ITlfi.' tenant O'Leary to face Sayler's desk in the corner of the room. A divan and several occasional Chairs had also been lined up, and the other guests sat there now in glow- ering silence. Winslow Mardell still wore the emblazoned sports costume he had on when the officers accosted hint in his hotel.earlier in the day. His Iips were twisted into a satirical smile. George Barbour leaned quietly back on one end of the divan and displayed his discom- fort only by nervously flicking at his cigar. At the opposite end of the divan sat Hazel Leighton, grimly reticent, smoking irritably and glancing an- tagonistically at the complacent sergeant from time to time. Carroll was relieved when O'- Leary finally appeared. Following the lieutenant were two uniformed officers, and between then[ walked the sullen Riggs, chauffeur for the late Martin Sayler. Class In Criminology Those in the study fixed their attention on Riggs, who refused to look up from the floor. O'Leary directed the officers to seat Riggs in a chair on the north side of the roost. Both policemen stood nearby. O'Leary went to the door- way to speak to Willows, the but- ler, and in a few minutes, half a dozen servants trooped into the room. Diffidently, they looked at the guests and then seated them- selves in a row behind the others. Slowly, O'Leary walked to the desk and sat down in Sayler's swivel chair. He turned on the desk lamp and leaned both elbows on top of the desk. "If this is supposed to be a night class in criminology, I'd just as soon skip it," Mardell. ,said. Barbour pulled out his breast - pocket handkerchief and unfurled it with great ceremony. He began wiping a pair of steel -rimmed glass- es he took from a case. "Can't vee get this over with?" he asked, an- noyed. "We've all been subjected to an extremely unpleasant ordeal. Why prolong .it?" He looked at Riggs. "I should think you could conclude this case. Lietttenant, without further assistance." "You're a lawyers'," O'Leary said. "You can appreciate' that we need evidence." "Suppose you begin. Lieuten- ant," Dale suggested. He leaned over and whispered something in - Rhoda's ear. A Few More Gaps "All right:," O'Leary said, and he leaned back in his chair and took a pencil from his pocket and • twirled it between bis `fingers, get this over with as quickly as l can. Please be patient. Since last night, a number of things have oc- curred, and I think I've found a few answers to some things- I didn't know yesterday. "1 wanted you ads to be here tonight partly because there are a few more gaps I want to fill in, and there are a :few more ques- tions," Ile looked at Rhoda, "Miss Waters, you were about to leave . town this afternoon to meet Mr. .Appleby later in New York and he married. That isn't true, is it?" Rhoda, jumped to her feet. "What do you_mean—?" "1 mean you were getting out because you were afraid --afraid of what might Happen if you stayed. Isn't that right?" All the color drained from Rho- da'a cheeks and her fists were tightly drawn. Dale had clasped her by the 4ltoultleos and was frown- ing, "That isn't i1'ue," she se't'ettsn- ed, "You. know that isn't. true. 1 have nothing to fear. Not. from you or anybody." O'Leary sighed.

She takes her veil to her hairdresser at least a week before the wedding• and lets him [help her plan a coiffuire that will be flattering when half -covered by a veil. Then she wears hen hair the new way until time to have it set again just before the important day. This system. gives the bride a chance to get used to the coiffure and elim- inates any possibility of her having to fuss with it or be conscious of it during the wedding or the re- ception afterward.

With a tiny Gibson Girl type of flower bat, an ripswept coiffure with a pompadour is an idea. Long bobs lend themselves be- comingly to braided bandeaux of flowers --downward sloping at the 'back, of course, and to tiny calots of seed pearls or flowers or lace set far back on the head. Slim Vocabulary . Handicaps Girls Stenographers Are Urged to Increase Knowledge Contrary to the popular belief about the dexterity of the female tongue, tite modern career girl may find that she is handicapped by an insufficient vocabulary. "We can teach girls to make out- lines of words—shorthand—but it doesn't do any good if she hasn't sufficient knowledge of the words she takes down to do a sensible job of transe'ribing," declares Dr. Margaret Prank, Chicago, consult- ing psychologist. • Psychologists hre found two predominant chases for most ex- isting "boss -steno" conflicts: 1—The stenographer - doesn't have an adequate vocabulary. 2—Her cultural level m -ay be too -high es- too low for her business associates. ashlon Flashes White pique is right at the top of sununer heedwea ' success, * •* Mannish play shoes are worn with slacks. * * v New York women are wearing sheer black, dark brown and dark grey stockings.

Too Popular For Her Own Good Four-year-old Betsy Earle of Readsboro, Vt., is ao popular with the townsfolk that her parents have published the following an- nouncement in the town's column in the North Adapts, Mass., Tran- script: "Betsy Earle's parents wish to announce that she is suffering from a severe case of worms and they urgently urge that, in the interest • of her continued good health, the townspeople Hinton- tinue the practice of feeding her candy." This isn't the first time Mr. and Mr°s. Earle have tried to meet the problem. Once they bung a sign around her neck, reading "Don't feed me;", That didn't work because, sir Betsy explained: "It Wouldn't be polite to refuse, would it2" L 630 wunsib; Table Talks By SADIE 13.
