that Hercule Poirot found himself
sitting opposite Nurse Harrington.
She was still handsome woman near

of madonna, with sympathetic dark

But there must have been some
thing to give rise to these rumors?"
Poirot noted that her expression of
distress deepened. But she merely
shook her head perplexedly.

did not get on we'll together and that
started the rumor?"
Nurse Harrison shook her head.
"Oh no, DR.. Oldfield was always
kind and patient with his wife"
''He was really fond of her?"
NO would not quite say that.
Mrs. Oldheld was very difficult, hard
to please and made constant demands
for sympathy and attention which
were not always justified"
''She exaggerated her condition.?
The nurse nodded. Eyes - her bad

APARTMENT OWNERS
WARNED OF SWINDLE

Apartment house owners We're
warned by police Saturday to be-
ware of a "eheck-artist" who VIC
timized three Tacomans Friday
night by presenting worthless
checks for advance room rentals
and accepting about SIS each in
change. The reports We're given
by operators of apartment houses
on Faweett ave, G ST. and Yakima

march as smartly and stand as
erect as any West Point cadet.
In chiffons, Miss Williams
became quite different per-
son. She seemed to float
rather than walk, her arms
found softer, more picturesque
poses.
Here the Hollywood walk is
proper in contrast to the trim
steps suited to tailleur or the
loose, swinging gait that goes
with swagger tweeds and walking
shoes.
The Hollywood walk is a slow.
measured tread. You stand on one
foot and swing the other around
in a semi-circle until it comes to
rest directly in front of the first
one.
OF course. in any costume. you
should always walk, as Margery
Wilson says. on one line.
Bog Trotter
Otherwise you will look like an
Irish bog trotter leaping from one
comparatively dry spot to another
over the ould sod.
The Hollywood walk comes
close 10 dancing; it is a
smooth glide which is quite In
the spirit of a dance frock.
To go still further into sub
tleties, a crinoline skirt requires a
touch-me-not attitude; an animal
ed daintiness of gestures and mien.
4 Chinese mandarin wrap
will suggest the tiny steps and
folded hands of Manchu
princess.
All this sounds terribly over
done. But naturally. not being on
the stage, you will be content with
a mere undercurrent of this feel
ing.
Drape a Train
As to trains, every bride who
has posed for a wedding picture
knows the trick of pirouetting to
drape a train about your feet as
you stand to be photographed or
receive guests.
These tricks remind us of the
smartest mannequin on 57th ST.
A certain merchant swore she was
worth millions to him.
She wasn't conventionally beau
tiful. But she loved clothes. She
would hug a wrap to her as if to
say, Don't you adore it ,"
And she sold the clothes
right off her back.
If women would only cultivate
this feeling for clothes. it would
give them much wider scope.
When a woman says. Il can't
wear clinging things" it may be
because she doesn't know how to
be clinging vine herself.
Every woman is bit of an
actress at heart. So why not
cultivate that talent? It's re-
freshing both TO her and 10
her audience to be all things
10 all men.
So much for the three c's of that
indefinable something for which
charm is as good a word as any
cosmetics. costume and carriage
INCLUDING clothes consciousness).
We promise you they will make
all the difference between resigned
elf-consciousness and serene self
confidence.
