strange events happening in Cobweb
House at Pass Christian.
The entire first part Of this novel
is devoted to these letters of Ann
Sue telling about her horrible suspi-
cions Of her aunts and others.
These letters terminate in a tele-
gram received by Jim, stating that
AIMS grandfather, Captain Jasper
Yancy, had died suddenly in the
night during a terrific storm.
From then on, Jim and Ann Sue
start to work out the mystery Of the
murder" of Captain Yancy. There
is another point Of difference in
this murder mystery from others,
that is the reader is not a bit SYM
pathetic with Captain Yancy.
He was tyrant of the old school
and certainly made life miserable
for the two aunts of Ann Sue in the
house.
Did Aunt Aurelia or Aunt Maude
kill Captain Yancy in his bed?
Did the strange Voodoo chant
and powers of Veechie, the only
servant in the house, kill the old
man?
Several others could nave killed
Captain Yancy and all Of them had
a motive.
And small, griIny calico bag"
had lot to do in solving the mys-
terry.
And another difference with this
novel is that no detective, no great
brain, is employed to solve the mys-
terry A voodoo something had a
lot to do with the solution.
AS usual, I will not give away
the plot or the solution. You may
tell me that the many letters used
to open the story is not new.
I know that, and I remember
that Bran Stoker used nothing but
letters to give the terrible details of
Count Dracula in "Dracula,"
You will agree with me that here
is a different type Of a murder
mystery, and it is difficult to find
the guilty person. Makes enjoyable
reading.

She used five pounds of goose berries, one and one-half pounds seedless raisins, four oranges includ- ing juice, pulp and chopper rind. With these she put eight cups of grandulated sugar. All of this went into a large preserving kettle and the mixture was cooked over a brisk fire for about forty-fiye minutes or until the mixture was dark, rich and thick. Then she poured it into clean jam pots and covered with melted paraffin. A small amount of melted paraffin is poured on as soon as the conserve is put into jam pots. Lat sr a thicker layer is added. The first covering while the conserve is boil ing hot keeps and bacteria in the air from falling out of the jam itself.
 Nancy learned that this conserve needed mush stirring as it cooked, for it is heavy and burns easily.

 Need Forgiveness
 It is at this age Dlat boys and girls are most eligible to the per- lection clubs, and that so much is expected of them. It Is not that these clubs are not filling a most necessary place in the world bF placing high standards before youth but there is also another way of looking at it. If they do fall short it is along the line I speak of. and I think a little credo of forgiveness should go with it.
 The boy who breaks over a rule of his club should not be made to feel that he is an outcast and a sinner. Everything in the world should be done to bring up his own estimate of himselfI What the world needs is more tolerance and for- giveness.
 have been convinced that most crime results from loss of self-re- spect in childhood, and the sacrifice of the good opinion of older people. It bears a thought, this 0ver- standardization of ours, for children who are not capable of making the grade.

NANCY PAGE Peter Calls a Go0seberry
 a GOose-G Cog
 By Florence En Ganka.

Peter remembered the huge goose gogs" that grew in the gar den back of his London home. He laughed at the little hard green nubbins which were on the market in America. Do you call those pee wees gooseberries? You ought to see a real English gooseberry and then you would know what the fruit is like" And when he talked about gooseberries he pronounced the word as if it were spelled "gooz- brig"
 Among his possessions he had a recipe for an old English conserve. He asked Nancy to try 1t, The re- suit was satisfactory even though the berries were much smaller.
 First, comes the arduous head and tailing. The little brown brush-the remnant of the blos- son-must be shipped off as well as the bit of green stem which attaches the fruit to the bush. A small scis- sors is the best implement, Nancy found, to remove the head and tail.

under star contracts to Paramount join forces in Paramount's produce ton of the James Hilary Finn story "The Lawyers Secret" now playing at the Fox-Poli Palace for three consecutive days to portray the dra- matic characters of the tense drama.
 The three leading players in "The Lawyers Secret" are Give Brook, recently starred with Tallulah Bank head in Furnished Lady"; Charles Rogers, the juvenile star who, in "The Lawyers Secret" graduates in- to dramatics, and Richard Arlen,
 In the feminine roles the cast con- tains two well-known names, Fay Wray and Jean Arthur, both of whom have carried leading-lady honors in many Paramount pictures. Fay Wray's fame was built in two Gary Cooper pictures, "The First Kiss" and "The Texan" She car ried the chief feminine role in Eric von Stroheims "The Wedding March," and is well-liked among theater patrons everywhere. Jean Arthur's most important work was done in the ''Fu Manchu" thrillers, in which she played with Neil Ham, ilton.
 "The Lawyers Secret" is an in- tense drama based on the ethics of the legal profession which compels a lawyer to respect his clients con- fidences whether or not they con- flict with his duty as man. Brook, as the lawyer, is faced with necessi- ty of hiding Rogers complicity in a killing for which Arlen is tried for his life. The plot of the story is swift and direct, and presents 8 so- cial problem in an exciting way.
 The co-feature will be Victor Mac Laglen and Jeanette Macdonald in "Annebelle's Affairs.

 Beryl stirred impatiently. But I can't stay in bed," she protested. Then, seeing look of annoyance on the doctors face, she added quick ly: Gould you get pr Auguston to- day?"
 Possibly" the doctor said dryly, "but I expect you to understand that we will be fortunate to get Auguston at any time at all. His fee, by the way, may seem exorbi- tant but he's worth it; every penny"

 In "Smart Money" MT. Robinson is seen in a role equally startling, and he portrays 1t with the unique genius which makes any of his characteriza- tions an event of importance in the talking picture world. He is Nick, keeper of a small town barber shop, with gambling as a side line. He Is literally the big frog in the small pond and keeps his henchmen in admiring awe. Nick's gaming always wins, but his weak point is an inor- dinate love for blondes, and his love making always fails.

She realized that she was tired. The work was much more strenu- ous than the tasks in the law office had been. She didn't have the ex- citement now of Jacks comings and goings.
 Along about four o'clock Harry came in. His face looked stern but his eyes were laughing. By all the fish in the seven seas, what in the world made you come here for a job?" he asked her. Sue could feel the slowing rhythm of the typewriter keys in the office. The girls weren't going to miss out in the scene.
 Because needed a job and you had one. Nobody else did," Sue arl- swered, laughing while the blue deepened in her eyes. But I can't say that I'm especially keen about it. I don't like being a machine. And don't like writing steel orders. It's such unromantic stuff." Come on up to my office. l want to see you, anyway" Harry said.

 "Oh, no, you Mon't!! Sue sat up straight. q don't want to ac- cept any more fayors. It isn't that I don't appreciate them. But I want to know that I'm getting by on my own ability. Then, anyway, I'm going to be married when Jacks established again, you know!"

Hurst novel will establish a new mark in Miss Davies career, in this reviewers opinion, winning for her fresh recognition and placing her in niche as one of the most amaz- ingly versatile of screen players. She negotiates this transition with confidence, apparently as perfectly at home in a vale of tears as she is in a gale of laughter. Not that she overlooks any comedy oppor- tunity. But her dramatic moments monopolize her appeal.
