Style Chats

 Paris (UP)-At this season the ensemble which can be worn from 5 o'clock to midnight takes first place in the wardrobe of the aver- age woman who wants to be suitab-, ly dressed but cannot afford the numerous changes of costume that 6 fatter pocketbook permits. One ensemble, if carefully selected. can be worn for cocktails, the not-too- formal dinner party. bridge or the theater.
 Lanes and velvets are materials that can be adapted practically for the tailored all-time suit. For ex- ample, Q wine red lame, faintly wrought with gold makes one of the new dressy suits with a slim. ankle-length skirt which flares slightly at the hem, and e short basque jacket flared sufiiciently to balance the fulness ct the feet. The blouse can be changed to suit the occasion, gold lame for dressier wear and Q simpler blouse of wine lame flor informal occasions.
 This type of suit is even more practical in dark velvet. Ivory sa- tin can make the practical blouse, while one of silver, gold or colored lame immediately makes the suit more formal still e third cos- tune can be made by wearing the skirt with e top of black velvet made high at the neck with long. tight sleeves and split down the back to add q touch of formality.

l. In his very able book, repre- senting many years of research, es- pecially on dogs, '"rhe Physical Basis of Personality" Dr Charles R. Stock ard, of Cornell, maintains that the glands produce the tall, slender "linear type" as well as the broad, heavy lateral type" and that the former has the sort of temperament that leads to exploration, adventure, etc The evidence seems very strong that the glands do largely determine the bodily development and appear ance, but, as I have often pointed out, the evidence is also very strong that body shape, type and size has little if anything to do with either intelligence or type of temperament and peorsanlity traits. Naturally fat men would not do well as explorers or mountain climbers no matter how much they might like these adven- lures. However, Dr Stockard makes out 8 strong case for his theories based on his experiments

Button, Button" Is Fashion Game
 That's Getting Tremendous Play
BY MARIAN YOUNG NEA Service Stan Correspondent

 New York.-Buttons in all shapes, sizes and colors, fancy collars, bright scarfs and belts distinguish the soft winter woolen dresses that interest the fashion-minded woman these days. Even though it be an- other shirtwaist model, the trim. ming on the wool dress she buys to wear alone now and under 8 fur coat later on will make it look dif~ fferent and unusual
 You can, for instance, ste p out in Q moss green WOO1en with brown leather button and belt, and a cherry red scarf. Match it with brown accessories, stick a red feAth- CT in the brown hat and youU be picture of srnartness.
 Another Combination <. Or get . smart medium blue herringbone tweed, like the one Illustrated here today at the left, top 1t with a wine hat to match the Ascot scarf and you'll have an outstanding outfit. Equally chic is the frock in the center. This comes in rust herringbone tweed, has a white pique collar, 8 black belt and black buttons on the diagonal closing.
 The other dress (right), in green herringbone with white pique collar and cuffs and shiny metal buttons down the back is neat and trim for the ofice, cor-. rect on the street and really nice enough for luncheon and informal bridge. Intricate shoulder seams and 8 slit at the back are. high styled touches that count.
 You should, of course, remem- Der to pick 8 woolen that will hold its shape. Look at the vivid shades before you decide to stick to conventional black, browns and dark blues of winter.
 Most Popular CoIors
 Tangerine, rich violet, moss green, bright red, rust, yellow, wine, fairly light blues and clear yellows are especially good. Choice of accessories is the real test Of your good taste. It is smart to have three or even four colors in one outfit, and although they aren't supposed to match, they must harmonize with each other in 8 subtle sort of way.
 On Fifth avenue the other day, woman in plain black tweed jacket suit wore red hat, nat ural chamois gloves and Ascot. Close behind her was a tall girl in 8 blue woolen dress with wine colored wool shawl collar, wine shoes and bag, darker blue hat trimmed with 8. blue ornament to match the dress, and eggsfell gloves of kidskin. Both showed what can be done with color.

