anxiously that the manager wanted him inn
mediately in Lady Mavis' chalet. When they
reached the little lodge, Graded in pine trees,
which was the hotels most expensive accom-
modation they found the manager alone in
the living room, looking distracted.

man. Lady Mavis disappear
He told Trant what he knew. Lady Mavis'
Paris-imported maid had come, as usual, from
the servants wing to make morning tea at
seven and had found the chalet empty. She
was familiar with all of Mavis' clothes and
was sure that none of them were missing
except the red velvet dress she had worn the
night before.
IGNORING the lowering assistant manager.
the manager concluded: "Ah, M. Trant, if
telephone the brtteotu1e there is perhaps the
unnecessary seandae. But you, Monsieur -
one hears of your so great reputation with the
unpleasantnesses of America"
Trant, modestly silent, began to search the
room and then moved into the bedroom. The
bed was neatly made. The heavy plate glass
window was shut. The wrap Lady Mavis had
worn the night before was slung over chair.
There was an overpowering - even for Mavis
-odor of Tont0ltzing. A glance at the dressing
table showed bottle of the perfume almost
empty. Intrigued, Trant traced the odor to
an area by deep, blue armchair where it
seemed at its strongest, He dropped to his
knees and observed faint darkish stain on
the flowered carpet. 1t was still trifle damp
He discovered similar smaller stain on a
pillow from the sofa in her room.
"Alors. is it blood?" asked the manager
Il don't think So" Trant moved to the

A Short Story


VoUNG Lieutenant Trant of the New York
Il Homicide Bureau sat in the palm lounge
of Switzerland's most elegant winter sports re-
sort. feeling bored. Around him. international
skiers, turned night owls, were dancing and
laughing as if Europe were still playground.
In the third week of months vacation,
Trant was tired of mountain climbing, glamour
and skis. His one authentic enthusiasm - his
passion for murderers - had been starved.
He watched the dancers, hoping rather
wistfully that one of them would drop dead
under mysterious circumstances.
Jimmie, the British ski instructor, paused
at his table, bringing with him strong smell
of liniment. Trant, who had his own aches
and pains, asked sympathetically:
Hello. Jimmie. How's the arm?''
Still somewhat painful. SIR
JIMMIE, with his sun-bleached hair and lazy
smile, had been imported by an astute man.
agement to make the British clientele feel ''at
home abroad" He was the dream-boy of the
English guests, particularly the female ones,
and knew it. He was also colorfully informed
as to the gossip of the Hotel St. Laurent.
Trant, who took an unorthodox interest in the
backstairs of life, had made the Yorkshire
born ski instructor his particular crony.
And what of our girl friend and company
tonight Jimmie?"
table where two young men and two girls, we'll
sun-tanned, were making a stormy but strik-
ing quartet.
Lady Mavis' party, sir?' Although Jim
mics speech and presence would have done
credit to duke, his British training kept him
invariably respectful I'm afraid trouble may
be brewing again, sir"
Trouble, remarked Lieutenant Trant. 's
something which Lady Mavis Mariner car
ries around like pocketbook"
Jimmie grinned. "She is bit of what you
might call magnet, SIR
"A magnet for males'
lRANT alerted. for at the other side of the
palm lounge the blonde had risen in apparent
pique. Turning her back contemptuously on
her companions, she skirted the dancers and
made her way to Trants table. She sat down
and gave him binding smile which she then
switched to Jimmie
Jimmie. darling be an angel and rescue
my pocketbook from those dreary people" As
Jimmie hurried obediently off, Lady Mavis.
Englands prettiest, wealthiest and probably
most irritating bright young thing, moaned to
Trant: Darling. be nice to me- You're the
only bearabe male in Switzerland"
Lieutenant Trant, whose taste in women
was also unorthodox, felt certain weakness
for Lady Mavis although. apart from torrid

