Roger, who was quite an au- thority on postal regulations, told Lois that packages should be put in strong boxes, wrapped with corrugated paper which should be held in place by adhesive paper tape or string.
 The outer wrapping should be of tough paper, preferably of a light color. If dark wrapping pa- per Is used it should have the name and address written on a piece of light paper pasted in place on dark wrapping. Plenty of strong string should be used and 1t should be tied securely.
 The return address should be on both front and back of parcel. And unless the package is going first class'' the string should be the only seal used. Paste, gummed paper tape, even Christmas seals are taboo unless the parcel is marked and has been paid for at the rate of first class mail.

CHAPTER XXxVI

Madame De Torros walked in front of Judy toward the door. The girl noticed the little nervous, jerky, movements of her small dark head, that were due to the weight of her great, pearl-tipped diamond crown.
 At the door she stopped, and, passing Judy, went back to the dressing table, where she removed the ornament, taking out its fas- tenings--about dozen platinum hairpins.
 "It's so heavy" she said. while Judy waited.
 'T'd rather die than wear a thing like that" the girl replied, add ing generously: But you look aw- fully smart in it. You remind me of queen I saw in Rome. She came to the theater. She was aw- fully nice to me-"
 Amicably chatting, the two passed down the staircase into the little paneled room where supper was laid. Gideon awaited them alone.
 'Mr Glyn couldn't come-was prevented at the last minute" he explained. And Gossteivitsch has broken his wrist. His man just telephoned. Awkward thing for him. isn't it? But I expect he's well insured. regret you two ladies will have to put up with me. It's too late to get any one else

"I don't see the girl you're hunting" Bob was saying. "That long affair ahead of us is the place where we're going. The high school owns it and anybody who ever studied there has a right to get up a class party and build 9 fire in the fireplace. It's swell Ever been there?"
 "Often," Sue answered. "The high school owned 1t a few years ago when I was still in school" once more Sue scanned the road for the slim dark figure of Ruth Bradley. Then she gave up as the car swept into the drive way. Music. light, was coming from the building. There was the sound of laughter. Irresponsible voices.
 "As soon as we get inside will you drive back and see If Ruth Bradley's car is all right?" Sue asked Bob. "I hate to take you away from the party, but Ruth will be worried, and someone might steal the car, too. It isn't locked"
 "Yes, I'll go back. It isn't any trouble at all," he answered. He disappeared in few min- utes. Sue, watching the clever way in which Corrinne managed introductions so Harry wouldn't guess that she hadn't been there before, watched the faces uneasily. But the whole crowd was game, They stuck together. After that Sue waited for Bob to come back As soon as she saw his face she knew that something was wrong. NEXT: A mystery.

Let children do their own Christ
 mas shopping.
 l Have you ever been i'll or laid up with a broken leg, or off in EuropA or somewhere and com lpelled to take your holiday large Fly by proxy? Did some good friend or relative go on an orgy of buy ling for yot--wrap all your pres ents, and write your cards and tie up the bundles?
 If you have gone through that
 you know 1t isn't much of a lark. You want to give in your own way,
 work out your own ideas, and get 1 a kick out of buying. Though it | is more blessed to give than to re- ceiye, we don't buy gifts any too often from the divine standpoint, but because in being generous we indulge thousand delightful emo- lions in our own breasts. I'm afraid that human beings are not as thoroughly altfufstic as they
 like to think.
 Children, too. love the excite
 ment of pouring over counters, dawdling in toy stores, counting pennies, choosing their own cards to put in their packages and wrap ping and mailing bundles. They love 1t perhaps for more unselfish reasons than we do: they first nat urally enjoy giving.
 ss..What am I giving Cousin Jean, Mother ?"
 "Oh, I forgot to tell you. saw K the cutest little lamp for only a dollar. It was like a dear little fiower-pot and the flowers in the shade looked exactly like a bou- .quet." | it must be grand"
 No Trouble, No Fun "Well, I thought 1t would save great deal of time and trouble If the store would wrap 1t as a gift and deliver it right to Aunt .Lucy's house. wrote card and put your name on it. with Merry Christmas and so everything s fixed. You needn't worry about 1t
 any more." "Cousin Jean made . big cake and brought it. over on my birth
 day. sort of thought I'd like to take her present over and hand
 1t to her myself"
 "Well, dear. it's gone now. You
 see Mother has to charge your
 things at the store and you're never along"
 T guess she'll know you picked
 it and paid for it. May be she
 won't think it's really from me at all. I. have a dollar"
 "If you give me that, then, I'll
 buy Jays present. I saw book for a dollar he might like" : , "Oh, Jay doesn't like books. I
 thought I'd give him a hammer" "A what?"
 "He lost his hammer out of his
 set. He wants hammer worse than anything"
 Mother shouts with laughter. She goes out and completes the shopping herself. Her boy misses the whole affair. All he knows IS Christmas morning.
 Let children buy queer things to give-that's all right. Some times they have more sense than we have.

 The telephone bell rang through the flat. Gideon rose and went out.
 You're wanted, Thirza," he said to his sister, when he came back.

