All Spring Slips Are Higher
Wasted, But These Have
Other Important
Features
For the New Slips

rose, and dark colors. There's
a lace-trimmed slip just like 1t
that comes in the light shades.
And both have the narrow six
inch piece of flexible compost
tion boning in the tubular
satin straps, just in the back
the invention which keeps
the straps in place and laun-
ders right along with the slip.
Tailored or trimmed-this
may be the hardest part to be-
lieve-one of these slips with
its non-slippable straps costs
less than So!
Lace Uplift Top
But back to those double-pur-
pose slips that eliminate at least
one extra garment. You've heard
of brassiere-top slips before, but
you may never have thought
much of them because until this
season, it's never been done
properly, The idea is a splendid
one, particularly this year when
a smooth, unbroken line is essen
tial. And these new slips you'll
be seeing have uplift tops cupped
as effectively as any French ban
deau-they've just discovered
how to do it! Sketched in the
center above is the incest of all
the brassiere-top slips we've seen.
It's silk crepe and not only has
cupped bust sections of lace,
bound with self material, but
the slip itself is cut in four
cores. Each of these gore Sec
tions is bias cut, too, so as to
prevent the sagging that's such
a nuisance usually. In addi-
tion-and thank your stars
along with us that someone
thought of this-the seams are
doubly reinforced and guaran-
teed not to pull apart. The slip
comes in pink, tearose or white.
And you'd pay almost as much
as this slip costs for a brasSiere
alone-here you have the two
in one-for less than $500!
Then there are pantie slips.
And until you've worn one, you
don't know how comfortable
and practical they are. BY faint
outline, you can see the pantie
underneath the bias model at
the right. But that's not at all
the remarkable feature of the
slip. The material it's made of
is. You won't find anything like
tan all pure silk, pure dye
French finish crepe, especially
woven for long Service-both
wearing and washing. The
fabric is so closely constructed
that it's very difficult for the
threads to shift, as they usually
do. And this feature of the
weave l. responsible for the

Both sides were vulnerable.
The final contract was dou-
bled at all nine tables. Two
pairs of players sitting as Y
and z bid and made grand
slams at hearts; two bid only
small slams at hearts: all four
could not fail to make grand
slams. Only one w pair,
but no ABB pair, employed fea-
ture showing. This pair was
the only one that knew in ad-
vance that a grand slam could
not be missed. Their opponents
apparently were bewildered by
the heart bidders tactics, and
dropped out of the bidding
contest. With the other II
pairs it was more a case of
not allowing opponents to win
the contract, than it was ex-
pectation of fulfilling their
own contract that kept them
bidding.
1t is apparent that w can
make a grand slam without
having to take a fineSSe, or
guess where a missing card lies.
A grand slam also can be made
at clubs with equal certainty.
An opening lead of a diamond
will be ruffed by z, defeating a
grand slam attempt at spades,
but an opening lead Of hearts
will give A a grand slam, pro-
vided he plays carefully, and re-
enters BIS hand with a club
and not diamond. One player
made only five-odd at spades,
although he bid seven. The
various contracts and scores are
given below, from the stand
point of w. Of course ABB
had plus scores where w were
minus, and, vice versa, ABB were
minus where w were plus.
Plus MIMI!

There was a difference of
504O points between the best
and the worst score made by
w, and the same held true
for ABB, making final scores
appear crazy. Some of the
best players had excellent
scores for the evening, and
some of the worst players also
had similar scores.

tional method Of rating players

PREFACE

TnEE AYE
The Crime without a Parallel
If crime may be said to
have a technic, one of its
masterpieces was that singu-
lar series of mysteries bound
up with the name of Lola
Carewe, sometimes called the
Might Cl..b Lady"
In cold patience and dur
ing long years, this fantastic
plot was Matched. Conceived
in audacity, and executed
with ra-e bOldneSs and dis
patch, it was almost the per
feet crime. At the time of
this bizarre excitement, as
some will remember, l was
confidential seer etary to
Thatcher Colt, then police
commissioner of Greater New
York. In the Carewe case we
encountered a problem unique
and terrifying, a deadly
enigma which Colt solved
when to the rest of us all
avenues of investigation ap-
peared empty.
Yet in the Carewe mys-
teries, as in his other inveSti-
cations, Thatcher Colt en-
plOyed no miraculous gifts.
He reSOrted to no magic ex-
cept applied intelligence, re-
lying invariably on strict pO-
lice practice-industry, patti
ence, perseverance, and the
organized use of all available
assistance, including the Co
operation of scientists and
their laboratories. AS every
one knows, actual police
work is seldom a garish ex-
hibitiOn of spectacular deduc-
ton. Crimes are solved and
male factors arrested by the
use of common sense, per-
sisted in until adventurous
logic looks like inspiration.

