as A eats Take Good Care Of Your Shoes They Should Always Be Kept on Trees--Pay Speclal At tention to New Footgear We should all learn to take extra good care of our shoes, First, new shoes. Patent lea- 4there are less likely to crack if they are rubbed with a ittle pe- troleum jelly before this first wearing, If possible, they should stand for some days for the grease to work well in and make the leather pliable. In cold weather warm these soles slight. ly before putting them on, If they are put away for any length of time repeat the lubricating treatment before storing then. . Remove mud from patent lea- ther before it dries or it may scratch the surface when remov- ed. KEPT ON TREES Shoes of all kinds should al- ways be kept on trees to preser. ve them from sagging and wrink- les; but in summer or after dane. ing, when the shoes are taken off hot feet, let them air a little before putting in the trees, If footwear has got wet, stuff it with tissug¢ paper or crumbled newspaper to absorb the damp and ~keep the shape while drying. Lay the shoes on their sides (not on their soles or uppers) and dry slowly in a warm (not.hot) place. Drying quickly with too much heat not only cracks the uppers but soles, when damp, are very easily burnt and ruined. WIPE OFF DAMP MUD Never let mud dry on leather and then brush or scrape it off, Many shoes' are spoilt this way. Instead, wipe off the mud when damp with an old rag, or if it has already dried on, use-a_wet (but not dripping) cloth to soften and remove the mud. Then let the shoes dry completely before polishing.

"yes "But the man was never identi fied. Ho was burned so horribly." "I know it was Hugh!" Larry tried to make his voice calm. It wasn't easy, talking to her like this. His hands dropped from her shoulders. "When I from Hugh, I came down to look for him. I've. been all over the west, searching for him," Larry lied, "I heard about this-accident, this unidentified man, 1 took a c¢hance it might be Hugh. 1 was right. A dentist's examination con- firmed it." "I'm torry, Larry, terribly sory. The touch of her hand on his arm was comforting, her sympathy was sincere. She sat down again, gently "Fell me more about him, Larry." He rolled a tigaret, tried to keep his eyes from her. : That Monnfe knew more about this accident than she was telling, he was sure. But how could he find out, without arousing her sus- piclons. Perhaps she might be in- volved--No, Monnie would never be mixed up in a crooked deal. But if she loved Bentley. .. . A woman wlll do almost anything for the man she loves, 'The Accident On the Curve What was Bentley's role? Hat- ing Bentley as he did, it was easy for Larry to accuse him of some part In Hugh's death. Bentley was on friendly terms with a bank rob- ber--this Bill was working at the Circle-Cross. A match flared in the darkness. Monnie's hand was touching his + own. Larry liked being near to her. He was tempted to put hls arm around. her, pull her close, kiss those inviting lips, Monnie's voice brought him back to the pre- sent. . "This brother of yours, Larry--" "Hugh was a swell guy," Larry began, "Married, lived down-state, He was--he was In the insurance business. Burglary Insurance. Trav. eled a lot. But he wrote me reg- ularly, and wrote to Betly, his wife, every day. 5 "When Betty didn't hear from him for a week, sho wired me, I came down and we've been looking for him ever since. That was more than five months ago." He hoped Monnle wouldn't ask why, as a newspaperman, he couldn't have checked accident records pooner.

You know where you leave the eoncrete to turn into the Hayhook. . . . If you went straight on, you'd dip down Into the danyon and then climb a long hill to go by Bentley's. The curve is halfway up the hill. It's a sharp turn, but it's well marked and not dangerous unless you try to make it too fast. Going up, you have the inside, The canyon floor is about 300 feet below the curve and it's almost a sheer drop." "f Couldn't Stop" Larry could feel her grow tense as she forced herself to go on. "On the night of the accident, Mike called me. It was late but he said he'd just come back {rom Chicago, flown down with some friends and they wanted to meet me. He'd brought me some pres- ents, too, and some things I'd asked him to get for me. He couldn't leave his guests, he said, "I was on the way inside of halt an hour. I always drive fast and I went up the hill doing about 50 or 60. Then at the curve--" She paused "briefly, got a new grip on her emotions, then went on. "I must have been about 200 yards from the curve when this car came down the hill, I couldn't stop. The driver apparen{ly~gnade no effort to turn, when he saw my lights, His car crashed through the barricade, plunged over the «cliff and rolled down into the can- yon. : "I stopped as soon as I could, "I stopped as soon as L could, pulled off the road a little and ran back to where the car had dis appeared. Far down in the canyon, I could see flames shooting up from the wreckage of the car, Then I heard a shot. "I stood there, paralyzed, and suddenly, Mike was beside me, To- gother we scrambled and slid down to the car, tried to pull the dead man from the burning wreck. Mike finally succeeded, got burned him. self, "Pretty soon there were other people around and at last two highway patrolmen arrived. Mike. talked to them for a bit, then help- ed me climb back up to the road. He brought me home." "They Made Me Say It" "But that's not the story you told at the Inquest," Larry broke in. "You testified that the car went over the edge before you reached the turn--" "Mike made me say that, Mik® and. Daddy," Monnie admitted. "After that accident at school, and the others I had been In; Mike sald the coroner would never belleve 1 hadn't forced the man off the road.

And Pete Barnes, too. Won't you try to believe me Larry?" Looking at her, Larry knew she was telling the truth, Hugh's death had been no fault of hers, Hugh probably saw the lights of her car, speeding toward him, took the curve rather than crash Into her head-oy, Hugh was like that, Larry would have done the same thing, had he been in Hugh's place, "I believe you, Monnle," he sald. =" don't blame you.' "My Brother Never Drank" He paused a minute, puzzling over an unanswered question. "How did Bentley get there so fast?" he asked, : Monnie had an answer for that. "Mike said he went outside to walt for me, right after he called. He saw this car go racing down the highway, swinging from side to side, as if the driver was drunk. Mike was afraid there would be a wreck if we met, was terrified to think what might happen to me it 'we met en Dead Man's Curve, sO he hurried out to stop me." "Bentley said Hugh drove like he was drunk?" Larry demanded. "Hugh was drunk, Larry. The autopsy showed he had been drink- ing, and a broken whiskey bottle was found in his, car." "But. Monnie,"" Larry counter- ed, "My brother never drank liquor in his lite."

Mature Women Better Dressed Than They Used to be; Now Can Wear All Colors and Styles; Smart Hats Noted Maturity has kicked over the fashion traces. No more does the woman with 'college-age children think she must wear nothing but dresses with drap- ed bosoms, or deep V-necklines dis- creetly edged in white, If her figure is reasonably good, the mature woman can wear the high round neckilnes of youth, and the sharp colors she used to avoid as too gay for her age. IF FIGURE GOOD Good shops rout middle-aged dowdiness with entire departments cevoted to dressing size 16 and up. An example of spanking smart: "ness for the forty-ish woman is a two-plece dress made of very sheer black wool, with the high neck- line and bodice embroidered in jet. The hat is ageless, gay. Not, for once, an off-thefacer, it's topped with a huge red rose. A costume to wear with satisfaction to teas, bridge parties, club meetings.
