FOR KIN.
Of GRAY
By EVELYN BOONE

LONG ISLAND CITY. N. T..
April 19.-As the famous Snyder
murder trial gets under way, in.
terest centers on the figure Of a
slim woman dressed entirely in
black.
This woman sits a few feet from
the judges bench. her chin cupped
in her hands, staring at the shift
ing group of prospective jurymen.
at the men who may soon hold her
life in their hands.
She needs no introduction--Mrs.
Ruth Brown Snyder-for there has
scarcely been woman in the his
tory OF crime whose strange nature
has been the subject Of more general
interest.
Yet those who pictured her as q
second Lucretia Borgia received q
shock in the Long Island court
house, where her trial began. Let
US consider words of two men who
sat among the spectators. The
first said:
''She's not as hard looking as /
imagined her to be-"
The second replied:

Whole Expression Has Changed
Mrs. Snyder looked well. very
well. Shortly after her arrest she
was interviewed in d room near her
cell. At that time her eyes were
bitter and haunted. her face drawn
and wan.
But now she looked rested and
healthy. The taut muscles have
relaxed in her face and her express

first experience in a court room
and she is curious as to how the
wheels Of justice begin revolving.
Mrs. Snyder's becoming and mod.
ish costume yesterday was en-
tirely black. Her coat was a
straight line model of Bengaline
silk with a narrow Hudson seal
collar. She wore felt hat that

Chang Kai .Shek has formed

1t is believed that Chang may
attempt to force the Hankow gov.

he will continue his military en-
deavors against the north.

The Hankow government has de-
clared an embargo against silver,
and is reported to be moving troops
to thwart any military movement
against Hankow by Chang.
While anti Communist raids by
Chang supporters are reported sue
cessful in Annoy, Canton and other
centers, the extremists are reported
in full control in Kiangsi province,
taking drastic measures against
their enemies.
The Peking government continues
its military efforts against the Ma.

is indicated that the campaign has
stalemated near Pukow.

the measures of defense have been
relaxed but tense conditions are
still reported along the Yangtse,
especially at Hankow. where Chi.

The dispatch of foreign warships
to Marking and Hanlxow has led
to reports OF a possible naval DEM

Diet in Hotels.

Mrs. James w. writes in distress
because she is getting too stout and
as she spends her life in hotels, often
changing three times a week; dining
on trains or boats, not always able TO
pick anG choose, rarely able to order
what she really wants-she thinks it
impossible to keep slim.
For one thing" she says, my
husband and / spend days and nights
at time on trains, and you know it's
impossible to get any exercise that
way! We are vaudeville people, we
have a singing act, and 1 simply
cannot afford to let my figure go; you
have to look young on the stage"
I see no reason why she should
ever let her figure get beyond the
slim lines of youth. Yet / realize her
difficulties. Mostly they travel by
night, rehearse with the other actors
one morning. play afternoons and
evenings. They stop at inexpensive
hotels, because they are saving money

hotel the more the menus run to
pork and beans and such starchy and
fattening foods.
Well, Mrs. James w. must learn
what foods are not fattening and eat

waits strayed here from the Old
World, where their virtues (and their
vices) are far better known. For the
most part there is no great harm in
the true chenopods, but alas, to this
family, too. belongs the Russian
thistle, established at Alexandria, a
city that boasts, too, another waif of
the curious chenopod family, the

to have been weeds in the streets of
Babylon, and their wild native homes
have never been discovered.

"All alone?" asked the Pope.
"Yes. all alone" lied Tistat.


Yes, all alone," lied Tistet.
The poor mule could not get down.
She wouldn't have gone back down
those winding stairs for anything. In
despair she circled round and round
the tiny platform, growing dizzier and
dizzisr. And she kept thinking of
Tistet Vedene and of the kick she
would give him the next morning, II
she ever got down.
Finally they got her down, but II

What a. disgrace that was for the
mule to be dangling with her feet in
the air for all Avignon to see and
laugh at! She reminded herself that
Tistet would get a good swift kick for
this-what kick! for it's dust should
be seen for miles.
But Tistet was about other bust.
ness. He was floating down the river
on a papal galley, on his way to the
court at Naples, with other young
mobiles, to learn diplomacy and fine
manners. To be sure Tistet was not
noble, but the Pope was rewarding
him for rescuing his mule from her
pertlous perch in the belfry!
The mule was sorely disappointed
when Tistet did not come in the
morning. But she vowed that If he
ever did come he would get the smart
KICK he had coming to him. I'm
keep 1t for you, she said to herself,
and she did keep it for him.
The Pope's mule, ow that Tistet
was gone, returned to her quiet life
ana regular ways. Her spiced wine
came back and she drank it herself.
But, in spite of all that, Avignon was
Nttle cold toward her. They hadn't
forgotten that she had willfully climb.
ed into the belfry-they whispered to
each other. old people shook their
heads sadly and children snickered as
she passed. Even the good Pope
did not have quite the same confidence
IN her as before-he wondered, as he
fell asleep on her back, what il I
should awake to find myself astride
the mule in the belfry?"
Seven years went by. Then Tistet
Vedene returned to secure an an.
pointment to the Pope's household,
because of new vacancy. At first
the Pope did not recognize him, he
had grown so stout, but when he did,
he gave him the appointment. And
then Tistet begged to see the Pope's
mule, saying he had longed to see
her ever since he had left Avignon.
The Pope was touched and said he
should SEQ her on the morrow,
Tistet was impatient for the eere-
mony to complete his appointment,
but there was one more impatient
than he-the Pope's mule. She stun.
cd herself with oats and practiced her
heels on the wall behind her. And
on the morrow Tistet came, and every
one was there for the ceremony. AS
he passed the mule he paused to give
her friendly tap on the back, watch.

The position was exactly right.
The Pope's mule had waited for this
moment-she let fly her heels. 1t was
a kick so terrible that it's dust was
seen for miles, whirlwind wherein
flew the lone feather from Tistet's
cap-al that was left of him. Mules
kicks are not usually too destructive.
but this was Popes mule. and she

Light beige or fiesh.colored stockings
are not so effectively worn with navy

While light stockings are still in
fashion and there seems to be no more
disposition to go back to black stock
