 Ted had on his Scout suit and an apron, helping his mother clear up the dishes. Bill walked out to the kitchen.
 "Well, if you're not a sight" he laughed. "A soldier turned bus boy" Ted grinned but shot back, s'Well, I'm no ordinary citizen, anyway. Why don't you come and join the scoutsS Do you

 Ted's mother said, "Bill, l want you to let Ted alone. There Is not bit of use in your telling him he isn't manly for being a Scout. Or a sissy for helping me with the dishes when have Q headache. You always seem to be stirring up something"
 She intercepted wink toward Ted which seemed to say "All right. I'm listening because she's your mother. But you digest what I've said about all this good boy stuff. You should be free to do as you please, as am"
 She was furious, but said noth- ing further. It wasn't only to- night that worried her. Bill with a happy go-lucky but strong per. sonaiity had always had hold over Ted.

 Answer--rI'd try the injection treatment for Q month or two. Sur. gery, at best, is not always quite satisfactory. In many instances the testes descend spontaneously about the eleventh or twelfth year.
 What With Orange Juice?

 When you have decided what type of clothes to include in your spring wardrobe, think about colors. If your complexion is pale and you never wear rouge, stay away from gray, a smart shade indeed, but in- flnitely more flattering to rosy cheeks than to white ones,
 Red is good on some blondes, but greens, blues and certain tones of lavender and orchid gener- ally are most becoming to light hair and fair skin. Black, of course, Is an excellent choice for any blonde to make.
 Lobster pink (a new color) is bound to be nice for brunettes. Dusty tones, like slate blue and mustard yellow, can be worn by nearly everyone. Don't affect Q pale, almost dead white makeup and expect black to do anything for you. You may think that you look ladylike, wan and interesting when you leave off rouge and dress in black from head to foot, but others, however, are likely to think you are just plain un- healthy.
 When 1t comes to hats, do pick types that make you look pretty and charming as well as smart. It's fine to look extremely we'll groomed and chic as anything, but why sacrafice your natural beauty for smartness? You can have both, you know.
 For instance, if your eyes are. by all means your best feature, don't completely cover one of them with a brirn that swoops down over you cheek. If your forehead is high and you have 6 nice widows peak, try an off-the- face hat insted of one which hides the peak. If your hair Is something of which to be proud, I should think Q tiny hat that covers only a small part of your head would be ideal.

But don't you think there is something wrong when a, boy ridicules everything every body else holds sacred? Haven't you noticed that he never praises anybody for anything that seem fine and right?"

&.--One SOineCllneS hears or cases in which some incident experienced by an expectant mother leave a mark on the child. For instance. there is the case Of a mother-to-be who was frightened by & mouse and, in fear, threw up her hand to her cheek, as women will. When her baby was born, he had a large mole on his cheek in the shape of a mouse. Can you explaint this?
 A.-The superstition about marking" babies is an old one and has persisted because the general public is not yet aware of the scientific Knowledge which dlsproves 1t.
 The marks which occur in the skin are congenital mal- formations, the cause of which is not understood. They usual- Ivy are formed early in preg- nancy; many cases on record prove that the mark existed be- fore occurrence of the incident to which 1t was attributed. Moreover, the marks occur where there has been no material impression"
 There Is no physical con- nection between the nervous systems of the mother and the unborn child. The occur renee of marks Is purely 6 co. incidence. Their irreglar shape leads imaginative persons to
 compare them to the shape of the animal or other objects that frighten the mother. Belief in this superstition is gradual ly being overcome.

