and I'll get you some flowers. :"
''Never mind the flowers,
darling" she said hastily. I'll
ask Irene"
That's a wonderful idea.
She'll be so pleased. I bet you
two will end up great friends"
Helen gave him a sickly smile
as she asked for Mrs. Terhune.
Irene, this is Helen. Helen
Riley, Walters wife. Irene,
would you mind telling mel
mean, Irene, what should I
wear to the dinner"
Did she imagine it or did she
hear Irene cackle with merri-
ment?
Have you a lace or net frock
without sleeves and not cut too
low in the front?"
Il have a brown net dress,
but oh, dear, it has sleeves!"
mo, that won't do. Have you
a silver or gold or black dress
without sleeves? If not, you
must get one at once. A din

Simple, severe"
Eyes, I have a silver lace
dress. It's got an oval neck but
it's got rather a low back"
"No one will look at your

around your neck but no colored
beads"
"Oh, no, I don't even own
any"
VERY we'll. Anything else?"
'No, thank you, Irene. Thank
you very much" she stammered.
Helen hung up the receiver.
Her hands were wet.

my lord, Helen, you look
beautiful" Walter exclaimed as
she came into the living room
where he sat with the evening
papers. He rose as she came in.
''That's a lovely shift. You are
simply beautiful"
Ordinarily Helen would have
taken heart. She knew she
looked nice. The dress had the
same tone values as her hair,
and her rounded slimness set
off the gown to perfection. Her
wrap had a full silver fox collar
that gave her added height and
her platinum olored hair melt
ed into its soft fluff. But Helen
even had doubts whether her
evening wrap was quite suitable,
as several women and all the
men turned around to stare at
her as they crossed the lobby.
She was actually numb with
stage fright as they entered the
Terhune apartment. The Ter
hune's old butler took her wrap
and ushered her into a guest
bedroom with a connecting
bath. Helen had never in her
life met a butler face to face
and she had no idea why she
was shown into a bedroom, but
concluded it might be for a
final examination of her toilet.
But when she shook hands
with old Mrs. Terhune, her
stage fright magically vanished.
Mrs. Terhune reminded Helen
so vivdly of her Grandmother
Schiller that she uttered a little
exclamation of joy and to

ways been that way. Finish off your breakfast and we'll go up and see what's there."
 The "storeroom" proved to be one of the big, unused bedrooms on the second floor. It was in a state of riotous disorder, but the smell of moth balls attested to Penny's struggle to keep the room free of those particular pests. The old woman pointed to an immense carton of heavy cardboard. "Thats the box, Miss Elaine"
 As she opened 1t, Ruth fell on her knees with a cry of delight. Penny said, You'll recognize your own clothes. Maybe they're a lit- tie out of style, to your way of thinkin'. but they'll do fine"
 There were two evening dresses on top. One was shell-pink velvet, the other was cream -colored lace. "Oh-hi" breathed Ruth, and held them up in front of her. The vel vet, she saw, was cut with deep back decollete. The lace frock had puffed sleeves, @ tiny round collar and brilliant buttons down the front of the tight bodice. It was torn a bit in the founce, but half an hour with careful needle would restore it. Ruth caressed the pretty things with trembling hands.
 Here's a coat" said Penny, dragging out woolen garment and casting it aside. You don't need that"
 Don't T." said Ruth in a tight voice. She saw it was blue win- ter sport suit with three-quarter length coat and round, trickily cut, gray fur collar. In the box were two contrasting skirts to go with it and several smart sweaters. The sweaters needed only ten- der abusing in, soap flakes and a few skillful stitches to make them perfect again. "Handmade!' Ruth thought rapturously.
 Penny said, "I reckon it's warm

 q can use 1t nicely" Ruth said quietly.
 q can use 1t nicely" Ruth said quietly.
 That's good" Penny replied. They explored deeper. There was winter coat of black material, conservatively cut and collared with black fox, which Ruth per- suaded Penny to take as her own. There was nothing else, however. that tho old woman wanted since she always wore "plain black" she said, and had a chest full of things already that she had accumulated from Miss Gwen's boxes."
 Ruth found an exciting dress of dark blue crepe which she felt sure had been Elaine's. It had monks hood collar. a silk rope belt and the most wickedly alluring sleeves imaginable. There was the faint odor of an exotic perfume clinging to it. Ruth thought, "I'll wear this for John" and. her heart skipped three beats.
 In the bottom of the box were few pieces of lingerie, several small felt hats, an evening coat of brown velvet, and three pairs of shoes. "This is lucky, too," said Ruth. The gold evening slippers were hardly scuffed at all; the walking oxfords were worn but still shapely; the severe black pumps (minus one buckle, but otherwise perfect) were all girls heart could desire. Their size, six double A, did not disnay Ruth; her own trim foot was only slightly shorter.
 Penny" she said, gathering up her chosen clothes as Cinderella might have done before the ball, "let charity fall where 1t will"
 What say, Miss Elaine?" asked Penny, getting up stiffly. But already she had forgotten the girls queerly spoken words. "This room needs tidying up," she re- marked. "I hope You won't tell your stepfather how I let things go. I don't want to be pensioned off," Again that look of apprehen- sion-and something else. Could 1t be craft?
 Ruth was too happy to wonder. (To Be Continued)