Duplicate Scores Not

Many players do not care
for duplicate games. They
usually start long after sched-

drag along to suit the pace
of the most sluggish mind that
contends. Even the scores
made may not afford a reason.

CHAPTER ONE

Precisely at 1870 o'clock on
that snow-blown New Year
Eve, Thatcher Colt reached the
Ritz Carlton Hotel. Through
the revolving doors in East
Forty-sixth Street hastened the
police commissioner, immac-
ulate in evening array and
top hat. His large black eyes
frightened when he found me
waiting for him in the tiny
red foyer.
Sorry to pull you away
from your family celebration,
Tony" he apologized. Hope
your wife isn't cross with me
for ringing you up?"
1--WE both realized it must be
something exciting"
AS the chief loosened his
silken muffler, his black eyes
flashed at me gleam of rue
full mistrust.
May be only a false alarm"
he warned. Il was alone at
home when Dougherty tele-
phoned. The district attor-
ney was more than usually eX-
cited. Implored me to come at
once II to the dancing club
downstairs"
wouldn't the D. A. tell you
what it was about?"
"Swore he didn't dare-over
the wire. You don't suppose
this could be another of
Dougherty's efforts to rope me
in on one of his everlasting
parties?"
AS looked at Thatcher

How Thatcher Colt Solved
a Spectacular Crime

Maintained, I felt a twinge
of sympathy. True, the po-
lice commissioner of New York
was not a party man. But
Manhattan's favorite bachelor
had not always been bored by
social frivolities. His monaStic
life began only after the tickle
lady of his fancy ran off with
a contract champion. Since
then Thatcher Colt had lost
interest in his old world of
gaiety and fashion. Born to
money and social position, he
put aside all distractions when
he accepted the appointment
as police commissioner. With
an eagernesS that was like an
obsession, he plunged into the
department work and of the
10000 policeme he COM
manded. Thatcher Colt was the
best all-around athlete, the
hardest worker, the most in
vincible crook hunter.
At the Club
Lets find the district at
torney now "a and remember,
Tony, I don't want to stay
long"
Neither of us dreamed how
brief our stay was to be, as
we briskly descended the stair
case at our right. A flight of
red-carpeted steps led down
under the pavement level of
the fashionable East Side.
From below rose the whine and
Groom of an orchestra, beating
regularly through a vast dis
cord of party voices.
1t was New Years Eve at May
fair.
Like nothing else in all New
York is the dancing club May
fair. At midnight every Satur-
day during the season, the stars
of the theater and cinema
gather with prize-fighters, song
writer's, theatrical agents, stock
brokers and such in the Crystal
Room of the Ritz. Here the
ladies and gentlemen of the
amusement world triumphantly
display their gentility, until the
atmosphere of refinement is al
most painful.
While the courtroom girl gar
nered our dampened overcoatS
and top hats, we looked
through the arched doorway
into the crystal room. All was
decorously festive within that
eXpanse of mirrors, crystals,
jewels and lights. The shows
we're out, and the players. had
changed costumes and make
up to hurry here for the death
of one year and the birth of
another. The broad room was
overcrowded with table parties,
except for a center oval of
waxed oak, cleared for dancers.
On a low platform at the rear
wall troupe of boys with pale,
elderly faces blew and scraped
the mumbo-jumbo of jazz upon
their strings and brass. In the
warm air drifted the smell of
women-powder and perfume
and perspiration blending with
tobacco smoke.
Enter the D. A.
AS we hesitated. the lumpy
figure of Merle K. Dougherty
appeared, numbering rapidly to-
ward us. The district attorney
was one of Colts oldest and
most unreasonable friends-a
stout and noisy but competent
man, with dangling jowls, a
mop of red curls, and protruding
blue eyes that always seemed
indignant and alarmed.

proved to be not nearly so lacking In
intelligence, of sort, as people had
always thought. And he had been
ruthlessly Matchmaking Macklin ever
since. Maeklin had succeeded in hid
ing the stolen notes from him, but by
means of a letter left in the roots of
the now stricken elm, the half-wit had
always been able to make Macklin
keep any appointment he chose TO
make. And although he could never
find out where the money was hidden,
he could always get what he wanted.
Macklin was too much afraid of him
TO refuse him anything he asked. In
pause in the wretched story, Ames
asked:
What spite had you against War
rington that you should have done this
to him?''
Macklin hesitated The thought that
he might make up some convincing lie

faithfully wrote it all down. When

been spoken. Ames handed the pen TO

Your name, please, Macklin." he
said, and with a hand that trembled

that his heart was beating and that
his breathing was tolerably even. He
picked the little man up and sat him
in his chair again.

he said TO Jim. and Jim obeyed Less

Ames had given brief but sufficient ex-
plantations, and having seen the doctor
off in charge of Macklin, came back
to his office and faced Jim.

door and looking very straight at him.

slowly.

Ames. But, Lee may l say.