"That's @ pretty kettle of fish," has been revised, and now goes: "That's @ pretty bowl of fish" And 1t is indeed c pretty bowl of fish when the pan holder is made Of light green material, and the fish appliqued on in gold. The fish de- sign may be buttonholed on, or ap-i pilqued in matching thread with eye of black.
 Besides the pan holder, there are seven distinctly different fish de- signs for the corners or ends of Q set of tea towels. These fish are to be transferred on bright orange or gold material and appliqued to the tea towels This idea of bringing the gold fish from the parlor to the kitchen is proving very popular, and you don't have to feed these fish or change their water. Instead, they work for you. v

houses for the starlings, to attract
them to the farms and gardens. The
starting lives mainly on bugs, larvae,
and all harmful insects, and destroys
yearly billions of these. When cattle
are stung by the gadiy, who deposit
their eggs under the hide of the cat

on the backs of the cattle, pulling out
the harmful larvae. The starting does
not eat grain or seed, as does the spar

SYNOPSIS

Jeb Braddon, young and Enthusiastically
successful broker OF Chicago. is infatu-
ated with Agnes Gleneith, beautiful
daughte- of a retired manufactures.
Rodney, a doctor, in love with Agnes,
visits his brother Jeb. Rod plans work
at Rochester. Jeb suggests that he
make a try for Agnes before leaving.
In Rod there is a deeper, obstinate
decency than in Jeb. Agnes believes
to be happy, a girl must bind herself
entirely to a man and have adorable
babies. Rod visits Agnes and tells her
of his great desire. but realizes 1t can
never be fulfilled. Agnes mother is at
tempting to regain her husbands love.
Agnes has disturbing doubts as to what
attracts her father in New York. Jeb
tells Agnes he is going to marry her,
and together they view an apartment
in Chicago. Jeb asks Agnes to set an
early date. but she tells him she can
not marry him. When the agent, Mr..
Colver, offers to show them a furnished
apartment, Jeb asks Agnes to see ii
alone, saying he must return to his
Office. Agnes consents and Jeb leaves.
A radio is blaring terriically from one
OF the apartments. Colver raps upon
the door, which is opened by a scantily
clad girl, who draws Agnes into the
room. Colver finds her husband, Charles
Lorrie fatally shot. He calls the police
Myrtle Lorrie asks Agnes to phone

once. Agnes does.

bald. He was altogether different from
the first three. He was whittier and
softer of flesh and wore the marks
of education along with his authority.

and said to her: Mr.. Nordell is an
assistant states attorney"
Miss Gleneith-this is Miss Agnes

ut is So" said Agnes; but fear for
herself had reached her at last.
Ready to look at it?" Dolega asked
the attorney.
Agnes eyes followed Dolega's gray
head and Mr.. NordelIs round, bald
spot at the crown of his head as they
went to the bedroom. 1t was at this
moment that she realized that they
were not going to that room merely
to see what was there, but that their
purpose was to collect proof that Myr-
tie Lorrie had killed her husband, so
that they could have her killed-have
her life.'in her turn. taken from her.
Her warm, soft, sensuous life that
she loved so! Agnes gazed at her,
huddled in her big chair, her sensa-
tions sweeping over her; she was
frightened as she had not been before
"When's he goin' to Gomez" she
gasped at Agnes. "Oh, God, when's
he goin' to Gomez"
"Who?" said Agnes. "Bert?" For
suddenly she remembered Myrtle's cry
into the phone: "Oh, God. Bert %
Who was Bert, and what was he to
her?
Myrtle pinked from one of the hot
flushes that swept her, and then went
pale. 'Shut up about Bert!" she
gasped, barely audibly. where's that
damn lawyer of miner
So it was not horror that swept her
horror at what she had done. That
must have been in it, but chiefly it
was fear, and her longing for life,
for her own sensations to continue in
her soft, warm body, no matter what
she had done.
There was a new knock at the door.
1t was not loud; the man was not
striking with his knuckles. He tapped
with a fnger-tip which said: Take
your choice: admit me or take the
consequences"
Ulrich opened the door.
I'm coming in, Ulrich."
Ulrich let him in; and his presence
was like an alarm, calling Nordell
and Dolega from the bedroom; and
the fourth man (some one called him
Jensen) followed them. So the three
police in plain-clothes and the assist
ant states attorney confronted the
young man who had come in.
