For hours of leisure we want,
above all, comfort. And COM
fort means pyjamas. But
leisure hours at any time of
day or night need as much
fashion as busy hours do. We
can't get by with throwing on
any old thing that's handy
and still feeling at ease when
an unexpected or invited guest
drops in. And there's the rub
the combination of comfort
and fashion in the new py-
jamas. It's why we're plan
ming to wear them more this
season than We ever have be-
fore. The new ones in the
stores have everything we'd

Listerine helps to dissolve oily
crusts and quickly removes them, as
well as horny scales. And Listerine
quickly relieves that burning, itch
ing sensation. 1t soothes infamed or
irritated areas of the scalp.
If scalp is excessively dry, a little
olive oil may be used in connection
with the Listerine shampoo, or indie

CHAPTER 7


Peter had exaggerated some
what when he insisted that
had an awful load on my slim
shoulders because it wasn't so
much of a burden.
The Miers had increased my
wages twice. 1 was earning
enough to keep us going. We
moved from the old apartment
that had been our home for
SO long. We got a smaller one,
kitchen, bedroom and living
room. Cora had the bedroom
for herself and two kiddies.
We ate in the living room and
at night I slept there. This
cut down the rent one-haf.
They were mighty nice to
me at the Miers establishment,
offering all sorts of help, but
I had an independent streak,
and so long as I didn't actually
need money I was glad to re-
fuse.
I either got dresses from Mrs.
Miers at wholesale or else ma
terials from her. Cora was a
won6- -rful hand at making
dresses, for she had been a de-
signer of dresses before she
married.
The New Woman
A few days later when I got
home Cora introduced me to a
dear, sweet-faced, gray-haired
woman.
This is Mrs. Harmon, Kitty"
Cora said. "She is going to do
OUR little housework here and
take care of the babies for me-"
II looked at Cora in amaze
ment. Had she gone suddenly
daffy with ideas about maid?
Cora seemed to read my
thought, for she laughed.
I'm going to work tomor-
row." she said, happily.
But Coral stopped then,
I wouldn't argue before Mrs.
Harmon.
When I got her alone I began
to cry.
do you think I can't take
care of you," I sobbed. IF you
go to work now you'll break
down. You aren't strong yet"
I'm all well, and I am going
to work for Miers Creations.
Mrs. Miers came to see me about
it yesterday-all on account of
that dress I made for you," and
Cora named her wages. She
was proud and happy. She in
sisted that it was time she
helped and her salary was sur
prisingly large. She was to get
even more if she progressed.
I'm going to save and put my
boy through college," she as
sured me.
"You are only 25-you'll be
getting married again" I told
her.
Cora was getting along splen-
didly at her designing work.
And then, one night when I
came home from a dinner with
Thad I found a Mr.. Parker
there. Cora introduced me.
There was a flush on her
cheeks, a light in her eyes,
that limited much when Mr..
Parker, during our talk, told
me that he had been a great
friend of Dick Daniels, Cora's
husband, and had often visited
them and dined with them. I
began to suspect that he was
sweet on Cora.
An Offer of Marriage
I was right about it. Cora
admitted it.
Mack" she said, meaning
Mr.. Parker, was always honest
about it--he never made love
to me when Dick was alive, but
before. both of us he said a
hundred times that it was a
good thing Dick saw me first
or he would have married me-"
"And now?" I asked.
Hes asked me-" sister ad-
mlCCeQ, ana am thinking II
over"
Go to it, old dear, if you
love him. I can take care of
myself, you know"
IT know" she answered.
Right after this the fashion
show opened.
Sister Cora was there in our
department, fitting, arranging,
helping us change from gown
to gown.
On the very first evening
Thad was there with Curt and
Susie Lawlor, and of course,
the ever-preSent Airline Sargent
was tagging along. It surprised
me that Susie Lawlor didn't

Somebody is always predict

EVANGELIST SLA|N1
BY PREDECESSOR
Minister, 81, in Jail as Mis-.
souri, Coroner's Jury Begins
Inquiry Into Killing.

BY the Associated Press.
NEVADA. Mo-, April 6.-The re.
united congregation OF little log
church at Halleys Bluffs mourned TO-
day as a coroner's jury took up the
shooting of Rev. George Rider, Kansas
City evangelist, at the home Of its for
mer pastor, Rev. j. A. Brown.
The evangelist. 43, mortally wounded
on a mission of peace, died here yes
terday praying for forgiveness for Mr..
Brown, a 67-year-old veteran Of the
ministry, who was held in the Vernon
County Jail.
II wish was dead, too" the prisoner
said.
A pail was cast over their little
church in the white oak clearing. The
men and women in its homemade peWs
worshiped in sorrow under cridely
painted motto:
Christian Union without contro-
versy."
Webster Hanett, prosecuting attok-
ney, said the motive of the shooting
hinged on the success Of services Mr..
Rider had conducted during the last
three weeks in the non-denominationA
pulpit which Mr.. Brown resigned last
December. Sixteen persons were con-
verted in a revival that restored hGr-
mony to the church.

