At least, if one didn't find it simple, one simply stepped cut of its absurd com- plexities. For instance, that girl who sat ;his across the narrow room from pie would be indubitably better off if she joined me on my stroll to the dock than if she remained with the gross beast who was her dinner companion.: For she patently showed that he.dis- gusted her. Pretty, extremely so, with black hair and blue eyes and, I guess- ed from :what appeared above the table, a charming figure, she belonged to youth, not to bloated age. And the fact that her eyes were hard and' mercenary made no difference. They were so merely because advantages h d b denied her I could discern.

The display of money which he had made was as- sert -ince that he was an extremely successful criminal, probably one of those ."super -criminals" created by the police to cover up their own incom- petence. I laughed at the idea This man was nothing but the most mediocre sort of person. Beyond a vicious cun- ning, he possessed no mentality at all. The reason for his success lay in the fact that the men opposed to him, the police, were also mediocrities.

Graduated policemen were the detectives who protected society against the schemes of such as• my fur -collared friend:.

The next time you are sick try it. "Instead of propping a convalescent person up in bed by piling pillows be- hind him," this writer says, "try the use of a stout strip of canvas hung from the head of the bed and spread out beneath the patient. "The principle is that of the com- mon lounging chair, canvas -seated. It gives support to the weak back and is held in place by' the patient's 'own body. If the bead of the bed. be of the iron -rail variety the strip ot -cloth may be simply thrown, over this rail and' brought down double, before the sick person is lifted upon it. "]t may be used by -a well person who likes to sit up in bed for a bit of late reading before dropping off to sheep. In all cases it is much• more. comfortable and hygenic than a pile of pillows that slip or crumple up be - A FROCK OF SMART SIMPLICITY Unusually smart is the chic long - waisted frock pictured here.
