By Ruth Logan.

I'm the night that Harry
Burnside was murdered, she
who was now his widow had
passed most enjoyable evening
with young Hazlett Grant.
Grant was scarcely more than
q boy, but he had always had
bad name. The nice girls OF the
town did not receive him. al.
though the time had been when
the family had had its place
and prominent one in Carson
City.
Nadine Burnside found his
youth stimulating and his ad-
miration Of her undeniable beauty
comfortable compliment.
It was the gossip Of the neigh.
bors that caused suspicion to
rest on young Grant, and with
the vehemence OF small town de-
termination to get action on a
crime the officers decided to take
him into custody.
Where were you on the night
Of the murder?" he was asked.
II can't remember. Home in
bed, probably"
Then you were not paying a
visit to the home of the dead
MANI"
mo" Stubbornly the young
ne'er-do.weIl stuck to his story.
Mrs. Burnside seemed unin-
clined to come to his assistance.
She reiterated her ignorance Of
the whereabouts of HazIett Grant
and maintained that she had re-
tired at $50 o'clock because of a
sick headache.
Suddenly, in the midst Of the
group of men, appeared a young
girl, her hat in her hand, her
golden hair tossing about her face
in uncared for abandon.
Please" she begged, looking
from one to the other Of them,
may tell you the truth?"
Court procedure in Carson City
was not SO formal as in larger
J places. Caroline Miller was known
to every man in the room. As
the judge said later, "If Carrie
Miller told me she knew the
angel Gabriel by sight, I'd not
doubt herS II ever the honest
truth shone in a girls face, that
girl is Carrie"

but because it's the custom"
Carrie promised to tell the
truth, the whole truth and moth

her reputation for honesty, young

moment. Even in the darkness Of
the cab she saw again the spark
that had sprung to his eyes once
before this evening. And, seeing
it, she caught her breath audibly.
At the sound he released her
hand, and, leaning forward,
seemed to peer out Of the window:

she dlo NOT reply. For q mo-
ment she could not. Her heart
was beating fast and her cheeks
burned. She had never before
cared for Donald as she did at
this instant. For the time he did
not seem like her guardian, but
like the best, finest man in the
world-the only person Of whose
affection she was entirely sure.
And he was handsome too
and popular with women older
and wiser than she. Yet he actu-
ally seemed to wish to be with her
often. She was flattered. Ashe was
happy in the present and excited
at the prospect Of other wonder
full evenings In the future. Her
thoughts were In such Joyous
whirl that she did not feel like

SMART SPORT
SKIRTS
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

- VERY one these days il
planning vacation clothes.
The vogue for the sleeve
less coat sweater and jacquette
blouse requires many skirts and
it is the pleatsd skirts that hold
the place Of prominence this
summer.
Do not hesitate to make your
own pleated skirt. Perhaps skirt
OF all white canton or crepe de
chine will be found the most
practical. Three yards OF ma
terial is required and the width
of the material may be used for
the length Of the skirt, thereby
requiring only one seam.
First turn your hem in the
piece OF material three yards
long. 1t should be basted and then
machine stitched in silk and care
fully pressed. Next take it to the
shop to be pleated, selecting the
width pleats desired. After it
is pleated, seam the material and
attach it to skirt band to get
the pleats even, divide them into
four parts, also the skirt band
may then be carefully fitted into
the even spaces. Stitch a flat
binding at the band to cover the
top raw edges of the pleating.
Have you ever tried putting
your pleated skirt to a bandeau
lining? 1t is an excellent idea,
for it prevents the skirt from
slipping or sagging, and is espe-
cially suitable when one wears
an overblouse. These bandeau
Innings may be purchased all
ready to use at the notion couIi-
tiers, and come in both muslin
and china silk. They fasten un-
der the left side and are sus-
pended from shoulder straps.
There is a band for the skirt,
and this comes in ones exact
measurement.
The striped sport silks make
smart skirts, but these will have
to be scanned several times, as
the width Of the material could
not be used as the length of the
skirt because Of the stripes.
The wraparound model is ex-
cellent in flannel, worsted or
tweed, and also Is simple to
make. A stunning white flannel
skirt is made by binding the
edges with white silk braid, all
around the figure, tapping at the
left side. and fastened to q skirt
band. The side does not need to
be closed, as the material laps
sufficiently to avoid opening.
The step-in skirt is another
simple model for the home sewer.
This is simply two widths OF. ma
terial, hemmed. both top and bot
tom, and finished with an inch
wide elastic belt. One steps into
this skirt, draws it up to the
waist, and there 1t stays. secure

