have it spent for you already. And
when I tell you what I have in mind
why-you'll spend the seventy five To
explain, where you do keep your hats!
1t is a problem to know just where to
nut them. Hat boxes are nuisance,
as a rule, and have to be stuck under
a bed or couch to be put out of the way
I say they are n nuisance as Il rue
however. For quite by chance | hav"
found something that ! have wanted
and have been more or less l0oKlh"
for for some time. 1t is generous
sized hat box that is so pretty and tuSsE
looking that it is n real artistic addition
TO any bedroom. Broad black and white
stripes surround it, and climbing over
and about the stripes are pink roses.
The design will remind you OF ere
tonne pattern you have probably seen.
and. of course, you will want one OF
the boxes for your room. Well, then,
that is the use I have found for, your
seventy five cents, for that is all one
costs.
am of two minds about telling you
of the froCks. My first thought Is that
YOU are probably very low financially

Interested. My second is that perhaps

the case Of
Seventeen Hammer BlO,Us

"One of the most brutal and bizarre
murders that ever occurred in the
metropolitan district said Harvey
Hunt. the criminal Investigator. in reply
to q question from his friend DeKyne,
was that of Mrs. Waddicomb, at
Brayton Beach.
The womun's skull had been beaten
in with an ordinary hammer. the head
OF which had been wrapped in cloth,
and the handle tied up in newspaper.
They found the hammer aftcrward in
the furnace. with the rag and the paper
only partly burned away.
THE alarm came from the telephone
operator, who reported to police head
quarters that the receiver evidently had
been knocked from the pnonc in the
summer cottage of Prof. WaddiComb.
which was supposed to have been un
occupied. and that 4 mans voice had
called for help.
"A motor with squad of patrolmcn
was rushed out to the house, which was
rather separated from the rest of the
houses in the colony. and surrounded
by many trees and II rather extensive
garden. They met the professor, II
