Or was it Hilda? Her hair had
been curled, it was piled high on
her head, mass OF ringlets.
She wore a smooth little gown
of bright blue. II had a definite
ly Partisan air. At the same time
1t was demure and youthful. And
she wore a tiny mask of the same
color.
As she walked up to the Colonel,
somehow regal with all her youth
and golden ringlets, he started
back in pretended dismay. Steve
strained forward in his chair. He
scarcely breathed. If appearances
went for anything Hilda was al
ready over.
There was a quick, appreciative
patter of applause. The Colonel
held up his hand.

AS the Colonel raised his eye-
brows & ripple of mirth swept the
audience.
But surely a gentleman of my
age and reputation"
Again the bobbing curls, a little
stamp of one high heeled sandal.
"A girl, she cannot be too careful,
no."
Steve darted a glance over his
shoulder. Hilda had them. De-
light expressed itself on every
face.
"All right the Colonel laughed.

speaking, where is Somewhere ?"

Like my own back yard

Good Taste
Today
BY EMILY POST

Dear Mrs. Post: Wouldn't II sur
prise you TO find 90 hats piled on
your bed and 20 bareheaded wom-
en- sitting around your lunch
table, In this new community
where 7 came TO live several years
ago. have found many unusual
customs-unusual at least when
compared TO my own lifelong prac-
tees. I am gradually getting TO
the point Of wondering what is
right and what wrong? In these
two years I have never been at
a big lunch party. The invitations
have always been to lunches for
four or six, and at these times
finding others without hats-I re-
moved mine too. But when ] gave
this really formal luncheon I was
surprised to have the guests take
off their hats.
Answer: have often heard of
communities where guests are ex-
pected TO take off their hats at
lunch party. and also when playing
bridge. just as they would in the
evening. This practice is not ac-
cording to formal precept but
neither is there any valid objec-
ton to Il since 1t does not involve
rudeness. In fact. It is, l should
say, a friendly custom in contrast
to a fashionable one. Those who
feel more at home without their
hats also probably feel that we in
New York are very stiff and rude
sitting in the house with our hats
on. (As you probably know in
New York 1t is very rare to see
even the hostess without her hat)
The best thing to do-in fact, the
only things to follow the Gus
tom of the community where you
are. II, of course, bar serving
yourself first. This involves not
only fashion but courtesy. I
couldn't have myself served first
in my own house no matter where
I might find myself livingD But
as I have said, it is always best
TO do as others do-short of break
ing a principle.
The Propriety Of q House Coat
Dear Mrs. Post: Ny father is
shocked because / think it would
be proper to wear my red silk
house coat when l have a few of |
my young friends in to spend the
evening. He thinks it would be
indecent in front of boys. My
house coat looks just like a long
dress that has a upper from top
TO bottom.
Answer: I can't understand why
your father feels this way because
a house coat, according to all the
pictures ] have ever seen, is exact
y like a princess dress with
sleeves and high neck.
Surely 1t is far more proper"
han an ordinary no-sleeves, no.
back, evening dress AS l have
written in this column before
he propriety of a house coat de-
bends entirely on the material of
which it is made. OF calico it is
| work dress; Of lame it might
wen be worn to ball.

Hilda moved to an apartment
across the hall from the one oc
cupied by Colonel Norman. Sh
gave her name as Helen Gregg
Steve and the Colonel worked OH
intricate plans for keeping her
identity a secret.
Her mail was to be sent I,
Steve's office. Maize Simpson, /,
dowdy, plain woman with a gifi
for making other women beauti
full, was her personal maid. Nc
prima donna was ever more the
center of attraction before her de.
but than was Hilda.
Satisfactory Best
She rehearsed before the Colonel
and Steve. They were exacting
masters. Each gesture. each
laugh, each piquant lift of the eye
brows was tried this way and that
for better effect.
Hilda did her best and ii was a
highly satisfactory best. OF her
singing there was no question.
There was something casual about
her singing. and at the same time
intimate.
Each listener received a definite
impression that she sang to him.
Steve's pulse quickened. he drank
In every word, every note.
Tuesday night came at last.
Steve took Hilda to Studio B on
the Weinberg lot where the broad
cast was to be held. She did not
appear on the stage with the other
contestants. When he had turned
her over to Maize she followed
him to the dressing room door.

huskily.

He went to the auditorium and
sat In the front row Of chairs. He
did not lean back. The curtains
drew apart. the gong doomed, deep
and mellow. and Colonel Norman's