PARIS STYLES
By MARY FENTREss

Paris UP)-Fashion trends are so varied this year that after seeing 6 dozen or so of the moro import ant collections, it is almost impos. sible to predict which style VIII take hold and become permanent fashion features for winter.
 The Italian influence is noted at almost every house. usually In wide, flowing sleves, squared necks ana ieweled belts. The rich materials in soft reds, blues, purple and rust shades, have been inspired by Ital- ian Renaissance paintings.
 Some houses stress Grecian draperies for evening in chinons' satins and georgettes. Skirts either are caught up in loops Of drapery or are split to the knee revealing much more of the leg than last seasons gowns.
 One house even goes so Tar as evening gowns with low-cut backs edged by circular fiounces. The skirts come to mid-calf length ana the gowns are reminiscent or the short-skirted era of 1927 and 1928.
 Many houses are making an CT fort to establish trouser vogue. Split skirts are shown everywhere for sports. The pants are pressed to simulate front and pack pieats and are so full that they LOOK ike one piece skirts. One house shows a tailored suit with ankle length trousers Ia Marlene Dietrich.

 YOURSELF
NBy Alicia Hart },

The girl who wants to make the most of her best features and to draw attention away from not so-good ones should study her face carefully and experiment with hair styles and cosmetics. The right coiffurc can make a too long nose seem shorter, or an ex- tremely thin face appear plumper. The trick lies in being able to analyze your own faults and in knowing what to do once You've admitted them to yourself.
 If Your nose is long and point ed, never part your hair in the mids:e. If it is short, by all means do wear your hair with the part in the center.
 If you have 8 long, thin face, coiffure that fluffs out slightly at the sides will be most flattering. Girls with short, plumps faces can very well go in for sleeked back hair styles, perhaps even the types that show both ears.
 Pert curls that fly across the forehead and in front of ears gen. orally are best for youthful, rath- CT small, piquant faces. The tall, stately type of beauty Is most flattered by coiffure that har- monizes becomingly with her own features and makes no attempt to look cute.
 Your hairdresser should con- centrate on the shape of your face before he starts to put in a finger wave or marcel. Diagonal waves that slant upward from front to back usually aren't good on very long faces. They emphasize the long line from chin to crown whereas straight up-and- -down waves serve to break that line.

pitable streets to seek escape. And now they seemed far away and un- important, like people in a dream.
 "I must write to Cousin Bessie, |" Ruth decided. Shell worry about me if she doesn' hear" And yet she knew the worry would be mild. In Bessie Lawrence's world of fam fastic manuscripts, nothing could seem very strange, not even Ruth's impulsive flight.
 For 6 hopeful moment or two Ruth considered asking the Law rences to send her clothes to her. Then she dismissed the idea, re- alizing that she must wait until she could receive them under her own name. She thought respectfully of the things she so needed and must do without. How rash she had been to come off in such a headlong way!
 Ruth went downstairs and, while Penny was bringing her breakfast to the table, went into the drawing room and raised the lid of the old square piano which she had pol ished the day before. Running her fingers over the tinkling yellow keys she played Happy Birthday to You!" and sang 1t precisely, us- ing Penny's name in the refrain to make 1t personal.
 The old woman came to the door, r-coffee-pot in hand and beam ing with pleasure. Mercy me, Miss Elaine! I remember they used to sing that song at your birthday parties. And now you're singin' it special for mel"
 Ruth smiled absently as she rose | from the piano and kissed the old woman's withered cheek. She said, We used to sing 1t at Sunday School too, Penny" She was think ing of the last time she had heard 1t. The children in her Sunday school class had sung it on her 12th birthday and she was sup posed to respond by dropping 12 pennies into the class bank. The cousin with whom she was living ut the time had failed to supply her with the meager handful of copper pieces which would have saved her pride, and Ruth had stood blushing and pulling at her handkerchief while the children stared. She came back from the past and smiled at the atten- tive old woman.
 While Ruth was eating, Penny brought up the subject of clothes She said, Miss Elaine, if you don't want to wire back for your clothes ito school or home or wherever you forgot and left 'em-there's somethin' else we might do about 1t. We might find you something in the storeroom. That box your mother sent for Saint Stephens rummage sale last spring got here too late. The ladies were right put out, Knowing what good things your mother always sends. When it finally go' here dragged 1t up to the store. room. It's not been opened"
 "Oh!" said Ruth, her eyes spar kling. "Do you suppose any of thu clothes would f1t me?"

