 Parts. (UP)-There is, no doubt about the beauty of the clothes and their practicability as we'll made by Nina Ricci, but the photo graphs of them made by Semo Flechine give them an added sophistication and flare.
 When you turn the pages of Vogue and other fashion magazines and see Nina Ricci's styles you will know Avhat real camera in the hands of a photographic artist can do in the way of expressing the meaning of lovely fabrics designed by real dressmaking artist.
 Ricci makes an ensemble, for instance, in pale reversible satin for evening. The skirt can we re- moved from the dress and worn with the three-quarter coat and blouseas less formal outfit. Both coat and skirt also can be worn on the dull side, or on the shiny side of the crepe-satin.

She dried her hands, surveyed herself ill the mir TOT, made up her mind that she would go directly to Mir Happ and explain to him just why she had borrowed Bob Caise's automobile.
 She stepped from her bathroom, opened the door to her room, and suddenly recoiled.
 A masked man, wearing an over coat with the collar turned up around his neck, was ransackine the drawers of her dresser. He heard the sound of the door from the bathroom opening and sung around to face Millicent. She could see his eyes gleaming through the holes in the mask.
 Millicent, gave 8 half stifled scream. 'a,-
 The masked figure extended his hands as though about to throttle her and slowly advanced, teeth barred, eyes glittering, nostrils dis tended.

 He broke off and chuckled mean ingly.
 That chnckle told Afillicent, more than words.

AVOID GETTING FAT BY
 WATCHING CALORIES.
Weight Is Difficult to Lose Later
By MARY E. DAGUE NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA Service Stan Writer
 If one would be fair but not fat during the forties and fifties counting calories should begin In the thirties.
 The normal weight at thirty Is regarded as the most favorable for health during the succeeding years.
 To eat out of proportion to ones needs, either on the side of insufficiency or over-abundance, is to court disaster. Too little food and an unbalanced diet take toll of the body quite as surely as too much food.
 The tendency to put on super fiuous fat seems to be greater in women than in men-or at any rate more disturbing.
 Time to Start Dieting.
 The time to diet is when the first increase begins to be evident. Temperance in food is the only wholesome and certain way to reg ulate fat. A curb on the appetite at the first sign of increasing a. voirdupois may prevent the neces- sity for serious dieting later in life.
 After a great excess of fat has accumulated, the problem of its removal without more or less dam age to health becomes difficult. And rigorous reducing diet should not be undertaken without the ad- vice of the family physician. Many

Sergeant Mahoney stared across at Miliicent and said accusingiy' Why didn't you tell me you were in Harry Felding's room? Millicent sat silent.

 In the sketches at the left here today are three smart shoes for the leisure hours of a lady's life. At the top is flat-heeled evening sandal, piped with sil- yer kid and trimmed with a rhinestone buckle. Below 1t is a handsome toeless sandal of fabric in a paisley design.

GLORIFYING
 YOURSELF

Tn the spring perfume race, sim gle flower odors are ahead. Smart women are choosing those old fav- orites = lily of the valley, lilac, wild rose and carnation and wearing them in the evening as well as for daytime.
 In addition, because there is such a vogue for corsages and bouton- nieres of fresh violets, plain violet perfume is moro popular than il has been in years. If you are wear. ing a nosegay of artificial violets it's a splendid idea to sprinkle them lavishly with your violet perfum. cry.
 Then, too, there's a new per. fume on the market right now Called Chinese Chrysanthemum it is to be used sparingly.A few drops on a coat collar will last for at least ten days and a diminu- tive dash behind your ears or on wrists will stay fragrant all day. Remember, of course, that any perfume is more effective in a subtle sort of way if you put 1t directly on your skin. Besides, ap- plying it in this manner assures you that there will be no spots on your clothes and no stale smells in your closet.
 If you have an atomizer, by all means use it. It not, you might drop a few Easter gift hints to members of your family who, like as not, are confused as to what you'd like. Ask for one with some kind of patent top that prevents evaporation and a removable bulb that can be packed separately when you go away for the week end.

