MURDER MASQUERADE

room. Reflected back of us was
my tall tester bed with it's beauti-
full chintzes in Pompadour blues
and pinks; the light here and there
in the room, spreading into golden
pools on the polished tables or the
polished floor; Sarah's warm, dark
face above the shining gray poplin
of her uniform; Sylvia's tiny fragile
silvery figure and my tall, filmy
dark one, both of us Alright with
sparkles, from our wells. 1 hated to
put Sylvia's mask on.
AS I did not want to keep Sylvia
up too late, I started early for the
party so that she might see the
whole show. And to make it the
more thrilling to her, I improvised
great mystery in our approach to
the Stow house. A little before
nine, we emerged, hand in hand,
from my back door. I took Sylvia
down the driveway to the road in
front of the house, walked toward
the ocean and then up over the
Head, passing the Fairweather
house, the Eames house, the Mar
den house, the Geary and the Bray
houses to the Stow house. We en-
tered there by the back door.
1t was a beautiful night. Many
regretted that the moon was to be
late. But I did not regret it, for I
love the stars. The air was soft and
warm. AS we walked, Sylvia's
trusting little hand in my hand and
her chattery little voice in my ear,
I could hear the long, slow boom
ing sweep of the incoming waves
and the long rafting pull-back of
the outgoing ones. I explained to
Sylvia that I had started early on
her account, so that she could
watch everybody appear and that we
might be the very first to arrive. ]

told her that-in order that no
body could guess who they were
the Slows always left their home
before their first guest appeared
and returned after the party had
started.
Three or four times in this brief
walk, we met policemen, the first
just beyond the park. We greeted
them all and they responded with
smiling, mystifed appreciation.
When we came into the big Stow
kitchen, the usual crowd of colored
girls filled it; the Slows Jessie
and Caddie, the Eames' Lulu and
Lily, sisters by the name of Lamb;
the Gearys' Jennie Snow and Win
ME Tompkins; Big Hattie Doane
and slim little Alice Robinson who
were always available for extra
work; Bessie and Sarah.
The house looked lovely. Matte
has an exquisite taste in decora-
ton and she is an accomplished
gardener.
Several had arrived before us.
There was that air of tingling con-
straint excited half-suppressed
mirth-which always hangs over
the beginning of a masked party.
Three men, an Indian, a pirate,
an Uncle Sam, Immediately sur
rounded us, walking slowly about
and surveying us gravely from ev-
cry point of view. In one corner
pair of pierrots, a pierrette, a
columbine, all in black and white,
were fussing with the radio. In
the opposite corner, behind a
screen of frs, the orchestra sat
with it's instruments ready. Sud-
denly bedlam seemed to break
loose outside as group of arriv-
ing automobiles, honking horns,
crunched the gravel. Presently a
motley-a big group of French
peasants-poured into the room.
The orchestra started. People be-
gan to dance. l found couch in
corner which commanded the
whole scene and retired to it with
Sylvia. We sat there watching.
Sylvia did all the talking. 1 did
all the listening. I was willing
enough to listen. I was conscious
that I was going through one of the
most curious experiences Of life
time. 1t was almost eerie.
I have never had the slightest
skill in identifying my friends at the
Stow masquerade; for they can al
ways make me believe they are
what they are pretending to be. We
do not unmask until about eleven;
and up to that time, our main en-
deavor is to make as many cor
rect guesses as possible. Of course,
occasionally I do penetrate a dis
guise, but not often.
Imagine then, my surprise when,

SYNOPSIS

Mary Avery, widow who lives in the har-
Dor town of Satuit, Mass, with two negro
maids, Sarah Darbe and Bessie Williams
writes a manuscript describing the famous
Second Head murder, which occurred on her
estate. Next to Mary live Mr. and Mrs. Peter
Stow who every year give summer masquer-
ade party. One of the guests of this function
is murdered. Nearby live DR.. and Mrs. Geary
and their married daughter Edith and her hus-
band Alfred Bray; Doctor Myron Marden and
his step granddaughter, Caro- Prentiss, beau
tiful young girl who was born in France. Next
live Paul and Lora Eames and their daughter
Molly. Molly was engaged to the murdered
man, Ace Blaikie. She had been engaged to
Walter Treadway, who had been the murdered
mans secretary, but the engagement was sud-
denly broken and he had left town. Other
neighbors are the Fairweather sisters, Flora,
hopeless invalid and Margaret. All but the lat
ter two attended the masquerade. Mary's eight
year-old niece Sylvia Sard is visiting her for
the summer. The wooded part of Mary's estate
is called the Spinney. In it is tiny log cabin.
Near stone wall is tiny circular pond called
the Merry Mere. This is the day of the mas
querade and excitement is high Mary decides
TO take Sylvia, who is an unusually observant
child. Caro- Prentiss and Molly Eames drop in
during the afternoon. Molly seems pre-occu-
pied. Soon Blaikie. Doctor Marden and Bruce
Hexson, friend OF Aces, arrive.

