NEW YORK, Feb. Slime
for a spring hat! And that's a
pleasant idea. Because even If
folks do put on spring hats be-
fore they put on any other part
Of the spring costume, it means
that spring is on the way.
This first spring hat problem
REQUIRES more careful thought
than any other article of a
spring wardrobe.
This new spring hat may look
a bit strange to you when you
first try it on. Because it's
built, as are. all fashionable
spring hats, to show a lot of
your hair. And it's only lately
we've been seeing much Of hair
when hats are on.
Forehead Exposed
It will sit well back on your
head, leaving most Of your
forehead exposed-if it's put
on right, and if it fits you
right. It will probably have a
rather irregular line around the
forehead. And that makes it
easier to wear than hat with
a straight, even line.
There are scores of little brim-
less hats that have these details.
We've Sketched only one-but
It's a good one, if it looks as well
on you. (Shown at the right in
the illustration9
Another hat that fits the win
ter coat collar and IS a smart
spring fashion is the tricorne-
three cornered-or the bicorne-
two cornered.
These hats have brims, to be
sure. but they turn back to form
these two or three points, and 30

but her memory will be ever

MY role consisted Of walking
In front Of the camera in ex-

dropping my handkerchief when
directly in the middle Of the
stage. That concluded my part
for the first day and I was
told to return the next.
Alas! the next day never
came. Annette and I quarrelled
about something that night
some incoI1sequential thing
which don't even remember
and she wouldn't lend me her
dress.

Mack Sennett lost a prospective

though it almost broke my heart
to stay away.
Three more doleful and
hungry weeks went by. I was
broke, but my stubborn pride
wouldn't let me write home for
money. :,
I was in a quandary. I didn't
know where to turn. And, in
seeking a solution to my prob
lens, I narrowly escaped totter'
ing over the edge Of the crater
of disaster.

one sketched above at the left.
They're just as good a fashion
for spring, when they're in
spring materials.
New Materials
And spring hat materials are
different, too. Lots Of straws and
lots Of fabrics-tricots and mix
lures Of straws and fabrics.
These spring straWS - the
newer ones-are rough, but not
extremely so. Just rough enough
to make them look interesting.
Another new idea is the mix
ture of straw with cellophane
or a mixture of visca and wool.
And do you know what this
does? It gives the hat a half
dull, half shiny look that's
different from anything you've
ever seen in hats.
Unusual Brims Apparent
If your winter coat collar
isn't big and outstanding so
it would interfere with a
brim, then you may like one

The easiest thing possible for

Still, while she had been in

CHAPTER 54


Stealing along on slippered
feet, Connie a nd Carson
reached the end Of the hall
where one flight Of stars led
upward, and another down. In
the offset formed by the land
ing there was no trace Of an
intruder.
Comics voice was hushed:
Someone disappeared right
here"
"sure?"
II was quite wide awake"
His fingers clutched around
her arm protectingly.
1T looks like something is
beginning to STIR" he whispered.
There's not a chance in a hun
dred that you're going to get
hurt, dear, but won't you-to
please me-go back to your
room?"
Her lips defied him, tenderly,
adventurously: perversely, she
took a delight in showing him
that she had no feminine tim
idity. AS a matter of fact, she
had not the slightest fear, be-
cause her faith in his courage,
his resourcefulness was with
out end.
To have him near-to be
with him always
I'm going to stay-right with
you'll" she whispered stubbornly.
Her firm insistence for an
instant amused him and there
was quirk Of a smile on his
lips.
A Brave Man
How brave she was! How dear
she'd become to him
"All right, follow me-" he
murmured. "Just minute

whoever it was could have
gone either upstairs or down
stairs" she informed him,
softly.
Carson did not answer her at
once, but stood silent and erect.
In the half light he was a
strange, almost bizarre figure
in his silk pajamas, his slippers
and the long, tailored-looking
bathrobe. Despite his tall slen-
derness, the wide shoulders Of
Duke Carson bespoke compe-
tent strength. His hair, ruffled
from the pillow, gave him an
aspect Of wildness, new to
Connie.
THAT door-what Is it?"
In her familiarity with the
house, Connie had overlooked
the door set in the flat jog Of
the wall. Her eyes we're so
used to it that 1t had produced
no impression at all. Besides,
there was nothing to pique the
imagination, no suggestion Of a
hiding place. Behind the door
was a shallow closet no more
than 18 or 20 inches deep and
as wide only as the door itself
"a receptacle for brooms, dust
clothes and fuzzy mops for
hardwood.
"The mop closet, but it's too
small"
At the Door
Carson stepped closer to the
door until the toe Of his foot
rested against it-obviously a
preparation against any pos
sible outward plunge from who

MARBECK EXCUSED
IN POLICE court
Allen Says Evidence Failed to
Justify Charge Against
Defendant

Mike MArbeck, charged with assault
with . dangerous weapon in connec-
ton with the shooting September / Of
John Martin and his three-year-o old
daughter, Elizabeth, was exonerated
in police court Saturday by Police
Judge E. s. Allen.
The charge was dismissed and the
bond of 81, 1000, under which Marback
has been at liberty since the shooting,
was cancelled.
In explaining his action, Allen said
the evidence presented at the hearing
did not justify a charge that Marbeck
had maliciously fired upon Martin
and his daughter. The further fact
that Marbeck is paying Martins hos
pital expenses and c~ompensating him
for his lack of time was further in
terpreted by the court as evidence Of
Marbeck,s good intent.
At the hearing of the case, Mar
beck admitted that he was under the
influence Of liquor when the shooting
occurred and before discharging him
Judge Allen admonished him that he
would find himself in trouble again
III. he continues its use as a bever-
age"
This defendant should cut out its
use absolutely" Allen said. IF he
does, I feel that Mr.. Marbeck will be
one of our best citizens. If he con-
tinues its use he will be riding for a
fall"

Executives Of Northwest to De-

With Plea

st. Paul. Mimi, OFT. 3.-R-Gover-
nors Of North Dakota, South Dakota
and Montana will meet in the Twin
Cities Saturday to discuss relief
plans for the drouth areas Of the
three northwestern states.
Following q conference, they plan to
go to Washington, where they will ask
Secretary Arthur Hyde for a modifi-
cation Of regulations so funds may be
advanced more easily to producers of
livestock as loans to carry their herds
over the winter.
Governors George Shafer, North
Dakota; Warren E. Green, South Da-
kota, and j. E. Erickson, Montana,
plan to present a united plea for a
change in the regulations for the
making of loans.
Under the plan, holders Of first
mortgage security on livestock are
asked to give up their prior liens and
share with the government apportion-
ment of claims against the livestock
on which loans r made.

stricken counties already have sor.
rowed from banks, livestock loar
companies and credit companies or
their stock, and, under the present
regulations Of the government tina

ment loans yer placed in an unfav
orable position, since the receivers o

pardize assets by giving the govern
ment q 50-per-cent interest in tn

Erickson said recent rains hav'
improved materially the condition o
the ranges so they will be in goot

have completed surveys showing thu
