NEW YORK, March 26. -
L y (NEA)-If your house is dry
and hot-air heated try this
quartet on your flower stand:
Screwpine with it's cream striped
ribbon-like leaves; jade plant, so
called because of the color of it's
f1eshy leaves, which require little
moisture; aucuba which has
heart-Shaped notified leaves and
minds scarcely any adverse
growing conditions; and Aspidis-
ira.
The screwpine requires little
water but should be thoroughly
drenched when the soil becomes
dry to the touch. And finally, in
watering, be careful to turn it on
its side so that water will not set
tie in the crown and cause rot.
Doing well in shady rooms will
be the Kentia palm, the Boston
fern, snake plants, rubber plants
and Dracaena terminals, dra-
caena with broad leaves striped in
jade and kelly green. One of the
most decorative of the rubber
plants, by the way, is the Ficus
pandurata, with glossy, fiddle
shaped leaves.
Some general rules should be
kept in mind in caring for house
plants. Such, for example, as that
an even daytime temperature of
from SO to 10 degrees in the
room where they are kept and
from 81 to So degrees at night
will produce the best results.
Also, do not make the mistake of
watering the plants every day, but
prod the earth daily and when it

to ask whether you think I should
keep on trying. BOB.
Answer-I am afraid you have
asked me something which 1 can
not answer. How can I tell what is
in the girls heart? The chances are
she hardly knows herself. If Bill
marries the other girl she may take
you on the rebound. Sometimes a
woman's second choice proves to be
more satisfactory than the first, and
sometimes the face of the first love
constantly intervenes between the
woman and her second choice. Are
you willing to gamble with success?
About all you can do is mark
time until you see what happens.
Please take note of the fact that
what caused a revival of her interest
in Bill was the fact that he found
another girl. If he had remained
broken-hearted she might not have
been so keen about him.
Take your own case, for exam
pie. Your uncertainty about the
state of her affections constitutes
challenge which puts an edge
on desire. 1t is human nature to
want the unobtainable and feel
Indifferent toward that which is
easy to get.
If you weren't such devoted
sutton. you might be more interest
ing to the girl. 1t is fine thing for
you to be sympathetic friend to
her but don't let her occupy your
whole time. After all, there are other
girls just as sweet, charming and
desirable who are not obsessed with
the thoughts of a lost love. A good
business man avoids putting all his
eggs in one basket but diversifies
his investments. Take a leaf from
his book and protect yourself with
a variety of interests. Competition
is what this young lady needs.
When the showdown comes, as
it will. respect the young woman's
decision. If she says mo" don't
try to change her mind. Some men
pursue the woman who has re-
fused them until they wear down
her objections. These half hearted
marriages seldom are successful. In
my opinion the sutton should be
willing to take a woman's in
stinctive mo- for an answer and
not urge her to accept him
against her best emotional judg-
ment.

N glect Is
Cause for
Red Hands
Proper Care Will Keep
Them Smooth, Lovely
and White.
BY ALICIA HART

Hands that are cared for properly
will remain just as smooth anG
white during the spring months as
they are in summer. It is neg
lect alone which causes them to be-
come red and rough.
Remember that hand lotion or
cream should be applied after each
washing-not merely once or twice
a day. Pick a greaSeleSs variety
which leaves no oily residue on the
inside of your glove,L
When you have scrubbeS hands
and nails with lukewarm mot hot)
water and bland soap rinse. then
dry carefully, pushing cuticle back
with the towel. Smooth on hand
lotion or cream and massage it in,
using upward strokes from finger
tips to wrists. Be sure to put plenty
on wrists.
If, in spite of meticulous wash
ing and diligent use of lotion, your
hands seem to chap, use plain
warm olive oil or a rich tissue
cream on them one night a week.
Lavishly coat them with one or the
other, then wear clean cotton
gloves while you sleep.
Be sure your evening as well as
daytime gloves aren't too tight.
After all, while half size smaller
actually can make no difference in
the appearance of the size of your
hands, it can mean the difference
between ugliness and beauty. Tight
ones often cause redness for some
time after they are taken off.

1t was the wrong thing to say
and he recognized this almost in

be offended. I only said that be-
cause it's true. You're prettier
than any other girl I've ever seen.
Why shouldn't I say it when it's
true-?"
Toby had risen. Murmuring
something he did not hear clearly,
she pushed her way toward the
door. A moment later the bus
halted and she stepped down to the
street.

