mortgage he held
upon an orphan asylum Pat and her
aunt were greatly interested In. Mrs.
Van Nuys and Pat discussed the mat
ter, and more than ever Mrs. Van Nuys
hsmoaned the fact that her resources
had been limited.
"Never mind. auntie DEAR" was Pats
consoling remark, when the discussion
finally terminated. IT have promised
that will get money to cnrry on our
charities-and I'll do 1t by hook or
crook"
But you must not let your tender
heart impel you to do reckless and
foolish things, my child" said MrA
Van Nuys protestingly.
For several weeks after Pats adven-
ture at the Cafe Chic. the newspapers
were filled with reports Of various rob-
berries that were bafiling the authori-
ties. The disappearance of the Ja-
kobski pearls had been the nrst Of
long series Of unsolved mysteries.
Sphinx Kelly had discussed the af-
fair at Cafe Chic witlH his assistants,
and reluctantly admitted that the
crime had completely bafiled him.
And all the time Pat was becoming
more expert. Her associations with

The sweater, having inspired all
sASts Of sweater coats and sport coats
eoi the benefit Of those who like to
combine smartness with uniformity in
dreSs, has improved its own original
conception. In the new models now
heirg manufactured OF sweaters pure
and simple we discover garments more
trim and more carefully planned than
ia the time-hOnored old original. Much
more attention is given to the details
0f finishing. and even the utility sweat
er makes a feature Of color. Any
number of gay shades. as bright A.
field flowers, enliven outdoor back
grounds.
Many women knit their own sweat
ers and sweater-coats. but these hand
made garments are few by comparison
with those knitted by machinery. And
designers of machine knitted garments
have shown themselves amazingly ciey-
er in turning out sweaters that are
almost replicas Of those knitted by
hand. They are responsible for the
best Of new models and the introduc-
ton of novel decorative features that
make them interesting. Recently they
have introduced caps to match-in the
case Of utility-to be worn in keen au-
tumn days or whenever wind aud ooii

every time he could introduce the sub
ject to one Of the band. "We should
make her Queen OF the Underworld,
that's what we should do"
One day there came a telephone call
for sleuth Kelly from the chief of the
Partisan detective force. The robbery
Of famous art collectors treasures
had been the latest achievement of
the mysterious thief. A painting of
fabulous value hnd been cut from its
frame. and all Paris was agog with
the boldness and cunning of the crime.
"We want you to help US on this
theft Of the Mona Lisa" said the chief
Of detectives, to Kelly, over the phone.
"I'll do my best to help you," was
Kelly's brief comment.
Impelled by u suspicion he could not
set at rest the Sphinx called up Mrs.
Van Nuys' home and asked for Pat.
When the girl answered Kelly tried to-
be mysterious In his opening remarks,
but Pat was undeceived.
This Is Kelly the great detective,
am sure" said the girl, and the little
Laugh that she sent over the phone
irritated the Sphinx.
POSSIBLY not great" he replied, "but
you've got the Kelly all right, Miss
Pat. I called up to invite you to 60
with me to the Cafe Chic tonight"
"Sorry that have q previous en-
gagement. Perhaps you will be sur

had tainted Kelly with her response.

the survival of japanese custom
centuries old. He explained the or

One of the stories is that in ancient
times the Japanese attached 'maru'
to the name af anything highly priced.