YOUR BEAUTY
A FINE NEW SERIES OF PRACTICAL VALUE

Also buttermilk is mild
bleaching lotion and tends to de-
stroy freckles when applied
nightly, and it is most soothing
to sunburned skin. Buttermilk,
however, should always be wiped
off the skin, as cold cream is,
after twenty minutes or a half
hour.
Much is claimed for soap made
with buttermilk basis.
A noted scientist has original
ed the theory that a certain quail
ity of buttermilk, or rather milk
treated in such a way that it con-
tains almost identically the chem
ical qualities of buttermilk, is so
cleansing and refreshing to the
system when taken as a beverage
that it will postpone old age in

application, and it should have
it's important part in helping to
beautify as well as refresh you.
Possibly you do not like to
drink buttermilk because of it's
acid taste. In that case you may
like it better as it comes fresh
from the churn, or when it is
only a day Or so old And it Is
usually possible to obtain butter
milk in this fresh state.
Buttermilk makes a fine might

would like just the lightest pos
sible luncheon at bedtime to help
you get sleepy quickly, for it is
soothing and refreshing and so
tends to bring on drowsiness.
Do not think, please, that I am
advising you to drink butteruilk
on all occasions. every day in the
year. You might get very tired
of 1t. But it is one of the many
simple identifying agents that it
is well to know of in order to
introduce variety, which is in
itself revivifying, into our beauty

She had actually forgotten
about him! She appreciated this
with pang Of renorse.
AS q few minutes ago she had
seen DOnald's look Of tenderness
so just now she had seen Rich
ards expression OF mingled sur
prise and reproach.
She remembered his telling her
of Muir's emerging from tbs
Ritz-C Carlton with q fashionably
dressed women. He had laughed
bitterly at the idea that he. Rich
ard Rankin. poor artist and re-
former, would be at the Ritz.
She, Winifred had sympathized
with him in his implied disap-
prevail Of the selfish pleasures Of
the rich. Yet here she was with
Muir, fashionably dressed, going
into a popular resort. while Rich
ard Rankin was walking alone,
shabbily clothed. with no COM
panion but his own thoughts.
Yet surely those were lovely
enough to be pleasant compan-
ions.
She tried to feel reaentful of
his presence at this time. Why
need he pass such places as the
Ritz and Biltmore just when she
and Donald were going In or com.
ing out?
Swiftly upon this thought came
wave Of compunction. Richard
was lonely. had nothing. Donald
Muir had success and hosts of
friends. Her conscience accused
her of disloyalty to Richard and
his ideals.
She started as Donald asked her
a question. Automatically she had
followed him into the dining room
and seated herself at the small ta-
BILE to which he had led her.

Indeed, a long fist of good lotions,

There are cucumbers, lemons,

berries, honey, grapefruit, eggs,
hot water, ice, and last but not
least, buttermilk.
And that is but a partial list

two of the articles listed can be
used only externally, but most
Of them are of undoubted value
to the women in quest of beauty

Today let us consider that SIM

milk.
Have you thought about its
identifying qualities as a sum-

Buttermilk has the mineral
qualities Of fruit and much of
the nourishment contained in
milk, and it is not fattening when
taken in reasonable quantities.

basis Of a hot weather luncheon.
