CHAPTER TEN

More than a desire for exercise
was on Jill's mind when she left
the house Tuesday afternoon for a
stroll around the grounds. She
was hoping to see Dougald, the
chief gardener.
She had been delighted with his
talkativeness the previous day. He
had seemed to take fancy to her.
Perhaps she could get some infor-
nation out OF him. He'd been
there for years, he'd said.
She found him in a little shell

reading a magazine, Prince asleep
at his feet. As she appeared, the
dog seeming to sense a strange
presence even in its sleep, instant

'Hello. Prince" she said sooth-

hand.

NOU Is The Time
To Get Exercise

During the summer and early
fall months. nobody needed TO be
urged to get plenty Of sunshine
and outdoor exercise. II was no
burden or bore to play golf or ten
mis-, lie on the beach in the sun. or.
later on, to whiz across the eoun-
tryside. breathing deeply and low
ing natures panorama of autumn
eolors.
Now. however, Is the time when
the average person needs to decide
on some kind of exercise schedule
and then stick to it. Girls who
didn't mind walking to work those
balmy summer mornings now are
forcing themselves to walk home
from work at least twice a week.
Women who won't play golf or ten
mis- again until spring are resolving
to do a set of special exercises at
least Is minutes a day.
The wise, beauty-minded woman
knows that unless she gets exercise
regularly and plenty of fresh air.
she simply won't feel or look as
we'll by the middle of January as
she does now.
She knows, too, that IL she con-
tinues to replace the hours Of re-

weekends with continuous round
of parties, her looks, if not her
actual health, will suffer. II she
has to be up very late one night,

CREW HAIRCUT WITH
A TIKI
BY EMILY POST


Dear Mrs. Post. Ternaps you'll
say that haircuts are outside the
subject Of etiquette. However, its
unsuitability Is in question. and so
take heart In addressing you. Ny
son wears crew haircut every
summer. but this is the first au-
tumn that he has taken a notion
to cut his hair short again. For
school 1t might be all right, but
how is he going to look when he
puts on his Tux and goes TO a
dancer His father thinks we
should just let him cut 1t off again
IL he wants to. But ! feel that IL
you disapprove Of the crew cut and
tux combination. he might be in
fluenced before the time Is too
late.
Answer: What all the other boys
are doing Is Of vital Importance
when a boy is very young. But
even though your son must be 10
or over. it would be my advice, just
the same, to let him do as the other
boys are doing-especially in this
matter of personal appearance.
They evidently think it Is manly
to go around with close-cropped
heads. And since he is old enough
to wear a tuxedo and to like TO
go to dances. he must also be old
enough to have some interest in
girls. Therefore, if the girls think
this haircut in combination with
evening clothes ugly or unsuitable.
they will probably bring about a
change in local fashion. At least,
a few remarks from them, such
as: When did YOU break Jail p
would undoubtedly be more effect
i've than anything you or any older
people say now"

said at last. Il never told any

you"

jeopardize your job, Mr.. Dougald."
Bother that. The truth of the
matter is that for seventeen years,
more or less. Peter Fenwick has
lived in deadly fear"
Then why why have the
guards been dismissed ?"
THE situation doesn't exist any
longer. The man he was afraid
of Is dead. He died several
months ago. Fenwick thinks l
don't know about it, but I do. I
knew when the guards left"
WHO was this man, or don't

closely while he struck a match

"A long time ago." he said,
there was two young fellows in
love with the same girl. And she
was a beauty-long blond hair
that shone in the sun like gold,
and a complexion like peaches and
cream.
The young fellows were pretty
good friends, but both were crazy
about the girl. Strangely enough
when she finally chose one of them
the wrong one, might say-the
other didn't turn bitter. but re-
manned their good friend.
THE one who got the girl
wasn't doing very good in bust
ness, so his unlucky rival took him
into partnership with him. He
was quite prosperous for a young
fellow, and shortly after they
were married he bought this place.
I had worked for him before, and

meg All my friends declare I am

ANOTHER PUZZLED WIFE.
I answered a letter similar to
yours In last nights paper.
There isn't anything I can do
to help you because your prob
lem Is so utterly personal.
However, am going to print
an article ] read recently on this
subject.
The reason why 30 many
women who try hard fail to
make their marriage successful
Is because there Is no such thing
as good wife'--one who would
be a bargain for any man.
There isn't. Whether or not
woman Is a good wife depends
on Just one thing. Is she what
her husband wants of a woman!
woman?
A woman can fit the theoreti-
cal good wife picture perfectly
and still not make n go OF her
marriage.
She may be an excellent
housekeeper. good cook, a
faithful wife. a sensible mother
and still not make the man
she married happy.
Yet II she should lose her hus-
hand, she would say land so
would her women friends) that
she had been a good wife.
A working woman knows that
there Is no such thing as
good secretary'--one who would.
without changing herself or her
tactics, fit the bill for any EN-
ployer.
So each time she goes to a
new job she studies her boss
and tries to do things his way.
Wives could very well take a
tip from the secretary on that
point. They would chuck their
picture Of n good wife out the
window and start In to be what
ever It Is their husbands want
and need.
II a man Is ambitious, impa-
tient to get ahead--a nice. sweet
competent homemaker won't be
enough for him. He viii expect
his wife 10 have enough brains
and studied charm To carry the
family socially.
II he wants an easy-going life
with time for friends and fun.
he'll want his wife to be gay
and companionable. Not one
who will say. mo. we can't 20
out to dinner tonight. ] already
have the potatoes on"
The man who isn't sure of
himself socially needs more than
anything wife who can be
counted on to say the right
thing at the right time.
It's up to every wife to draw
her own picture Of a perfect
wife-and draw II from her hus-
bands preferences and needs"
