NO We have a record Of its reg

kidnapping, or anything like that,
they will prove to be false"
Bob had been so confident that
no one knew where Ava was spend

A STRANGE rite was being per-

which Ava was held prisoner. A
tall pole, on which were cut various
complicated designs, was brought
by four men to the part of the
clearing nearest the cabin. There
it was fitted into a receptacle APP
parently constructed for it.
Ava studied the men in bewilder-
ment. There was something about
them that ought to mean something
to her, and yet she could not figure
it out.
They we're foreigners, apparently
Or weren't they? Black Hawk and
Davy had spoken excellent English
with just a little thickening on
certain words, perhaps.
Ava was interrupted by the sight
Of Black Hawk striding toward the
cabin
Ava thought of retreating and
closing the door against him. But
that would be useless, she knew.
Il suppose all this leaves you a
little bewildered," Black Hawk be-
gan. Don't let it bother you. AS
for our modest headquarters-well,
that will all be changed soon"
Why should -"
Black Hawk smiled.

Before the direction finder could

WASH MNGTON FASHIONS By wilma LoViNe

The vogue for dotted swiss
and dotted voile has now swept
into the accessory field. Dotted
frocks are popular not only for
day, but for evening, too. And
now the dotted materials are
making trimmings, blouses, col
lar and cuff, and scarfs. It's a
smart idea, for nothing is more
refreshing than the vibrancy of
dots. They can make any plain
dress look lovely, and add chic
to the most demure of cos
tunes. Just try it on some of
your too-plain clothes, If you
have any, and see if it doesn't
work. But be sure you don't
overdo it. Unless you have a
whole costume Of dotted fabric,
small touches are enough.
Detachable Ruffle
We found some suits in a
downtown store that illustrate
the point perfectly. And they're
not only smart, but in a price
line that will tempt you.
They're only $500. And Of
good quality for that price, well
made, and with all the new de-
tails you could wish, as you can
see in our sketches. On the left
is a suit made of a dress that is
sun-back and sleeveless except
for the cap yoke (see left back
ground sketch, and is slenderly
cut. Dotted voile makes the
rather stiff tailored belt, and
the same voile makes a wide
ruffle about the neck of the
boxy jacket, finger-top length.
Wide puffed sleeves balance the
equally generous ruffle. This
ruffle comes off, in case you
want a plain jacket, or for
cleaning or laundering. This
suit comes in such good combi-
nations Of color as yellow with
brown voile, white with black or
red, pink with brown.
In Three Pieces
On the right you see another
suit, that is equally smart, and
rather remarkable in the way
it makes quick changes. AS a
basis there is a plain sun-back
sleeveless dress of silk crepe,
shown in the right-hand back
ground sketch. 1t will do for
tennis or active sports. Then
for street, you put on over it
a dotted voile blouse, cleverly
held together by big cord frogs.
And over all goes a jacket
with big puffed sleeves. and
interesting neckline treatment.
Of course, you can wear just
the dress and jacket, or dress
and blouse. though it's smart
est with all three. This suit
comes in pink with brown Yoila.

am divorced, but my for
mer husband visits our children
and corresponds regularly with
them. Our oldest daughter is
to be married to a minister's
son, and would like to have a
small wedding. She wishes the
father of her fiance to per
form the ceremony, but would
like to have it done in our
church, which is a different
denomination.
If you can suggest how this
can be done, we will both ap-
prec1ate 1t deeply.

This plan Of your daughters
Is an excellent one, and one that
is very often carried out. The
thing to keep in mind is to make
thoroughly definite and agree
able arrangements with both
ministers. These arrangements
are made by you and your
daughter. First, go to see your
own minister, and ask him If
having the fiance's father per-
form part of the ceremony is
agreeable to him. I am sure
that it will be. Then talk this
over with the father of your
daughters fiance.
Usually, under these circum-
stances, it is the gracious plan
to arrange to have part of the
ceremony performed by one Of
the ministers and part by the
other. After you and your
daughter have talked with each
minister alone, they will arrange
to meet together and decide the
details of the ceremony,

him, and his chances for full
filling his small slam contract
appeared small. Apparently a
spade and a trump must be
lost.
When the 9 Of clubs held the
trick the declarer gained entry
to his hand by trumping low
diamond from dummy.
Upon the lead Of the Ace Of
clubs South discarded low
diamond. Dummy let go its
lowest heart. North played his
3 of clubs. The declarer saw
that to make his small slam
he must make a double grand
coup, to rid himself of two
more trumps than North held,
so that at the end Of the hand
East could sacrifice one spade
trick, and then force North to
trump before the declarer had
to do so, thus enabling the de-
clarer to pick up the two op-
posing trumps on the last two
tricks.
The declarer led his top
spade. Dummy's K won. Upon
the Ace and K of diamonds the
declarer discarded his two re-
naming hearts. Then he led
the z Of hearts, and trumped
the trick. At the ninth trick
the declarer led his 5 Of spades.
Dummy's Ace won. He led the
j Of hearts. North discarded
the j Of spades. The declarer
trumped with the 10 Of clubs.
At the end of the tenth trick
the players held the cards
shown below, with the declarer
in the lead.

In this great pile beneath its

Perhaps the weary hearts that
have come in
To seek relief from all their

To win forgetfulnesS from
strife and sin
Have left behind this incense
of their prayers.
They came when they were
done with loom and sod
And sheep and barter for Q

They sat with lifted thoughts
intent on God,
Till life's dull prose resolved
itself in rhyme.

Sixteen Too Young to Marry

0AAVSNAA - wv = O~AA0 W. ~'SSoS
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am 16 and a junior in high
school. am very much in love
with a boy from a neighboring
town. Would it be advisable to
marry him, if he should happen
to get a job at $25 or more a
week? I have worked my way
through high school in doing do
meStic work; therefore, I feel
very capable of keeping a home
of our own. Would you advise
me to get married without by
parents consent? Pm.
could never have it on my
conscience, my dear, to advise
any girl Of 16 to marry with
out her parents consent. The
$25 q week of which you speak
Is not yet a genuine salary, but
only possibility. Do not set
your hopes on anything unless
1t is as certain as a bird in the
hand.
You must be a very capable
girl to put yourself through
high school by doing domestic
work, and when you are older
this experience will be an in
valuable help in keeping your
own home we'll. But not at 16,
my dear child.
AS you're a Junior in high
school, why not finish, then go
through normal school, or take
a year or two of business COL
lege? You would only be 10,
at most, and it would be mis-
take to marry younger. My
best wishes to you.
His Wife is Not DemOnstrative
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have been married for over
20 years, and have two chill
dren. I think my wife is per-
feet in every way. She is a
wonderful mother and real
pretty and young loOking-a
college graduate. She would
rother be with the children
than go anywhere else, but she
doesn't seem to be at all al
fectionate to me. She has never
sat on my lap in the 20 years
we've been married. She could
have had 10 times more OF my
attention in the past 20 years
If she had come halfway, or if
] knew whether she wanted my
affection or not. I love atten-
ton, and 1 know some women
who do, too, but I would rather
have it all from my wife.
My wife never goes anywhere
without me, and she seems to
be satisfied with everything.
BOB.
Some women are just not
demonstrative, though they care
as deeply as those who show
their feelings more openly. If
your wife never goes anywhere
without you and is a good wife
and mother, and has been one
for 20 years, I think you are
truly blessed.
. And please don't consider for
a q moment those more demon
strative ladies you hint you