A MONOTONOUs SUCCESSION
 OF BOILS

One boil or two or three in suc- cession is furunculus, but when 1t becomes habit we call 1t furunculo- sis. In the good old days when doc- tors had only to pronounce things it was sufficient to explain furuncu- losis as a matter of run down condi- ton, lowered resistance or bad blood. Today we have to spell things and it is not so easy to account for suc- ceSsion of boilS. But we are still re- sourceful and if it comes to 8 pinch we can always subdue curiosity by introducing the word netabolism. Generally that queits them, all right.
 It seems that boils are more likely to occur when there is deficiency of carbohydrate metabolism, no fooling. That means inability to burn sugar well. If the sugar is not readily oxidized or burned to furnish energy in the body, an ex- cess of sugar accumulates in blood and tissues. This is frequently found in cases of recurring boils. It may be 8 temporary condition. Again in some instances it is the be- ginning of diabetes.
 Incidentally, we have learned in the past two or three years that an adequate supply of vitamins is es. sential to maintain normal carbo- hydrate metabolism or to restore the body's power to burn and utilize sugar when this vital function is im- paired. Mind, this is incidental; I am not suggesting that vtiamins cure boils, although good authorities have observed undue frequnecy of boils in the history of patients suf- fering from lack of yitamins A. 0 and B and G.
 Careless or unskilled handling of Boil No. 1, and transplantation of pus-germS from this to a new site of operation is probably the common cause of Boil No. 2 and 50 on ad finiturn.
 One excellent first aid treatment for anything that threatens to be- come a boil is the immediate appli- cation of thin disc of ordinary toilet soap the size of the thumb nail to the young pimple, and then a strip of adhesive plaster to hold this in place. Soap is an excellent antiseptic. Reminds me of the good old soap and brown sugar treatment grandma used for stone bruises when we were kids in Canandaigua. I don't know whether the sugar added anything to the remedial value of the poultice. but I've never found anything better in materia medica with the possible exception of old Doc Salve which some of you old timers may remember.
 Speaking of soap. which perhaps I should do, in view of my depIorable attitude toward bath tubs, wish to 20 on record as of the opinion that not nearly enough soap is used in this country today, first by the young people for cleansing and beautifying their faces, and second by everybody for washing their hands. Tn well regulated households there is 6 rigid rule requiring that the children carefully wash their hands before they come to table to eat. There ig greater need for such a rule for grownups who eat in hotel dining rooms, restaurants, lunch rooms. It is not SO much. tho visible dirt as 1t is the invisible pollution

of the hands that matters, and the best way to remove that is by Q thorough washing with plain soap and water-sanitary essentials which some health authorities too readily waive.

 Bobby gaped, his mouth open, his vocal chords seemingly unable to function. At last he managed to gulp. "Stolen?"
 "Yes. Those were what we call hot bonds, Bobby. We've been look ing for them for weeks in the hope that their appearance would lead us to the gangsters, And when we do find them-we discover that you yourself sold theml"
 Bobby still sat with his mouth open, seemingly dazed. At last he passed 8 hand across his forehead and said weakly, Good Lord!"
 Larry eyed him for a moment. Then he said gently, "Now suppose you tell me everything about it. where you got them, how you hap- pened to go to Montague with them, what you got for them, and every thing"

As satisfactory as it is new is 8 cold wax depilatory that can be used at home. It removes hair from the legs, leaving them soft and white, and takes no more time for application than any ordinary cream variety.
 Simply take @ small portion of the cold brown wax from the jar and smear 1t on a small hair-cov- cred area on one leg. It has to be thick enough merely to cover the hairs.
 Now press piece of cotton fam mel or gauge on top of the wax. Holding the flesh on your leg with one hand, use the other to pull off the cotton in the opposite direction from which the hairs grow. Do not pull gently. It must be done quick ly and firmly.
 Afterward, rub both legs with some kind of astringent to close the pores and remove little specks of wax. It can be used under the arms, too. Incidentally, unlike most wax depilatories, this can be washed of with cold water-a handy thing to keep in mind in case you haven't nerve enough to pull of the strip of flannel.
 Also new and satisfactory, is an inexpensive indelible lipstick. It comes in all colors, is easy to apply and actually does stay on for three hours.
 Remember that npstick always must be applied on dry lips. Wipe them carefully, put on the lipstick. let 1t set and wipe of the surplus with cleansing tissues. Do not moisten your lips for at least five minutes.