 What a pot of money!" she said. You shouldn't have been engaged if you didn't want to marry her" "I don't want to marry anybody, Judy. It was a fool idea. I think wanted to make you jealous" "Oh, Ia, la!" The little careless exclamation, half amused, half contemptuous, had hardly left her lips when, quite suddenly, she felt that something was wrong. She did not know what. It was just feeling. She looked at the man by her side. There was something about his eyes that she didn't like. He was breathing heavily. One large. flashy hand was straying on the back of her chair.
 Judy knew the signs. She kept her head.

Life has slowed down . bit this year, for most people. There is mora quiet lhome-enteftaining, more quiet evenings at home with no en- tertaining. This should have Q real effect on the beauty of America's women.
 While on the one hand, every body was keyed up to looking her best when life was at its swiftest, in other years, there was net time to do a thorough job of 1t.
 The first evening you have left open, why not dedicate it to beau- ty and just take stock of what as- sets you have and what you should do about it. This time of year is the logical time for inventory.
 First of all, canvass your stock of beauty lotions. Everybody has some bottles or boxes or jars that have been sitting there for ages. If you do not intend using them, get rid of them. Discard what you do not want. A cluttered beau- ty closet is a bad start towards clear beauty.
 Next, look yourself squarely in the face. See if your cnln IS aS firm as it was last year. If it is not, give yourself your first chin treatment. Massage it. ice it, use astringent on it, bind 1t up and leave 1t that way for a half hour If you would do this nightly, you would see results.
 Next, observe your eyes. Are there circles around them and do they lack luster? Analyze what the reason for this might be. Do not just think about 1t. Do something! They will only get worse unless you take action immediately.
 Check on your skins condition, your hair, your fingernails and your hands. Have an excellent strong light and good mirror. Once this inventory is taken, your task IS to rectify anything that Is wrong. Why not make New Years resolution

"what did Corrinne say?" Sue asked Bob.
 The boy hesitated. His face flushed. Sue knew that he had revealed more than he had thought he was telling.
 Far behind them there came the soft, luxurious purr of Harry's car. He was driving slowly. Sue knew why. He had been asked to be careful of bumps. Corrinne would manage that. She didn't want to meet Ruth Bradley. She wanted Sue to get that problem solved.
 Suddenly Sue was angry. She spent most of her time getting Corrinne out of escapades, she told herself. But Bob hadn't an- swered her question.
 What did Corrinne say?" she repeated.
 "Oh, nothing at all. was just doing some calculating. let my imagination run loose at the time."
 "Corrinne did say something ' Sue insisted stubbornly. "She led you to believe that Harry fell in love with her and that I let him go for her sake, didn't she?" At the startled look on the boys face she knew she had struck the truth. She went on recklessly. ''It made the situation more dramatic Corrinne wanted to impress you" Sue stopped. She was talking about Corrinne! And such 8 few minutes before she had been thinking how beautiful she and Corrinne had got along together She had been rejoicing that they hadn't had any conflicts like Ruth and Sally Bradley. That was be- cause they had never wanted the same thing, perhaps, she thought duly now. And with it came an- other thought, Had Corrinne fall en in love with Harry and delib- erately set out to win him not knowing if she, Sue still cared

The parcel postman handed Lois package. You're lucky ma'am to get that package. It is almost a wreck. Wonder why people don't do up parcels properly"
 Lois kept the package just as it arrived to show it to Roger. "The postman said we were lucky to get this, Roger, and I think he's right. Just look at it"
 The pastboard box which held the gift was crushed and caving in. It had not been very strong to start with and since it was un- protected by any corrugated board 1t had fiattened under pressure of other packages in the mail sack. The wrapping paper was a piece of old, crinkled dark paper taken from some other package. The writing was almost illegible. It was weak and spidery and writ ten with pale ink.

 And then her high spirit and her almost insane excitement made her call out in soft mockery:

 She caught, flying taxi, and when she reached her hotel, she found that she had been crying bitterly without knowing it.

 WILD LIFE PROBLEM

Conservation of wild life in AL aska will be the subject of an in- vestigation to be made by a special committee of the United States Senate which sailed from Seattle 10 days ago on the United States Bureau of Fisheries patrol boat Penguin.
 The committee will go to the Pribilof Islands of Bering Sea, home of Uncle Sam's great seal herds; to the Alaska ranges, where the giant Alaska moose roam, and to Kodiak Island, noted for it's huge bear.
 The party will be in charge of Henry O'Malley, commissioner of fisheries, Washington, D. C., and will consist of Senator Fred C.. Walcott of Connecticutt, chairman of the Senate committee on wild life resources; Congressman Albert E. Carter of California, Charles P. Sisson and Charles B.

DO YOU.
 CONSTIPATION :?

Countless remedies are advertised for constipation. Many relieve for the moment but they are habit form ing and must be continued. Others contain calomel and dangerous min eral drugs, which remain in the sys- tenn, settle in the joints and cause aches and pains. Some are harsh purgatives which cramp and gripe and leave a depressed after effect.
 Avoid lubricating oils which only grease the intestines and encourage natures machinery to become lazy.
 A purely vegetable laxative such as Carter's Little Liver Pills, gently touches the liver. bile starts to flow. the bowels move gently, the intestines are thoroughly cleansed and constipa- ton poisons pass away. The stomach. liver and bowels are now active and the system enjoys a real tonic effect. All druggists sell genuine red ptgs.
