tons don't fall off the first time they
fasten them. Their trousers are
made the right length without an
extra charge.
For it is plain to be seen that the
men would never put up with the
sort of thing which we endure in
buying our clothes. Can you imag-
inc their language IL they had to
take their trousers home and sew in
the hem? And how they would
snort at the idea OF having to alter
the set Of the sleeves. Their clothes
are much better made than ours, and
even their cheapest things hold to-
gether.
When you consider that women
pay at least twice as much for half
the value for their clothes, 1t does
look as If they could be scwed up
right before they are sold.

why" asks Judge Allen. "are
women who buy ready made dresses
expected to take them home and sew
them over before they can be worn?"
A lot of us have wondered about
that in the past.
How many times have you tried
on a dress and had the saleslady
glibly suggest that 1t would be the
easiest thing in the world for you
to cut the neck to fit. or take in the
waist, or lengthen the hem? OF
course, II the store alters the dress
to fit you, they add several dollars
to the original cost Of the garment.
Sewing in the hem, which should
certainly be done If you buy a dress,
nearly always costs you a dollar
extra. The tiniest alteration is
charged for.
In other words, although you pay
what is asked for the garment, you
scarcely ever get one that is COM
pleted. You always have to get out
your needles and sew on 1t a BIT
The snaps are generally all ready to
drop off, and the buttons are never

Everything I ate sickened me,

my mother had been a user of
Black -Draught, so one time, while I
was at hcme visiting, she asked me
why I did not try Black-Draught. I
had never taken it regularly-just

and how far to go with them; an
ability to get just the right angle to
a hat that made you look twice, she
produced only soothing and pleasur-

But, kithin the bosom of her fam

count. Anything that happened to
be within reach, from brothers mo-

a costume when at home.

25, 1926, Miss Lane is to inherit un-
conditionally."
District Attorney Banning, an alb
sorbed spectator Of the entire drama
Of the inquest, nodded with approv-
al. He was to hold a few trump
cards.
Both Jim Lane and Junior were
questioned, but perfunctorily, since
it was quite evident that they knew
nothing whatever about the death Of
the aged lawyer.
A note from DIR. Atkins, briefly
outlining Mrs. Lanes serious illness
and telling of her removal to a hos
pital. was read by the coroner when
her name was called. Faith. sensi-
tive to every reaction from the
densly packed audience, knew that
her mothers dangerous illness won
still more sympathy for the girl who
had already been indicted by public
opinion.
Alexander Cluny and his son,
Ralph, were called, and testified that
they had been with the murdered
lawyer in his home early on Thanks
giving day, and that he had been in
unusually good spirits. Both testi-
fed that they knew of no enemy who
could have desired the death Of
Ralph Cluny.
At 4 o'clock the coroner abrupt
ly announced that he had concluded
his investigation. The six men of
the jury retired, with DR.. Murchison,
to the library Of the Cluny house for
deliberation.

heart into a corner OF the drawing

Charles Reilly Neft, junior member
Of the law firm of Cluny & Neff, was
middle-aged man who looked more
like a gentleman prize fighter than
lawyer. Faith knew that he had
almost as many court victories TO
his credit as had his more famous
partner, Ralph Cluny. The two men
had been not only partners in their
profession, but the closest of friends
in private life.
The first significant question that
Coroner Murchison asked was like a
bombshell in that breathlessly quiet
room:
Did you recently assist the de-
ceased, Mr.. Ralph Cluny, in the
drafting Of his last will and testa-
ment?"
II did"
