THE HOW-THE WHEN-THE WHY
BY ANNE ARDEN.

-. It's as easy to. be right as to be
wrong, and to ones glory
MY Dear Miss Arden: Is it neces-
sary when out socially, to recognize
purely business acquaintance. and
if not what must one do to avoid
speaking TO said acquaintance?
Thank you for helping me.
Very truly yours.
ALICE c."
No. Alice c., 1t is not in the least
necessary to speak to a strictly bust
ness acquaintance when one Is out
among friends on pleasure bent--but,
why not?
To begin with why have we ac-
copied the invitation of our hostess
and ] judge from your communication
that yoh speak of an affair that is
possessed Of a hostess. If we have
accepted her invitation to enjoy her
hospitality. and add TO the pleasure
of the occa sion with our presence, we
also have accepted the responsibility
of being entirely courteous to- her
other guests, just as the other guests
have accepted and will be cou teous
TO us.
1t cannot matter whether we have
met any of these other guests Jefore,
unless, of course, there has been some
thing unpleasant about the meeting
and we feel that we cannot suffer fur
Their embarra ssment. If this Is the
case. 1t is necessary that we avoid.
rather than affront the person, for
in affronting this other guest, we af-
front and make most uncomfortable
our hostess. And display exceedingly
bad breeding in the bargain.
II is a very simple and uninvolving
matter graciousiy TO say Good aft
ernoon" or " Good evening TO a per.
son, whether we have previously met
in business way or not. And after
all, there is nothing about the bust.

than the robbery of all his storehouses

He warned Whitefoot that if he ever
came back he (Chatterer) would kill

foot, though he may be timid. isn't
stupid. There are bright wits in that
trim little head of his. If there were
not he wouldn't be alive No, sir, he
wouldn't be alive. So, though of
course he felt bad he didn't despair.
Indeed, he was very far from despair.
Whitefoot is one of those who SAYS
that any one who gives up to despair
just cheats himself Whitefoot ought
to know. II there is any one in all

ter in ali the Great World, who has
had more occasions for despair than
Whitefoot the Woodmouse, l don't
know who it is.
SO Whitefoot simply got out Of
sight--that is TO say. he got out of
Chatterer's sight. That wasn't very
difficult to do. because you know
Whitefoot can hide under almost moth
ing. He can hide under an oak leaf.
But though he was out of sight of
Chatterer, .Chatterer was not out Of
his sight.
"Chatterer isn't going TO stay there
very long" thought Whitefoot mo.
sir. Chatterer isn't going to stay there
very long. He doesn't live here and
he just happened over here. That was

Yet. | can sit here pounding out the
warning to dozens of YOU that the
chances are dead against your gain

YOU blithely so ahead and take a

You1l take the most amazing
chances with your 1ives-chances you
wouldn't dream of taking with your

Tweed i'm Combination With Leather
BY MARY MARSHALL.

ter A well known American woman
in Paris wears a shiny black leather
coat lined with gray wool when she
is seen walking in the parks. For
walking simple little tweed frocks
are sometimes chosen. trimmed with
leather and worn with short leather
coats of the same color. An oVerplaid
green skirt and jumper trimmed with
kid is worn with a green kid Jacket
Iined with black woody material.
Leather hats are to be had, but
most women prefer those of soft kid
to match the leather accessories.
Leather buttonholes are again very
much liked in Paris. Camelias of red
kid are worn in the buttonhoe of the
navy blue or black suit. There are
little bouquets cleverly made of a
variety of colored feathers and worn
to decorate the fur collar or scarf
One advantage of these leather flow
ers is that they are not harmed in the
least by dampness.

CHAPTER Xxx.
Mark Decides.

