Tom Is Disturbed.
She climbed the stars wearily,
thinking Of what he had said. Not
one defective airplane motor, but
100, 1000. And only she could find
way to stop it.
A little later the buzzer sounded
again. She went down the long
shabby stairs and opened the front
door. 1t might be Hugo Blake with
more instructions he had forgotten
to give.
But it was Tom who stood there.
His lean, rugged face was pale, his
gray eyes were shadowed with
anxiety.
Nancy just learned what hap
pened to you this afternoon-are
you all right?"
She nodded. "Sure. I'm all right" Z"
He started to speak, stopped and
stood staring at her. For a long
moment she looked up at him, at
the tousled hair, the square chin,
the wide mouth. If only he would

'But-they won't be any good?"
He looked at her and suddenly
his round face seemed neither ami
able nor dull. His little eyes flashed
at her through their thick glasses.

He deposited her at the door OF
her rooming house with a renewed
admonition to 60 straight to bed and
rest and not to worry. If there was
any further questioning, he added,
his lawyer would be there.
She climbed the stairs YEARLY to
her room, dropped her hat and purse
on the chair and flung herself on the
bed. 1t seemed to her that she could
never sleep again.
Hours later she was awakened by

"What-happened to him?" It

"Grimshaw was a traitor. He de-

sounded inf1exible and cold.

So take time to experiment with lip

Learn the Art
OF Applying
Makeup
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

The keynote to perfect facial
beauty is to learn to use the mini
mum of makeup, and to use that
expertly after careful study of your
face. There is no assurance that
you will look ravishing after put
ting on rouge, powder, lipstick and
eye allure, unless you have learned
how to put it on and how much to
put on
For instance: Unless you are
striving for bizarre effect, don't
try to change what nature has en-
dowed you with. Improve upon it,
yes, but don't distort it.
Never use rouge unless 1t matches
or blends nicely with the shade of
your lipstick. Your nails, too, should
match your lip shade if you 90 in
for vivid polishes.
Never shave off your eyebrows, or
any superfuous hair on your face.
Eyebrows should be thinned by use

expert electrolysis operator.
Never wear powder lighter than
your current skin tone unless you
carefully powder every inch of ex-
posed skin on your neck, chest and
arms. Light powder on your face,
when your neck is dark, makes you
look sickly or ordinary.
Don't dye or bleach your hair I'M
less your profession demands it..
Then you must budget for expert
applications. Legion are the re-
gretful women who have attempted
to change the color Of their hair at
home!
Eye shadow should be used very
sparingly. Never use it during the
day, unless you wear glasses, or I'M
less you expect to carry on through
the evening without getting home
for new makeup. And be careful
with mascara. Too much robs the
lashes of their beauty.
Never use black eyebrow pencil
even though your brows are very

with short featherlike strokes, and
brush it out with an eyebrow pencil
to acquire sleek arches.

Quarreling
Is a Game
To Some
Just Self.COntrol
And Tact Would
Easily Stop 1t
By DOROTHY DIX.

