The Goose Woman by REX BEACH Providing An Adequate Diet Family Should Get Necessary Vitamins Each and Every Day An adequate, nourishing, and daily diet for family needs should include these items: 1 pint of milk (a child needs V/2 pints.) 6 full slices of bread. 1 egg. 1 potato. 2 tablespoons of an unrefined cereal. 4 tablespoons butter. 1 tablespoonful brown sugar. These essentials give you calci- um, phosphorus and. iron with vita- mins A, B, D and G. In addition you need, unless on «pedal diet, three ounces of meat or fish to provide protein and Vita- min E, four dunces of green vege- tables, for mineral salts and bulk, and three ounces of fresh fruit to give you Vitamin C. Water Is Essential If your medical man has pre- scribed more of any one of these vitamins or mineral salts, increase the quantity of that food or bever- age and cut down on bulk. For additional iron, especially in anaemia, increase the daily quanti- ties of liver, kidney, oysters and dried peas, spinach, prunes and dried apricots. A sluggish action of the thyroid gland is due often to lack of iodine in the system. Fish and shellfish are excellent sources of iodine. Water is, of course, one of those regulation items essential to proper digestion and body temperature. The more bodily energy used up, the more sugar, starches and fats are necessary. Duchess Heads World’s List Of Best Dressers Dressmakers Pick 10 for 1938 Including Indian Princess and Famous Golfer’s Wife PARISâ€"The Duchess of Windsor tops the list of the ten 'best-dressed women of 1938 selected by dress- makers here. Four continents, seven countries, are covered in this poll of elegance. Contrasts are striking. There is Princess Karani of Kapurthala, the wife of the son of one of the rich potentates of India. There is Ma- demoiselle Eve Curie, daughter of the woman who struggled through poverty to the goal of one of the world’s greatest discoveriesâ€"radi- um. The notion that youth and clothes sophistication are things apart is rudely shattered in this poll, too. The Ten Leaders Here are the selections of the Paris experts: The Duchess of Windsor, American-born; The Du- chess of Leeds, Serbian wife c#f British Peer; Mme. An tenor Pati- no, Spanish wife of Bolivian Minis- ter to London; Princess Karam of Kapurthala, wife of an Indian no- ble; Mme. Pedro Eyzaguire, French wife of a member of the Chilean legation to Paris; Mme. Lopez- Wellshaw, Chilian, living in Paris; Mrs. Charles Sweeney, wife of the English golfer; Mrs. Armstrong Taylor, American, the former Au- drey (Chico) Kilvert; Mile. Eve Curie, daughter of the discoverers of radium’; Lady Daphne Straight, daughter of Earl and Countess of Winchelsea. Variety of Tastes The Duchess of Windsor wears suave dark clothes and a variety of jewels of unusual design. Re- cently she has been wearing two very large, jewelled arabesque clips which virtually cover the lapels of her coat or jacket. Dignified Dunking Doughnut clunkers need no long- er hide their shame behind the sugar bowl, for now they have society’s blessingâ€"so long as they call their shots and use the right grip. To dunk is “all right at an informal house party or little snack after theatre,” Mrs. Gert- rude Kay, head of Amerson Col- lege’s drama department, Boston, told a class in social lisages. “Bgt â€"it is never oorrect either unless you hold the doughnuj, i/ou are dunking between your thum}) agj third finger of your right hand, All other forms are crude,” *,V *rv, DO**»'1'- Shock cailsed when his automo- bile was burned caused George E. Pritchard to obtain explosives from a quarry and literally blow himself to . pieces near Belfast, .Northern Ireland, Synopsis Amos Ethridge is found mur- dered in a country lane with a crude cross of twigs on his breast and a scented sheet of note paper in his pocket. He was the richest man in his state with power and influence enough to make himself candidate for Governor. With his death came hints of an unsavory private life, of wronged women and betrayed husbands and fath- ers who had reason to wish him dead. There was also a powerful secret political organization op- posed to him. . . . Mary Holmes, called “the goose woman” by newspaper reporters, lives nearest the scene of the crime on a small chicken farm where she ekes out a poor living and tries to find in drink the forgetfulness of past glories when she was Maria dl Nardi, world-renowned opera sing- er. . . . Gerald Holmes, a talented young artist, is hated and loved by his mother who is embittered because his birth caused the loss of her voice and wrecked her op- eratic career. He has been be- friended by the murdered Eth- ridge, and is engaged to another of Amos Ethridge’s proteges . . . . Hazel Woods, lovely and brilliant young actress, has been helped to success by Ethridge. She lives in a small cottage owned by Eth- ridge. . . . Jacob Riggs, eccentric old-time actor, now a doorman at the theatre where Hazel Woods plays, has appointed himself her guardian and lives in a room over her garage. CHAPTER XI “You thought Pd be shocked,” she went on, after a moment, “but it takes more thanâ€"well it takes something pretty dreadful to shock a girl who has lived the way I’ve had to live. There’s.one thing the theatre teaches â€" that’s charity. Your mother whatever she is now, was a brilliant artist in her time and we must remember that. In the theatre that counts for a great deal. There are people endowed with such blazing genius that or- dinary ties and ordinary conven- tions don’t, can’t bind them. The fire of it burns away their bonds. ' Yes, and how can you judge right and wrong? They’re such words. Circumstances are so powerful. She told you what price girls sometimes have to pay for suc- cessâ€"” “You angel !” breathed the boy. “It’s only good, clean women like you who can be truly charitable.” “No, no ! We’re all pretty much alike. Only some of us are dif- ferently placed. What we actual- Do This if You're NERVOUS Don’t take chances on harmful opiates and. products which you know nothing about.

