STYLE CHATS
WITH ALMA ARCHEF

With shortened purses came the appreciation of shortened hours for the feed- bag, and simpler hospital ities. Penthouse apartments of un- pretentious cottages, have their cookless, maidless moments now. and the buffet type of entertain ment is accepted socially. says Emily Post. With the picnic as its antecedent, tke buffet supper right from the kick-off is bound to be a success. Anything that's easy and informal and friendly usually is. The table that was intended for six easily accommodates thirty when one knows one's buffet equipment, and that almost amounts to glorify- ing the cafeteria. Start with Q chromium viewpoint and then buy first of all an electric buffet server with plenty of compartments for everything from curried chicken to peas retuve, and hot chocolate fudge sauce.

GET YOUR CHILDREN INTO
 THE HANDKERCHEF HABIT

A lowly thing Is the handker- chief, but 50 are combs and tooth- brushes and underwear. Lowly be- cause they are nice. Whatever man did before such articles were in- vented, be sure his manners were as low as his store of intimate equipment.
 Manners have gone up in the world, as well as health, since the advent of things hygienic. Also character and self respect. Who can say how much of history has been influenced by the invention of bathbubs?
 The world is so full of num- Der of things in the 34th year of the goth century, that although we have bouncing dollars and threats of war, thank heaven we do have handkerchiefs. And that is one reason we may be gald we weren't born three centuries too soon.
 A whole lot of people, however, scorn it's existence. It's just one blessing they can do without. And this whole-lot-of-people are the youngest in our midst.
 Eliminating Sniffling
 Teach school for one long day in the middle of winter after a thaw when families cough colds around on each other from dad to the cot. Listen to the eternal sniff ing. The reading class painfully tries to pronounce its ms and ms and you want to shriek to its suf- fering members, Get to your hand kerchiefs and blow--blow hard!"
 But you know very well that not a soul in the line except per- haps Priscilla and Percy has a nice, clean pocket handkerchief in tow go what's the use? If you get very desperate and have lived through one winters experience, you learn to tear up thin old sheets into squares an dkeep them in the bookcase for sos. calls. When Johnny begins to use his coat sleeves for other purposes than to keep his arm in, you i'll the breach manfully, excuse the small sufferer for a few minutes with Q bit of sail and when the storms over, back he comes a new man to your re- lief and all his neighbors'.
 Every child should have a nice clean hanky every morning and a pocket to keep 1t in. He should be instructed how to use 1t, but above all to use 1t. When he needs to blow his nose, when he sneezes and when he coughs.
 Handkerchiefs are cheap. Get each youngster his own, even if they are only bits of hemned mus lin. He'll respect himself more and certainly he'll have more friends if he has the handkerchief habit.

ARE YOU ENJOYING YOUR SOJOURN IN THE SAHARA?

Spite of the repression and all, well-to-do American people who can't get to California or Florida or Bermuda spend most of the win- ter in the Sahara. Have you Q lit- tie Sahara in your home? Chances are you have. Nearly everybody except a few of us intelligentsia
 have. Even we have to fight like l.. well, like cats and dogs
 to escape the blighting desert arid- ity. One memorable winter resolved
 to preserve proper humidity at all costs, and accordingly had every
 radiator in the hotel fitted with
 the only efficient portable humidi- fer have yet seen. This consists of a capacious tank covered with a grill or screen, under which is a rack or framework by means of which several yards of porous
 wicking Is suspended 50 that it dips in the water and draws 1t up where 1t is readily evaporated. Such. an arrangement will evaporate a gall lon or two of water daily from
 each radiator, register or stove.
 Well, that winter we didn't use
 so much fuel to keep comfortable,
 for one thing. You might suspect
 that the reason we required less fuel was that got 50 much more
 exercise keeping the enormous flock of humidifiers well watered. At ali hours of the day and night ]
 was to'!ng water to those thirsty bru c,. but never got over-heated
 that way, really. We found the
 lower household temperature conn
 fortable because the humidity did not fall so low. It Is a well known fact that a household temperature
 of 65 with Q fair amount of mois- ture in the air is more comfortable 1 for all hands than is a temperature of 75 with the air excessively dried out as 1t always is. at that temperature, no matter how the air is heated.
 Some people imagine steam or | hot water. radiators do not dry the | air out as much as the air furnace does. There is no choice between them on that score. The thing that determines the relative humidity or dryness of the atmosphere-which- ever way you prefer to put it--is | the degree to which, you heat the air. At 64 to es degrees F. the air still retains a fair amount of water vapor, and is conditioned" for comfort. With every degree of heat above 6S the air becomes drier and drier, so that by the time
 you get the temperature up to 70 or hgiher, you are treating your ! household to a regular sojourn in the sahara, at the trihing expense Of the extra tons of coal you burn to achieve your fiendish end.
 There are now available various axceIient humidfying systems which can be built in when the house is erected. For the sake of health, comfort and economy, every new home should include
 such provision for conditioning the | atmosphere. It saves not only health and good looks, but the fur ture and your plants. It certainly
 saves fuel. The installation and running ef

 Henley shook his head. "This is a police department. David." he said. Its not a school of dra- matics. We don't do things the way you see them on the stage and in movies. My men don't go around pretending they're gardneers and furnace men or whatever you call 1t. They're policemen"

 Whatever McNeal was figuring on he continued to keep to him. self It was because of this that on the following morning David Bannister dropped into Chief Hen- ley's office.
 The chief was busy but his sec retary said Bannister might see him in half an hour or so. Ban- mister waited and presently was ushered into the private office.

