In the center Of this roof is the

One thing about this years
clothes is their neatness. No girl
will be well dressed If her
shoulder straps and neckline IS
not perfectly fitted.
Even though one retains the
perfect Ia or 80. her straps and
skirt length will generally need
some adjustment. No matter
what the material may be. a
perfectly fitted costume will be
smart

The Eyes
Failure 10 correctly classify
the face under its proper head

the whole grooming scheme, is a
frequent detractor from perfec-

Women who have noticeably
roundish eyes should also do a
bit OF study on the correct cos
metic grooming procedures, with
the idea OF making the eyes
seem more oval through the
missionary powers of makeup.
Creating a makeup without a

drank Scotch and the Crown Prince "guzzled
beer while l. my sweetheart, drank coffee"
Il am just big boy" he confessed, who
is tired from overwork. Won't you let me go
to sleep in your arms? My wonderful one,
am waiting for you. Don't let me down."
She didn't, and late in May of this year she
evidently consented because his diary records:
Edith is coming. Thank God she is start
ing tomorrow"
To her he wrote the following which was,
no doubt meant for poetry:
Glad welcome home, my love,
with joyous thrill, my heart is pulsating
for thy return
mo more of those lonely hours, while sand
is burned their forms like spectres self is con-
sumed at will
when? In pensive meditation, and sad at
heart and plagued with with great concern"
This did not quite express his feeling be-
cause he followed the letter with this tele-
gram:
Il strike the stars with my exalted head.
Happiest man on earth. Come quick"
But Edith tarried long enough to receive
also this one
Madame la Princess:
Il shall certainly be at the train to meet
you when you get here. 1 shall have mar
riage license in my pocket and Wen be
married in a church.
Edith in my last letter to you 1 broke a
most solemn promise made to my brother and
TO your country. l told you who was Please
do not tell until give you permission.

are just so much my wife now as you can
ever be by the laws OF God and man.
Il Marshal Ney of France. My name
is Charles Napoleon Ney. Napoleon Ronaparte
made my great grandfather Prince of Mos
cowa in Russia in 1872 am the oldest son
Of that line.
I've never been married before. I've never
kissed but six women in my life. I've just
been too busy.
But Edith, I am not ignorant. I am recog-
nizcd as the worlds foremost military legal

startled for the first time. What makes you
ask that"
Where did you get the name Napoleon"
II am the great-great- grandson of Marshal
Ney whom Napoleon called 'bravest of the
brave and those are the remains of my spouse,
the Princess De La Mascowa"
"All right Napoleon, come along with us"
What had gone before was as easy to dig
up as it was hard TO believe.
Napoleon Ney, turned out to be Charles
Hayden who, until last Winter had been
rural mail carrier, living outside of Talladega,
Alabama.
Wearying of this commonplace life, he
turned his back on il all and with his life
savings of a few hundred dollars turned up in
a boarding house of St Petersburg. Florida
but under the new Dame of Charles Napoleon
Ney, and also a new personality
Twice Charles had been confined in-an
asylum at Tuscaloosa, Ala. Most insane asy-
lums contain at least one Napoleon" and most
boarding houses at least one crack-pot, but
before the other guests had time TO classify
him, he concentrated on a new arrival.
The Widow Lane" was nobody's fool. She
had accumulaea/7o years experience and
$4,000 cash. Those who knew her in dor
chester, suburb of Boston, said that only
crazy man would try to get dollar away
from her.
A crazy man evidently did succeed.
The rest of the Winter Charles courted
Edith who still had gold in her hair
He swore her to secrecy and therefore his
line of approach would be unknown except for
some of his letters AS the season waned,
Edith went home, still intact as far as her
$4,000 was concerned but her judgment evil
IDENTIFY shaken because he was able to complete
wooing by mail
Though she had not yet promised TO marry
him. he addressed the letters to Madame La
Princesse" and signed them Charles Napoleon
Ney, Prince De La Mascowa."
Besides promising title and to make her
the richest woman in the world which seems
to have been the bait which finally hooked her

police that he told them he didn't have the
keys.
While Aldige went in search of something
with which to break the trunk open the cap
tain Of police questioned Ney about his wife,
finally asking:
What would you say If we should find
your wifes body in that trunk?"
II would certainly be surprised" replied
the little man. "She is plump woman and I
don't see how anyone could squeeze her into
such a small trunk"
That's what 1 say" commented Mrs. AL
dige The captain felt that way too But
there was the blood. Never in the police cap
tain's experience. however, had he seen
guilty person show such indifference when the
truth was about to be revealed. He had
feeling that he was about to look foolish, as
one of his men went TO work ON the trunk with
an old tire iron
There was snap and up flew the top, re-

covered with towel and several pounds of
rock salt.
The womans battered head was bent down
TO meet her hands, folded in an attitude sug-
gestive Of prayer.
The trunk could hardly have been closer

was the first to break the silence.
THAT is positively my wife" he assured
them all calmly. How did she get in there,
after 1 put her on the train Thursday"
Did you kill herr" asked the captain.
Il have no recollection of it, If / did
mrst have been out of/my mind No, it must
have been done by some Of my enemies. They
often try to kill me and her too"
What is your full name ?" Capt. Williams
asked.

why no. said the little man, looking