She had no right to stand in your way, of course that was wicked and cruel; it was hideous of her to tell you this thing ; but --how many geniuses are quite normal? Any great talent throws the scales off balance.” His Faith Restored Gerald had somewhat recovered himself by now. Gently he kissed Hazel full upon the lips; quietly, reverently, but with a throbbing earnestness he said: “You’re the truest, sweetest woman I have ever known and you’ve brought back all my faith, all my courage, all my self-respect; you’ve made a man of me. If you can think char- itably of my mother then surely I can. Yes, you’ve done a won- derful thing, for you’ve made me more ashamed of myself than of her,” . , It was late when the lovers managed to tear themselves apart and to exchange the last kiss. For some time after Jerry had gone Hazel stood where he had left her, gazing meditatively at noth- ing and with the faintest pucker between her brows. She , pulled herself together when she heard a sound in the adjoining room, and inquired: “Is that you, Jacob?” “Yeah! I been waiting till Jer- ry went home. I wanted to talk to you.” Hazel returned to the dining room. “It’s pretty lateâ€"” “I know butâ€"there was a cou- ple of fellahs at the theatre after you left. A coupleâ€"detectives.” Miss Woods turned startled eyes upon the speaker. “Detec- tives? W-what for? What about?” “The Ethridge case, of course. They asked a lot of questions; how often he was used to coming here; did he ever come after the show, when you was alone; was you ever out to his place; what kind of friends was you and him? All that kind of stuff.” “I see. And what did you tell them?” The Night He Was Killed “I told ’em what the Book says: ‘The wicked man shall fall by his own wickedness. He shall be snared in the work of his hands.’ Amos Ethridge was an abomina- tion unto the Lord and the Lord slew him with the edge of the sword.” "But surely that didn’t answer their questions, Jacob.” “Oh! 1 told ’em he came and went here, like a lot of othersâ€" him owning the theatre like he didâ€"and you went out to his place once in a while when he was giving a party of something1. About him being- here that Thurs, day nightâ€"” “They asked about that?” “They were awful particular about the night be was killed. I said if he’d, been here I’d of seen him, sure, and I didn’t. 1 didn’t see his automobile standing out- side, either. I swore positive to that.” There was a moment of silence, then Miss Woods murmured with an effort. “No doubt they are Extra Money For Christmas! $10 In Prizes For the best Christmas or New Year’s Dinner Menu.

Why should I wish toâ€"to injure him? Or anybody?” An Innocent Kid “Sure thing! That's what I told ’em. Folks have to have a reason for killing folks. You’re just a sweet, innocent kid. Iniquity ain’t in the innocent and nobody tak- eth reward against ’em. They showed me the letter that was found on Mr. Ethridge and wanted to know if it was your writing.” “Well?” The inquiry came faintly. “Oh, 1 lied about that, too! I said it wasn’t.” Miss Wood’s knees weakened and she sat down. Her eyes were wide and frightened; they were fixed hypnotically upon Jacob’s. The old man regarded her kindly, then said: “Now don’t you wor- ry, Nothing’s going to happen. You go to bed. Jacob won’t let nobody hurt you.” CHAPTER XII On the morning after Jerry’s visit, Mary Holmes ran through a stack of newspapers and discov- ered, to her surprise and to her chagrin, that nowhere was her name mentioned.

In one week she had emerg- ed from obscurity, had become a national character, and had been forgotten; it seemed almost as if she had been born, had lived fev- erishly, and had died, all in seven days. She did not, enjoy the situa- tion; she was offended. The taste for publicity is like the taste for narcotics; it feeds upon itself, and, once formed, it is hard to break. For awhile! Mary Holmes had walked in the spotlight; now to be elbowed aside, to be crowded en- tirely off the stage, caused her to boil with rebellion. Her vanity had been hurt by the first news- paper stories, it is true, but with a little imagination and some gin she had been able to ignore their mockery and to construe what re- mained as applause ; it took some effort to picture herself as the old Mary Holmes beneath whose feet once more were the rapt, up- turned faces of the world, but af- ter a fashion she had succeeded. It was a sort of game and she had enjoyed playing it. To be robbed now of that enjoyment left a bleak feeling of emptiness, a feeling which increased when she dimly recalled her scene with Jerry on the previous evening. So he was going to get married ! That would leave her more alone than ever. She was sorry she had told him the truth about himself; he was such a sensitive flower ! He would probably stay away altogether, and his visits had at least broken the deadly humdrum of this wretched existence. Any inter- ruption, anything whatever to do or to think about, was' preferable to monotony such as she endured. She realized this morning that those visits had meant more than she had imagined. Heigh-ho! About all the excitement she could look forward to from now on was being called as a witness in the Ethridge case and getting back into the newspaper columns in that manner. (To Be Continued) Household Science by Susan Fletcher GRIDDLE CAKES It must be something in the air â€"the tangy autumn air, that .makes us want more hearty breakfasts than we have been eating in the past.
