He did so. Yves Wickman, how
ever, was not at Headquarters. He
was not expected until morning.
The sergeant offered to send up an
other man. Aggie decided to wait
until morning. II was a terrible
decision-not from Aggie's view
point but from the viewpoint Of
chance. He went TO bed awhile later
and fell into q troubled sleep. A
creaking Of the stairs woke him up.

the lights clicked on. She was wear

Aggie grinned. Yeah. It's quite

She sighed You're a very funny

You'll husband that's ridiculous

Aggie blushed as they started
into the club.

Il wish I'd met you long ago-and
some other way" She laughed. "0r

She's extremely beautiful-and |
suppose - having spent so much
time in the tropics-you prefer
Orunettes."
She looked at him wickedly and
his blush deepened. But the glimmer
in her eyes faded back to anxiety.
I'm incorIigible. she said.
Aggie walked back to Rainbow
Lodge in the early part of the eve
ming. He had left Danielle at the
club-with Ralph Patton and Beth
and Bill Calder. Left her sitting
with them, talking, killing time,
listening to the radio. 1t seemed to
Aggie that, having told all she
knew. she had completely relaxed.
The burden was now on his Shout
ders. He had no idea what to do
about it. II Sarah were only a little
less silent and truculent-more con-
fiding--he would tell her. He decid-
ed, as he walked, that he would
tell Sarah part Of il, anyway. He
needed help.
She was in bed, Around her were
unopened books, unplayed games,
unread magazines. She looked at
her nephew with disturbed eyes
and said, If you want to learn
patience and humility, try the
mumps! What's afoot?"

He was almost supercilious. "oh,

At the business meeting it was

played Wieniawski's Concerto in
D-Minor, allegro moderate. which
was aptly chosen to show the results
of her years of study.
Five Chopin compositions made
up the second piano group and the
varied style Of the different selec-
tions illustrated Miss Ingle'S wide
range. The compositions were the
prelude in D-Flat Major, Pre-
lude in G Major, Prelude in B.
Flat Major, "Etude in F Minor"
and "Polonaise in c Sharp Minor.
Bloch's spell-binding lament, Mi
gun" opened the next group of violin
pieces, followed by the Romance"
movement from Wieniawski's Con-
certo. The gypsy air La Gitana"
by Kreisler was in bright contrast.
DEBUSSY GROUP
A group of four Debussy compost
tionS formed Miss Ingle'S next piano
group, in which she displayed unus-
ual mastery Of the Frenchman's
works. The exotic % eme ArabaSque"
was followed by "Voiles" in Debus-
sy's tradition of delicately misty
compositions. Adapting herself to
another mood, Miss Ingle played
Ministries" followed by the con-
trasting and descriptive La Cathe-
drale engloutie."
A highLgnt of the program for
many was the closing selection,
Grieg's Concerto A Minor, allegro
moderate, with Mrs. Livingston in
the second piano parts. This posi-
tive melody gave full range to Miss
Ingle's ability for contrast and
change of moods and was enhanced
by the shading of the second piano.
To complete the evening, Miss
Ingle played as her encore, STIR

Clean Nail Dirt
Hidden by Polish

Because colored polish makes dirt
caught up by fingernails almost in
visible, many women fail to flush
out the soil as often as they should.
What brings this up is mani
curiSt's remark that she's always
shocked at what polish remover
brings to view en- the nails of faS-
tidious customers.
Colonies of bacteria in stagger-
ing numbers thrive in fingernail
dirt. We say this not to frighten
you, but in order to open your
eyes to the fact that the more
germs there are, the greater is the
risk CT harboring enemies.
The frequent contact between
fingers and food and fingers and
mouth makes it all the more i'm
portant that nails be kept as asep-
tically clean as soap, water and a
scrub brush will make them. A
safe routine is to scrub under nails
every time you wash your hands.
