the officer came outside again.
They're dead. all right" he
heavily and impersonally remarked
as he reached into his hip pocket
for a small note book. "Who are
they? he just as impersonally de.
manded.
II never knew them" Storrow
told him. i've only been in this
building a few weeks"
What's your name?"
Storrow gave 1t.
"What'd you do when you forced
that door?' was the next question
Storrow could feel the hand of the
girl at his side reaching for his
arm.
II opened the window and then
turned off the jet where the gas
was escaping"
What next?"
1t was Torrie who answered.
I'VE realized there'd been an
accident and called up police head
so cool that Storrow stood abashed
in his own awkwardness. The
officer looked up from his note
book with a quick inspection of the
robe-clad figure clinging to Stor-
rows arm.
1T was an accident, then?" he
asked.
Doesn't IL look like one to your"
questioned the girl.
Sure" he assented as his big
fingers once more fell to penciling
on the little page. Wen report it
that, anyway"
The rest of the explaining was
done by Torrie. Storrow awak-
ened to the fact that the big
shouldered officer was not un-
conscious of her beauty. He stood
more ponderously attentive when
she spoke. He waited with tau
rine patience until she had ex-
planned what was already obvious
to him. He even showed his teeth
in a grin of sympathy when he
said he supposed she'd rather be
in bed at an hour like this.
Then he turned to Storrow and
announced that the latter would
be wanted at the precinct station
sometime during the next day. II
was, he explained as he tucked
away his note book, merely mat
ter of form. He stopped, arrested
by the CLEAN of a white ankle as
the girl beside Storrow drew the
voluminous folds of her bath robe
together.

NEW NOTES FOR
OLD GOWNS
BY Rita Stuyvesant.

II F you have a sleeveless crepe
silk frock of light color from
the summer days why not dye
IL dark shade and wear it for
autumn days under a top coat.
One frock of cerise crepe was dyed
at home from its original shade of
black. With it was worn a simple
guimpe of turquoise blue georgette
with three-quarter sleeves that
flared fashionably. A linked girdle
of turquoise blue coins was
looped about the hips, and the little
frock now passes on its way quite
unrecognized.
Nearly everyone has a navy trico-
tine from last season and wishes to
change Ii a bit. The simplest way
to remove the sleeves. and for busi-
ness or general wear it could be
supplied with a cream net guimpe,
but for dressy occasions wear a
guimpe of navy georgette with
great, flaring sleeves, or perhaps
one of a brighter shade, such as
jade, flame, orange or gray
Very often IL you purchase a
georgette blouse in gay colors and
wear 1t with a sleeveless frotk,
either Of tricoune, twill, satin or
taffeta, the effect is unusually ef-
fective for a made-over affair.
A frock of gray Canton from
the spring is successfully dyed a
navy shade. A deep V, collared at
the front, was supplied by a finely.
tucked vest of henna Canton crepe,
and there was a sash also of the
henna material, picoted at the
edges. Chenille embroidery, also in
the henna, was used at the bottom
Of the skirt, and 1t was impossible
to recognize in this attractive gown
the original model Of gray.

A LREADY that night somebody
A had sought to inform him
that he was inspecting life
with the lid off. That had
been in reference to the foolish
and fantastic spectacle Of "a fancy.
dress ball, the occasion of a band Of
mummers drinking and gyrating 10
jazz band music. But here, almost
at his own door, was a very differ
ent kind of life with the lid off,
a life that chilled the marrow and
benumbed the mind instead of
lOOsening the tongue and tickling
the toes Of the tinklinss of ragtime.
He strode through the door that
still stood open between the two stu
dios. He pulled off the heavy-top-
ped boots, contemptuously, and
reached for his slippers and dressing
gown, glad of the warmth Of that
heavier garment about him. 1t
seemed a long time, he remembered,
since he had left that studio and
gone light-heartedly down to join
Hardy in his waiting taxicab.
1t impressed him as odd that utter
strangers should have the power
thus to disturb him, even in their
death. The city, he saw, brought
ones. fellow beings little closer
about one.
There was no escape from it's
tangled interplay of influence. 1t
was tribal convention between
eternal rivalries. 1t was melt
ing-pot in which personal inde-'
pendence merged and flowed into
a drab communal compound. He
was one of colony, and nothing
more. He was, in n way, at the
mercy of his neighbors. They were
always to be reckoned with, for
they had the power, obviously, both
of raising him up and casting him
down. And behind It all, apparent
ly, was the demand to unity and
fulfill life, to clarity some far
off dream.

sat staring vacantly at the wall be-
tore him. 1t was Tories voice
that reused him.
Here's your policeman" she
announced, almost reprovingly,
from the doorway.
Storrow met the officer at the
head of the stairs. It was much
simpler, after all, than he had ex.
pected. He explained how he had
come in late, had smelled gas. had
traced 1t to this mans Musellis
door, and had felt that something
might be done. He had thought II

On certain occasions Willie takes

while other times he doesn't. When
Willie's mother told him that she did
not want him to leave the building
all afternoon because he had disobeyed
her by going swimming in the river
on the day previous, Willie carried
out his mothers instructions to the
letter. He did not leave the building
all afternoon. When Willie's mother
arrived home from her shopping tour
late in the day, however, she was sur
prised to find that her sons hair was
wet.

go in the river again." said his
mother. 80
"Nope," Willie replied.
''Then how did you get your hair
wet?" his mother asked.

"Swimming?" gasped his mother.
II told you not to leave this building.
Now you will go to bed without any
supper.
II didn't leave the building" Willie
insisted.
"How could you 60 swimming

TOLD GEORGE NOT TO WORRY
English Labor Leader Cared Little for
That divinity That Doth
Hedge a King"

Kings have no longer any ruling
power in a frst-class nation. A little
incident in which the king Of England
figured last year may be told in con-
nection with the new spirit of affairs.
The late Will Crooks, labor member
of parliament, a cockney with big
black beard and devoid of aitches, a
sincere and much loved man, as re-
mote from highbrow socialists as from
hidebound conservatives, was among
the fashionable crowd of guests at
the royal garden party.
The king got him into conversation.
Will Crooks talked as freely to his
monarch as he would to a follower in
the East end of London. Both men
were soon deep in the troublous times
which were upon England. The king
plainly showed his anxiety about the
future. Will Crooks, who was the
most sympathetic soul in the world,
tried to reassure the king as they shook
hands in good-by: "Now, look here,
old chap; don't you 60 worrying about
things; everything is going to turn
out all right, old fellow"
There is cause for a little specula-
ton in what must have, been the men
tai attitude of the mobiles and dignita-
ries clustered round as they observed
the familiarity. But what the king
thought of it is best expressed by the
fact that before the next garden party
he and the queen together sent spe-
cial letter to Will Crooks and his
wife, saying how much they wanted
them to be present.-Frank Dilmat in
the Outlook.
