IF YOU ARE WELL BRED

You will add to the comfort of
your weekend guest by informing
her in part at least of what the pro-
gram for visitors is to be SO that she
can pack things really needed and
leave unnecessary things at home.
You will consult your guests taste
and then order for yourself and your
guest when dining at a hotel or res
taurant.
You will not make your refusal
to join things which a party are do
ing too obvious e though they are
against your principles. There is no
necessity, however. for doing some
thing you do not desire to do just
because you are M of a group.

CRICKETS EAT WOOL

The other day while you were
having an outing you probably
spread your bathing suit out on the
grass to dry while you rambled
through the nearby wood land. And
when you returned, picked up your
suit and examined it you found
it had taken on something of the
characteristics of a sieve. 1t was
riddled! The holes were much
larger and more jagged than the
holes made by a moth.
Crickets are the answer!
They eat wool. So lay your suit
on the grass to partially dry. Then
be sure to hang it on a line we'll out
of the reach of crickets, for they
will attack it as soon as 1t dries.

TIL LOVE PENDULUM"
By MARION RUBINCAM

everyone's eyes. This winter she af-
fected black, and went everywhere,
in a time when short skirts and
youthful styles were worn in long,
clinging, trailing gowns of velvet and
fur and satin.
I began to lose my dislike of her.
I began to admire her rich hair In
its eccentric fashion, and her Curl
Gus, cat-like eyes.
Then came Wins message, and
then more rumors, and once again l
hated her with all the strength 1
had.
His letter, in his strange but so
familiar handwriting, fairly leaped
out at me from the mornings pile
of mail. 1 tore it open with trem-
bling myers, my breakfast forgot
ten, the other letters neglected.
my lear Connie" he began. you
seem to be the most popular young
woman in New York, judging by the
publicity you receive. You used to
say you hated that; in fact, you
auarreled with me violently once be-
cause 1 wanted you to send your pic
tt1re to a magazine. l meet you now
on every news stand.
IL have been thinking that, as you
are so popular, you might find 1t IN
convenient to be tied to me. If you
want an entire separation, l shall do
everything I cam"
I don't think I ever finished that
letter. After all these months Win
throp could still reach across the
space between us and hurt me in a
letter as he had so often hurt me in
speech.
The rest of the letters stayed there
until night. After 1 had gotten over
the first sick pain of it, I dressed and
went to my aunt's. 1 had to go to
someone, and she would know what
ever gossip was about.
/ showed her the letter.
what have you heard about Win?
Why should he suddenly write me
like this?"
Aunt Harriet suddenly softened,
and grew sweeter and more lovable
than / had eve seen her.
II suppose you had better know.
A friend of Medals heard that he
wants to marry Gwen. 1 thought,
you know, that she would drop him
as she drops all these chaps she
grows enthusiastic about. But she
hangs on to him-though 1 haven't
seen them together for a long time.
Win has a great deal of charm-she
may really like him"
But a separation-a-"
well, why not?" asked Aunt
Harriet calmly.
"I couldn't bear it," I said, and
burst suddenly into hysterical tears.
But 1 was ashamed of showing my
feelings, so I controlled myself as
soon as possible.
Now, don't go and call up that
little Colin" she said as I left.
But hat was my only refuge. |

Your eyes! Why, of curse they
can be just as lovely as those of
that lovely. girl you saw yesterday
rolling hers at the dashing young
man!
And didn't they roll beautifully!
Only they never could have done it
with such grace and they wouldn't
have been so easy to look at If she
hadn't been in the habit of rolling
them often when there wasn't any
thing worth rolling them at!
Eyes need exercise just like your
hands or your arms and 1t must be
systematic.
Night or morning, either that
you have most time, take your little
hand mirror and roll your eyes, up
and down, this way and that. for
five minutes.
Do it systematically, every day
and before you think you will have
the circulation so stimulated that
your eye will be bright and luster"