Il March days when brilliant sun

unsuspecting out-of- doors-to face
not balmy breezes but swapping
wintry wind.
Toby Ryan walked briskly, cling
ing to the narrow brim of her hat
which looked as though, at any mo-
ment, it might dance away. Toby
had been calling at studios, making
the rounds as new models are adj
vised to do in the hope of future
calls for work. The last call had
taken longer than she had expected
and now Toby was in a hurry. In
20 minutes she was due at a studio
on lower Madison.
She reached the intersection, saw
a bus on the opposite side of the
street, headed down town. Toby ran
for it, climbed on board just as the
doors were about to bang shut.
She dropped her fare into the coin
box and slipped into the nearest
seat with sigh of relief.
The pictures Toby was to pose for
were for company that made hats
not expensive, one-of -a-kind hats

CHAPTER TX

Before she sat down in the witness
chair, Agnes stood for a moment, fac
ing the courtroom. She had been sworn,
facing the judge, who was beside her
now, at her right and little behind
her.
The jury, twelve men in two rows,
were at her left. A court reporter,
with pencil and his book open, was
almost at her feet to her right.
Directly in front Of her stood Martin
O'Mara; and over his left shoulder she
saw Myrtle Lorrie seated at a table.
Agnes would hardly have known
Myrtle, had not the newspaper pic
lures Of recent days prepared her for
her present appearance. Myrtle was
in black, with not even a touch of
color. except a piping of white in the
neck of her dress and on the sleeves.
Black became her and made her look
even younger and slighter than she
was; and it made her skin whittier. She
had on no rouge at all, and little or no
lipstick. She looked not in the least
like a killer.
Mr. Nordel was few feet from her,
seated at another table with two
younger men with books and papers.
That was the table of "the State" Be
yond were benches row after row,
where people sat and leaned forward.
You could feel-Agnes felt-the clash
of the conflict which swayed them

81 David of Wales

ST. David, Patron saint OF Wales,
who lived between 446 and $40. was an
uncle of King Arthur Of the Round
Table. He was baptized ar Forth
claes, where a spring was said to have
dubbed expressly for that purpose;

II was st. David who stamped out
heresy in Wales, and when he died his
body was buried in Glastonbury; but
his tomb was destroyed later by Crom-
wells men. 1t was he who persuaded
Welshmen to wear leeks in their caps
during a great battle under the leader
ship Of King Cadwallader in ga. so
they might distinguish their own men
from their Saxon foes. The victory
was theirs, and since then the leek

nesses at once; 1 figure I'll ask you to
go on in the afternoon. Say, two
o'clock"
Yes" said Agnes. "Pll be there"
xviii your"
"Of course I will"
What had happened to her distress
and disturbance? He was fighting; he
had been fighting all day, and was
spent, but with the fight still in him.
She could feel it in his voice; and she
aligned herself again with him.
"How's the trial going-really"
"Really?" repeated CathaL
Il mean with you. You know how
many of those things are true; the pa
pers don't-do they?"
NO." said Cathal; but some of the
things are true enough. But they've
got nothing to do with whether she did
murder. That's all"
Agnes hung up, but sat by the tele-
phone without stirring. She was warm
and excited and satisfied, as she had
not been all day.
1t was eleven, next morning, when
she left the house with her mother and
Bee. They avoided the train. Simmons
drove them, in the big car, to the city,
where they picked up Jeb. Then they
stopped at a quiet little restaurant
where they could be alone. and where
Jeb had had luncheon ordered in adj
vance.
The monday was very hot. The heat,
indeed, supplied the third topic to the
people of the city; the others were the
further advance in stocks, and the trial.
Today it seemed almost more the
trial of Agnes Gleneith than of Myrtle
Lorrie. Today Agnes's pictures and
her name exceeded Myrtle's in size and
display. Agnes had ceased TO care
what they said even about herself.
She sat ar the restaurant table be-
side Jeb, and with her mother opposite
and Bee beside her, and looked down
at jellied consomme in the cup before
her. She lifted her spoon into the cup,
but not to her lips.
Jeb could eat; Bee could eat: her
mother could. a little. Agnes slipped
iced-tea.
What Myrtle Lorrie had done-and
what Agnes Gleneith was to support
her in having done-divided any group
OF people. They did not debate whether
she had shot her husband; that was
undisputed. 1t was whether she
should" have shot him or not; or at
least whether. having done so, she
! should now be punished further.
Jeb was against her-Jeb. who. II

Agnes read it at home. For the
state had decided not to call her; and
Martin O'Mara told her that he could
give her at least two hours warning
before he would put her on the witness
stand.
She felt shaky and half sick again.
These were matters about Myrtle Lor-
RE which Martin O'Mara might not
have known about his client. Yet now
he had heard them; and he continued
to defend her. Indeed, it was plain
he was fighting for her only more
hOtly.
The newspaper writer's spoke espe-
cially of how he fought. When Mr..
NOrdell put a question that might have
a damaging answer, the defense attor-
ney leaped TO his feet
81 object, Your Honor! l object!"
"Overruled," said the judge, and told
Mr.. Norden to proceed with the wit
ness.
Exception! -. take an exception!
-. Exception" O'Mara struck back
at the judge again and again.
Agnes could not completely under
stand it; but she could feel the fight
in it.
Jeb brought with him, that night, the
late editions which carried the report
of the afternoon session of the trial.
1t was worse for Myrtle-and for Ag-
nes-than the mornings disclosures.
Some of it, Jeb read to her; some he
left to her TO read to herself.
Now, Glen, what are you going to
do?'

were. She was embarrassing her hus-
band for her Bert. Wasn't she"

that night.
