the sergeant the whole story.
And one of the prisoners con-

From her own happiness Pa

March had conSpired in vain.
In the end she had lost every
thing. Clark's words echoed in
Patricia'S heart. Poor Marthe!
And poor Julian!
They drove on into the sunlight.
The life with Julian Haverholt
seemed like a dream to Patricia
now. She stood on the threshold
of a sWeeter, more simple life.
A life clear-eyed and honest.
Patricia was done with gam
bling, gambling for money and
gambling with life.
But won't you teach me

And then he kissed her.
THE END
The Washington times., 1933-08-28

The memory of that day rose
before them. Clark pulled the
girl more closely into his en-
brace, her red tangled head
lay at utter peace upon his
shoulder. After a long while
Patricia said:
"Was that why you were so
horrible at Marthe's dance?"
II was burning up with jeal-
ousy that night, Patricia. I
thought that you loved Julian.
I thought that I had lost you
for good and ALL"
Julian was good to me-" said
the girl, "in his own strange
hard way"
Another moment of silence.

Patricia said: did Marthe
tell you about me?" and looked
up at the man who was looking
down at her.
IT wouldn't believe Marthe.
Then later remembered meet
ing you down town at Eileen Sy-
colts long ago."
Patricia drew a long breath.
THAT must have been bad
for you, Clark"
''It was bad for a while" he
confessed slowly. II knew you
too well, sweetheart, to think
that you could do anything
wrong. But I thought that
Julian had fascinated you as he

air was cool, touched with the
tang of salt. Market carts and
milk trucks ratified along the
streets. The city was waking
up when the police launch
docked.
Patricia was i'll with weari-
ness, sick with relief, somehow
strangely lost. She had been
cleared of Julian Haverholt'S
murder. She was free. Free
for what?
All Over
The policemen hurried into
the station ahead, eager to
make their reports. Patricia
and Clark had been asked to
return in the afternoon. They
stood on the wharf now, alone
together. The girl had no idea
where she would go, what she
would do next. The excitement
that had borne her up had
quite burned away. She looked
forlorn and small in her
crumpled tweeds, her face pale,
her red hair tangled, her fig
ure dropping from exhaustion.
Clark'S hand was at her elbow.
He had steered her to his car,
parked where he had left it,
bright against the grayneSS of
the wharfs. What next?
Patricia smiled shakily.

the car, Patricia. You're ready
to drop"
IT guess" said the girl a little
family, "you had better take
me to some hotel"
"a hotel! My darling, are
you mad?"
She was in his arms. His
lips were searching for her
lips. He tipped back her chin.
She surrendered utterly to the
glory of his kiss. About them,
on the lonely dock, there
seemed to be the beat of cir
cling wings. And did you
think I'd let you go? What
made you dream I'd let you go?"
do you love me, Clark?"
Her arms were tight locked
about his shoulders. She put
the question as simply as a
child.
do I love you! I have loved
you forever, darling; I shall
love you forever"
"That sounds like a long
time" she could say from the
security of his arms.
Its not nearly long enough"
They laughed. Just then, in
the first flush of their happi-
ness. everything made them
laugh. They laughed at Pa
tricia's disarray, at the milk
truck driver who stared and
stared, at the policeman who

opened the door of the station
close by and closed it promptly.
Later, much later, when they
were in car and driving toward
Long Island-Clark had tele-
phoned his mother-Patricia
said ,humbly:
II was such a coward, Clark.
How can you love such a cow
ard?"
why didn't you tell me,
honey? Why didn't you tell me
about you and Julian?" he
asked, sober for the moment.

his hand upon her hand did
not lessen. 1T would have been

afraid that I would lose you

"You were afraid I wouldn't

but her eyes met his eyes
bravely.

West! One doesn't know what
to think.
The whole thing started, we
learn from the fashion maga-
zines, at a party given in
Eiffel Tower (right there the
story doesn't sound right,
where all the fine ladies Of the
French capital came dressed in
costumes modelled after the
lavish regalias worn by Miss
West in Diamond Lii" This
picture has been a great social
success in France, where it is
known as Lady LOU" and my
copy of "Comedia," the Paris
theatrical newspaper, goes to
the trouble of running the fol-
lowing explanatory parenthesis
after the title: "(She done him
Wrong0"
Doubtless so many of the
guests were told by their
friends that they looked "sim-
ply divine" and "ought never
to wear anything elsc," that it
was decided to adopt the styles
of the Nobby Nineties for the
coming season, and conse-
quently we read that ruffles,
pleats and godets, to say moth
ing Of peplums (about which
nothing should be said, I
think will be worn, with colors
varying from magenta, plum
and petunia to rich blues and
deep greens, the whole thing
topped off with a luxurious ca
boose or trailer done in lace
window-curtain material. 1t
looks like an old-tashloned
Christmas.
But what about us men? If
comic movie stars are to set
the fashions for the women,
are we to go plo ling along
all year in our dab double
breasted tweeds and cheviots,
with nothing to make life
brighter except an occasional
red spot in our necktieS? Can't
we dress up funny, too?
I would suggest to the ar
biters of mers fashions that
they give a thought to Slim
Summerville. His dress is al
ways distinctive and, at the
same tire, comfortable. And
would alwyas be good for
laugh, especially for those men
who are blessed with long
necks.

Let us say, for a starter, that
collars will be worn two sizes
too large and made of some
shiny, easily cleansed material
like celluloid, so designed that
the collar button will show on
all occasions except the most
informal, when the collar can
be abandoned entirely. Some
ready made tie, of neutral
hue, can be attached or de-
tached at will, giving an air of
adventure to the thing.
For hattings, I would recon-
mend the style adopted by w.
c. Fields, something a bit for
NAL but, at the same time,
rakish. A silk hat, given the
proper treatment, can be made
to give the effect of insouciance
and, at the same time, conform
to the more conventional taste.
Older men, after breaking the
hat down, may wear it straight
on the head and MAINTAIN a GER
tain amount of dignity, while
the young bloods have the
choice of wearing it tilted over
the ear or tipped back on the
head. It may also be dropped
off occasionally, to give the de-
sired comic effect and keep in
line with our sisters.
Mr.. Ed Wynn also has a smart
line Of hats on display for those
interested in novelties, and
am sure that just the plain fire
chiefs helmet will be found to
satisfy the needs of the average
man for comfort combined with
a dash of color.
