 Judy's first action was a very Judyish one. The room was full of flowers, as usual--a marvellous col lection Of midWinter roses and car nations and lilies.

THE BEAUTY
BOX

Men have better compilations
than women. They seldom have
oily skin or enlarged pores.
What's the explanation? There
are two good guesses. Men get
more muscular exercise. which
means that the digestive organs
perform their work more, nor
mally, and the elimination of
body wastes is active. Second
reason: They have cleaner
skins; they lather their faces
every day and scrape off dirt
as we'll as whiskers. A good
frfsKy facial scrubbing stimu-
lates the functions of the skin,
tones the tissues, sets the blood
streams galloping. Some COM
plexions will not accept soap,
but the average one is benefited
by its daily use.
The lungs should be used to
their full capacity. Air should
be pulled down into the lowest
cells. to wash their walls clean,
and to aerate the blood. Shal.
low breathing is one cause of
skin pallor. 1t does not lift the
chest as it should be, so is re
sponsible for shelvy prominent

puts red tulips in the cheeks,
and carnations, too. 1t is the
cheapest of all cosmetics.

SPARED of her recovery from
the shock.
Mrs. Donahue had been kept
in ignorance of the truth. 1t
was felt that the added shock
Of the frightful news might
prove fatal. Carroll had recov-
cred somewhat from the frenzy
into which he had wrought
himself, and taken charge Of
the household.
DR.. Alwyn came In during
the talk. Dale listened with
keen interest to his report.
Death was due to poisoning

The doctor shook his head.
No marks of any kind"
If there had been weight
Of some kind tied about her,
would it have left a mark?'
"Unquestionably. AS the
gases formed inside. the body
lifted and would have strained
against any cord or rope"
There was nothing more to be
learned and Dale left shortly
thereafter. He hired a launch
and went out to the Sea Gull.
Captain Myatt was not averse
to telling what he knew. It
proved to be very little. One
thing which seemed of small i'm
portance at the time developed,
however, to be of great signifi-
canoe.
Captain Myatt, is it possible
for launch to come alongside
without attracting attention?"

captain shook his head. Twas

everything; No, I'm sure she was
still expectin' to SAIL"
May have a look at the
bridal suite, captain?"
Captain Hyatt led the way to
the cabin Elsie had selected for
the honeymoon. 1t was slightly
aft on the deck level. The cabin
was quite sizeable considering
the size of the yacht. The
feminine touch was discernable
in the appointments. There
were twin beds, overlaid with
pink siIken spreads. Boldly EN-
broidered on each was a sea-
gull in flight.
The baggage still stood in the
room as it had been deposited
on the night of the tragedy.
Three huge wardrobe trunks,
holding within them the trous-
seau of the bride of death.
Quite a number Of pieces of
smaller luggage was streWn
promiscuously about. Dale could
not help telling a twinge of COM
passion as he gaZed upon these
silent, deserted reminders Of a
tragically-ended happiness =
tragedy, the octopus of sorrow,
enfolding always SO many hap
less victims in it's tentacles.
There was nothing to be
found in the cabin. Elsie Dona-
hue had apparently never en-
tered it on the day in question.
They went out on the deck
again. Just before Dale left
the captain made casual re-
mark. ....

Thanks, Captain Myatt: at
present that fact doesn't seem

The next day, being the
eleventh day after the tragedy,
Robin Dale hired a car and
drove to Van Nuys. He went
directly to the ranch owned
by Len Hildreth. He found
Hildreth a talkative old fellow,

Calls Herself a Cave Lady

Calls Herself q Cave Lazy
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I've done something so dread
full that / must tell someone
about it. You're my best bet
as you don't know me. To make
a long story short my husband
and were very happy together
after nine years of married life.
Then the usual happened. A
girl in his office got round
him, flattered him to death,
embroidered him handkerchiefs,
and was forever making him
candy. He took her out In our
car nearly every night and,
sitting at home alone, nearly
went crazy.
One evening she called him
on the phone and I listened in
on the extension. She wanted
him to take her out and he
said he couldn't-had another
engagement. And told her
where, giving her the phone
number. I went to her house
and told her what I thought Of
her, she was very "snooty" to
me-Suddenly the pent up rage
and Jealousy got the better Of
me, and I gave her something
she deserved. She locked me
in and 'phoned for my husband.
She looked a fright when he
came-but the funny part was,
he seemed only to be amused.
He took me home in cab and
burst out laughing two or three
. times. Next day, I began to
pack my things to go away. He
begged me not to, saying he was
likely to lose his job. ] told
him I wasn't a jobholder. I'm
ashamed to say 7 still love him.
CAVE LADY.
This is the first time I've
ever been asked to referee a
case such as you describe and
I feel myself at something Of a
disadvantage. Since you say
you still love your husband, you
will probably "unpack" and
stay without any advice from
me or anyone else. The mem
ory Of your encounter with the
vamp must be a pretty uncom-
Portable ghost to live with, and