PARIS STYLES
BY MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP)-Where to. draw the
 neckline Is 8 question you should have definitely settled in your mind. Briefly, it should be high in the front and low in the back.
 There are exceptions and va riations, of course, but your general trend is the above. This goes also
 for evening. For the most formal
 of occasions your ball own may come so high in front as to touch
 your chin as you nod to friends,
 and such 9 gown may have no
 back whatever, the material sweep ing across the throat, over the shoulders and either straight down . over the shoulder-blades to the waist, or crossing very low at the end of the spinal column-or very near the end. \ | You may not like this line, and it isn't particularly happy for the
 boyishly fiat-chested woman. Her business, therefore, is to crush the material to give bulk across the chest and all Is well, for her back
 is probably just as good as her
 slightly more corpulent sister.
 i For street costumes the neck line often comes up almost to the lobes of the ears, sometimes fast ening at the nape of the neck or
 falling into curved line or W ! shaped draping. You may have a
 very shallow V in front and q deper but very narrow V in- the
 back, which makes the decollete
 an idea rather than an actuality. I --

2.-No, not justified but easily ex- pained. Prof Walter Miles of Yale, brilliant psychologist, points out that the professions such as law or medicine build up a sort of enemy that they are supposed to fight, and the patient or client does not like to think of himself as that enemy. Each profession, thus, builds up sort of barricade around itself and presents rather aggressive front to society. Prof Miles thinks these ideas inconsi- derate, but. he finds them a real source of antagonism against what is often contemptuOusiy referred to as the "so-ca1led expert"

Tissue cream which should be put on your face and neck be- fore retiring and left on all night, must be applied with great care.
 If your skin is warm and stimu- ishing or tissue cream, 1t will do twice as much good. So slap on cleansing cream, wipe it off with upward and outward strokes and then pat on a tonic. Don't be afraid to slap the skin, particular ly around the corners of the mouth and up under the chin.
 When the tonic has had a chance to dry, begin to smooth on t.te nourishing cream. Begin right at the base of your throat and con- tinue upward over your forehead to the hairline.
 Some girls like to use a rubber brush when they apply tissue cream. You can get one in any Five and Ten cent store. Dip it in the cream an drub it over your face.
 When the cream completely cov- CTS your face and neck, using your thumb and foreflnger, start at the lower corners of your mouth and with small, pinching gestures, gently massage the skin along the line from the corners >of your mouth to the sides of your nose. Lift up the flesh as you pinch.
 Then with your forefinger and third finger pat the space between your, brows on your forehead. Keep on batting until every sug- gestion of line disappears.

Then it was Roberts turn. At four years old he hardly knows what Q New Year resolution is, but he does know what Q promise is. His blue eyes were very seriously, therefore, as he slipped hls hand into Claire's and whispered, Il won't ever cut your dolls hair off again!" So, thought to myself, that's why Claire's new Christmas doll is wearing new bonnet!
 So the resolutions were made, and strengthened as they were by Mrs. Johnson's popcorn. have an idea that they will be kept. Healthy self criticism is a good habit, and q resolution made voluntarily like that is apt to "stay put" in child's mind.

human conduct was practicable when he said: "A soft answer .turneth away wrath" If you doubt it try calling the first man you meet a liar and the second one a scholar and gentleman or rather reverse this order or you will likely not be able to see the second.

CHAPTER xxyI1

The death of Al Drugan, known to be a close friend of Tracy Kings brought the King murder mystery into blazing headlines once moro On street corners and at dinner ta. bles little else was talked of. News paper columns devoted to letters to the editor" heightened by inches Why. indignant Underwriters de- manded, had the police not solved this crime? Why had they not ap- prehended the murderer? How could honest, law-abiding citizens feel safe in their homes at night when such criminals were al large?
 There were newspaper ac- counts, too, hinting that the "ac- cfdent" in which Drugan met his death was something far more sinister. Captain McNeal had re- fused to be quoted on the subject, but many others knew the facts.
 Bannister and J. Randolph Gainey talked it over, sitting in a corner of the Post city room.
 What gets me-" Gainey de- clared, 'is the fact that whenever . piece of news breaks you man. age to be there before 1t happens. Not just afterward but before! That's what I can't understand. Wont you tell me how you do it? There was the day Denise Lang walked into police head quarters with her story about the other girl. Then there's this ac- cident and you find Drugan's body"
 s ''Coleman really did that" Bannister objected. "He saw the car before I did"
 "Yes, but you got the story just the same. I don't see how you do 1t! Here I plug away all day long"
 "And you're doing a swell job!" Bannister told him crisply. "An excellent job. I just happened to be lucky a coupleof times as anyone might be. But luck isn't enough to see you through a job like this."
 "oh, isn't it? We'll, wish I had some of yours, just the same"
 There was a silence for a mo- ment. then Gainey went on. sDrugan ran into bad luck, too" he said. You know I've been Thinking all day about that talk we had with him the other night"

 There was a pause again, un- broken until Bannister said, "Our friends at headquarters don't seem to be making much progress to- ward bringing Joe Parrott in, do they?"
 And I suppose it's occurred to you that with Drugan out of the way they can't make much of a case against Parrott anyhow ? McNeal's been complaining all along that they didn't have any thing against him except Drugan's story"
 Maybe they've got something more now" Bannister volun- teered.
 You mean it wasn't an acci. dent? That it was Parrott who got Drugan? Do you really think that?"
 "AlI I said was 'maybe,' Ban- mister reminded him. "Parrott's got friends, suppose. There may have been someone who knew Drugan had been talking. He
