CHAPTER 4S

It was midnight. Laurel and
her mother faced each other in
the living room of the Park Ave
nue. apartment, with the lights
of New York glinting far below
them.
No longer were those lights
like kind and sympathetic eyes.
They held a menace in them.
Under-currents in this lovely
city! DiaZ. the stolen neck
lace. .BLACKMAIL!
Mother, it's quite obvious
that HE took it!"
y II don't know anything,
Laurel"
But you say he was begging
you for money, to cover his
plungeS on the stock market?"
1--WE done that twice before
for him. This time well, I
hadn't the cash."
Shame and regret were on
her mothers face, and intense
worry.
eff put the matter in the
hands of the police they-they'll
ferret out everything!"
"About-your dining with him
tonight, you mean?"
"That-and-and other things
as we'll"
"Then you do think it was
Diaz who stole it?"
"Oh, Laurel, let's not speak
about it,"
"But Connie, darling, you
can't dismiss a $1,000 loss like
that SO easily?"
Her mother burst into tears.
She Sobbed: do you want your
father to divorce me?"
A Pretty Pass
So things had come unto this
pretty pass! Laurel was dunn
founded.
Connie - and Michael, her
father-divorced?
Connie had dined alone to-
night with hateful Diaz, in
some hole-in-the-corner little
Speak-easy..
And Comics husband Gun

had been supping and wining
a choruS-girl in the club Lido
Tit-for-tat. Both pulling in
different directions, and double
crossing each other. which
appeared to be the theme-song
Of Modern Marriage!
Well, - a lever in
her hands if Dad proved too
harsh with poor, foolish Con-
ME-.
Not that Connie was be-
witched by Diaz any more.
With all the hatred of a wo-
man used" she now loathed
the ance-inStrl1"tor.
But the main thing is to
get that necklace back without
any shindig," said practical
Laurel.

For Prom Clothes

If you happen to be passing
through railroad station dur
ing any weekend now you're
sure to be impressed by the
crowds of young girls with suit
cases. The chances are ten to
one that those suitcases are
chock-full of prom clothes!
For, at this time when mid
year exams are over, most col
leges celebrate with a big party.
How to Get a Rush
Now, for the big occasion,
girls will plan to wear a really
formal evening gown. Lots of
them will take along lace
dresses because they're so very
smart and they won't crush in
packing. But, having just
Shopped for lace dresses last
week, we decided to look
around for something else. And
when we saw the canton model
Sketched we knew that any girl
who wore it would be destined
for a tremendous rush. It's
Just the kind Of dress that
makes men prick up their ears
and take notice!
There are brilliant, sparkling
beads sprinkled all over the
chiffon yoke top. And the
front comes up in a point,
dividing the yoke as it meets
the v neckline.
LOw-DOwn CrOss-Over
Then in the background an
other figure shows what hap
pens to the dress in back. See
the low cut decolletage with the
beaded yoke at each side con-
tinuing to the waistline? And
at the waiStline it crosses softly
and extends into a sash, that
loops in front.
In all white or all flesh, this
dress is a dream. And it's very
striking in black, with a flesh
colored yoke. You can get it in
other colorS, too-and the price
is less than $50.
Push-UF Sleeves
For a little wrap that's very
chic and won't take up much
room, nothing could be better
than the one we've sketched
below. It's just waist length
and ties in a little knot in front.
The three-quarter sleeves with
low puffs, can be showed up as
far as you like. And how grand
they look with long evening
gloves! The price is only about
$40 and it's made of chiffon
velvet, almost any color. And
the Innings satin!

things had certainly changed.
It was he who needed her, even
more than she needed him.
At least she kept it hidden.
He couldn't.
Still, sitting on the porch,
waiting for him at night, she
could hardly bear it.
Her father would reach down
and put his slow, tough old hand

"Not until we've tried other
means" said Laurel.
But how?"
"Leave it to me-"
"And not a word to your
father!"
"Oh, he's okay-"
"He's nothing of the sort. He
knows every scrap Of jewelry
that I possess. He says I'm
careless, so at least once a
week he counts all the pieces
in my jewel case. He'd be
furious about the loss of the
pearls-hell miss them right

went to bed. But she had
horrid dreams. She knew she'd

fer for it.
Disquieting News
Connie had breakfast in bed.
Laurel appeared at half past
eight to pour coffee for her
father.
Furious rebuke awaited her.
He had the morning paper IN
his hand. He painted an &C.
cusing finger at an item
headed:
Notorious Speakeasy Raided."

banged his fist on the break

short, how good, how wise, how clever,
how foolish, how little? What to live
with? How worthy to love? Dark or
fair? Able or "wavery"? Who? And
when? And whGt?
If it were true that each man's-and
woman's, of course-''Fate were bound
about their neck" when first they were
born, then long ago there would have
been discovered by some bright human
the secret of how to see ahead into the
future just what this Fate might be!
The life and love ahead is like a treas

you could see it, labeled, ready for you.
The treasure chest, fitted out for you
alone, with old Time giving you your
due from it as the proper day comes
around. Now, if that were true, Jack
and Jill, long ago someone would have
found a magic formula to see through
the chest. And the seer's crystal ball
would have been a thriving reality. IF
that were true, Jack and Jill, what
would be the use of trying! And what
woes, and what deep black sorrows!

Forty-four Of these developed

ways said. She'll make the
party a success"
Betty'S vitality, her good ma
tured jollity and her boundless
vivacity made her the most
popular girl in town. She had
been that in her school days and
she was still the same-never
moody and changeable as most
of the girls were.
Betty never missed days at
the office, either. And she
didn't cancel dates at the last
minute. No wonder Betty was
popular.
She discovered the way to
cheat those periodical pains
that steal a few days each
month from the calendar of
most women. She refused to
suffer and monthly pains never
kept her away from parties.
For Betty kept a box of
DR.. Pierce'S Payngon tablets
in her pocketbook and they e
helped her through many a y
hard day and many a gay &
evening that she could not
have endured without them.

Something of childhood still
LingerS within my heart,
And through years good or i'll,

Something untouched by time,

No hope beguiles.

The answer is that six tricks
can be won against any defense
by ABB. The method of play
depends upon what B does on
the first lead by Y. First we
will assume that B discards.
In that case play will go as
follows. Lead a low diamond
from Y, trump with rs 10 Of
hearts. Lead back rs z Of
hearts. Y will win the trick.
Lead US Q of diamonds. If

the losing card of the suit Of

two cards, both Of which are
