 ''What a prize would be-" sht muttered. Anyone who captured me now would have every shred of evidence in the case"
 Her meditations were inter rupted by the ringing of the tele phone.
 Millicent stared at 1t with { feeling of panic. The steady, in sistent ringing of that telephon' bell seemed to indicate that sh' had been discovered.
 Slowly she crossed to 1t ant took the receiver from the hool
 The voice which came over tn, wire was that of the clerk at the desk. Miss Jones'" he said there's a gentleman here to se you"

 'The gentleman the clerl said, gave the bellboy a tip ant is on his way up. I'm just letting you know"
 Millicent gripped the telephon receiver, wondering what to do As she wondered, imperativ' knuckles pounded against thu door.
 Millicent turned away from tn, telephone and faced the door. feel ing sick with dread. No one cou!t possibly know of that room in tn, hotel unless 1t was someone wht had followed her, had been playing with her as a cat plays with { mouse.
 The pounding on the door wa repeated, this time more insist entity.
 Millicent made up her mint that come what might, she wa not going to open that door. Tn, door was locked, and whoeve wanted to get in would have t, break 1t down.
 She stood perfectly still, listen ing, waiting.
 Once more the knuckle pounded on the door, and a man voice said, please let me in"
 Milliccnt's heart gave a will Surge. She thought she recognize,

the mans voice. She literally ran across the room to the door and said, "Who Is 1t, please7"
 Norman Happ's voice said. Thank God you're safe"
 Her quivering fingers twisted the key In the lock.
 Norman Happ pushed the door back, entered and clasped her In his arms-all as 1t seemed to Mil- licent in onle swift motion.
 My precious" he said, "oh. my dear one!"
 Without violition on her part her face tilted back. Miilicent knew that her soul was in her eyes. Her lips were half-parted as she gasped. Norman, I'm so glad.
 His lips pressed close to hers. | stopped her words. For a long blissful moment she clung to him her heart seeming to throb in uni- son with his heart. Then she pushed him away, half-laughing, half-sobbing.
 Norman looked impatlently over his shoulder, kicked the door shut with a bang of his heel, and once more his hungry lips sought hers.
 This time, however Millicent had herself under control. Nor mans arrival when she had be- lieved all was lost had been such relief that she had surrendered k4 hA tv,,x k ak had welled up within her breast. My" she said. but you're talk ing lot for granted, aren't you MT Norman c. Happ?"

 "But good heavens!" she ex- claimed. "Mr Gentry came back and went in that room. He had Q key to it."
 Norman drowned thoughtfully. I'm wondering" he said. If Bob Caise hadn't given Dick Gentry the key to the apartment and I'm wondering if perhaps he hadn't made a mistake and given Gentry the wrong key. so Gentry had to go back to get the right key"
 "Perhaps-but why didn't you come back to the apartment?"

 The first week of May has been known briefly as "Child Health Week" since 1890 when ex-Pres- ident Hoover called the roll for the White House Conference on Child Health and Protection. At that time the Children's ItCharter was drawn up with nine" Fteen articles, pledged toward the furtherance of the child's spirit. ual and moral training" rights or citizenship and the general better- ance of his condition to help him "stand firm under the pressure or life."
 Let me quote Article Number Seven of the Charter: ''For every child a dwelling-place, safe, sant. tnry, and wholesome, with reason. able provisions for privacy; free from conditions which tend 70 l thwart his development; and Q home environment harmonious ana enriching."
 Conditions Are Worse Now. At this time, then, when after i've years of depression, housing conditions have grown rapidly worse instead of better, 1t seems necessary to accent every word of that paragraph.
 With families crowded into close | quarters, children have little or no opportunity for decent privacy. Babies and children living in tur- moil and dirt have little experience | of Harmonious environment" The social or rather anti-social effects of this are 50 grave that econom- ists and sociologists are already writing their warnings large in their reports.
 Any blind man can see that un. less such handicaps are quickly erased the future looks forbidding. What is sown today will be reaped tomorrow. Of what good Is a de- partment of justice and a million penal institutions as long as we nurse the seeds of crime and de- l Iinquency in rat-holes?
 The lettered agencies of better housing are doing what they can. U. s. Seeks to Improve Homes. One would have to be clair- voyant to understand their precise functioning, but this much Is cer- tain: that the government IS en" deavoring to correct the situation by providing means and methods by which homes may be improved.
 Children need air, light and sun. decent places to play, and enough room to be themselves. Character depends on self-respect, and on home respect.
 l Parents have a responsibility iM this too, most decidedly. One Is to keep home, however smalL as orderly as possible. A place for everything and everything clean and in its place Gas far as is humanly, possible) should be part of the Parents charter.
 There should be concerted effort of individuals, communities. states and the Federal government to improve the lot of the child, who from the standpoint of environ ment has never had a. chance.

