By Adele Garrison

Ars,yal of . Woman Member Of the
 Kerellos Compltcates Harry's Dc
 toctive Job.
 It was several hours before Harry Underwood came back to the apart ment after his theatrical exit. and though Lillian. l know. was ex- tremely anxious about him. she kept a strictly poker face as she helped me with my preparations for the announcement dinner the next day. and l think no one else Of our strangely assorted group save Dicky realized her suspense. But when at last her husband appeared, there was that in her eyes as she looke,' at him which made me turn my own away quickly. for her loving. loyal soul was mirrored in them. and felt that the picture was for her husbands eyes alone.
 He gave he: one swift. flasrsNe glance, his own eyes alight, then nodded, and turned to Dicky who was in our apartment with Lillian
  national quartet still clung to the bridge table in tn. Underwood apartment.
 T told you I'd overlooked a bet" , he said but with jubilance in his voice which told me that 1t was no longer hidden from him. Its a good looking one, too in the room on the other side of the hall. but directly opposite the tiger trap.
 "A woman member of the gang Dicky said incredulously.
 A smart Move
 The same. and most plausible dame. too." Harry returned. She completely fooled the hotel people, asking for a room high up at the rear of the house where it would be quiet, because she was writer, do- ing a story about New York for a magazine. She had a folding type writer. n everything, blew in few minutes after the man we've been watching came in. We've checked up and found that he telephoned 1TOUl lIlC pay uoVtA III lh0 ui NA store immediately after checking in. No doubt he told her the num- ber of his room. and she lost no time in getting here. She was pret- ty foxy. asked to look at several of the rooms. and picked one on an- other floor at first. Then she found some fault with it and asked to be changed. finally selecting the one she has now. She's in mighty strategic position, from the stand point of the piotters, she's where she can see the door of the tiger trap by leaving her own slightly ajar-and it's been ajar most of the day. and the rooms on the fire-escape, so that it can be tho emergency exit I prophesied our advance agent of the plotters was preparing"

Of course we know you've cinched the fact that the lady is a member of the gang" Dicky said, but for the love of Mike unstrap the brief case and give us q line on how you did it."
 Trailing the Woman
 Tt was very simple" his friend answered. Ut took patience. Re- member. they're under no suspicion that they're being watched, so they're only taking ordinary precau- tions And the house detective anu l, from different vantage points watched the supposed writer's door partly ajar until the door of the room next the tiger trap softly opened and the man put his head out making sure that the hall was empty. As far as he could see, there was no one to opserv- him and he gave little cough and then came out of his room with some letters in his hands stamped for mailing. She did the same thing and they walked toward the elevator, ap- parently oblivious of each osner. But I saw her give quick giance around, and then thrust a paper into his pocket as she stood near him in front of the elevator. Then they gave their letteAs 10 lne' ele- Nator boy with not glance toward each other. and went back to their respective rooms. to all appearances strangers, the woman having rath- CT supercilious attitude"
 Marking Time
 Then you have two to deal with" Lillian said. anXiously.
 No. only the woman to watch" her husband told her. The man rented the room for a month. but left this afternoon, turning in his key and saying he would be gone week. Of course the woman has the duplicate Key ana she's planted to keep watch and find out when IS the best time for them to srr,xe. We'll take no chances, but I think we can collect our nerves bit. The hour the real goods appear. the fel- lows they've selected to do the heavy stuff. then will be time enough for us to gird on our strusty side arms. Until then let's forget all melodrama. Tell me what's my part in this pink tea tomorrow night"
 I think the others shared the feeling 1 had of suddenly being re- lieved of a heavy burden. waved my hand toward Lillian.
 There's the mistress of cere. monies," I told her husband. "You'l take your orders from her. But I can tell you that you have most important role"

NOT A DOGS LIFE By Alice Judson Peale

The highest virtue to which d puppy may attain is to grow up to be an obedient dog.
 If he but learns to obey his mas- ter's voice his life will be as gay and carefree as a dogs life can be. He never will lack dinner and a warm place 10 lie. He need only come when he is called to be as- sured of a cheerful existence in which no needs are unfulfilled.
 But to humane children obedience brings no such rewards. They grow up to be men and women who live in a world in which obedience will get them little that is worth having. The good things of life are allotted not to those who do as others tell them. but to those who think and lct for themselves. The obedient soul eats scanty fare and sleeps on a hard bed.
 Men and women must make de- cisions and stand by them. They must know what they want and cling to it despite criticism and op- position. The ultimate goal for which we are training our children is not a dogs life but one of self direction and self reliance.
 The value of obedience in the life of child should not be over estimated. It is not an end in itseJ only a means to an end. The child needs to obey, but only in those matters in which his own judg- ment is not yet sufficiently devel- oped to permit independent action.
 AS he grows older there should be fewer and fewer occasions when mother knows best" until at last the element of obedience has en- tirely disappeared from the rela- tion of parent and child. and there remain only friendship and a mu- tual respect.

