want a rest and don't want tc
fuss about clothes. 80 I merely
mentioned to my children that
WAS going to buy myself some
stacks which / intended to wear
most of the time while mentioning
They were Mortified. Ny boy de.
clared he hated to see an "oid
woman" in pants Il loved that "old
woman dcscriptionl. The girls in
formed me they would not be seen
with me IL l made an exhibition
Of myself in trousers and they also
informed me that I am not a
slender rs used to be. In other
words, Stacks were "out" no far as
the slightly plump woman was con-
cerncd. Now I am far from being
fat. for I weigh 1872 pounds. but
that seems like a ton to my slender
children.
didn't mind the raving Of young
boys and girls for knew they
would soon get used to seeing me
In comfortable clothes while at the
lake. for knew they would see so
many other women in similar out
fits they would soon be reconciled
But here Is my problem. now. The
boy told his father that / intended
to buy Stacks to wear and my hus-
band IL Mortified. He has sulked
and argued and fused about this
simple matter until l can see my
vacation threatened. II have to
70 and fuss about clothes there
will be no rest for me and l GER
tainly need one. l am tired and
while know my husband needs a
rest as much ss do and that the
children are entitled to this two
weeks of fun. I still maintain that
they have no right to interfere
with me In my plans. I want my
two weeks to be days Of comfort
and I am sure that the best way to
have that pleasure il to simplify
the clothes matter.
What do you and your readers
think Of 4 woman wearing Stacks
at a summer resort? Don't you
think II Is q sensible idea!
MOTHER.
I can't see anything wrong
with It. In fact, 90 many women
wear them at summer resorts
now. they are no longer a now
city,. However, IL / were you

60 ahead and buy your slacks-
say nothing to the family until
they see you IN them. 1t won't
be long before they will get used
to your trousered comfort

Dear Miss Grey: In reply to
"Modern's" answer to Kettle call
ing the Pot Black would like to
say that e she had read his letter
carefully, It would not have taken
her 20 long to cool down. At no
place in his letter did the Kettle"
say girls and women were indecent
for going about in abbreviated at
tire. He merely said most Of them
were uglytlegged and skinny or
else too fat.
The Indignant Writer who an
Gwerod Kettle cites gym suits as
= good example Of sensible attire.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Ellen had but one desire, after
she discovered the loss of the key,
and that was to get home as
quickly as she could. but Rick was
in a gay mood. and insisted on Wis
iting several of the concessions on
the pier.
He flung baseballs at target
and sent squealing pig sliding
down a chute when he hit 1t. and
boisterously urged Ellen to join
in the fun.
She made a half hearted effort,
but she could think of nothing
but the treachery of the man at
her side. How could he be so
gay, so happy, so absolutely ir-
responsible after doing what he
had done?
She knew. now, that Barringer
had been right all the time. There
was no longer any doubt but that
Rick was the man he was looking
for-the guilty employee who mad
stolen plans from the drafting
room and sold Nhem to foreign
spies.
Disappointment
She was heart-sick with disap-
pointment. She knew, too, that
all the time she had believed Rick
innocent. That she had been hop
ing he was merely an innocent
victim of Major Barringer's sus-
picions.
Now there was no doubt OF it.
Rick was guilty. He had proved
his guilt by taking the key.
He asked her to dance with him
at the big public dance hall, but
she begged off.
I've suddenly developed split
ting headache, Rick" she said, and
smiled ironically at her excuse. 1t
was the same he had made the
night he had slipped away from
Karl Vorhis party, later joined
Gwen and flown with her to his
secret hideout in the desert.
I'm sorry l dragged you down
here on the pier. You probably
feel miserable"
Il do" she told him. Gould l
go home, please ~
of course" When they reached
her home, he turned to her inn
pulsively. I'm terribly sorry you
don't feel we'll, Ellen. Perhaps we
swan too much"
I'll be all right tomorrow
Plans Ride
I'D planned long ride, to-
night" he said, a bit sadly. There
was something I particularly want
ed to talk with you about. But l
guess it will have to wait, now"
I'm sorry. Some other time.
Good night, and thanks-thanks
for everything"
He stood looking after her, a