discord anywhere and at any time,
if not, indeed, at all times.
Loneliness.
When harmony is desired, and
clashes of temperaments of those
caused by such things as are under
discussion today, exist, it is well
to bring oneself up with a round
turn by thinking of the loneliness
that would be felt if we did not
have our family about us. During
absences from home, or when one
is left there when others are away,
the realization of what it means
to be alone and also together,
creeps into, the mind and it is
warmed by the very thought of
companionship of dear ones.

IN EVERY family, whether little
L or large, and however small or
spacious the dwelling may be,
there are times when conflicts
arise because of unwanted con-
facts. Some special place may
be desired above all others by one,
or possibly two, in conference and
a second or third person coming
in and wanting that particular
room also is cause of dissension.
There may be no lack of affection
between the people, but term
porary ruffling of personalities
which is disturbing. When living
quarters are congested, thes e
occasions arise frequently, but
they are not limited to such con-
ditions. There are these con-
vergencies, with their annoying
discords, regardless of space, or
the lack of it, and numbers of
persons, or the fewness of them.
1t would appear to be partly a
similarity of tastes as well as
the popularity of the spot, what
ever it is, that was an element
of the magnetic force drawing the
people together.
Transient DissensiOn.
It is true that instances are rare
in which such trouble is more
than a passing dissension. But
this is enough to set the persons
in bad humors for a few moments
anyway, unless one or more of
them has enough understanding
of the situation to smooth others,
or has a keen sense of humor,
which sense is like oil to ma
chinery in keeping things running
without friction.
Congeniality.
1t should be remembered that
congeniality is one cause for this
conveyance of persons. The same
things are liked, the same i'm
pulses are present, and enjoyment
and discord are both caused by
much the same things. Each of
these persons is drawn to the
same things and to the same
places, and so naturally meet in
the same room in the home, or
the identical spot. If there is the
desire to be alone, resentment is
stirred by the presence of an
other. 1t is at such times that
tact and kindness are needed. I
am assuming that love is not lack
ing. Without this essential ele-
ment in home life, there will be

tratiOn days are August I and 1S
September 10. and October II.
Meanwhile, recognizing the i'm
portance of the first voters at the
coming election, both major parties
in the State, the Republicans and
the Democrats, are busy organizing
the young people.
The Republicans have their organ
izatiOn well under way under the
banner of the Young Peoples Re-
publican Organization, headed by
John G. Leach, State Chairman.
Democrats Also Organize
Likewise the Democrats are or
gGnizing throughout the State, with
Martin G. Hannigan in charge.
The importance of the young vot-
ers to both parties nationally is
pointed out in an article by Theo-
dOre G. JOslin, president of the
News-JOurnal Company and White
House secretary under President
Hoover, published recently in The
American Magazine.
Mr.. Joslin points out that the
next Presidential election will be
decided by the 100000 young men
and women who have come OF age
since 1882.
Mr.. Joslin points out that in 1882.
President Roosevelt received 22,821,-
S75 popular votes against HOover's
or a majority of approx
imately 100000. Even if this whole
100000 swung back to the Repub-
Iican nominee this year, he says, /
'the horde of youth would not be
for the 10000, 900 new I
voters. at least 5000, 600 will register
and vote"
In the past, Mr.. Joslin says, the
.wO major parties have experienced
little difficulty in absorbing new
7Oters. Now, however, he says, 'the
New Deal has split old party lines;
here are progressive Republicans
md reactionary Democrats, and
Touth has the whip hand with a few
million votes to spare"

ming is under supervision but none
OF its enjoyment is lost.