CHAPTER XIX

We can't wait any longer," he said. We've got to strike. I'm going out to talk to this Wallace boy and see if I can get lead from him about the identity of these people who unloaded the bonds on him. Frank, you and Al go down to the Golden Feather, buzz the drivers at the taxi stand outside, and see if you can find out where these people live. Tony, you and Tommy are to get hold of this Art Lanning, who runs the place, put the heat on him, and find out every thing he can tell you about them.
 Check in as soon as you learn anything. The moment we find their hangout, we'll raid it!'
 When Larry Glenn arrived at the sales rooms of the State Auto Sales, Inc, he found that Bobby Wallace was out with prospect, and he had to wait for more than an hour before the young man returned. When Bobby finally did come in, he came over to Larry with 8 smile and ln outstretched hand.
 Larry shook his hand and said quietly, Bobby, I've got to have a little talk with you. Can you come ,utside for a while and perch in y car with me?"
 Why, sure. Whats up?"
 Tell you when we get outside"
 They walked to where Larry's ;ar was parked and got into the front seat. There Larry sat for a moment, frowning at the instru- ment panel, while Bobby looked at nim in slowly rising bewilderment.
 Bobby" said Larry at last, T think you've just done the most foolish thing of your whole life, and I want you to tell me every thing you can remember about it."
 Bobby looked at him in utter wonder.
 "What on earth" he began.
 'Tell me-" said Larry, "all about those bonds you sold to Don Mon- tague."
 Those bonds" began Bobby. He turned toward the detective. Why, what's wrong with them?"
 Larry smiled 8 wry smile.

lent book, Modern Marriage" ar- gues that the custom is due chiefly to the fact that women mature earlier than men, a girl of 18 being about as mature as . boy of 2l. No doubt this partly accounts for 1t but I think also the almost universal de- sire of men to be superior to their wives has 8 lot to do with it. Whether differences in age either way affect married happiness I shall discuss later.

said. "You could even ride in one without knowing what 1t was, unless you knew what to look for. The window glass is extra thick, for one thing - and the car is almost twice as heavy as the ordinary car"
 There was another silence.
 T doubt if that car would have been kept in the shop for any lengths of time, if it really was what we suspect" Larry went on at last. Too many people would have been apt to notice some- thing. I suspect that 1t was brought in the night before, and that no more than one or two people in the whole agency knew about it. In any case, here's what want you to do.
 T wish you'd keep your ears open as wide as they'll go and see if you can find out anything about 1t. Don't make yourself conspicuous by asking questions, of course. But if you can find out about anything anything at all, no matter how unimportant 1t may seem, that is the least bit out of the ordinary - make 8 note of it and let me know. This may be false trail; everything about that car may have been perfectly proper and legal; but we'll take no chances. VIII you see what you can learn?"
 T certainly will," said Bobby eagerly. T know 8 couple of the mechanics back in the shop prety well. LII see what I can pick up." :.
 Good. Be careful, remember. Don't let anyone notice that you're trying to find out any, thing. For remember = if this really is what we think it is, 1t would be dangerous if anyone noticed that you were growing curious"
 "Trust me-" said Bobby con-
 "Now there's one thing more, before go," said Larry. its aDout Jean.
 Bobby looked at him quickly. Montague didn't involve her in any of this bond business, did he?"
 "No. But I'm worried about her. How much has she been seeink of this fellow Harkins?"
 Bobby shook his head slowly.
 Not very much, don't think" he said. "She never says anything about him to me. Of course, she saw him two or three times before at the Golden Feather, but that was two weeks ago or more"
 T hope you're right. The one thing that would be worse than letting you get mixed up with this mob would be for her to be- come infatuated with one of its members"
 Bobby's eyes grew wider.
 "Oh, I don't think you need worry about that" he said hast- fly. "Jean and - I mean. we're gong to get married ct least think we are. I mean"
 Larry smiled ct him. "You mean you think she is too fond of you to become daxzled by anyone else?"
 Bobby blushed. well, I sort of hope 60, anyway" he said.
 "go do T." said Larry. For the sake of both of you"
 "Is this fzarkins really Q gang ster?" asked Bobby after 6 mos ment.
 T think he is," said Larry. "If I can get ct that hangout of theirs I ought to Do able to find out deii- niteiy. But even if he isn't he's keeping ewfully bad company" He smiled. "gureiy there aren't two people around town who are as trustin9iy innocent as you" He let Bobby out of his Cag

