Lotus, a Broadway saxophone
player who has a wife and child
in Asbury Park, N. j., was in the
bottle-strewn midtown apartment
where the nude and badly bruised
body of Mrs. Nielsen, former Cal
ifornia high-diving champion, was
found yesterday.
HEARS CHARGES STOLIDLY
Stolidly he faced Inspector Don
ovan as the homicide charge was
read to him. With scant cere-
mony, he was hustled to homicide
court. For the police records,
LOTUS gave his age as As.
According to the police version
of his story, he had known Mrs.
Nielsen, member of a prominent
California family, for some time
and had spent Monday night at
her apartment, drinking about
two quarts of liquor with her.
CATS CAUSE QUARREL
During the night, police said he
told them, Mrs. Nielsen began
quarrelling with him because he
wanted to put her two cats out of
her apartment and hit him with
an empty gin bottle. The police
asserted he admitted striking her
in retaliation.
When he came to yesterday
noon, he saw her unclad body
sprawled on the floor amid the
debris of broken furniture and
liquor bottles, and so he gave the
alarm.
Mrs. Nielsen's divorced husband,
Robert Gray, an assistant film di-
rector in Hollywood, was so
shocked with the news that he in
formed friends he would leave for
New York tonight. He hadn't
seen his former wife for some
time.
Mrs. Nielsen, who was 81, also
is survived by a daughter, Har.
riet, 18, of San Francisco. The
victims parents were the late
Frank Lamson Brown, prominent
resident of Oakland, Cal, and
Mrs. James Brown Davis, who
died in 1884.

4 "A 1SASAA
With disarming candidness, Ger
aldine Farrar begins her autobiog-
raphy, Such Sweet Compulsion, ("
with this admission: It am over
half century young as I write these
lines" a..
Her beauty refutes her written
statement, for today this beloved
songbird of operas golden age radi-
ates the same personal loneliness
which endeared her to audiences of
two continents. The incompatible
Gerry" is a perennial charmer!
From her earliest years Miss Far
rar considered physical beauty of
primary importance-second only to
the training Of her rich, lovely voice!
When she made her American debut
in 1906 a leading music critic COM
mented: What may this girl not do?
When Farrar twisted her little form
into its turquoise wrapping, as she
spun out the waltz's final trill, she
could have wound that audience
around her little finger. Such SER
pentine grace has not been observed
since the Carriers and the Bern
hardts!"
And from her own penned words
we CLEAN a devotion to her FEM
ininity to this very year-and per-
haps her secret of being a leading
beauty at half q century young!"
She writes:
Il never begrudged q penny for a
handsome wardrobe, ON or of stage.
1t has often been said-and men
have liked to believe-that women
dressed for their appreciation. But
do not agree to this; dressed, for
my part, primarily for my public
and always because I personally love
pretty things; to this day nv ex-
travagances are in the sartorial line,
and certainly would not be con-
doned by male member of my
family did now have one. I
conclude my own taste in feminine
1rippery gives me my modicum OF
pleasure IN return, and after all, It
Is one little privilege of self-expres4
sion, and so harmless a one to
general society in It's serving OF
| pleasant adornment.
Nowadays there Is no excuse for
any woman to deny herself the
charming and inexpensive wardrobe
combinations that can be found for
the most modest purse in all stores,
A little discretion and taste Is all
that Is needed. With thought and
planning, we can all be nearer the
dream-woman outline every femi-
nine heart yearns to incorporated! p
So IN her 18th year of voluntary
retirement from the thrilling world
OF music, Miss Farrar continues to
hold her public's interest through
the charm, and grace and beauty
which she so cherishes!
Il am not one to count nv silver
hairs and years in such close prox-
unity to an imperishable counterpart
OF exuberant youth and beauty" she
says, and perhaps 1t is that philos-
ophy which makes her so outstand-
ing IN her age group-allowing her
to meet the years gracefully, but
still retaining an individuality which,
so many women drop indifferently
when they reach SO!

reminds the crowd that even tho
most perfect dance must come to an
end. When the last jitterbug has
departed for home, via Ptomains
Pete's hamburger stand, you can
relax, count the profits and enjoy
that happy sensation which invari-
ably comes when you've done an ex-
acting Job well.
Tip for Maids Who Get Around.
There's one thing like dressing
trinity and well-all the time-to
make you feel as though you're on
top Of the world. Smooth grooming
provides an exhilaration impossible
to describe and grand to experience.
But you don't Just happen that
way. 1t takes care. Stocking seams
must be straight. Shoes must be
brushed or shined, with nary a run
over heel. Gloves must be spic and
span, hats brushed free OF lint, hem
lines straight mo coyly peepins
slips) and dresses fitted and worn
for figure f1attery. Remember that
bumped shoulders will make even q
Paris model look like something that
was marked down to $1l3. Nails and
hair must be clean and well cared
for. Above all, clothes must DO
fresh.
These are all assets which you can
easily give yourself. They're bought
with care and effort. Dollars can't
buy them!
Tip for Young Men About To,pn.
Whether you own suit or 10,
you can dress well. The care YOU
give your colthes means the differ.
ence between good grooming and
sloppiness. Clothes should be fresh
and pressed. Ties shouldn't be
stringy, and garters should hold up
sox. Gravy goes into your mouth
not onto your vest.
Clothes seldom make the man.
More often, it's the man who makes
the clothes.

with green, makes our IS chair
perfectly satisfactory. Aunt Clara
offers us from her attic an old
ladder-back chair with the frame
in perfect condition but the rush
seat needing to be replaced. This is
sent out to the School for the
Blind" where new seat is woven
in for a nominal sum and after a
rundown with wax is chalked up as
another asset.
A trip into the country brings to
light an old drop-leaf table covered
with brick-red paint that has spent
the last five years on the side porch
of a farmhouse as a catch-all for
anything that came its way. This
we bring home for the fabulous sum
Of $3.50 and spend the next two
weeks taking the red paint off with
varnish remover and refinishing to
satin gloss the fine old cherry
top we found underneath.
The old coffee table was inexpen-
sive to start with and though it is
good in line and perfectly solid
looks battered and uninteresting,
and hardly worth refinishing. AS
the sofa side of the room needs
some color we decide to paint the
table and its tray top with lacquer
in our shade of red. 1t is i'm
proved beyond our widest hopes
with the addition of two beautiful
old brass handles we have been
holding on to for years.
X X
Draperies, pictures, lamps and
small accessories seem to be all that
is needed to complete it. We decide
to Use only sheer curtains with no
draperies. We make these at home
out of oyster white, very sheer
celanese material. They are very
full and generous, hanging to the
floor on both sides of the radiator
with no trimming other than the
deep five-inch hens which give
them weight. This takes IL yards
in all at IS cents a yard. Just
under the window frame and about
eight inches above the radiator We
place wooden shelf about the
width of the radiator. This has q
curved apron which extends down
the front and distracts ones eye
from the necessary heating element.
On the shelf is a collection Of old
glass.
The battered composition bases Of
several lamps which still work are
given three coats of pale gold radia-
tor paint, and We recover our own
lamp shades in the sheer white cur
tain material with a neat little
binding Of red and pale gold. Por-
traits Of grandfather and grand
mother at 16, framed in old gold
oval frames, have the place of honor
on either side of the window.
Best of all a friend who once spent
a week with us sends "bread-and-
butter" gift of three lovely old hunt
ing prints with pink-coated riders
dashing over green fields, which are
placed above the sofa, and we sud-
denly feel that life is complete, that
this is home and we are settled.
