Tonight is the night the spirit en-

duces or something, and she was in
such a hurry to get dinner over with
and get dressed that she made me
feed the baby his cereal, and / do not
do 1t very we'll on account Of him
moving his head so much that when
you aim the spoon at his mouth you
hit him in the ear, and Joan is sore
at me because of her having to give
him a shampoo after fed him.
When I had got half way through
with his bowl Joan said. please
hurry. The folks will be here at s
o'clock, and it's quarter to now and
we have to eat and wash the dishes
and get dressed" and / said. II am

said. How will we know what
the spirits are talking about tonight
If they really do knock on the tablet"
and Joan said, "Why. I think one
knock means no and two yes, or
something like that"
So gave the baby another mouth.

Read Mr.. Weller's sincere tribute
to the power Of ALL-BRAN in re-
lieving this dread disease:
IT have been constipated for the last 80
years. Have taken stuff from all over the

Headaches, pimples, spots before
the eyes, dizziness-all are tell-tale
symptoms.

teed to relieve constipation. Eat
two tablespoonful daily-in chronic
cases, with every meal.

Accessories For
Smart Bathing
Suit Numer r0us
By HEDDA HOYT

United Press Fashion Editor
|. NEW YORK, June Ito go
swimming at fashionable resort
these days one requires not only a
smart bathing suit but numerous
well ha arInonized accessories. The
days when a suit. cap and shoes
constituted q bathing ensemble are
no more.
Today there must be q smart
beach wrap of some sort, for
though the swimming suit itself
may not be over.modest, one must
go upon the beach well covered.
Rubber beach capes mottled in
batik designs or with colorful
flower motifs on the outside and
with plain colored Innings are per-
maps the most practical of the cape
wraps. Cretonne and printed linen
coats of kneelength are very at
tractive. especially when worn over
solid color bathing suits. Shorter
coats of cretonne or linen made on
blazer jacket lines are also featur-
ed this season. One also sees quaint
tiles of coolie coats with their gay
letterings at the center Of the back
and bright sleeve facings.
Taffeta and satin bathing slips,
resembling little dresses, are favor,
ties with women who do not care
for the snugness Of One-piece knit
suits. Checked taffetas are particul.
arly youthful and attractive. Two
piece knitted suits are favored
above the one-piece models at pres
ent. These two-piece models consist
of knitted shirt of white or color
with contrasting trunks. The trunks
are not as tight fitting as the
trouser portions of the one-piece
model, and they are fitted with
belt straps, for one always wears a
belt when trunks and separate
shirt are worn.
Bathing bags this season are .ex.
tremely fascinating. Some Of them
are made of black rubberized
material painted with gay-colored
designs in shapes of large hand
bags with zipperl,Ee. top closings,
Others of rubberized materials
have draw-string tops. Some of the
later are made with doll-head tops.
and have legs and arms. Puppy
bags, the fuzzy og-shaped bags
which one sees in the shops these
days are carried by younger girls
as a means of holding cosmetics,
etc. By the way, have you noticed
the high-heeled bathing shoes with
heels made of hard rubber' These
are more flattering to the foot than
heeless shoes.

set at it's head. Here would preside
Roger Brooks, apostle of civic virtue
and author of vitriolic editorials in
imical to the Ring and the Under
world.
The hands of the clock pointed to
the hour of p. m. when the eleva-
tor door clicked open. Out into the
corridor stepped the figure Of large
man not unlike Roger Brooks in ap-
pearance with leonine head and
thick, white hair.
It was Judge George Wharton of
the Superior Court. He passed with
firm steps into the publishers pri-
vate Office, greeting the latter with
friendly cordiality.
Two minutes afterward Henry
Bolton, the district attorney of Ca
tawba County, was admitted to the
inner sanctum of the newspaper
man. He was followed almost imme-
diately by Donald Keene and Teddy
Farrell. Don was carrying a black
leather bag which he opened at
once, taking from it the dictagraph
that Teddy and he had installed in
the office of Walden, Higgins g.

Pops table and taking his little
protege by the hand, he introduced

lighting up his rather pale face,

The diminutive, boyish figure had
stepped forward shyly. A pair of
soft brown eyes met the curiosuly
admiring gaze of the visitors.
Teddy's heart was pounding like a
trip-hammer but outwardly she
was as "cool" as the proverbial
cucumber
Turning back to the instrument
on the table, Don attached the cord
and then screwed the plug into a
