You'll be so proud OF q house
frock you've made yourself, Tor
it's an easily realized economy,
and one well worth repeating.
Yoke, sleeves and front bodice
panel are cut all in one. thus a
three-way time-saver. The bodice
is gathered ever so slightly to
lend that needed fulneSS back
and front, while an inverted
pleat is an asset to any straight
line skirt that climbs to cup
boards via a stepladder. Don't
the patch pocket give it a
tailored air? The V-neck may
have just two reverS. as pic
tured, or a collar to finish off
the back, as you please. Choose
colorful square buttons for a
striped Shirting frock.

MARTINS FERRY, o. QN.SO.
Locked in a mine office, a po'
lice dog knocked over a tele'
phone. shook the receiver hook
with his paw and barked until
he was released. The telephone
operator at the Wheeling Steel
Corporation switchboard saw a
light flash from the company'S
coal mine office, and heard the
dog bark.
Shortly thereafter word came
from the mine that a strange
dog had been locked in by mis-
take. It was released.

Alcohol Found In Body Discovered
 Will Not Burn
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 CHICAGO, June-It is a popular belief in Rumania that the body of a person, soaked with alcohol, is combustible, reports the Bucharest correspondent of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
 Professor A. Elfer of Cluj, in a popular lecture before the Hygien- ic society, said that in past centuries it was earnestly deemed possible that the alcohol laden breath of a tippler might catch fire from the glow of an oven or even from his own pipe.
 Cases of "combustio spontanea" the burning of the body of itself, have been reported, especially in France, the first one in 1725.
 From the study of several hun dreds of recorded cases it is evident that "self-igniting' this was it's scientific term at that time) was more frequent with women than with men, more common in winter than in summer, and more com mon in cases of acute drunkenness than in normal conditions.
 It is probable that they were sim

est man-snatcher I ever saw. I GER
tainly would hate to have her con-
centrate on me. Her technique is sc
perfect you can't detect it,"
Then Delicia must be absolutely
right about the way Lila was to han
die Ford, the girl decided.
"You see what break your being
in love with omeone else gives me p
Ford went on. eve can be pals, and
it's every mans hope to have one
platonic friendship in his life. He
may forget all his passing love affairs
but he'll never forget the one girl
who didn't want to marry him"
They sat in silence then, while Lila
thought that over. 1t seemed so I'M
demanded, somehow, to lead Ford on
to believe it was only friendship she
wanted from him, only practice in the
game of love, when all the time she
was tricking him nearer and nearer
to the altar. If only she didn't love
him so hard, she could be friends with
him. But it wasn't friendship that
she wanted. 1t was marriage. 1t
was to be the center of the universe
to him, as he was to her.
She sighed and he picked up her
hand and carried it to his lips.
"You're such a restful person, Lila.
You meet my moods exactly"
"I'm glad," she said simply, turning
her head to look into his eyes, with
any idea what the moonlight revealed
in hers.
"But I've got to stop wanting to
kiss you, and remember there's an i'm
portant man in your life," he added.
"Do you want to kiss me? Really? 2"
"Do you want me TOT" he asked,
pulling her closer.
"Do you-think I-ought to prac-
tice kissing too" she asked breathless-
ly, just before Ford's lips closed down
on hers. And then, while time stop
ped and the stars above spun dizzily
in blue bowl, of delight, ecstasy grip
ped her. Such a kiss as she had new
ed imagined. The sort of kiss that
creates an Unsuitable appetite for
more and more such kisses.
And then, all too soon, it was over,
and Ford's strong hands on her Shout
ders set her far away from him in
her own corner of the seat.
"No," he said-and his voice was as
choked as hers would have been if
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1935-02-15

she had tried to speak. eve won't
practice kissing. You don't need any
practice at that. Boy! Such kiss!''
81 suppose" she said with little
breaths between the words, "that you
wouldn't believe-I'd never-been kiss
ed like that-before."
Like what?" he asked.
GAS if kisses were the most impor-
tant things in the world"
Love is an art, my DEAR" he said,
pulling out his handkerchief and test
ing his lips for rouge-and not find
ing any.
And right then it was--when she didn't
want to see them at all-that Delicia
and Don came down the clubhouse
steps looking for them.
And the next morning, when Lila
ran over to Delicia's house to tell her
what had happened and return the
white satin dress, Delicia lay back in
her chair and simply howled with glee.
ooh, it's too priceless!" she cried.
"The gods of love are working for
you, child. You've made more pro-
gress in one evening than I hoped for
in a month. You've got all his de-
fenses down. All you have to do now
is give him more of the same for a
month. Can dog"
For a month Lila did give him more
of the same, except that there weren't
any more kisses. It wasn't hard to
fall into their habit Of careless banter,
and say some light and frivolous
thing when she was thinking that
she'd die if Ford didn't hurry up
and kiss her again. It wasn't hard to
match their hilarious moods when high
balls were being handed around. She
and Ford had their secret. He always
mixed the drinks and she always
drank undiluted ginger ale. But she
was so happy that she didn't need
artificial stimulation.
The foursome drove and picnicked
and swan and LACED on the beach in
the sun and came back to Delicia's
cottage for drinks all that month,
and then Delicia, watching, said to
Lila one day:
81 think Ford's ripe. He can't keep
his hands off of you. He can't talk
about anything else but his marvellous
platonic friendship with you. I think
it's time to begin talking about. the
prospective visit of the man you're
in love with. You're about due to
start the serious part of the business
with that complacent gent, my dear"