garded the affair as a joke

CHAPTER Nv

Robin Dale arrived at Dead
Mans Cove before the body
had been removed. The medical
examiner had already made his
report to Prosecutor Sherid and
Franks, who were. of course,
present. The report was that
the body had been immersed
for probably 10 days (that took
it back to the day of Elsie Don
ahue'S disappearance. but that
there was a question whether
drowning had been the cause
of death. An immediate autopsy
was to be performed to ascer-
tain the truth.
IT wonder would you ask the
medical examiner" Dale said to
Franks when he had heard the
details of the original report,
''to make a careful inspection
of the body for marks of rope
to which a weight might have
been attached. I think you'll
find that's important"
Franks smiled Skeptically.
IT don't see the Importance
of it, Dale, but I'll instruct Doc
Alwyn."

asked.
I'VE had a tough time with
him. Carried on frightfully-
tried to get to the body, but, of
course, the state it's in, that
was impossible. We had to fight
him off. Two of my men took
him back to the house after he
collapsed. It's a nasty business"
There's fiend loose and
you can only hope it doesn't go
any further. Nothing tangible

''No-can't seem to get a

Three o'clock"

CORRECT
MANNERS
MRS. Cornelius Beeckman ]

) Courteous Theater Behavior
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
When a girl is attending a
theater, is it correct for her
to rise as another person
moves to go out? My girl
friend and I have been debat-
ing this subject and have de-
cided to write to you for help.
r. w. NJ.
It is better form for her to
rise, since this is the kinder
thing for her to do, the more
courteous thing. It is really
very difficult in the usual thea
ter for a person going out to
pass a person who is seated. So
we are doing our act of kind
ness and helpfulness If we rise.
And this shows a flexbility of
courtesy that is most pleasant
don't you like it when other
people do this for you? I don't
know Of any other occasion
when it is more true that we
should "do unto others as we
would that they should do to
us"
The Formal Engagement Party
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
When giving an informal en-
gagement party which is to be
a catered affair, would it be
incorrect for the engaged cou-
pie to wear formal evening
clothes? I.
If the party is to be given
in the evening, this form of
dress would be the best of
form. This is a charmnigly
formal occasion and demands
formal attire to do it honor.

they went, so long as Gordon
was back, safe. And now that
he was back, sitting beside her
in the roadster, she grinned at
her own fears, of a moment ago
Here she'd been imaging

was polite, but firm. No, he
had never heard of Cheong.

Cathie looked at Godon and

Cathie said. "He used to come

the Farnsworth home in Pre-

"You must at least have heard
of him. There must be some
way of finding him."
The Chinese gentleman
smiled. "Cheong, my dear sir,
Is Cantonese for ginger-not a
family name at all. I have
no idea who this person could
have been"
But isn't there some way
could trace him?" Gordon per-
sisted. He has done this lady,
my fiancee, and myself a very
great favor. We must find him

his hands with an eloquent ges-

But why? And if he has been
SO kind to us, don't you think he

The Marry-G -GO-Round
BY Helen Rowland

Why Wives Have the Chimes
All that a woman asks of the
man she loves is that he will
SHARE things with her. But,
that is the last thing a man
ever thinks of doing. He would
rather play Santa Claus and
"give her things that he can't
afford, than to share his bust
ness secrets with her.
That is why so many wives
are afflicted with the "giIn.
mes" A man may look upon
his wife as a pet" a liability
or a household utensil; as
cherished possession or a Bit
ter dispensation-but never as
a PAPTNER.
No matter how much money
a woman may be able to
MAKE, or to save, you never
can convince a man that she
knows how to handle it,"
Yet no man and woman can
really know each other until
they have had to SHARE the
same dollar bill! That's why
so many husbands and wives
live and die, total strangers!
A man will tell the woman
he loves all about his past, his
religion, his suffering, his dis
gestion, and his sins-but he
will never tell her anything
about his BUSINESS or his
money.
There seem to be just three
