 Hoped to Return Bonds
 The Overlook bonds were mentioned and Gilpatfic said he sold S37 900 when he needed money for the bank. but at the time intended to buy the bonds back again when money was easier. He sad the Federal Reserve Bank was asking him to reduce the re. discounts and the First National Bank of Boston was pressing for money. Turning to Miss Sharpe, Gilpatrie said: Sometimes l deceived you peo- pie here in making entries.
 In conclusion Gilpatric said that there were other losses that he felt he could account for. mentioning one of SlO,00O to the Climax Machine Com pany. On some notes he said interest was paid and on others interest was marked paid but was never paid.
 Mir. Coffin produced brokers ac- count showing Gilpatric's dealings in Davis Daley copper stock. The ae- count showed loss of S7y000. 1ourtesy to fress
 MT Coffin asked members of the press if they wished to ask any ques- tions. 4 few were answered by him. self and by Gilpatric. Gilpatrie as- sured those present that his only transactions with Burns had to do with his real estate.
 Mir. Coffin said that if any creditors had anything to ask he would be the question box Gilpatrie asked if he would be given an opportunity to go over some of the accounts in the re- ceiver's hands to see if he could clear up anything, and was assured that such opportunity would be afforded him. He took off his glasses and showed his blind eyes. saying that his was q peculiar case, and that he had several times been exhibited to doc tors. He said he had given up hope of ever seeing again, but that he hoped tO GaIn victory over blindness.

Do You Use a Lipstick-and How?

New cases for lipstick, like all new
vanltles, always arouse consideration
interest among women, and too often
the novel manner in which it is put
up sways the decision to cosmetic
not all suited to ones complexion.
In selecting any cosmetic the i'm
portant thing, of course, is not the
box in which it is sold, but rather
the quality and shade
1t is important to remember, in Sc
lecting ipstick, whether or not you
can afford to use a ipstick that adds
prominence to your lips. Naturally,
if your lips are large, that is the
last thing you wish to do, and par
ticular care must be taken that the
lipstick is neither too dark a tone nor
too bright. You may use a>brighter
lipstick at night than by day.
The lipstick should be applied with
the mouth open so that when you
talk a dividing line will not show.
The amount of lip rouge used should

vary inversely, with the size of the
mouth
Shade off at the outer edges and
also at the corners of the mouth. If
you are one of those lucky few who
possess a mouth that is perfect in
shape and you may easily follow its
outline in applying the lip rouge 9th
erwlse, 1t is necessary that you work
as carefully as an artist, making the
outlines the way you wish they were.
If a Cupid's bow is more becoming
to you-as it is to most people try
to suggest it on the upper lip as you
make the outline The rouge on the
under lip should be applied in a tiny
dip. Do not get it too wide or your
lips will look coarse.
1t is important that the lipstick and
the rouge should harmonic. If they
are not the same shade they should
at least not clash. However, it is a
simple matter to obtain matching
rouge and lipstick.

had become a part of the social
Whlrl, which in town the size OF
Birmingham, is a ceaseless round of
bridge-parties, dances and teas. Cur
tlss had made rapid strides finan-
cially and l felt that once again |
could afford to take part in the sort
of life | had led before our fortune
was swept away.
The morning of the dav father ar
rived had been taken up with a
meeting of the church unit to which
| belonged and which was composed
OF group of young matrons who
met once a week, presumably to sew
but the sessions had resolved them
selves into more of a social function
with Its exchange of gossip and a
delectable luncheon served at one Of
the members homes. Some persons
scott at this type of effort which is
being put forth by various guilds, +"
circles" ''unites", and Glands" all
over the South. They claim that the
whole idea is incongrous since the
women first donate the articles, then
sew on them for days, later selling
them at an annual bazaar for less
than the original cost. They believe
that an out and out gift of money
would serve the purposes of the
Church equally as well. However
there is a certain class of women
who feel that some sort of church
work is "good for the SOUL" balanc-
ing, as it were, the utter materially
of their social lives.
One splendid feature of the move
ment is that certain girls who have
little or no social activity, are thus
meeting other women their own age
and it is often the only recreation
that brightens their lives. One girl
Of this type was Thankful Brown.
Certain characteristics belong legiti-
mately to certain names. For in
stance Thankful Brown was quiet,
old-fashioned and demure. Just as
the name implied. She was past
twenty-five and seemed even older,
with a sweet understanding nature
which had been enriched, no doubt,
by a hard life in which she struggled
to keep house for a widowed mother
and two sisters younger than her
self
She had taught me to cross-stitch
a cup-towel on my first visit to the
guild, sensing Immediately the fact
that | could not sew. She had tax
en- infinite pains with me on each
thing which l had attempted since
that day and felt that sympathetic
spark which, once in a great while,
we feel when we have made a friend.
Although Thankful was born of ar
istOcratic parents and was one of the
most estimable characters in town
she did not enter into any of the
gaities of our set and it was only
during the guild meetings that l saw
her at all. But at time she invari-

something to me which haunted my

from the others when the conversa-

late dancing the night before and
also sighed when l thought of so
many parties l had to go to during

asked in her quiet, beautiful voice,
you're really much too fine to give
your strength and beauty and intel

preston of disapproval, which was
made more impressive by the ring
Of sincerity in her voice.