WINS MESSAGE
CH pTEP "a

SAA<AA OF
Never before had l done so much
or accomplished SO little. as during
that mad, feverish, wasteful winter.
Ordinarily l had a great deal of
poise-that winter l had almost
none.
At first / went about because my
aunt wanted me to. then / began
wanting hourly distraction. At first
1 felt it my duty to please my aunt
n my father, since they were CIV
ing me a very generous income. To
be sure, it was my own money, some
from my mother, and there was no
one to inherit from either my aunt
or my father but myself. Yet l felt
dependent, and bound to please for
that reason-though all the time the
money meant little to me.
Part of it was reaction from the
narrowness of the little town, too.
"They were so se1f-satisfied, so
SNUG, so sure their way was the only
right one," I told Colin one day.
And Colin nodded, slowly putting
away at his cigarette.
So / plunged into every ~frivolity
the city offered-and the city offered
many distractions. No one ever
mentioned Win to me-. Everyone
seemed to have forgotten him but
me. Aunt Harriet now and then re-
ferred to my late unfortunate af-
fair" and father once remarked that
he had seen Win on the street. .
From Mother Taylor, who now
wrote me faithfully, I heard only
that Win was still in the apartment
we used to have together. that he
was doing very WELL" and that he
wrote her about once in two months.
In spite of her devotion, she man
aged to get along very well without
him, she was busy running several
worthy cases" at home.
So 1 went everywhere / could.
Luncheons, teas, dinners. theatres,
weekend parties for skating were
the rage now, and summer houses
were opened for winter guests. My
aunt approved of a marvellous skat-
ing costume of blue and white wool
that 1 bought, and had a lot of ex-
pensive pictures of me taken in it.
These went about, with the usual
ssocial notes." I wondered whether
Win saw them? The pictures were
very fattering, so / hoped he had.
Meantime L made myself very
charming to Nardonski, having
found out that Gwendolyn wished to
keep him in her crowd. Meantime I
helped my aunt in her gentle and
clever little game of getting Gwen
out of things" She was so success
full that at the end of the winter no
one saw that lady except at large
parties-or about town with people
one wouldn't know" as my snobbish
aunt put it.
Several times 1 saw Gwen when I
was dining out. I always saw her
in the audience at the big concerts,
though no longer in the box where
Nardonski bowed to her. She was
an extraordinary figure that drew

AMERICANS IN MEXICO
FIGHT INCOME TAX HERE
Test Suit viii Be Made in
Baltimore u. S. Court.

MBxIco CITY, April 3.-Collection of
United States income taxes from Amerf-
cans resident in Mexico will be contested
in the United States courts, according to
an announcement by a committee repre-
senting a group of Americans here.
The anpouncement stated that suffi-
Client funds already have been raised to
start two suits for testing the right of
the United States Government to tax non
resident American citizens and that these
suits will be filed In the Federal District
Court in Baltimore. One OF the suits
Will be filed on behalf OF Americans
whose entire income is derived and ex-
tended In Mexico and the other in be-
half of individuals whose income Is
partly derived from Mexican sources and
partly from sources within the United
States.
II was made clear that companies and
corporations. such as those operating
mines and oil wells. are not embraced in
the suits. which relate solely to indi-
viduals. The amount OF taxes affected
in the case of Americans resident in
Mexico is understood to be less than
IS. 600 900.

ANTITRUST LAWS
EXTENSION SOUGHT
Bill Amending Donnelly Act
introduced in State
Legislature.

Special Despatch 10 THE New York HErAEn-
ALBANY, April ga bill amending the
Donnelly antitrust law and providing
for the protection OF consumers has been
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Schuyler NJ. Meyer and in the Assembly
by Assemblyman Martin. Senator
Meyers bill has been reported from the
Senate judiciary Committee but no ac-
tiun has been taken on the measure In
the lower house.
The Meyer-Martin bill extends the
anti-monopoly law to ANY article or
product used In the conduct of trade,
commerce or manufacture" 1t has been
contended at hearings during March
that the Donnelly law Is practically de-
feated In its intent whore monopolies are
maintained and competition restrained
In the case OF articles not OF common
use. according to the judicial interpreta-
ton, burt which articles enter into the
production of commodities that are of
common use.
An illustration was pointed out In the
photo-engraving industry. where the
Photo Engravers Union fixes a mini
mum selling base which the employer
must follow in selling his output. Pro-
ponents OF the Meyer Martin bill contend
that this practice Is IAN effective be-
ginning OF the introduction OF the Rus
sian Soviet idea into American indus

in its membership 900 of tho best
known financial and i strial men in

Opdycke said:
Among business men generally. as

duty of Congress- and with view to
aiding In this legislation the Tax League
OF America called the conference just

Born Industry.

WASHINGTON. April g. - Defence OF
the nations war born dye industry
against competition OF the German dye
and chemical trade will be taken up
soon by the Department of Commerce
in conference here with representatives
OF American manufacturers. Rapid re-
vival OF the German industry, especially
as a factor in foreign trade. depart
ment officials said tonight, must be
taken into account by American inter-
ests In order that the industry may be
secure here and the country remain in
dependent of foreign sources of supply.
The credit angle In the trade revival
programme officials said. is in the hands
of the War Finance Corporation, which
is expected to aid the exporters through
corporations organized under the Edge
act in different sections OF the country.
In addition. formation of combinations
for extending foreign commerce under
the Webb Pomerene act has been advo-
Gated by Secretary Hoover as the most
practical method of moving commodities
after credit has been obtained and also
as, a defence against similar combina-
tons by foreign exporters.
Government experts expressed the
opinion that American concerns should
follow their goods to the market rather
than rely upon foreign mlddlemen 10

Strengthening Of the country's ship
ping position. commerce of1cials as
serted, would naturally follow the for
eign trade revival to which the Admin
istration is giving its efforts. Resump-
ton of tho flow of American goods TO
the ports OF the world, they contended.
would provide the business TO take
American shipping out of its present
slump.
