CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
Now do you want to reconsider
your decision? You can see for
yourself how precarious the situa-
ton is"
mo. Mrs. North, I don't want to
reconsider I'll stick with you"
Far from being satisfied with
their plans as they had developed
despite Doctor Hobart's staunch
support and his determination to
stand by them to the end, Mrs.
North went looking for Mark
after the psychiatrist had re-
turned to his patient.
She found him, as she expected,
In the tower room which for
Years had served as his studio
Wearing short sleeved slack
suit, Mark was so intent on a
sketch he was making that he
didn't know his aunt was in the
room until she spoke.
Nice sketch" she commented,

he had all but completed. Then
she started. She recognized the
features-they We're familiar.

Denton-Camilla, my companion
on the trip from Chicago she
said, in surprise.
Thanks. That's just who it's
supposed to be"
But why Camilla? I didn't
know you had seen her except for
glance or two on the train.
Surely, you're not able TO repro
duce such good likeness after a
brief glimpse like that ."
Mark laughed. laid down the
pencil and balanced himself on the
edge OF a table as his aunt seated
herself.
The Photographic eye. Aunty.
One quick glance. and never
forget face"
"Bosh. You couldn't even make
sketch OF me when you were
painting my portrait. unless / sat
for hours and posed for you"
That's right he srinned.
I'm not that good-yet. As a
matter of fact I've seen your Miss
Denton several times since the
train. although I didn't bother TO
tell you about it. considered IL
strictly private that I
didn't need TO worry you about,
so l kept it TO myself"
Mrs. North, however. didn't
look at il in that light and when
she persisted, Mark finally told
her of having seen Cam first at
the races. again at the ball. and
the third time in the house. here.
II don't see why you didn't con-
slider it important enough 10 tell
me - she complained.
After all, we can't have secrets
from each other in this thing
Why didn't you tell me ="
We'll. don't want TO get her
involved in this, too. It's all right
for us to take the chance were
taking. but l don't want any out
siders TO get mixed up in it. She
was Just curious. that was all. and
once j satisfied her curiosity. l
know that she'll respect our con-
fidence."
Which reminded Mrs. North Of
why she really had come TO see
him.
Outsiders have already mixed
into this. I mean besides those
gangsters you told me about"
who. now? >" Mark was really
alarmed.

Most Washington newspaper
women got their start on home
town papers in the South or Mid
die West. Most of them are mar
ried to newspapermen.
Doris Fleeson eollaborates with
her husband John ODonnell on a
daily political column for a New
York paper. It's share and share
alike job. During political cam
paigns, the Fleeson-O'Donnell team
often splits up, one riding the train

from Kansas, and graduated from
the State university.

Fledgling members of the corps
are mostly college graduates. Some
of them have taken journalism
courses. They are as much inter-

which may be the reason their

Real American Girl Says Adeu
Good Taste TODAY
BY EMILY POST

Dear Readers: The whole sub
ieot Of army and navy customs
traditions and usage is outside the
province OF this column. Even
though of course I can understand
why you ask me an occasional
question like the one which i'm.
mediately follows - which does
seem to touch closely on everyday
ers-nevertheless I must ask
you in future 10 ask all such oues-
tons Of persons in the service.
The answer 10 this one question
today ] happen to know and am
printing II in order 10 make this
announcement.
The question is: went to a
dance lately at which several
soldiers kept on their hats while
dancing. Some of us argued about
the propriety of their doing this.
On my side were those who felt
that soldier or no soldier, a man
ought to take off his hat at a
time like this, and on the other
side were those who felt that a
man in uniform has different rules
To go by.
Answer: As long as n soldier
wears his side arms - meaning
sword or pistol-he does not take
off his hat But soldier has no
business dancing with side arms on
and therefore side arms and hats
both should have been removed.
Anniversary Party
Dear Mrs. Post: feel that Il
would be proper for mother, who
Is to celebrate her 50th wedding
anniversary. to wear dinner
dress. After all she is the lady
of the hour" We feel. however.
that the invitations should include
informal" because of certain
groups who are being invited who
never dress except in best day
clothes. And as several hundred
people are coming. mother says
that II we tell others not to dress,
it isn't right II she or the others
in her immediate family dress.
Answer: Certainly no one is GO
ing to resent having your mothers
clothes outshine theirs on this
especial occasion, any more than
they would have objected to her
wearing different dress at her
wedding. She may wear dress
with long skirt but of course
under the circumstances 1t may be
better not to choose anything too
elaborate. | think the other wom-
en- in the family might also wear
dresses with long skirts, at least, |
can't see that the length OF the
skirts matters very much If the
dresses are otherwise simple. II
you think none OF the men will
wear tuxedos, then plain dark
everyday suit would be best for
the groom as well as other men
in the family.

Stresses Freedom OF
Speech And Of Press

judge George Murphy. who is
candidate for reelection TO the
Recorders Court in statement
to the press early this week was
very firm in his belief that illegal
raids and searches by the police
are wrong.
I'VE must militantly guard the
rights Of the most humble citizen,
he continued. "A Judge should not
remain silent when the rights OF
the least OF us Is jeopardized
While l believe that those who
commit crimes OF violence should
apprehended Immediately and tried
with swift and certain justice, we
all know that many OF the thou
sands who pass through our courts
under warrant are the victims Of
ob'idl anu tNOhbhilt tbuulllbuc
beyond their own control"
Judge Murphy believes that these
cases should be approached not
only with great consideration and
sympathy, but with the view in
mind OF regeneration and rehabil-
itation.
The Judge said that he had
found that an efficient psychopa-
trio clinic and probation depart
ment are the best tools we have
to uncover the causes OF crime and
to help cure them.
One OF the decisions Of which
he is the most proud Is his direct
cd verdict in the case OF the Je-
hovah's Witnesses accused Of dis
turbing the peace. He held that
the Bill Of Rights gave this relig-
ious cult the right to assemble and
worship. although the cultists were