The reason married couples quar-
rel 50 much can only be explained
on the ground that they get q kick
out of 1t and do 1t to relieve the
monotony OF domestic life. That
this is the case and that the family
row-which is as much a part OF
the daily routine in most households
as orange Juice and cereals-is re-
garded by most husbands and wives
as merely an innocent and harmless
indoor sport is simply proved by
the fact that after they have fought
each other with tooth and nail and
claw, they kiss and darling" and
| "angel-face" each other and go
away lovingly to the movies instead
Of rushing to the divorce court. Hus-
bands and wives spat with each
| other because they enjoy it. For it
is obvious to the meanest observer
that there is never a domestic dis
agreement that could not be stopped
in its very beginning by the slightest
effort on the part of either of the
combatants. A little tact, little
forbearance, little self-control, the
pouring of a few drops Of oil on
| the troubled waters is all that Is
needed to stop the storm before it
gets to blowing great guns OF GRIM
nations and denominations, but
neither one even attempts TO stay
the tempest.
Every husband and wife knows
what is the fighting word to each
other, but are they dumb upon these
controversial subjects? Not at all.
They fling them in their teeth and
have a perfectly beautiful time in
the ensuing scrimmage.
| 1t is not stupidity that makes
husbands and wives quarrel from
the altar to the grave over religion
and politics and smoking and liz.
| stick and how to bring up the chill
| dren. 1t is because they get a thrill
out of it.
That this view Of the domestic
spat is commonly held is borne ou,
by letter that I have received
from young woman who is abouI
to be married, and who asks:
rs it true that married couples
should quarrel every now and then
so that they won't get tired Of
each other? The man I love and
to whom I am engaged thinks that
| if a husband yes-yessed his wife
all the time and never fought with
her that she would become too
sure of him and deviate from her
marriage VOWS. But I think that
wife would love her husband all
the more If he was always kind
and tender and considerate of her
point of view
The theory that the way to hold
a wife's love and make marriage
interesting to her by making it
sparring match is a new one, but
undoubtedly 1t has its points. No
one can deny that there are plenty
of wives who go about with a chip
on their shoulders that they dare
their husbands to knock of. They
are spelling for a fight and prob
ably would find life lacking in pep
with a man who always agreed with
| them.

he'd get to fight the cat who owns
the cat hole out at the Cloisterers.
So in the privacy of the garage he
stirred up little whirlpools of joy
Then resuming his attitude Of bored
dignity he trotted back to the house
for his water pan.
The articles he neglected to re-
member he hoped no one else would.
There was his brush for one item,
his comb for another. He slid them
under the bed. They were promptly
rescued and packed along with his
blanket by the mistress. She in
cluded feline manicure scissors as a
warning measure.
Everything being in order, the
kitten escorted his family to the
car and crawled up on the back
seat. He could drive better from
there. For the first few miles out
of Washington he was very much
occupied just keeping his whiskers
at the correct angle to his head.
Then he took time to inspect
scenery as they passed 1t or 1t

After shifting around in the rear
of the car he remembered his sand
box on the floor. At that point
they were just passing the outskirts
of Baltimore. Nice to have all the
comforts of home out in the great,
wide world!
The folks left him in the car
when they stopped for second
breakfast. They trusted his in
tegrity, but not his ancestry. So
the car windows were raised a bit
and the feline lead attached to
an immovable object.
When he discovered the New
Castle Ferry to be their next line
of approach he realized that it was
time for him to take a paw. He
did. He perched himself upon the
masters shoulder on the front seat
and drove all the day to and

already blessed with a patriotic

however, lends added interest to an
item that has long been highly rated

extra adornment for your dressing
table, an aid to your freshness and
your cosmetic budget. 1t makes an
ideal gift, for it's an inexpensive
item that looks imposing, original
and costly.
One of the things that turns
beauty editors gray overnight is
this business of trying to describe

have it sound like something mem
toned a week or so ago. OF course,

difficult to convey in words the
slight difference that means so
much in making the right choice.
This time, however, we think
we've found lipstick that can actu-
ally be described as something new
and entirely different. It's the pro-
duct of one of our well-known cos
metic firms and the color is deep
rich red that is not too dark for
your approval. Most dark lipsticks
are too intense for the average
woman, but this one brings out the
glowing colors of your complexion
by it's accent, without giving you the
looking "liver tone" that so
many deep shades provide. Girls
with very fair skins have found 1t
perfect. especially if they are just a
little tired of being forced to use
light, orangy shades because the
deeper ones are just too black.
Startlingly lovely when worn with
summer clothes, it also promises to
be a fall season success with rich
wine shades and military blues. You'll
be delighted with the texture of this

If our salary would permit it (are

hand bouquet of orchids to one of
our local beauty salons. They have
conceived the idea of aiding the
Red Cross by buying wool and
needles and permitting patrons of
the shop to knit a few rows while
f1dgeting under the dryer. Happily
enough, the response has been ex-

into the shop and see hair-netted,
