''Tell us what's on your mind, Mr..
galloway" Vance spoke softly.
''I'll tell you, all right" the youth
said in quick, tremulous accents.
t'That-that beautiful alexandria
stone is gone from the collection.
I'm sure it's been stolen"
Even I remember the stone-an
unusually large and beautifully cut
octaganal stone of perhaps forty
carats, which was in place of hon
or, in the most conspicuous case,
surrounded by other specimens OF
chrysoberyl.

loway went on excitedly, "but 1 do

drite. It always fascinated met

time it was the most marvellous
green, like dark jade, with only
touches of red in it; but at night, in
the artificial light, it changed its
color completely and became a
thrilling red, like wine.
"This morning-a little while ago

I needed something something
But it wasn't green at all. 1t was
still red, almost purple. And after
I had looked at it a while in amaze

Oh, I know every fact of that a

stone. It had been taken away and
another stone left in its place! ;"
He fumbled nervously in his out
side pocket and finally drew out a
large deep-colored gem.
That's what was left in the place
of my beloved ,alexandrite!"
Vance took the stone and looked
at it a moment.

QUITE he said. Gas good substi-
sutton as possible. This is merely
amethyst. Of comparatively little
value. Similar to alexandria, how
ever, and often mistaken for it by
amateurs. Can you say with any
accuracy when the exchange was

galloway shook his head vaguely
and sat down heavily.
"No," he said phlegmatically. GAS
1 told you, haven't seen it in day

I looked at it for just second and
didn't realize that it wasn't the alex

morning"
Vance again looked at the stone
and handed it back to galloway.
Return it to the case as soon as
you reach home. And say nothing
about it to any one till I speak to
you again"
galloway rose heavily.
s'I'll put the stone back in place
right away"
"Oh, by the by, Mr.. galloway"

Come and enjoy a good Home Cooked Dinner at East End Grill.

Be sure and save Thursday night for the Drama Club Jubi- lee. An evening of pleasant en- tertainment is planned to wind up the clubs activities for the season. Mrs. Inga Rynning and Miss Lennie Mae Nelson will put on a diologue, ''The Acid Test" which is guaranteed to be con- tinuously side-splitting laugh.
 A second play, Suppressed Desires is being prepared by a capable cast-Mrs. Esther Thune, Mary Hood Chapman, and Will bur Arnold. The play is a highly amusing parody on the psychol- ogy fad, and the situations aris- ing from Henrietta's search for suppressed desires will leave you weak from laughter. Several mu- sical numbers are included in the program and light refreshments will be served. What more could one ask for the money?
 The program is a benefit for the Foundation Fund. Tickets may be secured from the child ren of the Sunday School, and admission charges are soc for adults and 25t for children.

From Anita Louise we hear she has been read
ing lot of books on the etiquette and beauty
practices Of the "ruStling lady" Of 1904. This
oldfashioned girl used to massage her face to
bring out the color and actually pated the cheeks
with glycerine to give them flushed look. So
Anita says, and she thinks if girls practice before
the mirror they will find just the right place for
rouge and will be sure to place it there every
time
The "up" hair styles may be the vogue for some
girls, but there are number of the Hollywood
stars who are not going to wear anything that
is not flattering to them.
Joan Blondell likes the style for evening" but
not for day. She was seen wearing the upSwept
style while out dancing, and the hair was held in
place with amethystStudded combs. The narrow
shoulder straps of her fullSkirted black taffeta
gown were also held in place with amethystS.
There are some lovely combs for the hair, and
since they are so fashionable just now every girl
should have few sets Of them The metal and
bone ones are worn for day and street attire, but
the variety Of colored stones and floral designs
is unlimited College girls and those in high
school find them useful to keep the hair in place
in decorative way while they ponder over the
tomorrow'S lesson.

ana property

There are three in charge the
year round, with extra men dur
ing the summer tourist season.
Their reports cover work to be
done on the property and the
buildings, the attendance figures
and details that arise in the
administration of the acreage.
Policing Regulated
With Precision
The police, who are respon-
sible to the head nurse, are in
charge Of all labor done and
keep the time Of all extra men
employed. They are on duty in
their various shifts for the full
"a hours of each day, the man
on duty at night making the
rounds regularly with his
time clock, which he turns in
to the head nurse for a chOck-up
at 8 o'clock each morning. Thus
danger of fire is kept to a min
imum and the safety Of the
property assured.
In the nursery proper the
head nurse gives me the daily
charts kept on the children's
health and behavior, telling me
how the babies have been the
past "a hours, Then follow ad-
ministratvie matters, what is
needed in the way Of supplies
and so on. In my absence, the
head nurse is in charge, the
police and other members Of the
staff, including the housekeeper
and maids, report to her.

Thus the permanent staff has
a personnel of nine; two nurses
and 4 teacher; housekeeper

men, augmented in the summr
by traffic officers, janitor and
others.
In order that members Of the
staff may be in close proximity
to the children at all times, a
staff house is provided on the
grounds. It is a double house,
furnished as living quarters in
one half for the teacher and
nurses; the other half provid-
ing living quarters for the guards.

Yet, she will wear them and

She pays for style and color

rather than working her fingers

EUening
OF ReUeIry

Today Halloween eve. cele-
brated the night before the
31st of October, is one of revelry
and fun. No party is complete
without food of some sort, so
let us plan something that will
drive the bad spirits away and
insure good luck for the coming
year.
During the evening it would
be a good idea to have a punch
bowl filled with hot fruit punch,
either plain or mulled, that is,
seasoned with spices. There are
many juices on the market from
which to choose, but if you care
to keep to the gold color, then
you might use pineapple and
grapefruit juice with apricot
nectar. The warm drink dispels
the shivers and goosepimples
that may have come as a result
Of some of the games or stories.
The Washington times., 1938-10-19
Pumpkin
Always Included

No matter what else the eve
ming has for food. it must not
overlook pumpkin. After the
hot punch has been served all
evening the final service of food
might be pumpkin ice cream,
pumpkin custard, or the ever
favorite pumpkin pie. Make
any of the pumpkin dishes with
canned pumpkin. It is cooked
and sieved ready for use, so all
the cook has to do is decide
upon her recipe and how much
she will need.
If you serve pumpkin custard
you might like with it prunes
stuffed with cheese, as the
prunes add a dark color to con.
trast with the orange of the
pumpkin; likewise a fine flavor.

Day was a spring festival, when
thanks were given in the spring
