Lillian Montagne, in the current is. - sue of "Your Homo Mugazine," gives sonic useful advice on the problem of decorating a girl's room, "In planning a girl's room," she. writes, "avoid the excitement of vivid red and the depressing effect of a pre- ponderance of purple, ,dull gray, brown or black. There is a quality in young girlhood which responds to the delicate pastel coloring of spring. The faraway, misty blue of the sky, the tender green of the opening leaves, the pale yellow of the early crocus, the faintly roseate tint of the arbutus. the pinkish lavender of the - lilac—any of these shades. used either singly or in combination to decorate the room of a jeunne fine will awaken in her a quick response to the grace and beauty whicli they express. Painted walls are particularly desirable for bedrooms, because not only are they more sanitary but they may be easily and artistically tinted to harmonize with any color scheme you may se- lect. When the walls are finished, Paint or enamel the trim the same color, or white if you prefer it, and paint or varnish the floor according to the wood. A floor treated this way is easy to care for and needs only one or two email rugs. "Where there is plenty of sunshine," continues the writer, "the cool quiet, but happy shades of green, lilac and blue are good background colors.

And he had me, Not merely literally, but a gun train- ed upon me, but figuratively, he had ine. The subterranean activities of such a man as Leedom wer.+, so well known to the police that fear of ex- posure by Thomassen would not deter the pawnbroker from delivering him up. It was by sometimes aiding the police that Leedon obtained a certain immunity. , But my case was different. I could make no terms. And 'I was quite sure that if .I refused Thomas- sen,*ho would, when captured, betray me out of that sheer hatred for the world, which made him the beast he was. A man, then, whom I would have considered it a pleasurable duty to 1411, had me at his 'mercy. And if I chose to perform that pleasurable duty, the action meant the end of my security. For even though I pretend- ed that I had killed Thomassen while he was burglarizing my apartment, the police would inevitably ask me certain questions which I would not care to answer. "A sensible man knows when he's licked," said Thomassen. "You look sensible." "You expect me to hide you here while I'm waiting for -Leedon to raise the money?" I demanded. The murderer shook his head. "Pm taking no chance like that. You'd be on the level. You'd have to be. But I'm going to get out of town tonight. Leedon'isn't the only man that buys stolen goods. I want half of the jew- els themselves. Get out the box." "Del you think I keep them here?" I asked. "They're in a safe-deposit box downtown." - "Go get them," he ordered. "I'll be waiting right here." And now sheer wrath at his inso- lence, combined with horrorat his crime, made ane forgetful of his threat of exposure—or if not forgetful, care- less. But Thomassen was not merely intelligent; he was shrewd. The hand that was buried in his jacket pocket was withdrawn with a movement so speedy that it put to shame my own gift of legerdemain. "No, you won't," he jeered. "Neither now nor later! You're a sensible man, Mr. Ainsley, or whatever you call yourself, as I said a minute ago. You won't step into a bullet when you haven't a chance. And I know what's going on in that brain of yours. You're figuring that you'll take me off my guard, But I know a gentleman when I see one. And I reckon you know a killer when you see one. You're a gentleman; I'm a killer, You give me your word of honor that you won't try to bump me off yotirself, that you' Won't slug me or drug me or anything like that. I don't ask you to promise not to give me away to anyone. You'd have to give yourself away. ,t just Want the promise I've asked," `` "And if I don't give it?; I aeked. "I'm a killer," he replied ' "I tan only go to' the chair once. You give me your word within ten seconds, or I'll kill you." He meant it; there was not the slightest doubt in nay mind as to that. mita Hifi Fi'Y" r -.� eYs de , t19'24,' NEA SeArlce Inc. -..s s40 ' U ° Crop INNEVIE BEGIN HERE TODAY John Ainsley, a man of •education and breeding, becomes a Master crook —preying upon other thieves.

