Hello, beautiful ladyw said Pat
to his daughter Tony, and with his
greeting Tony knew that the shadow
of the woman with whom he had
lunched was between Shem, and
that nothing real would be said and
Pat would not be really Pat until
that shadow had been dispelled.
Hello, handsome father" said
Tony, have a chair and your best
friend and severest critic'll order

marion cakes You're past the age
when your waistline matters-lucky

"She was sorry. too. but she had

avoiding TonyS eyes. He was OBJ
viously relieved when the marion
cakes arrived.
BLACK coffee, too, please" he told
the waitress, while Tony waited.
"Is she still teaching at Brad
ley?" Tony asked, trying to make
her voice casual.
Pat obviously was relieved that
Tony had taken the helm of the
conversation.

ago; she's teaching French and
playing the market here. That's
how it al started" he flushed at
his slip and was silent.

on, you're taking lessons from her

Pat gave her a quick look, for the
sarcasm in Tony's voice was I'M
mistakable.

Tony went on mercilessly, and
wouldn't mind few lessons my
self. Or is her clientele very select?"
Tony could have bitten her tongue
out as soon as it was said. She was
only thankful that she had stopped
before adding land limited only to
the stronger Sex?"
This was no way to handle a
father. Poor tired old Pat needed
help, not censure! What chance
would condolences have if she got
sarcastic?
But Pat had turned the trick him
self. Suddenly he had turned about
squarely facing her, his eyes on
hers, one big hand over her snail
twitching one.
"Tony, daughter, I want to talk
with you. Will you ditch any aft

"At your service, Dad" said Tony

of what was to be demanded of her
as daughter-not only Pats
daughter, but dear, dumpy Pegs
daughter, too.
Tony always laughed to see Pat
in the little leaf green roadster he
had given her on her twentieth
birthday.
"You look just like a Rumpel-
stiltskin in a pumpkin SHE'LL" she
told him now, trying to bring a
livelier note into the atmosphere as
she threaded her way in and out of
downtown Stanton traffic.

turned the car toward The Corners

Length of Beard Fixes
Death Hour of Murders

After months of investigation,
they have discovered that the beard
of the average man grows at that
rate each hour. BY tracing the
movements of man during the
period Immediately preceding his
death, and especially the time when
he either shaved himself or visited
his barber, the intervening period
can now be calculated to a remark
able nicely.
The long series of measurements
obtained, most of which were among
prisoners, seem to discount the old
theory that ones hair grows faster
during the night than in daytime.
They also show that there is only
rare foundation for the idea that
firsute development continues after
death.