Says Bobby: "Why is that tree red and the other one yellow?" Mother answers the best she knows how, which isn't very ade- quately because she doesn't know herself.
 "Why do the little trees grow around the lake and all the biz ones on the hill2" Bobby wants to know.
 Because that is the kind of trees they are," says mother. /"But why don't the big ones grow around the lake and the little ones up there?"
 Maybe those little trees need more water"
 How can they get water?" The water isn't around them"
 rTheir roots under the ground get the water. Where there is a lake or river. the ground all around is very damp" Mere and More Involved Don't big trees need water?" Certainly. All things that grow need water"
 Do the roots of the big trees grow away down here? They must be awful long,"
 No they get enough water out of the ground" K "Then why do the little trees have to be near 8 lake or something if they can get water out of the gfound? Where is the water in the ground, mother?"
 Tt comes from the rain and soaks in and stays there."
 '"Then why" Bobby, stop asking questions. You know all about 1t now. never saw such 8 boy for asking ques- tions."
 Bobby wanted to know about wa ter under the ground and if it went into a big hole or what. This was getting into physical geography. Curiosity. Dies Young What began with the color of leaves promised to land up in geol- ogy and science. And in all proba- bility, from there to a discussion of astro-physics and meteorology. Or perhaps the banking system and the way to take care of bees. One thing leads to another always in . cur- ious child's mind. There is no end. There is always 8 beginning. If grown-upS were one ae-hundredth as curious about worthwhile things as children, they would, in no time at all, be as thoroughly educated as Archimedes, Euripides and Aristotle put together. But, alas, curiosity dies with the years; even twenty finds the bud closing.
 Certainly we don't educate chil- dren. They educate themselves. Oh, yes, we do our bit with pen and book, but 8 child of ten worth his salt will know 8 dozen times as all his books tell him. Don't laugh at curious children. Instead, give them all you can give. Some day when you stick your head out of the car window to ask some old burgher the way to Hurricane or Tousle Top. it will most likely be 8 ten-year-0ld kid who pipes the answer while Old Burgher is still scratching his head.

Sometimes, in the casual age, & is | fun to revere the elegance of the past. So I went to 8 sumptucus Victorian tea one day last week, 8 | big party given by a club of women who have been meeting together for 20 years. Where they ever found all the Understanding silver cake bas- kets and glass plates supported by hands and elaborate epergnes is 8 mystery. But they were all there and filled repeatedly with the best cookies and cakes you ever tasted -hermits, almond cakes, hickory nut macaroons, ginger squares and lady fingers, everyone home made. Nearly every woman there seemed as much interested as she was in the talk on Victorian Art which was made by the head of a well known art school.
 Of course, you don't need the set- ting to serve, the same cakes. Use your simplest but most col0rful linen, bright pottery, best silver and nobody will miss the epergnes.
 Hickorynut Macaroons
 Whites 2 eggs, 1-2 cup pulverized sugar, 1-2 cup chopped nut meats. 1-2 teaspoon salt, IA teaspoon va nilla.
 Beat whites of eggs until stiff, beating in sugar and salt. Fold in nuts and vanilla and drop from tip of spoon onto 8 buttered paper spread over 8 baking sheet Bake 20 minutes in a slow even (300 de- grees F).
 Ginger Squares
 One cup molaSSeS, 1-2 cup gram ulated sugar, 1-2 cup shortening, 2 1-2 cups flour, 1 cup boiling wa ter, 2 tablespoons soda, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1-2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1-4 teaspoon cloves, Ia teaspoon salt, 2 eggs.
 Cream shortening and sugar. Add molasses and half the flour. Mix and sift remaining flour with spices and salt. Add 1-2 cup boiling wa- ter to first mixture. Add remaining N dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Dissolve soda in remaining boiling water and stir rapidly into better. Add eggs well beaten and turn into a greased and fioured dripping pan. Bake35 minutes in a moderate oven (37 degrees FO. Sprinkle with granulated sugar and cut in small squares or bars before removing from the pan.
 This is a good recipe to divide if you want only half as much. Half of it will make Q square of about eight inches.
 Alomnd Cakes
 Whites 2 eggs, pound powdered sugar, 1 pound shelled almonds, teaspoon salt, table spoons cocia, teaspoon vanilla.
 Beat whitse of eggs until stiff Put nutes through fine knife of food chopper. Almonds are not blanched. Mix ground nuts and sugar and CO., coa and fold into beaten egg whites. Add salt and vanilla and drop from tip of spoon onto a buttered bak- ing sheet. Bake 30 minutes in a slow oven (300 degrees F.). Before baking whole blanched almond may be pressed in thescenter of each cake.