CALLS SUIT BEST '35 MODE
By JEAN PATOU
Written for NEA Service


 DARIS - The well-dressed \ woman will wear suits this spring from the time she gets up in the morning until she changes into the fluffiest din- ner clothes we have had for a while. Suits are nothing new to me. I have always con sidered the tailleur the top note in any chic woman's wardrobe. However, this sea- son, I have starred it in my new collection.
 Every kind and weight of material is used in the new models. Woolens are sheer or heavy, silks stiff or clinging, Every kind of style, too, is found = tailored, definitely feminine, much trimmed, lit tie trimmed.
 Jacket May Contrast
 The sober, classically-cut suit serves for active or spec tator sports wear, shopping, informal lunches and travel ing. The latest idea is to com bine a jacket, or newer still, a jacket-cape of rough pat termed tweed with a plain skirt. A white or light blouse, also cut on tailored lines, com pletes the ensemble, with &C., cessories of. hand : stitched boxcalf belt, bag and gloves and simple felt or straw hat.
 I have stressed the ultra feminine silk suit for after. noon because it is becoming
 to all types, especially when it includes a soft, sheer blouse in harmonizing or sharply contrasting color. Here the note of elegance is struck in delicate handwork and detail Full Blouse Sleeves Distinguishing features o1 the new suits are very full blouse sleeves, usually of chif. ion, extending below the jacket sleeves, and touches o1 lingerie or lace at the throat
 Hats to complete afternoon suit costumes may be o1 straw or fabric, light or dark to match suit or blouse, but must have an original trim ming. l have used ribbon flowers, fruit, and even vege- tables to modernize the 1886 touch found in many after noon suits. Glass fabric hats are new and are sufficiently ornate in themselves if they or crown.

l. Liberal use of milk, butter egs and cheese in diet. Two fresh vegetables and at least one raw green salad vege- table daily. Fruit in season raw for breakfast, haw or cooked as dinner dessert Fresh meat, fowl or fish aver age once daily. 2. Eschew condiments and use salt sparingly if at all. 8. Teetotalism. \ 4. Tobacco tcmperately if at all Never during adolescence. 5. Sufficient exercise daily to ab sorb excess energy freed by emotion. Walking is finest of all daily exercises. 6. Iodin ration.
 z. Optimal vitamin ration. 8. Keep your body weight with. in standard limits. 9. Absorb all the sunshine the season, climate, your pocke; book and the law allows. 10. Practice belly breathing, and roll. yourself plenty of somer. saults every day. Ii. If you have cultivated the physic or constipation habit break 1t.
 l2. Choose your doctor, stick tC him and have a health in. ventory each birthday ami versary, so that the doctor may compare your condition year by year with your pre- vious record.

LESSONS FROM LONG

It is to Senator Long as public man rather than
as dashing personality that the thoughts of Ame,-
leans should chiefly turn as his tragic death ex-
tingushed envy. What he did and what he PROM
sed to do are full of political instruction and also
of warning.
In his own state of Louisiana he showed how it rs
tanning it's ostensible and legal form He made him
self unquestionabie dictator, though state leg
islature still elected by nominally free peo-
pie was also governor, who was, however, MOTH
ing but dummy for Huey Long
In reality, Senator Long set up Fascist govern
ment in Louisiana. 1t was disguised but only thin
ly There was no outward appearance of a revoIu-
tion, no march of Black Shirts upon Baton Rouge,
but the eectual result was to lodge all the power
of the state in the hands Of one man.
If Fascsm ever comes in the United States it will
come in something like that way. No man will set
himself up as an avowed dictator, but if he can
succeed in debating everything, the name does not
matter. Laws and Constitutions guaranteeing lib
erty and individual rights may remain on the sta,
tute books, but the life will have gone out of them
Institutions may be designated as before, but they
will have become only empty shells.
We thus have an indication of the points at which
American vigilance must be eternal if it desires tc
withstand the subtle inroads of the Fascist spirit
There Is no need to be on the watch for revo
lutionary leader to rise up and call upon his follow
ers to march Washington. No such sinister fig
ure is likely to appear. The danger is, as Senatcl
Long demonstrated in Louisiana, that freedom may
be done away with in the narae of efficiency and
strong paternal government-New York Times