An especially lovely color scheme would be .apricot and delphinium blue, the former in a very soft shade being used for the walls, and the latter to enamel the woodwork and furniture. If a large rug is used, it should be a slightly deeper blue than the furni- ture. It small rag rugs—always ap- propriate for a bedroom—are used, they may combine apricot, blue, or- chid, and black in subdued colors. This color scheme bas a charm and personality well suited. to radiant youth." Color Cautions 1. No one person can wear all colors successfully. 2. The color and texture of ttho shin determines the color most suit- able for clothing. A person with an olive brunette skin, for example, can wear deep creams, bronze greens, deep dark red, even purple in some tones. If the skin is not flnein tex- ture these colors may still be worn, but they must be subdued and soften- ed, "grayed down" in other words, so that they do not contrast too strongly with the skin. A skin that is more pink than yellow can wear pastel colorings best of all. Such skins usu- ally have blue, hazel, or very clear brown eyes. They may have blond, hazel, white or black hair. A sallow skin can wear dark browns and black perhaps abetter than any p other color. 3. Subdued or grayed colors are most becoming to large figures. 4. Colors should be chosen to bring out the best features of the individual either the skin, the hair, or the eyes. If the skim is fine, you may wear satin, or velvet, or a non -transparent materi- al with a sheen, If the texture of your skin is coarse, georgette, dull crepe, or crepe Elizabeth would be more be- coming. 5. Gayer colors may be worn more successfully by young girls, but the in- tense or pure colors should be avoid- ed since they are becoming to very few. 0. Bright colors, if carefully chosen, are quite suitable for sport clothes and evening gowns. 7. Study carefully your own color- ing and choose those most suitable for your own type, age, and position.

For, de- manding to be shown a bed, he hurled himself upon it, and was sound asleep in a moment, leaving me alone with my thoughts. They were not pleasant thoughts. Aside from the shattering of nay dreams of rehabilitation, there was my vast self-contempt at becoming a confederate in the'murder of Thomas- sen's victim. Yet I had given my word, and the Ainsleys do not break their word. And then, because I could not sleep, and because I could think only of the. presence o£ the beast whole 1 shelter- ed, I began to, examine the situation, to study the promise which I had made. I had said that I would bring the jewels here in the, morning and divide them with my unwelcome guest. I had said that I would not try to kill Thomassen, or to strike him or drug anything him or an hin like that. I had not promised that I would not betray hint to the police He was so confident that I would not dare do that thing, that he. had not exacted any promise. I reddened as I thought of this. Ile believed me to be so lost to decency that I would aid a filthy murderer to cheat justice'rather than risk nay own precious diberty. Well, I would surprise him. I would slip outside, telephone the police and then—what? Thomassen captured, would describe are in detail; he would betray my hcquaintance with Leedon. That worthy, professing of course that he did not know I was a thief, would give an even closer description of me. I would be a hunted fugitive, instead of a gentleman who plied his rreptitious trade' without suspicion. (To be continued.)

I have always wanted to be on friendly terms with a hive of bees, but somehow I have missed the magic words, or the right attitude of ap eroaeh, for the angry bees have told me in plain and annoyed buzain tbat they didn't want to know me. I hive never kept bees in a hive, but I am keeping a flock in the roof 06 my house, where they have taken possession .of.a tiny opet>,iiig and are industriously ' malting honey in be- tween the walls, and coning into my north room to put honey and wax 031 the windows and woodwork, and die by the hundreds, unable to find the way back home. I have offered them a nice clean hive, offered them to the first bee lover who might know how to persuade them to please go away, with no tak- ers... Of course, I can gas them, but I hate to kill such industrious and useful members of the community. Maybe they will go off with some young queen. I'd be glad to give her a wedding present of a hive or a field of sweet clover or buckwheat. And now we come to the ants—or, rather, they come to us! They come in battalions, regiments, companies, brigades; big ants, little ones, red ones, red and black ones, black ones —one and all bent on destruction. In the woode are the mound build- ers, big red and black fellows, that excavate the earth and pile it up in heaps, grain by grain. Down below are thousands of them, mining. I see them come out, each with a grain of sand in its -mandibles, to drop somewhere away from the entrances. Along the walks are the black ants sawing wood, There is a pile of saw- dust alongside, apd up in a beam of the pergola they are industriously digging in. Every morning I find ti pile of sawdust on the porch floor, sometimes two or three inches deep, and I have watched a worker come to a small hole in the beam and drop 1[Vis THE BIFOCAL YOU HAVE HOPED F'011 Those who wear double vision glasses will fully appreciate the ,advantages of being able to see, above, below, and all around the reading field.
