N HARDY'S �.�TE SECRET UIf Adapted from the Metro -Golf 'yn-L'dayer' Picture by i ALS EY R.AINES en Land, He worked as •a sort ot night watchman and oar wasbee in the Dugan garage, and his two children, Harry and Kathryn, were members of the graduating class. Andy admitted then he had nevem "seen much of them socially." "Were just going to make a stop at the Lands' house," said Judge Hardy reflectively. "There are all kinds of `bad checks', and his contribution to the class was for more than he earns in a week." GHAPa-ER ONE .As Judge Hardy watched the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Mordant, the couple who had just stood be- fore him airing their domestic in- felicity, he couldn't help thinking of Andy. Sitting back in reverie. lie saw Andy as a tow -headed youngster trudging to school for the first day . . . a nervous boy vaulting that hurdle, his first date . and now a slightly older youth preparing for high school gradua- tion. Unlike the seventeen-year old Mordant boy, Andy had always had a father and mother standing sol- idly back of him, and standing to- gether. Besides, he had been pretty well•behaved lately . . . no fights no automobile damages . . no question marks opposite be- havior on his report card. Yes, he was really becoming quite a settled • down sort of lad, free from any kind of serapes. Lost in this pleasingly novel if vaguely disturbing conception of a new Andy, the Judge failed at first to hear George Benedict's word of greeting. Then he was puzzled by the awkward expression ou .the banker's face. "What can I do about a bad check for twa hundred and eighty dollars?" asked Mr. Benedict. The Judge waved his hand light. ly. "Swear out a warrant for the culprit's arrest and we'll handle the rest!". he declared. iiir. Benedict gulped a bit. "But this check is signed by your son Andrew'." he annouced. The Judge gulped still more, and rubbed his eyes. "Yeah. Dead. it's vie," came a small voice from the opposite door- way. "I'm the culprit'." ' "Andrew!" cried. Judge Hardy, aghast. "A bad check? Where ou earth did you ever get two hundred and eighty dollars?" "But I haven't got it!" retuned Andy. "The money belongs to some- . body else." "Yeah, the high school graduat- ing class." said Andy. Part of the mist ascended from the Judge's eyes. "Oh, the class," he ruminated. "You'l,'e the class treasurer?" Andy's chagrin was transformed to mild indignation. "That's a fine question to ask me," he cried, "wheal I told you a hundred times I'm the class president." Judge Hardy turned to Mr. Bene- dict. "How much is the - check short?" he asked. "Forr'teen dollars;" answered the banker. There was a note in his. voice that seemed to say: "I - wouldn't - have - brought - this - up - but • you - know - we've - got - to • set • an • example - to - our • young • people." "Charge it to my account," said the Judge. "I don't want to see lay son go to the penitentiary until after he graduates from high school." When Mr, Benedict had left, and the Judge stopped at the high school business offices with Aptly, and examination of the latter's own special system of Bookkeeping dis- closed a half dozen possible inocles of error. A Private Secretary One other fact of special igiter- est to the Judge came to light. It seemed that one of the largest con- tributions to the class year fund had come from a mall named Stev • On the way over Judge hardy questioned his son as to whether the Land children had been given any part in the gradr'ation cere- monies. "Dad, I don't even see much of Kathryn or Ilarry in school!" said Andy evasively. "She's taking a commercial course, shorthand and bookkeeping--" "Fine!" interrupted the Judge. "She'd be just the person to help you do a little bookkeeping." Andy paled. "A girl to help me?" he asked. "You heard me," rejoined his father. "As for Harry Land, you see that he has a part of the grad- uation work." With this parental decree hang- ing over him, Andy entered the three-room cottage at the far end of town. Kathryn, a girl with a sweet voice and an engaging, in- telligent face, had been singing as they came up the steps. Kathryn concealed any surprise she may have felt at the visit, hat Ilarry, whose manner indicated a slight resentfulness at his position, looked at the two in open chal- lenge. When Judge Hardy follow- ed Kathryn out to the back, where Mr. Land was.. giving a table a fresh coat of paint, Harry turn- ed to Andy. "Look here," he exclaimed. "you don't have to bring your father snooping around our house—" Andrew drew hinesele up. "He's not snooping," he said with dig- nity. "And I'd appreciate it if you'd consider me as president of the graduating class instead of a hu- man being." "What's the class got to do with tyle?" asked Harry. Andy shifted uncomfortably. "That's just it," be said. "I want- ed to ask you and Kathryn to help with some things. I thought she could do some secretarial work and you could be chairman of the committee to decorate the auditor- ium." Fall To Feature A Tapering Line Narrow Hip Styles Wili Ac- centuate Wide Shoulder Ef- fect in Autumn 1941 Women's Outfits Previews of styles for fall anb. winter, 1941-42, show grian deter- =ination on the part of designers to ttanSform woolen into big- ,ohes.ted creatures with narrow tap- ering hips. Maybe it's as well they let us in on their plans so early, before •. we've discovered that we can't wear last summer's bathing suit. It'll give us time to do something —either to whittle down hips, or to work up a loud protest. WIDENED AT THE TOP The big -chested, wide -at -the -top effect will be achieved in several ways. The dolman sleeves that were often shown and seldom pur- chased