To Marks establishment, Maude
proved TO be amazingly resourceful
where his problems were concerned.
As he presented them. to her, one
after another, her brain seemed TO
work quite logically She had had
her At of crying and was over II. She
was so determined Jessica should not
marry Ray Townley that she seemed
able TO combat any difficulty.
Mark foolishly told her about his
shack In the Shawangunk Mountains,
and she seized upon II with avidity.
TIE Shawangunk Mountains were
the foothills of the Catskills. That
made II splendid because they were
not too far away. Why couldn't
Mark on some pretext get Jessica to
drive him up there?
Mark caught her up here.
II don't think she would, because
she hates me since l had that talk
with her.
you can get around that" Maude
said eagerly. You can make her
feel that you are resigned to her
marriage. After all, Mark. you're
older than she liz and more resource
full It won't be long before her sus-
picions are lulled. You might even
talk to her about own affairs as
she were an old person. That will
fiatter her"
Mark stared at her admiringly.
From a weeping old woman she hadl
emerged into a personality quite diff
ferent How she must love Jessica-
in order to come to the fore like this.
It was almost incredible.
And az for someone to chaperon

with her. Shes woman I befriend-
ed al one time and ! think she will
help us: in fact. I'm sure Of it,"
Mark saw himself being gradually
drawn into this web Of Aunt Maude's
eaving and. In spite OF the fact that
he admired her for her resourceful-
ness. he was furious At the role he
was being forced 10 play. What Jes-
sica needed was good spanking. and
he lOngcd to he the one 10 administer
II. But for all his rehellious thoughts,
he knew systematically that he would
try Aunt Maude's plan. He wanted
no stone left unturned in this situa-
ton; then there would be no re-
proaches afterward. and he would
have an entirely clear conscience.
Since that rainy morning when he
and Jessica had read poetry her atti-
tude toward him had been wholly that
of Bunny. She did not seem to bear
any malice toward him, and she was
always courteous. Eut there was a
gay flippancy in her manner. hard
ness in the way she called him Guard
IAN" and her voice when she spoke
TO him held a hooking quality as
though she were inwardly laughing at
him.
After he had come to his decision to
try Aunt Maude's plan, he made an
effort to win hack her confidence, and.
TO do Mark credit, he was very clever
about 1t.
The first thing that he accomplished
happened at the breakfast table one
morning at one of Jessica's rare ap-
pearanceS for that meal.
They had been bantering back and
forth at each other for time. and
then as JessicaL attacked her poached
eggs, he said. evenly:

She looked up, surprised.
"Really?"
II don't think you'll he so sorry

II suppose you think I'm too old!'
he leased.
"Old, Why, of course, not. I'm
terribly interested. What's she like?
And where does she live2'
it had been since their quarrel, and
Mark was encouraged.

MOSCOW, May 31.--Christianity is
spreading in Soviet Russia despite
the intense activity of the State
Anti-Religion Organization, an un-
official Communist body with branch
es throughout the Soviet Union.
The growth is most pronounced,
according TO government figures, in
the Baptist and Evangelical denomi-
nations.
M. Poutintzev, member of the
Anti-Religion body. attributes the
growth of Christianity to the fact
that young men enroll as Christians
to escape military service.
Under the old regime the religious
aversion to war manifested by men,
bers of these churches was respect
ed bv the imperial government and
the same immunity has been con-
tinued under the present regime.

CAPT. L|NDBERCH
GUEST OF KING
IN HIS PALACE
Air Hero and King Of Great
Britain in Animated Talk
Honor Conferred.

LONDON, May 31.-A young man
with keen eyes and winning smile
called at Buckingham Palace today
and told King Edward how it feels
to fly over the Atlantic Ocean from
New York to Paris.
The King received the visitor cor
daily and decorated him with the
Air Force Cross of Honor.
This seemed to stump the hero.
He flushed for a second and hesitat-
ed as to what to say next but an
other handshake from the King put
him at ease.
The hero and the King sat down
and Capt Charles A. Lindbergh told
the King how it is done, talking most
naturally and in an enthusiastic man
ner.
The King was enthusiastic too and
his kindly eyes twinkled as the
American boy related his experiences.
The King was seemingly much taken
in Capt. Lindbergh's happy, way of
making his points clear. The King
chuckled time again at the visitors
lively animated manner.
