 As Designer Aims to Keep Elm Cheering

Just to put an exclamation point after it, the model carried Q garden fresh--that is, a vegetable garden fresh-bouquet.
 Joking aside, Mrs. Benenson calls for "a sincere respect for the times, and she proceeds to demonstrate by using scarce materials econom- ically, and using plentiful goods freely.
 Characteristic silhouette for eve- ming is a modification of her last Falls S-profile-with bosom high, stomach in, and the rest takes care of itself.
 CREATIONS ARE MADE
 'VTCTORY WORTHY"
 Her daytime silhouette bodes cheer for women everywhere who think of pegtop skirts as they were in World War I, tight at the knees, wide at hips, pinched in at the waist, rather flat in the back.
 Every designer who has em- ployed 1t has modernized 1t some what this year, and now Mrs. Ben- enson really handles 1t roughtly much to the benefit of the Wearer In her interpretations, the back isn't exactly flat. It is sometimes gored; sometimes 1t has a slight center-back flare near the hem. Mrs. Benenson says this skirt of hers takes much less material than the full ones of peace eras.
 One other good-news trend of the new spring clothes is under lined by this collection. It is the practice of making clothes both victory-worthy and becoming by cutting them generously out of such substitute material as is still plentiful.
 Typical of this: the organza din- ner frock. This modest, beautiful sheer fabric substitutes, in grace fully shaped, circular skirts, for handsomer textiles which would have to be skimped now if worn at all. The six openings of the week show that the designers are bent on patriotic, good, cheerful clothes.
 The Benenson collection exem- plifles an outstanding and pleasant point which can be seen in the Sprig openings as whole. The

 This Is the time of year when the woman with extra dry skin will need to take particular care to pro- vide 1t with suf1cient oction to keep it soft and smooth. If ae skin is exceptionally dry, she i.dght try substituting good, norl-drying cleansing cream for soap and water washing for a week or so.
 Before going to bed, she will cleanse her sl5in--a11d that means her neck and throat as well as her face--with cream, then pat on a very mild skin tonic and let dry. AfteTward she will apply 6 rich night cream, generously, using up- ward and outward strokes, rnassag- ing it well into the throat, nape of neck over cheeks and across fore- head. Then she will remove the ex- cess with soft tissue, leaving on a thin film while she sleeps.
 She will select a foundation cream or lotion that is protection against the drying effects of March winds as well as makeup base. Also, sheTl probably find cream rouge more satisfactory than dry, even though it takes a bit more time to apply. She'll be careful to blend 1t perfect ly so there are no harsh lines or rough edges.

HAND LOTION
 IS IMPORTANT

If the skin on her face and throat are dry, its quite probable that hands, arms, possibly her whole body, need some sort of fabrication. She will apply hand lotion faith fully after each hand washing and at night at bathing, will massage a soothing, non-sticky body lotion into her skin, using 1t generously around ankles heels, elbows and wrists. Once a week, at least, she will use some of her rich night cream on hands, arms and elbows.
 She'll be particular about the creams and lotions as well as the powder, rouge and npstick she buys. None may have drying tendencies and she will use them exactly ac- cording to directions.

been murdered - and Rose haC
been hailed to that hut in the
highlands. Jerry furiously saw
the car rattle away. With every
nerve taut, with every muscle
straining, he ran.
Seconds became minutes-min-
utes seemed hours. This section
of the countryside proved at once
as desolate\as that toward which
! Jerry toiled. No farms now-nc
houses-not even another traveller
The woods had closed in. Only
the trees above; below only this
rough road and along it the black
and white of fatal Burners Creek.
Nevertheless, the route was In
deed the most direct, as Jupe had
declared it to be. It brought Gid
den at last to the turnpike at a
point between Ironburg and that
at which the old cart track cut
toward clearing and cliff.
There stood the shanty, more
tan ever like tumbling tomb.
But something strange rose before
it; a parked touring car, silent
empty. Nothing else unusual
nothing stirred.
Jerry was unarmed. Almost
without stopping, he picked up
what looked like a tough stick
that lay in his course. He ran
lightly, but, beyond that, took no
precaution against giving alarm.
Here was the garden, here those
rusted tools. A weapon, after all!
He snatched a spade and swung
it against the closed door.
Jerry had expected locks re-
sistance. Instead, the door flew
open so readily that the spade
clattered to the floor.
II suppose this is that man you
were telling me about, TWombley?
Come in, Mr.. Glidden. I can't
call you welcomes; but I figured
by your wire to Miss Walker that
you might get here this evening,
so we'll have to make the best
of it."
Beside redheaded Twombley at
lamplit table the speaker sat
gray man, but powerful. Grey
hair fringed a bald dome; grey
was his thin, savage face with its
dubious nose and mere slit OF
mouth; grey eyes devoured Jerry
through horn-rimmed spectacles
Yet the fellow combined the
shoulders of a bull with the arms
of a gorilla.
Carlin, of course. Who else
could it be? Though Glidden hao
never before seen him-scarcely
seen him now:
"Rose!"

Poultry Expert
Heard By Club

On the spacious lawn of Mrs
Houck, of Baldwin, Mr.. P. T
Brown, poultry specialist from
the North Carolina Extension
service, spoke before a group OF
members of the Baldwin Home
Demonstration Club, FSA offici-
ais, and others, on the future for
poultry production.
In reviewing the need for more
poultry production, Mr.. Brown
stated that not only to supply the
need of more eggs for home con-
sumption but to help supply the
war emergency need and increase
our family budget.
Mr.. Brown gave some very
helpful ideas on the care of poul-
try. One of the best remedies
for lice on poultry is sodium
floride. A mixture of motor oil
and kerosene used as a spray or
paint will rid the hen house OF
mites.
At the conclusion of the lecture,
a demonstration was given on the
culling of hens. ID
A business meeting of the Home
Demonstration club members was
called by the president, Mrs. Ward
Ray, for the purpose of checking
on equipment for home care OF
the sick.

Synopsis

A man identified as Joseph
Slim is found drowned in the
Hudson river near Albany, N. Y.
Slim was insured by the PrOtec-
tive Life Insurance company, and
his beneficiary is a man named
B. b. TwOmbley who lives in
Troy. The company's Albany a.
gent, Carlin, Identifies the body,
and the insurance money is paid
to TwOmbley. But Jerry Glidden,
suspecting that Slim was muir
dered, has gone to EOnburg, a
little mining town i'm Pennsylvan-
la, to see an "Angela Slinn." She
turns out to be an ugly recluse
of woman who lives In a shack
near the abandoned Break o.
Day" iron mine. She denies know
Joseph Slim. Rose Walker, grand
daughter of the owner of the
mine, runs the local store and
post office. When a man registers
at the hotel as B. B. TwOmbley of
Portland, Maine, Jerry wires Troy
and learns that TwOmbley has
moved to Maine. He has already
seen Twombley with Rose Walker,
and again at Angela Sims shack,
so Jerry is not surprised to dis
cover that he is trying to buy
the "Break O'Day" mine. Jerry
goes to the mine to get sample
of ore, and while he is there,
something is thrown into the wa
ter. Learning that an expert who
can Judge the value of the iron is
vacationing near Pittsburg, Jerry
goes there. When the expert tells
him the iron is good, he wires
Rose not to sell and starts back
to Ironburg.
