An all-occasion crepe frock with becoming surplice yoke is the wise choice of the matron whose wardrobe is as limited as her income. She finds the clean-cut lines of the collarless neckline a nice change from too many binding collars, and slenderizing as well. She's also partial to diagonal or vertical-line seams which do their bit, in a very subtle way, to reduce the size of bust and hips. Best of all is the versatility of just such a frock for you may dress it up with more elaborate accessories, or alternate with tailored ones. Choose satin or sheer wool for it, if you prefer.

Pattern 2399 is available in sizes 16. 18. 20. 34, 36. 38.

Could it be that the face Janet had seen at the Tower window was that of this mysterious person whom Rajah obeyed? Certainly, the dog did not take orders from Nita or Miss Boisevain. He ignored inem. Someone else in the house.

"You had better go to bed, child," Miss Boisevain said softly. "Can't I sit up all night with you? You may need me." "Nita will stay. Goodnight." Janet looked indecisively at Nita. The servant nodded her head, agreeing with her mistress, and the girl made ready to leave the room. Nita preceded her as usual with a candle, escorting her up the stairs.

At the top she handed her the light, and vanished down the dark hallway. Janet entered her bare room, locked the door carefully and sat on the edge of her cot. Someone else in the house she couldn't rid the thought from her mind. Suddenly arising, she walked to the door and tried it. It was firmly locked, and the key turned.

No one could possibly get through that door tonight. Yet, last night and the night before, her room had been entered. True, it had been simple the first night, because she had no key. But last night, she had locked the door securely. And in the morning she had found the window open! Was there another entrance to the room? With her candle in her hand, she explored the clothes closet which opened off the room on the north wall.

No door here from the outside. She held the light high again to make sure. No. no door there but on the paneled wall she suddenly saw finger marks. She went carefully ever the wall of the closet, but found the finger prints only at one spot i near the moulding of the panel.

The rest of the paper was faded, but clean. The marks were about the height of her shoulders, and plainly visible in the-candleliglft. Quickly re-entering the bedroom, she looked over the walls there. Not a sign of a finger mark. Another trip to the closet, and she placed her own fingers on the marks and pressed against the moulding.

The small panel slid back, and she was looking into the darkness! Trembling a little, she slipped off her shoes and went forward slowly She was in another bare room, a room she had investigated from the hall. The room adjoining hers! On the walls of the room, at exactly the height of the finger marks in her closet, she found other marks. "Do not take a light she remembered 'Miss Boisevain's warning. And she hastily returned to her room again and put the candle down in the middle of the floor. Then she slipped through the door of the empty room into the hall.

I No sign of Rajah not a sound broke the stillness of the house. She ascended the steps to the third floor, cautiously, holding onto the railing for support. She could see nothing at all. There was a little draft on the floor of the third floor hall when she reached it, and her ankles began to get a little cold. At the top of the landing, she strained her eyes to look about, but could see nothing.

As her eyes became accustomed to the darkness, she groped her way to a door, and felt for a handle. There it was! The east tower was where she had seen that faee this door would not lead to it she would have to go further. For a moment she sat down on the floor to rest, listening for the warn- Gladys Glad "Dear Miss Glad: I'm only a lowly male, but I will seek your advice, nevertheless. You see, I realize that men must preserve their youthfulness of appearance as well as women, if they wish to be business and social successes. My problem is my hair.

I've been wearing a hat all summer in an attempt to keep the sun from making my hair dry and brittle, yet despite this, I find that my hair has become dry and harsh anyway. Could you offer me any ad vice? "HARRY." Gladys GU4 Dry hair is quite a common condition among men today, and in many cases Is caused by excess perspiration of the scalp. The constant wearing of tight hats and hat-bands restricts the free flow of the blood through the scalp, and increases the activities of the sweat glands. In addition, the first thing a man usually does when 'his hair becomes dank and moist with perspiration is to wash it. Such frequent ablutions also have a drying effect on the hair.

To treat this condition, hot oil treatments, such as the castor oil shampoos described in my "Beauty Culture" booklet, should be given the hair at frequent intervals. This will restore the natural oil to the hair and make it soft and glossy. In addition, the hair should be brushed briskly and the scalp massaged daily, in order to stimulate the circulation in the scalp and thus promote hair and scalp health.

wrv. t-- if v.i. v.v... v-ti A Mam Thus is wrought the miracle by which every old hen hatches out swans of surpassing whiteness and beauty, and all's well in the nursery. Mother beams with pride oer the little pie-faced baby in the bassinet that is so homely ycu wonder she saved it.

She sees genius and intelligence in a countenance that has no more expression than a cream cheese. She thinks that it is only jealousy that keeps her lanky, snub-nosed, sandy-haired daughter from being chosen Miss America, and she lies awake at night wondering whether she would rather have her slow-witted son be President of the United States when he gvows up, cr a famous author, or a must face the front. The tower was directly above it. She stopped to quiet her racing nerves. Perhaps there would be a staircase in this room if she could but find the window and open it she could see by the starlight, or the moon might have risen a little.

She found the window and pulled tip the blind, but the shutters were too much for her and she gave them up in despair. Ah here was the door. Her hand had touched a cold, smooth knob. She turned it slowly but the door did not open. It must be locked! All the other doors she had tried were open all she had to do was turn the handles.

Again she tried, but with no success. The door was fastened tightly. Was that a sob she heard? She listened again. A slight noise from above again came to her ears. Yes, it was a sob, scarcely audible.

She would never have heard it had not her senses been so keyed up by fright. She might have thought it was the wind. There was someone in the tower! Someone yet. Blair Rodman's car had been driven away! Janet leaned against the door to puzzle out the problem. She had imagined that the person in the tower room had driven away the car yet she had distinctly heard someone there just now.