Mr.. Brown compliment In asking him
to conduct Easter services. The former
pastor refused. =
The evangelist was shot in the back
and left side as he returned with Mrs
Rider to his motor car. Dropping to his
knees, he prayed for his assailant. &
IT would rather go back to Kansas
City in box" he said, than to leave
this community while there Is so much
bad feeling in it,
G. P. McCumber. deputy sheriff and
q member of the church, arrested the
former pastor. Authorities said he hAd
told several versions Of events leading
up to the shooting. ~
He was quoted as saying insistenee

year.
Many folk dances were on the pro-
gram last year at the suggestion OF
Mrs. Hoover and the entertainment
today consisted largely Of these pic
turesque features. Members of the Dis
trict Council, Boy Scouts of America,
formed circle under the trees on the
White House lawn and spectators
grouped themselves around the arena.
Shortly before IL o'clock the play
ground department OF the District
public schools presented two Swedish
folk dances and one English folk dance,
all in costume. They we're followed by
Girl Reserve dancers dressed in overalls
and gingham gowns. The girls did the
Virginia Reel and an old-fashioned
barn 0ance.
The program this afternoon begins at
2 o'clock, with dancers from the Friend
ship House presenting features entitled
THE Dance PAN" alice Blue Gown"
Dancing Bears" and. THE Minuet." At
2:40 o'clock the Girl Scouts of the Dis
trict were to present number of Swed-
ish folk dances, followed at $3.50 by
concert by the United States Marine
Band.
The Hoover children were the central
figures of an Easter party consisting of
almost 200 younger members of Wash
ington's official families. The daugh-
ters and sons of cabinet officers and
high Government officials had been in
vited to the party in the White House,
where they were served ice cream and
cake. They later issued to the south
portico and from there watched eagerly
while the larger party was in progress
on the south lawn. officials at the
White House expressed surprise at the
size of the attendance in view of the
unfavorable weather. The parents
seemed undaunted by the rain and their
children disregarded it altogether, roll
ing eggs upon the grass and playing
happily while elders looked on.
AS the rain stopped, Peggy Ann and
Herbert, III, whom his grandparents
call Peter, tripped out to the bandstand
and told about their Easter for the
talkies.
Miss Janet Large of California, Mrs.
Hoover's niece, held Peggy AIMS hand.
Uncle Charley" as the children know
Boris the Presidents valet, led Peter.
Did you get any Easter eggs?" the
cameraman asked.
I'VE had IL big pretty ones!" Peggy
Ann exclaimed smiling.
And were they lot of fun?"
"Oh, yes, lots!" they chorused.
Then they were lifted down from
the platform. They smiled and waved
and greeted scores of children who
crowded around them and escorted
them back to the mansion.

BINGHAM RAPED
ON TAX INCREASE
Watson, George and Other
Leaders Hit Plan to Hoist
Income LevieS.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
fractional leaders of Congress looked
with little favor today on the proposal
by Senator Bingham that income taxes
be increased and extended to curb gov
ernmental extravaganza.
The Connecticut Republican no
sooner had made his statement favor
ing a blanket increase in levies and an
extension to smaller incomes than re-
sponsible members of both the Senate
and House objected.
Senator Watson OF Indiana, the Re-
publican floor leader, said II am OPP
posed to any further taxation because
don't think 1t is necessary under ex-
isting conditions"
Senator Norris of Nebraska, an indie
pendent Republican leader, asserted
that, while he would not object to a
hike If the expected $700 900 900 deficit
materialized, 1.-The increase should be
applied in inheritance taxes and on the
higher brackets, or larger incomes"
Harris Rejects Idea.
Senator Harris Of Georgia, ranking
Democrat on the Senate Appropriations
Committee, said:
IT am opposed to Senator Bingham's
plan in toto"
Representative La Guardia Of New
York a House independent leader, pre-
dicted there would be an increase, but
added:
There will be no lowering Of the
present tax exemption and that is lust
as certain as day follows night The
tax increase in the next Congress will
be such that Senator Bingham and his
half dozen in the Senate surely will
vote against"
Leaders Oppose Increase.
Senator Binghan's proposal was the
first in discussions Of the approaching
500, 900 900 deficit to suggest tax de-
mands be made on smaller incomes.
Some legislators have said they would
favor increasing the levies on bigger
incomes, while leaders Of both parties
and in both houses have insisted
greater taxes will not be necessary.
Others have admitted that any agi-
tation for tax increase at the next
session would be embarrassing to both
parties because Of the economic situa-
ton and the approaching presidential
election.
President Hoover believes an increase
will not be necessary If Congress re-
strictS appropriations. Republican
Leader Tilson of the House thinks an
increase is not now needed and should
not become mandatory.
Members of both major parties have
promised to cooperate to keep down
expenditures at the next session, thus
eliminating need for more money.
