to be more colorful than all to see
and Easter eggs, all hctic dyed will
look quite wan when side by side
with maid or matron on display in
latest mode for Easter day.
For colors vivid and bizarre it is
decreed that we must wear and gilt

the modish Easter belle will CLEAN

eyes will have to squint, of Easter

at her. Oilcloth and lacquered stuff
are fine to give them necessary shine
metallic fabrics, jet and beads and
now to meet these shiny needs they
are even using bits of glass and it
is not considered Grass to wear
frock with quite a bit of broken glass
set into it with silken and metallic
stitch in Oriental manner rich. A
bit of pain 'twould give me, too, to
wear a bit of pane but true it is
that many a lass feels all dolled UP
in bits of glass.
The Oriental touch Is such hit

trends of fashions whim and even

The gloves for Easter most ornate

back she was in hired taxi. That's
something 1 can't understand"
"How do you suppose the murderer

was trying every avenue of ques-
tioning to see If 1 could not surprise
Wick into some damaging admission.
l was beginning to suspect that he
knew far more about Miss Lutan's
murderer than he was telling. / felt
somehow that his whole search for the
man who had killed Miss Lutan had
been entirely perfunctory, a bluff to
deceive me. In my growing dislike
for the man, l felt that 1t would not
be beyond the range Of probability for
Wick to have been standing guard at
the door while a confederate rified the
apartment.
"I'm no detective" he answered nom
committally. "All know is that he
has gone. He certainly amt here in
the apartment"
1t was on the tip Of my tongue to
suggest that we look in the secret
passageway. 1 felt that the shock it
would be to Wick to learn that knew
about this might lead him to open his
lips. / felt certain that it was by way
of a similar passageway to the one l
had discovered in my room that the
murderer had escaped. But before l
could make up my mind to speak the
doctor arrived.
He made hasty inspection and then
said tersely:
"Theres nothing here for me to do.
This woman has been dead for some
time"
GLOW long?" I asked.
at is impossible for me to Judge
maybe twenty minutes, perhaps an
hour. I should say that death was
practically instantaneous. She was
killed by bullet penetrating the heart.
Who shot her?"
He looked sharply from me to Mr..
Wick, as If suspecting that it might
have been one of us.
"a burglar got her just a few min
utes ago" Mr.. Wick explained. "Mr.
Nelson and me heard scream and a
shot. We let ourselves in here with
my pass key and found her here. 1t
must have been burglar that she sur
prised when she entered the apart
ment."
ut looks like It," assented the ply
stefan. "There are marks on her
throat where he tried to strangle her
screams. Have you notified the po-
lice"
"Yes," said Mr.. Wick.
"There's nothing more that | can do,
then" said the doctor, making his
preparations to depart.

Mrs. Green Considerably Relieved
When Husband Explained His
Reasons for Singing.

Mr.. Green fancied his voice, and
hardly ever failed to attend any mu-
steal evenings that were given in his
neighborhoOd.
On this occasion, however, he was
rather nervous, for his wife was going
with him for the first time and she
had never heard him sing in public ;
in fact, she didn't know he had ever
done so.
When the meeting was drawing to a
close the chairman stood up and asked
if any gentleman would oblige with a
song. Green at once climbed upon the
platform and obliged-much to his
wife's annoyance, if one could accept
her expression as criterion of her
feelings.
George" she whispered, when the
pair were on their way home, what
ever made you sing?"
"Why, my dear said her husband,

Green, with great relief. II thought