She scratched her nails against the wood of the door panel softly. A knock might be heard. Miss Boisevain had keen ears Again, but she received no an swer. Another sound froze her rigidly in her tracks, her hand poised in midair. the noise of a car racing near the house! Without hesitation, Janet hastily fled from he room, stumbled down the hall, found the stairs and in a moment was on the second floor, panting breathlessly.

She slid through the panel to her room, and stood blinking at the feeble glow of the candle in the middle of the floor. The engine noise had stopped now Still blinded by the light, she sat, exhausted, on the cot. Four people five, perhaps six in this house! Herself, Miss Boisevain, Nita, ths one in the tower, the driver of the car and Blair Rodman. Six! Two of them she had never seen. Dragging her cot over in front of the closet door, she sat, hunched despondently on the edge.

closet door opened into the room, so if anyone attempted to enter during the night, she would have to be awakened first! Why had she run away from the tower door? Fear, she decided, of being caught not by Nita or Miss Boisevain, but by this mysterious person this person she had never seen the one Rajah obeyed. Hardly had she thought of the dog than she heard him leaping, heavy and lithe, up the stairs. Then silence. He probably had lain down at her door to watch her for the night! Useless to try to get out of the room again, with Rajah there she would have to wait for morning before she searched for Blair Rodman. Wearily, she undressed and soon was under the coarse blanket.

But she could not sleep. The mad playing had started again on the living room piano It could not be Miss Boisevain on BEAUTY now, 'cause I lost thirty-three pounds. And I do look better! Just ask the folk. They're so convinced of the soundness of your advice that my kid sister is going to start the gaining weight course in your booklet right away. I was wondering, however, If it would help her any to also take cod liver oil each day.

Do you think it would? LINDA." I do Indeed think that It would help your sister to gain weight if she took cod liver oil each day. Cod Jiver oil, you know, is one of the most important food substances that we possess. It is very rich in vitamins, and is oi great value in the diet. The consumption of this oil increases the vitality of the body, builds up resistance to disease, and improves the quality of the blood. The best time to take it is after meals.

If your sister does not like the taste of the pure, unadulterated oil, she can take it in a bit of orange or lemon juice. Figure.

Especially for the human race, which would be decimated if our mothers were not congenital Pollyannas. For it is only because hope springs eternal in the maternal breast that makes our mothers think that most of us are worth the trouble of rearing. Otherwise we would share the fafe of the runty puppies in the litter.

But much as we admire this sanguine spirit in mothers, it has its defects that lead to many of the bitterest tragedies in life. Because mothers will not, or possibly cannot, lock at their children clear-eyed and see them as they are, prevents them from giving their children the help that might have saved them. YOUR FALL CLOTHES and RUGS Physicians will tell you that there are many physical defects that may be corrected in a child while it is very young, that even the feeble-minded can be greatly helped by proper treatment if taken in time, but mothers will let the golden opportunity slip by because they cannot bear to admit to themselves that Johnny is not normal, or that Susie is not bright. They say that Johnny is slow In learning to walk and Susie backward in talking. But it is nothing to worry over.

They will be all right when they grow up. So nothing is done to help the poor afflicted child. And another victim is added to the human scrap pile. The optimism of mothers finds its most general expression, however, in the belief of thousands of women that It is entirely unnecessary to teach children morals or good manners when thev are young because, when they need to possess these virtues and charms, they will somehow be mysteriously supplied to them. Of course, nothing of the kind happens, as they see illustrated about them every day of their lives, but that doesn't shake any mother's faith in her children being the exception to the general rule.

THIS SAFE SURE WAY So mother lets her children grow up into boors and ruffians. She lets Johnny come into the room full of ladies without taking off his cap or speaking to them. She lets Tommy grunt when a polite inquiry is made of him. She lets Sammy hold his fork and use it as if it were a spade, and Mary gargle her soup. She lets Mabel use bad grammar, Anna snarl over the telephone, Susan be rude to older people, fully expecting that the little savages she has reared will be elegant, polished men and women of the world, with the ingratiating and charming manners that are so attractive and that carry the individual farther than anything else in the world.

You've put a lot of money in your rugs you've spent time, too, in picking them out so they'd match the color scheme of the walls and furniture in your rooms. They're really investments in home comfort and livability. You can't afford then, to take chances with just ANY-rug cleaner, who may or may not restore them to new life, new color, new softness, and the many years of service still in them. That is why we have so many sword-swallowers at whose table manners we jeer. Why so many young men have to take courses in salesmanship in order to learn to sell themselves to the general public.

Why there are so many rude, tactless girls who are awkward and ill at ease in society, who never know what to say and who, as the Irishman says, when they open their mouths, always put their feet in them. For mother's hope that her hoodlums will turn into ladies and gentlemen never comes true. Strangest of all the mother optimum that makes a woman believe that she can spend twenty years in teaching a child to be one thing and then it will suddenly turn about and be the exact opposite. All of us know mothers who, from the very minute their children are born, begin cultivating selfishness in them and impressing on the youthful minds the idea that mother is no-account, a slave to do their bidding, and that she doesn't even expect to be treated with respect or consideration. Mother never goes anywhere.

She is chained to her cook stove and sewing machine making goodies and pretty clothes for the children. Mother is a human ragbag, all the fine clothes are for the children. Mother walks while the children joyride in the automobile. Phone Phone FRENCH STEAM DYE 415-25 East Main Street Mother takes any kind of back talk from even the baby. She lets the older children deride her judgment and scoff at her opinions.

Then when they treat her as she has taught them to treat her it breaks her heart. She had fondly believed that when they were grown they would be unslfish and tender and considerate to her. And if that isn't the final expression of optimism, what is? DOROTHY DIX. Copyright, 1935. 1 i.