Mary Brian Gives Mouth Deft Care

Next to the eyes. the mouth is the most outstanding feature Of the face. Being. generally. rouged into brilliance. it is often the focus of our companions gaze, especially when we talk.
 There is more to making up the mouth than merely running q lip- stick over the lips" Mary Brian ex- plains. Because of the vivid shades of most lip rouges, one must be careful to blend the color skiilfuliy to avoid | harsh outline.
 Before beginning to make up tn. mouth, he sure the lips are soft and smooth. Nothing is uSlier than rough, chapped lips. A white lip- stick is soothing to chapped lips and. if used consistently, will nor only cure but prevent chappinE.
 Make Up the lips Last of All
 An oily. moist rouge is prefer able to dry, It is prettier on the lips and also is more easily applied. Spreading dry lipstick on the lips will cause them to wrinkle. Never make up the lips until the rest of the face is made up.
 y prefer to use a cream rouge, to be applied to the lips with a finger. rather than lfpstic~. Whichever is used, begin on the in side of the lip, blending the color to the qnrn4 all 0yer the line p,,t on lots at first. then wipe off the surplus. Keep blending until it is srpooth and lovely. Powder over the mouth and wet the lips again with the tongue to remove the pov- der. This will give a natural ex- pression and remove any harshly- drawn edges"

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 geia, the Health Magazine

When a person is sensitive to various protein substances, he is likely to manifest that sensitivity by reactions in the way of various symptoms when the protein gets into the body.
 Some people break out every time they eat strawberries. Thta does not mean that there is any thing wrong with strawberries. but there is something special about the person who breaks out which makes him react to s.raw- berries.
 Among other symptoms result ing from sensitivity besides rash on the skin. there may be swell ing Of the lips or of other por- tions of the body. shortness of breath due to contractions of the breathing tubes and filling up to the tubes with fluid. When a doc tor is called to see such case. he tries to find out first the na- ture of the substance to which the person may be sensitive.
 Illness of the type described have resulted in some people from hair. feathers, flax, the dandruff contact with milk, eggs, animal Of various animals. ana aii sorya of food substances. A person who is sensitive may be affected by an infinitesimal amount of the sub stance that is concerned in the attack. As much as one-ten,n o1 a cubic centimeter Of soiu;ron oi 1:10,00o parts of the substance may be sufficient to produce SC. were reactions in a sensitive per son.
 A man who is sensitive tc | some substance in connection with glue was injec,ed under the skin with one one-hundredths of | cubic centimeter Of glue and he had symptoms violent enough to cause worry as to whether ol not he would live
 When specialist tries to find out the nature of the substance | to which a person is sensible, h: makes a skin test In the skiT I tset. a very small amount of tn. substance is put on scratch which is made on the skin. anG the reaction to this procedure |. compared with the amount of re action on a scratch to which sim. pie salt water or some simila. substance has been added. In thi. way it is found that people ar. sometimes sensitive to grea many different protein substances.
 After the nature of the sens1 tivity is determined, the mex step is to disensitize the person if possible. Unfortunately, it i. l not always possible to do this be cause of various conditions tha exist in the body. If the symp toms are severe. the physicia, can relieve him by the use O various drugs which have the spe cial effect of making the breath ing easier and of relaxing tn. constricted breathing tubes, whicl are in spasm.

It had come to the ears of Chat terer tho Red Squirrel. over in the Green Forest. that his big cousin, Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel. was all puffed up with pride and vanity because he had fought and whipped Robber the Rat. It had come 10 chatterer's ears that Happy Jack was doing great deal of boasting.
 'I'n run over and see that fel- low" thought Chatterer. ''I'll see If he will boast to me. If he does, I'll teach him . lesson."
 So Chatterer the Red Squirrel went over to the Old Orchard and in no time at all he found Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel What B this I hear about your"
 About mel" exclaimed Happy Jack. What have you heard about me?"
 That you met Robber the Rat snd he chased you up a tree" said Chatterer maliciously. He knew just what effect it would have on happy Jack
 Who told you that?" demanded Happy Jack. Who told you that7 l did meet Robber the Rat. but he didn't make me climb any tree. He was the one who ran. l half killed that fellow. He was glad enough to sneak down into his hole and he hasn't been seen since. The idea of oh .,Id make me run. It would take some one twice as pig as Robber to make me run
 T want to know" drawlcd Chat terer. My. how brave you are. It must be fine 10 be so brave and be admired so by everybody and have such a fine opinion of ones self. My, my. my. it must be wonderful to be so bold and brave."
 And then. without any warning whatever. Chatterer the Red Squir- rel suddenly rushed at Happy Jack. grating those sharp little teeth o- his and looking like A n'lle red fury. Happy Jack simply turned tail and ran. r wasn't that he was afraid Of Chatterer. He was .wic- as big as Chatferer, So it wasn't fear that set him to running. It vas annoyance. Happy Jack Is clumsy beside G's..-, wing little Chatterer. and he EnoWs fl. If Chatterer would fight as Robber the Rat had fought. Happy Jack would welcome fight But this Chatterer will not do. Happy Jack knew it and he knew how impossible if would be for him to get hold of Chatterer. So he made the mis.a..- of running away.
 Almost at once Chatterer vas al heels. From tre-.op 70 ffeetop down one trunk. across the ground and up anothe, trunk ra ced Happy Jack with Chatterer al his heels. All the little people in the Old Or chard saw Ii. He who so short a time before had been a hero, was now acting very much like co" ard. He who had boasfed that he would fight Black Pussy the Ca was running from on. hardly half his size. All the feathered foln

gathered about and began to jeer It was just exactly like what hap. pens when soap bubble bursts. Happy Jacks bubble of vanity had burst. And the worst of it was that he had to keep on running, becau>~ that pest of little cousin or his was right at his heels and woult give him no peace.
 All through the Old Orchard they raced and finally over into the Green Forest. There. satisfied with what he had done, Chatterer gave up the chase and went off homa and about his business. Happy Jac<. looking very much crestfallen, ashamed. and very, very sneepfsn. stole baf k to rejoin his family ana try to explain why he had run from Chatterer. He soon discovered that such things are difficult to ex- plain.