window, pushed it up and peeIed intently at
the sill. He gave little grunt. Look"
At his side, the manager looked. Caught
on wood splinter was scrap of red velvet
Trant gazed soberly down the steep sloping
bank to large snowdrift among the pines. A
few minutes later. he, the manager and the
assistant manager, with shovels, discovered
Lady Mavis in the snowdrift - dead
Crouched by the body, Trant felt cosmic
pity for Lady Mavis and all other foolish
young women who reap what they sow.
I'm afraid that she's been murdered. Prob
ably smothered by pillow from the sofa in
her room, he added sadly.
But only part of him was sad The other
part was musing on Mavis' murderer as
hungry owl might muse on mouse.
They moved around the side of the chalet
to its little front porch which faced away from
the hotels facade toward the glistening Alps.
Mavis' skis were balanced precariously against
the wall. Since the "scandole" was now
inevitable, the assistant manager was COM
missioned to telephone Lausanne.
Trant remarked almost plaintively: Now
WIN HSAsSS CIV S0AiAASS yOA "Ou HC.
But yes, Monsieur" The manager was
wringing his hands. "Al the way from
Lausanne they must come And such ques-
tons. such crudities. All. please"
lRANT beamed and called after the assistant
manager: Send Jimmie, and his roommate
Soon Jimmie arrived with one of the Swiss
ski instructors. From their distraught faces,
it was plain they had been told the news
Trant said: did you wax Lady Mavis' skis
last night, Jimmie?"
''Yes, sir"
when did you bring them back?"
AT one, sir"
What did you do?"
Il knocked. Lady Mavis answered she was
going to bed - to leave them on the porch"
Then what?''

physical appeal, she had nothing to recon-
mend her. She was both silly and selfish and,
although she worked overtime to fascinate
every man in sight, she remained - he was
sure - technically as virtuous as police
matron.
What's the trouble tonight, Mavis?"
She shrugged. my dear, so stupid. Just
because that divine Larry Howard happens to
think have talent for the films, Carlos
smolders. And that revolving Claire Howard.
Really. she thinks I'm trying to steal her hus-
band! So vulgar and American of her.
From this rambling statement, the expert
enced police officer in Trant deduced that
Lady Mavis, who was currently engaged to
the Mexican playboy, Carlos Villanueva, had
been vamping the multimillionaire Hollywood
producer, Larry Howard, thus infuriating both
Howard's wife and her own fance.
Really" continued Mavis, batting her
huge lashes and looking almost unbearably
luscious, Jealous people are so dismal Let's
dance"
Lady Mavis' dancing was an expert seduc-
ton. Sinuous in Trant's arms and headily
perfumed with Tontolizing, she murmured:
You really are intriguing. So mysterious
I'm sure you do something fascinating"
RANT. who knew he was being exploited
merely to make Carlos Villanueva and the
divine" Larry Howard that much more dis
mally jealous, grinned at her affectionately
I'm only clay in the potter's hands,
They went back to the table Jimmie had
brought Lady Mavis' pocketbook Mavis daz-
zled at him.
Jimmie, you're duck Please be lamb
and wax my skis. We're starting early tomor-
row and I've got to have them done tonight"
Jimmie, all ducal gallantry, said: ''Of course,
Lady Mavis.'
They're in the cabin. My maid will let
you in. Just bring them back and put them
on the porch when they're DONE"
As Jimmie disappeared, Mavis said to Trant:
There's still nothing like English service, is
there? Darling, let's dance again."
Lady Mavis danced long and shamelessly
enough with Trant to drive her erstwhile COM
panions, one after the other, from the lounge.
Having achieved her objective, she with
drew in pursuit of other game Trant got
trapped into an emotional chess match with
the hotel manager and it was one-ffteen be-
fore he escaped to his own elegant front room.
As he opened the window. an eccentric noun
tain squall roared in from the darkness outside.
scattering everything off the tables and top
plng lamp, He started to restore order, re-
fecting that Lady Mavis was like Swiss
wind gust. She too toppled everyone in her
path.
Heawoke next morning at nine to an agitated
Swiss voice saying: "Msieur =. . Msteur."

Never, under any circumstances
use gasoline, naptha, or kerosene
for garment cleaning purposed,' u
warns Mrs. Goodwill. A fluid may
be marked "nOn-explOsive" and
still be flanmable. 1t is imperative
that only a nonflammable clean
ing fluid be used.
If you must dry-clean at home
the following rules are recommend
ed by the National Safety Council
and should be followed at all times.
Store cleaning fluids outside the
house, where toxic and other vap-
Ors will be quickly dissipated. Keep
hands out of solvent, use a suction
washer. Avoid getting cleaning
fluid on clothing or exposed parts
of the body. Dry garments or art
icles thoroughly outside before
taking them into the house. Keen
children at a safe distance from
the cleaning operation. Observe
these precautions even in remov-
ing spots from garments.