in the early spring will be with, us iu abundance next fall. Some designers use for the same, purpose deep -cut armholes, fullness attached to drop -shouldered yokes, and on coats, great big shawl col- lars, vintage 1918. Then after they've widened you at the top, they mean to narrow the rest of you. This is fairly easy with evening skirts, which taper clown to the ankle and allow for a split to the knee. But with day dresses, designers resort to pep - lungs, tunics, tiers and draperies— all devices to provide hip -room, while still maintaining the tapering effect. SOME EXCEPTIONS There'll be two exceptions to the tapering rule—formal evening weal - and college girl clothes. Riding In The Rain Harry nodded. "I might have known," he said. "That's the tough- est job in the whole set-up. De- corating that barn of a place with about four dollars. Well, I'll fool you. This graduation is important to me too, and I want my name on it somewhere. I'll do it." Judge Hardy found Steven Land a warm, whole -hearted person who had once been proprietor of an American tourist agency in Eur- ope, and who spoke eine languag- es. Feeling increasingly surprised and disturbed, as he chatted with him, that such a man should have to waste his talents in such a men- ial position, the Judge invited Land to accompany hien down to his of- fice. They dropped the youngsters at the schoolhorse, and were pro- ceeding along when a few murky clouds overhead suddenly material- ized into a pelting June shower. "Mr, Laud, it's raining!" cried the Judge. "Would you mind put- ting up the top?" "There isn't any top," replied Land, after a quick look. The Judge pursed his lips. "1 wonder what Andrew does when it rains," he reflected. "Something like this, 1 guess," said Land, producing an ancient strip' of carpet from the rumble seat and spreading it across his and the Judge's shoulders, The protection was very inade- quate against the oblique, driving "LUXURIOUS RUSTICITY" Here at this fatuous i.og Chalet, nestled in a `galley of tine covered lnomltains, 'you sal► splen$ a memorable holiday in an atmosphere of ",l,ttxturions Itnstleityi".

Salad Chat Salads always grace any menu firstly from the aspect of an AAP- petiser and secondly, what better lends itself for the hostess to demonstrate her decorative abil- ity? bil- i Even p the simplest salad can be thrilling — for greens — nothing but greens simply and cleverly dressed can have a very fine ap- peal, Always have your lettuce, cress celery and radishes as crisp as your best starched pinafore and as cold as the refrigerator can make them. With this basic ad- vice you should be able to give every salad a character and every time you make them they can be different. The Seasoning The real art of salad making comes in the seasoning. Always test carefully, when assembling your salad—and touch up your flavors according to your own in- dividual tastes — Remember a salad dressing and seasonings either ruins your salad or gives it the flavor, which places you in the honor roll of salad makers —Do not make your salad dres- sing haphazardly. Choose a salad dressing, which from testing sat- isfies you as the best you ever tasted. Then onion has an in- comparable place as flavoring and its twin sisters the leek and as for garlic, when a salad master rubs the salad bowl with a cut garlic clove — it adds a touch nothing else can do. Salads are no longer regarded as "extras"—but take the place :.of honor in many a luncheon, supper or refreshment plan. If they Bold the necessary qualifi- cations for such a role they must include tissue -building material. Meat, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs and nuts are of this variety, but fruit and vegetables require .,something .to "build them up."

Economy Tips Try Sun aths For The B by Rays Paint the Cheeks and Make Bodies Husky Nothing tones the muscles, reddens the cheeks and lips, hard- ens young bones and makes for radiant well-being like fresh air and sunshine. This was the advice given by Miss Marjorie K. Milli., gan in a recent talk on Sun Baths for baby given under the auspices of the Child Welfare Association of Montreal. Miss Milligan said that sunshine was necessary for the normal growth of all children, particular- ly for the prevention of rickets. a disease of the bones. If the child is placed in front of a win- dow, the window must, however, be open, for the sun rays which paint the cheeks and make bodies husky do not penetrate ordinary window glass. BEST TIME OF DAY The best time for sunbaths is between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. ex- cept on- very hot days when the sun baths should be given before 10 or after 3 p.m.' The object is a gradual tanning and a very slight reddening of the skin each day will lead to tanning. A heavy tan is not in itself of great value; in fact, if it is too heavy it re- tards the absorption of the rays. Children of fair complexion burn more readily than those of darker skin and should be more carefully exposed to the sun. If baby burns easily give him his sun bath in the shade of the house, as anything stronger than skyline may be too much for him at firc4 Always place baby with his feet pointing away from the sun, and see that he is protected from the wind. SHOULD BE GRADUAL ...PROCESS Starting an exposure •oz -. four minutes, two minutes front 'and two back, Miss Milligan said the time should be lengthened each day until the child is ex- posed xposed 30 minutes back and 30 minutes front. First the baby's arms should be bared to the sun, then after two or three days the legs, later the chest and back. It should take 3 weeks before the whole body is given a sun bath.
