They appraised her insolently.
Hello. baby one of them said.
Good evening" she answered
not looking at them.
Welcome to our modest roof
tree"
Thank you"
Clara relieved Ann Of the suit
case. Those fresh mugs" she
muttered. IF Mrs. Toilet keeps a |
respectable house why does she
rent rooms to guys like that"
They climbed another flight Of
stairs, arriving in square hall. ,
Doors stood open and the hall apr
peared TO be filled with girls.
Clara made an informal introduce /
ton.

identical pajama suits, smiled iden-

en- look. She said, Hello, Ann
in a timid, breathless tone.
Hey, Florabelle," Clara called
and an apparition appeared in one
of the open doors. She was ash
blond and dangerous and poised.
She held long jade cigaret holder
between two fingers. A plume Of
smoke floated upward. She wore
an orchid satin housecoat. She
nodded lazily.
"Ah,' she said throatils, "an-
other little bird comes to our hap
Ply nest" She placed the holder to
her lips and threw back her head,
observing Ann through narrowed
eyes.
I'm glad to know all of YOU.
Ann said.
The hall emptied itself into the
various doors.
Gotta dress for a heavy date,
Neddy remarked, tapping grace
fully on the wooden floor.
Teddy fell into step. Heavy
date" she echoed.
They've always got heavy
dates" Clara said in an aside.
Florabelle leaned decoratively
against the door casing. That's q
snazzy hat you're wearing, Ann
she said indifferently.
Thank you'll made It myself.
"Snazzy." Then, Got a steady
boy friend"
NO"
Like to step out"
"Why-yes-"
"Ill fix you up" She floated
into her apartment and closed tho
door. Ann looked after her, wish
ing she had declined Florabelle'i
patronizing kindness. Later she
was sure she should have declined
but that was when Florabelle KEEP
good her word.

Why a Second Marriage

Dear Mrs. Post: My daughter
just told me that she and John"
have been married for six months.
John" is the boy we've known
for many years. In fact, our
families have always known each
other. AS none of us saw the
ceremony, which was performed
by a strange minister, we'd like
to have another ceremony here
at home and have our own clergy
man perform it. May we send out
announcements of the marriage,
and If so, should the date of the
other ceremony, or this new one,
be used on them?
Answer: If they had been mar
ried by magistrate, it would be
understandable TO have a religious
ceremony now. But since they
were married by clergyman
there is little excuse for repeating
the ceremony. This Is a question,
however, that your own clergyman
should have the privilege of de-
Gliding. To give a reception in
their honor will be entirely proper.
The usual wording of the invita-
tons would be:
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones Brown
request the pleasure of your
company
at a reception in honor Of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Wales
Saturday evening, the 18th of April
from eight TO ten o'clock.
But if you particularly want to
announce the date of the marriage,
the form might be:
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones Brown
request the pleasure of your
company
at a reception
Saturday evening, the 18th of April
from eight to ten o'clock
in honor of
the marriage of their daughter
Martha
and
Mr.. John Wales
Friday, the sixth of October
one thousand nine hundred and
thirty nine

Relief From Wolves
Sought by Canadians

Mako, b. C.-Stockmen here
today were petitioning the British
Columbia government to declare
war on marauding wolves.
Guy Prosser, spokesman for the
stockmen, said that wolves had
killed scores of calves in the area
during the past few months and
were becoming more and more
daring.
The stockmen asked that the
bounty on wolves be increased or
that hunters be hired to slay
them.

Two duchesses queen, the richest girl-inhe world

long earrings are her forte.
The tiny. thin face would be
overwhelmed by gigantic button
earrings, where as delicate little
jeweled drops might be charming.
The woman with tiny features
may build her hair outward a little
at the sides, but she must avoid
bushy hair-dos.
Great masses Of hair always
make a face look smaller than it
actually is.

her arms won't hang so limp and
straight. She should keep them
up always. OF course lifted Shout
ders are no end of help to her
figure-and a touch of white or
color at the throat. Oxford glasses
are better than specs. The hairdo
sketched win help her prominent
nose and receding chin. A hat fol-
lowing the line of the hair will do
the same thing. While high heels
will slim her ankles and give her
better posture.

Few and far between are styles
that are universally becoming.
For the most part, each and
every woman has to search for
clothes which will dramatize her
own best features and minimize
less attractive ones.
The girl with a long face should
by all means avoid necklaces with
dropping pendants at the front.
The pendants only tend to elon-
gate the already too long line
from forehead to chin. However,
II she wears a pendant necklace
backwards, the reverse effect Is
achieved. Choker beads are bet
ter for her than chest-length ones.
She should skip long. dangling
earrings.
TRICKS TO
WIDEN FACE
She will find also that round col
lars and high, frilly jabots shorten
her features, while long. pointed
revers do just the opposite. She
will be more flattered by brimmed
hats or those with fullness low at
the sides than by halo shapes or
turbans with high bows above the
forehead.
Furthermore, the long-faced type
will avoid clusters of curls on top
of the head. The top of her Golf
fure should be flat with fullness
at sides.

stitute Of Public opinion.
Ever since the outbreak Of the
European war Il months ago.
American policy and public opin-
ion alike have tried to balance
those two prineiples-to help the
Allies but to keep out of war our
selves. In an effort to establish
which of tire two principles seemed
the more important to the average
American voter. the Institute has
conducted a special series Of
studies In which men and women
in every state have been asked:
Which of these two things do
you think is the more important
for the United States to try to do
to keep out Of the war ourselves.
or. to help England win. even at
the risk of getting into the war;"
As Of today-with Britain fac
ing the threat of imminent inva-
sion-slightly more than half the
voters with definite opinions on
the question in the Institute sur

greatest need is 10 help England
win, even at the risk Of becoming
involved.
IF England wins, we won't have

may be our turn next"-that is the
way the typical American in this
group feels about the question, the
survey found.