Henry proudly displays his new school books to his mother. We haven't . single old book in the whole room," he announces im- portantIy. New geographies and everything"
 That certainly is unusual" says Mrs. Smith taking the firm shiny volumes in her hands and smooth ing them as one does who loves books. But look, Henry, you have pulled your strap too tight and this history is dented already"
 I'll be more careful" promised the boy.
 Intrigued by the feel of glossy paper and the innocence of i'm maculate margins, he begins to study at once. Suddenly from the street . playmate whistles. Before he thinks, he has smashed the open geography upside down on the coach and beckoned Church from the window. In comes the boy and pops right down on the book. Chuck has related his enter prising idea almost to its conclus- ion before Henry realizes that his new treasure Is in jeopardy. He rescues it by giving Chuck q push. The result is several crumpled leaves and a badly buckled map.
 Under Misapprehcnsion.
 "Oh, that's all right" Chuck assures him. Tt always comes out when the books been shut for awhile" Children don't realize that once a page is "wounded" and , the surface broken deep creases and tears easily follow.
 Henry lays his speller on the washstand. At once tooth paste and water smear the cover and even penetrate the edges. Henry cuffs 1t off. No damage visible but now this book has a look of ex- pefience.
 Within a week all of Henry's books have suffered; there are two doS-ears, a couple of ensures on ny leaves and a generally swollen appearance shared by all because their owner had forgotten to get them out of the rumble seat on Friday and 1t had rained.
 Others Are Even Worse.
 Our young friend takes aver age care of his books at that. In his room there are other children who have no more regard for book that they have for candy wrappers. Their attitude reflects their training which in so many cases, alas. is entirely negative as far as book-care is concerned.
 Inside the house the school book may be plaything for the baby, a football for brother, an ironing stand for mother or an ash tray for dad.
 "lts only school book" seems to carry with 1t special psychol- ogy for abuse. But let a detective story come into view, and until inc family has read it to man as well as all the relations, it at least earns respite on the piano or radio. Baby no touch'

Juvenile Costumes For Fall Put Accent On Childish Charm
les Sn Gouprub Designs Lspsion And Offer Atrace Sir,
By MARIAN YOUNG NEA Service Stan Correspondent

NEA ScrVice btaH OOftebBOuOcub
 New York-New school and play clothes for the smallest members of your family aren't patterned af- ter grown-up designs. This is a season to dress your young hope fuls in simple, childish costumes that set off their onw naive charm.
 Start six-year-old Mary off to kindergarten each morning in frocks made of old-fashioned ging- hams, percales and linens which was beautifully and are easy to iron. Let some of these be rather fall but plain little numbers that hang from shoulder yokes. Others can be shirred at the shoulders or pleated from neckline to hem, with pleats stitched down at the waist line and left open above and below to allow for plenty of tree-climb- ing activities.
 Sleeves are extremely short, often puffed, and sometimes trim med with braid or strips of self material in contrasting shades. All dresses for children under six should be as short as possible.
 Keep Dresses Short Until 6.
 Coats for early fall days are made of washable flannel or wool en and are teamed up with hats that match. Later on, a leather coat, double-breasted and strictly tailored, is good bet for both boys and girls. The leather coats and short jackets, too, come in all fall colors, including navy, brown, gold, orange and various greens.
 Brother and sister outfits are especially f1attering to little boys and girls who are about the same age. Dress your small son in a linen suit with white collar and put his little sister in linen dress and panties of identical color. Top these with twin coats, hand them matching lunch boxes and pack them off to school.
 For parties and dancing school, there are lovely organdy, dotted swiss and washable silk frocks, trimmed with red lace, tiny tucks and other handsome touches. One particularly attractive d a II c s school dress of imported blue or gandy with a shadowy dot has square collar finished with val lace. A pink ribbon runs through lace insertion around the fitted waist line. The short skirt pillows out ward about the knees.
 Another nice party frock of pale yellow crepe is accordion pleated from the bottom of the white shoulder yoke to the hemline. A large white bertha collar, edged with lace, covers the yoke.
