A mysterious power, demoniac
 seems determined % to wipe spens out
 tho family of Richard Lorne,
 when Barry Odell, a detective, is called in. From the nurse who
 attended Mrs. Lorne, one of the r victims, he learns I1orne and his {. wife Quarreled furiously. He questions Eugene, a son, and
 learns that Farley Drew has him
 Tn his power and, ncidenfaliy: the parents.
 Sergeant Odell watched Gene mar irowly as he referred to the married lie of the young mans mother and etepfather.
 Tt is true," Gene responded, 'their married life was ideal.''
 Dad loved mother to distraction, and she was just as crazy about him ; but they were forever quarre1ing. A Jot old Titheredge knows about it!'' lhe smiled faintly. Their quarrels didn't amount to anything. though; leach other one minute. and the next they'd be as happy as ever! Dad has high temper. but mother! She wa5 as quick as lightning to give and take a fellow to her heart again.
 That was why I was sure that, aIthough she would be simply wild of
 
 check, she would cover it up and pro- tect me from the consequences I don't care now; nothing matters ex- lcept that I'd like to see Farley Drew get what is coming to him.
 But you will take. my advice?''
 "Yes, sergeant, and I cannot thank you enough for the consideration you thave shown me; I don't deserve it, ,out can tell you that this whole aw iful affair, has taught me a lesson J lGene looked straight into Odell's eyes "I told you at our first meet ing that you could count on me to dc .who is back of this conspiracy tc kill US all, aud you can. I haven't ar J idea who it is; I can scarcely bring myself to think of it. the possibili tics are so horrible. One thing is certain: God knows I hate Farley Drew; but he could have had nothing whatever to do with it. I would stake my life on that: May I go to along with me; he is too good com pany to leave trailing bel1ind.'
 OdelI smiled and held out his hand
 "Go along if you like, MT. Chal- ,mers. I'm glad that we have ha6 this understanding, and may cal upon you for help sooner than you think.
 ''Tell MT. Titheredge that you came to him on my advice, and that I wan ievefything about the affair kept as quiet as possible in the interests o1 the case upon which I am at work
 The younger man flushed as they shook hands.
 Thank you, Sergeant Odell. Yol can trust mo now"
 As he made his way down to tn, second floor the detective congratu lated himself that bis rsupposition il regard to the forgery had been veri lied and some headway had beer gained at last in the process of elinn ination. Gene and Farley Drew wer definitely erased from his list of sus poets, and the motive for Lorne possible guilt loomed large

Judging from the letters that get on the subject, one thing which trou- bles my correspondents a great deal is that part of the back of the neck which they cannot see except with the aid of a hand mirror. The usual com pIaint is that the skin of the neck IS brown and rough looking.
 Many people are apt to neglect the back of the neck simply because they do not see it. The complexion of the face is there for criticism every time they look into a mirror. which is several times a day, but the back of

; 1t is nit generally known that this
gifted violinist won her way, as a
girl. on her own merits into the
National Conservative of Paris by
competing with $50 other students
from all over the world. Only ten
were admitted. and she was fourth on
the list, and the first of the girls.
There followed four years at the Paris
Conservatoire. Upon her return to
this country she was given two
years scholarship by the New York
Institute of Musical Art, and became
one OF Franz Kneisers favorite pupils.
Her first American tour was with
Arthur Whiting and George Barrere,
and she played for President Taft in
1911 at the White House. 1t Is
reasonable to suppose that her first
public appearance In Washington
might have followed long since. But
as so often happens, love came into
her life, and she was taken to far
away California by her husband com
poser, Charles Louis Seegar, who at
the age of twenty-four was put in
charge of the music department of
the University of California, a position
which he held for seven years.
Children came-three lovely boys.
Mrs. Seegar managed. however, to
give many concerts and lecture re-
citals with her husband. at the Uni
versity and other music centers. And
now, at last, she has returned to the
East. with children and husband in
trailer-and hope and happiness In
her eyes!
Capt. and Mrs. Templin Potts have
been hosts frequently to Mrs. seegar
since she came TO Washington. At
the luncheon of the Woman's Ma
tional Press Club tomorrow, when
Mrs. Coolidge will be the guest OF
honor, Mrs. Seegar will play with
her husband as accompanist. and she
will give a program next Wednesday
evening at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Adolph c. Miller. after the dinner
given for the Secretary of State and
Mrs. Hughes. Mrs. Franklin Town
send will sing that evening.

One Of the visitors in Washington

gests camels and tents, but In this

the camels, while the most modern
of tents and other imperdimenta will

twenty-eight motor-cars. all alike
and each with extra space for carry
ing the luggage necessary for a two
months tour. 1t will start from New
York, July Is. and the journey may be
accomplished in five or six weeks. but
provision will be made for possible
lettering en- route whenever there is a
point of interest that justifles a
detour.
Each automobile will carry a fam

new Argonauts will travel with every

Mrs. Calhoun. by the way, already
has learned that authors do not
tread flowery paths-indeed. 1t is my
impression that they always have
troubles. In the play a woman of
fashion. Mrs. Mowbray, says some
rather scathing things about society.
Mrs. George Barnett will appear in
this role which is sure to be clever
ly acted. Well. II seems that the
sentiments expressed by the Mrs
Mowbray in the play have been at
tributed to Mrs. Calhoun in real life
and that they have brought forth
challenges from various quarters.
Does Mrs. Calhoun really believe
that IL is easy to obtain admittance
to Washington society? Does sh e
hold the opinion that money IL an
open sesame? The explanation that
what Mrs. Mowbray thinks is entirely
different from views the creator of
the character may hold has been
made repeatedly since Friday. BY
the same system of reasoning the
dramatist, who draws a portrait OF
william that plots murder, might
be expected to harbor deep. dark,
sanguinary hopes OF killing some
one. Perhaps the approach of sum-
