with him. Prodded by reporters, Sanderson had admitted that he did not himself know the nature of those revelations.
 The exasperated young detective could picture the murderer reading those sensational hints and prom ises, could imagine his panic, the need for immediate action, so that Special Investigator Dundee should not live to tell the tale of his New York discoveries to the district at torney or anyone else.
 But whether he was right or wrong, Dundee determined to give his hunch chance. He went in- to the over-ornate bedroom in which Nita Leigh Selim had been murdered-shot through the back as she sat at her dressing table powdering her face. If the murder had been accomplished by mechan- ical means. how mad it been done ? There was no hot-air register here. .
 From the dressing table Dundee walked to the window, upon whose pale-green frame there was still the tiny pencil mark which Dr Price had drawn, to indicate the end of the path along which the bullet had travelled, provided it had travelled so far. Nothing here to aid in a mechanical murder
 But in a flash Dundee changed his mind. For just slightly above the pencil mark there was a small dent in the soft painted pine of the window frame.
 And before his mind could frame words and sentences he thought he

NANCY PAGE Party Dresses are Bought
 for Style Primarily
By Florence La Canke.

Party dresses are always some thing of problem. In the first place they are usually a bit more extreme in style than street clothes and for that reason go out more quickly. But since they do Ego out so far as style is concerned long before they are worn out, comes the question as to whether they should be made of the best materials and with the most meticulous care. Isn't effect what one wants in evening clothes rather than beautiful workmanship? :?
 Suppose, however, that the even ing clothes budget is limited, isn't it wise to put little more money into one dress but to choose style which is not conspicuous nor out standing that it will be remembered and identified?
 A scarlet dancing frock, for in- stance. is so conspicuous that it im- mediately places the wearer, where as a darker, richer dress of velvet, let us say, is good for many and many occasions.
 Dorothy was selecting the mater ial for an evening dress. She had chosen her pattern before she bought the material and then bought the kind of textile that would look well made up in that fashion.
 Then she selected good material in rich wine shade.

Profile hats are. the coming style for spring, set back and a-tilt the head to show your. profile off to ad- vantage. ,
 How many Of us, I wonder, do the best we can by our profiIes? |? How many, as matter of fact know our own profiles when we see them? fi
 Get acquainted with your profile. Your earnest friendship may i'm prove it! For there are certain helps you can give your profile, cer- tain ways you can aid and abet it in becoming as smart and attractive as possible.
 First of all, get the double mir TOT habit each day for short time Look at yourself. Would you be better looking if your hair was lifted off the ear, curled around it, or curled in front and over it?
 Are you, by any chance, getting a double chin? How about consider ing a chin strap. daily message and peter posture? For posture, you know, has much to do with whether or not your chin sags.
 A definite aid to better profiles is the small slumber pillow, or no pillow at all. You women who still love to sleep upon a mound of feathers, with your head propped up all out of natural posture. should realize that it encourages a double chin. Try baby-size pillow and see if you aren't just as comfort able. Certainly what you gain in psychological uplif tat denying your self something for beauty's sake should make up what you lose in height from your headrest.
 Learn your best profile angle. so if ever you want to flash it on any one hurriedly. you will know just what 1t is and how to show it to advantage. A famous motion picture star has one terrible side view, one almost perfect one. For years she had clause in her contracts that only profiles taken on the good side could be used, and she stuck to it it.
 Certain hats fatter your profile Never buy hat for it's front view only. Consider the left side. the right side, from the front and the back. Take your time and make an all-around-the-he survey. For certainly if you for get to let your profile flatter you. no one will admire it.
 The way you do your hair has much to do with your profile beauty. This spring there are so many new cultures that it seems a perfect time to do your hair new way, a way that fatters both sides as well as the front view.
 Know your profile and then see what you can do to help it.

 Then she went down. stairs Very softly. " One of the maids had turned on the radio, and from some far off place love lyric was singing through the night. A Hawaiian melody that dripped with shining moon light on golden sands, by a deep, dark sea, where starlight splashed sometimes. The kind of a background that she had received as wedding present.
 But now she was going to clerk in store, under another name. Life played queer tricks, she reflected, and her smile was crooked and her eyes were misty.
 The mail was in brass basket on a table in the hall where it had always been placed, and Corrinne turned the letters over curiously. One for her. She might as we'll stay and read it. The cook and the two maids were talking together in the kitchen. If they did see her she could say she had come back for her letters, and it would be all right.

YOUR CHILDREN 1H. A N

It is a hard thing to advise moth- CTS on the subject of dressing the baby's feet and legs these cold days. because houses are as different as climates, and what is suitable for a child in the way of warmth in one community would be risky for Oth- CTS in an entirely different atmoS- phere.
 However I think there are a few general rules that all mothers might keep in mind. or hear about if they do not already know them. After seeing a poor little mite the other day whose woolen stockings were as tight as the kid covering on an old ! fashioned doll, I decided that the advice 1 gave to that surprised young mother might not come amiss to others.
 The truth is that if it were pos sible to avoid the risk of colds babies would be better off without anything on their feet and legs at all. But in midwinter we will have to dis count that, for first of all these same little feet and legs need to be nice and warm, so the next best thing is to see that not only should stockings be lightweight wool or cotton, but that they are very. very loose. Never mind the way they look as long as they are clean; let"them stick out beyond the toes if they will, and don't try to stuff fat little calves into stockings two sizes too small for them.
 UnIlampcrcd Feet Grow Strong
 Most careful mothers now use wooden frames for drying woolen stockings: this keeps them from shrinking, but one reason why I fa- yor cotton, or the more luxurious silk, is that most wool does thicken after many washings unless it is fine quality of merino.
 Unless the baby is in a cold house, or it outdoors a great deal he does not need a heavy stocking. And l say again guardedly. it would be fine for his feet muscles and bones if he could go without any foot cov- ering whatever. In warm weather he may do so safely.
 The baby with uphampered feet is going to have the strongest feet when he grows older. There is small question of this.
 A young baby needs no extra shoes or booties. And the food specialist now advises mo sheos" until the child walks. Also he urges mothers not to buy the first shoes with stiff soles as was formerly the custom, but glove-lilie affairs with soft pli- able soles, that will allow every mus cle and bone to play as nature ln- tended.
 Arch trouble in later years often goes back to babyhood. Bound feet, feet kept too hot, feet thrust too early into stiff shoes all contribute to trouble later on because the mus cles have had no chance to strength en at the proper time.

On the night she first wore the dress she contrasted her reflection with that of a neighbor who had a most entrancing dress of ruffled net. It was pretty. but striking, and of a quality which would soon become be- draggled and lose it's freshness.
 Dorothy envied the girl the dress, however. But four weeks later when they met at another dance she could not help contrasting the two dresses. Hers still looked well-b bred but her companions dress was sorry, dis couraged affair. She had had to wear it to too many functions because she had put too much money into the purchase that she could not af- ford to throw it away. |

 The telephone on the stand at her side started to tinkle with low silvery sound, and she picked up the receiver quickly, from force of habit. Not until after she had spoken did she realize that she shouldn't have. But it was her mother, and Corrinne talked softly, glad now that she had answered, for it would be more proof to her family that she and Harry were still happy. The maids had not heard the bell and did not come.
