Tiny Waistline Styles Give Woman of Today Figure of Yesterday Everything in this season’s fash- loins is conspiring to give the wo- man of today the waistline of yes- terday, It is a feminine ideal of the nineties revived to such a degree that it appears that Paris coutur- iers have focused all their atten- tion and effort on reducing this mid-measurement either by really drawing it into the least possible circumference or by giving it a laced-in effect through bulk above and below. Will They Try Lacing? The tiny waistline is the essen- tial of this season’s silhouette. In olden days it was “Just 18 inches” or “You can span it with your two hands,” or ‘‘She looks as if she’d break in two.” Sometimes the lad- ies fainted, but they looked so beautifully frail and feminie, what of it.

Men Can’t Stand These In Women Not Being on Time, Being Con- spicuous, Criticizing Friends, Gossiping Are Among Things That Exasperate NEW YORK â€"- What are some of the things about women that ex- asperate a man beyond endurance? Magaret Devereux author, lists the following: Not being on time. Making him or yourself conspicu- ous in a public place. ‘‘If you -are not seemly and modest in your look grid éûnduçt, hs 5025 -to pieces,” Criticizing his friends (“What- ever do you see in' that Smith man?” or “Yes, we’re going to the Duncans tonight. Some friends of John’s, very stupid people.’’) Picking your own friends to pieces behind tlieir backs and then greeting them with an air of warm admiration. They Hate Gossip Indulging in gossip. (“Men nat- urally abhor a gossip. They always mind their own business. A gossip invariably talks too much, which is another trait men detest.”) Prefacing every remark with “Well honestly," or “You know,” or “I mean,” (It drives him wild.)' “You can't Crowd men in any way. They like ample preparation and due warning. They hate to be coerced or hurried into a decision of any kind. “Their dignity and their status must always be maintained, “Men won’t stand for being inter- rupted. They are not given to idle remarks. When they speak they in- ten to have the floor.” TNe Goose Woman CHAPTER XVI When they had finished he told them, miserably: “You shouldn’t believe that. She's â€" not altogether responsible. She drinks more than she should and there are times when she's apt to do or say almost anything. She’s not a credible wit- ness.” "She wasn’t drunk when she swore to this.” “But â€"• don’t you see, there is just enough truth to what she says to make it all sound plausible? She doesn’t know that I have an auto- mobile. I didn’t tell her because â€" well, because she would have con- sidered it an extravagance, so she doesn’t realize it was my car she saw pass the house. I did leave it at the grove and it did have only one headlight. Yes, and she saw the tracks there the next morning. But she didn’t actually see the murder, or she’d have told me. Why, we talked it over when I got back from Chicago and she never said a word about it! Bring her here! Take me to her. She’ll set this thing right.” “Better Come Clean” “You beter come clean.” one of the detectives told him. “It’ll save a. lot of trouble and you’re not do- ing yourself any good raving like this. You, may save yourself from the gallows." In spite of himself. Gerald flinched, “Pretty rotten to kill the man who befriended you. The jury won’t be out twenty min- utes. Why, listen to this and do a little thinking for yourself. Eth- ridge likes you, pays your way all through art school, and one day he introduces you to his gal. You fall for her, like any shelter, and want to marry her until you discover she is his sweetie. But she knows a good tiling when she’s got it and she stalls you. All those Janes have a young fellow on the side! Of course you are familiar with Eth- ridge’s habits; you know how he drives home that back' way every night after lie’s been to see her, so nobody will get wise, and you know he has to get out to open that gate. You know every inch of the ground out there, haviiig been rais- . ed on the spot.

All right. One night when Ethridge has a date with your gal â€" his gal â€" you beat it out to see your mo- ther. You’re a nice, dutiful mam- ma’s boy, only you’re not living at home. No, you’ve got your own place in town and you leave her alone with the chickens. You park your flivver where it’s handy to the lane; then ,you frame an alibi by calling on the old lady. But you take pains to duck just before Eth- ridge is due home. Fine!

They usually do. “But you get a bad break â€" one in a thousand. Your mother goes up the road in time to see you give Ethridge the works. Tough for you she wasn’t close enough to recog- nize your voice or see your face; she’d have kept her mouth closed if she had, no doubt. Women are like that. But, not knowing you’d a car, she spills everything to Mr. Vogel, and he plays her just right. We have you covered before he brings her into town. And by the way, remember the two wops that talked to you the night you went back to hide your tracks in case she suspected you? Your right headlight was out that night, too. Why man, everything checks up, even to the white robe, or ‘mantle’ as she calls it. We find this light- colored dust coat in your car. It ain’t exactly white, and it ain’t a robe, but it’s close enough. I ne- ver saw a cleaner set-up. Better call it a day and sign on the dotted line.” . In Prison Gerald spoke, quietly, listlessly. “You almost make me believe I did this, but there’s one thing you can’t make me believe and that .is what you say about â€" Miss Woods.” That night while his mother had greedily read about herself in the papers and drank herself into a triumphant stupor Jerry sat on the edge of a bunk in the city prison. Westland was in a furore. There was but one topic of conversation. The Ethridge case had “broken” finally and the explosion rocked the city, for nothing so fantastic as the true facts had been conceived in the most imaginative mind. To begin with, the story of Ethridge’s “love nest” and its charming occu- pant â€" which, by the way, the pap- ers featured in screaming headlines â€" was sufficiently scandalous to delight the prurient minded. Then, too, the identity of the slayer was a genuine surprise. A wicked roue, a seductive actress, a Cupid’s bow- er, and a jealous young lover! It was the oldest, the most hackney- ed situation known to newspaper reporting; it was hokum of the highest quality, sure-fire stuff. Any- body could write it, everybody would read it. To have the lover prove to be a base ingrate was an added touch and a tasty morsel. But the thrill, the drama, lay in the fact that the ingrate’s mother had actually witnessed.the murder and, in absolute innocence of the part she played, had brought him to jus- tice. Here was something stunning and here was a coincidence truly uncanny; here was the hand of God. Yes, and the final denoue- ment, coming right on top of the discovery of her real identity, was piling sensation upon sensation. To the general mind it was a pe- culiarly satisfying case because the motives were plain and understand- able and because the persons in- volved, outside of the unfortunate mother, excited no sympathy what- ever. Motives Were Plain Mr. Vogel came in for great praise for the expedition with which KOHOL HAIR DYE l-110 Stanley Montreal, In the great struggle for life, everything depends on the age you appear to be; but don’t be discouraged.