New York.-The shoe story this spring is colorful one--literally. .
 Never before have bright-colored shoes been 50 widely used. You won't see them on the street in town, of course, but just stroll along any boardwalk, around a resort hotel or in the eountry and you'll realize that women who pride themselves on knowing how to choose accessories have opened their hearts and pocketbooks to the new vogue.
 There are handsome suede ox- lords of blue. green. red. medium blue, yellowish tan and wine to go with sports suits. particularly tweed ones that show bright -colored fecks All of the have low heels. and some have no heels at all. They're perfect for golf and long hikes over hill and dale, and they're easier to keep clean than, plain white or black and white.
 Pumps in Grays
 To go with Easter suits and other tailored town clothes there is a breath-taking variety of navy blue and dark gray pumps and ox- lords. Black ones, fascinatingly trimmed with bands, dots and scrolls of white are better sellers than plain types.
 For daytime, look at high throated pumps and oxfords that cover up youy instep. For eve- ming, do just the opposite. As far as the dancing hours of spring and summer are concerned. the more that can be seen of your shore stockins, the better. The newest evening sandals show not only toes and sides of the feet, but heels as we'll.

1. This is by no means trivial
 question. Professor Marston T..
 Bogert, chemist, of Columbia Unt-
 versity, showed recently in the
 Scientific Monthly that most men
 smell their shoes when buying
 them; a woman always smells soap and many dress goods before buy
 ing; one large firm sends a per
 fumed Thank you," to women
 with every receipted bill. Many
 firms have spent large sums trying
 to overcome an unfavorable od0r
 of some product. One advertising
 firm recently sent out a question naire on the likes and dislikes of 55 different Odors. The most liked
 was rose, S5 per cent, with pine next, followed closely by lilac, vio. let, ly-of-the-valley and coffee. The most disliked odor was per- spiration, 97. per cent, next cam6 garlic, 93 per cent, with rubber l lard kerosene, fish and onions close followers.

 2. l ask some of these ques, tions, not because any one can give a final answer, but solely to rouse though. and discussion especially among young people. My answer is better" I base rpy belief that civilization has and will improve chiefly on the fact that we have something no previous civilization eyer had, namely organized science and, its increasing application to social; ;, economic and political life and above all to education.
 s. At. a recent meeting of lead- ing mental hygienists, Dr James s. Plant, director of the Newark, N. U. Juvenile Clinic said that in our search for the causes of crime we had been led back to the child and even to his parents and that, while the child's problems were simpler, his mind was as hard to understand as that of the adult, ! think most psychologists would agree.

 CHILDREN

Consider an electric train. In the eyes of children of differ ent ages it varies as much as & Clipper airship on a world cruise. The aviator thrills at it's power, the engineer at it's mechanical beauty, business men at It's speed. The savage naturally thinks of either angels or devils.
 So 1t is with toys. They are not what they are to us, who buy child who plays with them.
 This electric train now. Little Dick, age two, sees something rushing around with an awful racket in an awful hurry. He doesn't know what it is. He secs only motion and hears noise.
 His one idea is to try out his mus cles. He will kick, grab, shake, bite or slam the energetic littlo choo-choo once he catches up with 1t. His brother Jack Is four. He himself is putting on the show.
 To him the electric train is a train all right, but clothed in greater glory than red paint and tin. It belongs in Lets Pretend
 Land." It is to him the real train on the big track down by the river. Jack builds bridges for it to go over or under, new tracks out of cards; he piles 1t with cur ious cargoes and invents strange engineers.
 Don. aged six or seven, has be- come more matter-of-fact. He like Jack, dramatizes the train. but not as pretend" train. He sees it as it actually is and uses it
 precisely as he wished at the mo-
 ment. It Is a little tin train on a track on a carpet in a room. Just
 that and nothing more, though he does not enjoy it any the less. By the time he is teen or befoye he will know the name of every part of 1t and how it works and why.
 Thus do toys change for chil- dren with the years. Toys that keep children busy are best. A garden-set to Baby Dick will naturally only mean something to play horse with. Jack may make forts out of mud, or dig holes to fill with water to sail boat. Old- CT children know hoes and rakes and spades for what they are and see the possibilities of seed. Any child over six loves to have his own little patch of ground to
 work-only he calls 1t play. If
 we oldsters thrill over the first green shoots, children get double the kick. Besides it is good training. Something to take care of themselves Is always good train ing.

Ser geant Mahoney glanced at the word on the paper, nodded, folded the paper, and placed it on the table beside the automatic which he had previously placed there.

 Milicent, having jerked her hand free, regarded the linked tips of her fingers indignantly.
