bilities and variations of available
plots for mystery yarns, which tell
an interesting story, lead on and
on-such conclusion, at least ap-
pears to be justified after an eve
ming with Death in the Back
Seat" by Dorothy C. Disney.
The story, which ran Serially
in one Of the leading national
monthlieS, leaves the reader with
the impression that the complex
ties and complications of which
engroSSing mystery tales are
formed have here been woven into
new pattern.
The story concerns the expert
ence of Jack Storm, an artist, and
Lola. his wife, who are seeking the
peace and quiet Of the country. u
Answering an advertisement in a
local magazine, they rent a cottage
in the little town Of Crockford
Conn.
Almost Immediately, 1t seems,
they become enmeshed in a whirl
Of anything but quiet and peace
full, nerve-Soothing adventures
These involve an eccentric land

murders, a suicide, and a kid

To HelD

If you read mo More Alibis"

in a virtuous glow just because
you took off 20 pounds, Sylvia
has another shock for you.
Maybe you think you've done
enough lodging chocolate eclairs
and getting up at six to bounce
through old knee bends. But
that's not enough.
Do you put your hair up at
night? Do you spend more than
you should for clothes? Do you
know what to do when a fallen
Step-in skaters your poise?
How's your cuticle? What do
you do when you have an un'
expected date?
You don't know? Well, Sylvia
does. Her new book Pull Your.
self Together Baby" deals with
everything from Personality
diets" to "Poise under pressure. :"
Take a tip from Sylvia and make
your 10-dollar dress look like
something sent down from Lord
and Taylor's. Bring out the
lights in your hair with a vinegar
rinse. Spare the pairing knife.
Most peels won't hurt you. Ac-
cording to Sylvia they'll do you
tremendous lot of good.
She, of course, is the same
Sylvia who became famous max.
ing the movie stars more beauti-
full. What she did for Carole
Lombard and Jean Harlow and
Norma Shearer she's perfectly
willing to do for you. Look her
up. And even if you already
have mo More Alibis," this new
volume belongs right next to it
on your bedside table. It's full
of tricks and all of them are
practical.
