It enab'es me to sound a much needed warning. This letter gives me an opportunity to do so now. The letter is from a young woman --a spinster of thirty-five, She writes in part:-- "I live all alone in g small apart. ment and go out to business each day.

He walked slowly back to Shirley, and. found Maud. and Mrs." Gibbs downstairs. The. girl had had a good night, and she and Mrs. Gibbs were going out for a drive, in which they invited him to join. .-He 'accepted 'the in- "vitation, and for a few hours drove them out 'into the country at a moderate speed. Down through Dork- ing 'he took them :and past Guild- ford. They had lunch at an hotel in the quaint little village at Shere, and spent some time walking along the Pilgrim's Way. It was tea-time when they arrived back at Shirley. "By Jove," thought Foster, as he took the car into the garage, "I was to. go to the police about that dead dog. I'll be off now. But he did not go to the police. for as he went in to tell Maud of his intention, a servant directed his at- tention to a telegram that awaited him on' the hall table. He opened the wire and read: "Please come immediately to Luss 'private hospital, near St.- Alban's. Jamaican 'friend of late James Bar- ron has. private important news. Conveyance meeting 8.15 train. Urgent.--Elsie." : Foster scanned the message sever- al times before he grasped its signi- ficance, His impulse was at once to take it to Maud, and he was already he reconsidered the matter, The word "private" made him think, Was it possible that Elsie Monteith had solved the mystery of James Bar- ron's death and the apparition that haunted the house? Had she been working from another angle on her own initiative, and had her shrewd, penetrating brain grasped a clue that had. escaped him? Was it possible that she had obtained some inform- ation that she did not want him at present to: give to Maud? It looked like it. 9 (To Be Continued) British Tonnage In Sharp Decline LONDON.--The: total tonnage of merchant ships registered under the British flag declined 2,668,492 tons between 1930 and 1934, the Board of Trade Journal yovealed today.

'Oddities Of Playing Cards It has "been left" for a correspon- dent of The Times to point out that the club suit of cards "is the only one in which the royalties together possess six eyes" (the knave being counted, for this purpose, as a roy- alty). All the others have no more than five, It is perhaps a matter of gallantry that the Queens are the full: set of eyes: the Kings have only seven among -them, and the Knaves six. The Knaves, on the .other hand, have a monopoly of symmetry, for two look to the right and two 'to the left, whereas both Kings and Queens "are "eyes left" in the pro- portions of three to one. Tiittle matters like these empha- size the fact of the invisibility of the familiar. How many people play bridge regularly, and would yet be puzzled to answer this examination paper, "unseen' ?-- (1) Which King shows ity half his face? (2) How many onde aré therein the royal crown? (8) What do the Queens carry in their hands? . (3) Which King has two hands? (4) Which 'King carries the orb? (6) Which Knave is Ailitestened with an® axe? (7) Which-King -has a moustache that does not.curl? (8) Which King wears ermine? (9) Which Knave has a W on his shoulder? The style of all the cards is en phatically Tudor. The King Hearts is said to show Henry i in his proper robes, and the Queen is §ipicture of Elizabeth of York, wife of Henry VII, "But the ladies, as_a whole, are an insipid 'lot, The kingly attitude: is one of authority rather than bonhomie, The Knaves offer more variety of type, but they are uniformly poor creatures--as knaves should be. The practice of duplicating. the figures, so .as to be equally intelligible from either side, is comparatively" modern: it would be interesting to know whether the earlier pictures gave fuller details of costume. ~-London Observer.

To say the least, it is always risky to answer such advertisements. My correspondent seems to have a grudge at the paper in whioh she saw the advertisement, but that is foolish. In all fairness it ought to he said that the greatest care is generally taken to see that advertisements ac- cepted for the papers are bona fide. But even with the greatest of care ad- vertisements will sometimes appear that not what they appear to be on the surface. Such advertisements are usually inserted by very crafty people and are cunningly worded. If they were not so, no advertising manager would accept them. Every reputable paper wants to build up circulation, and such advertising wou!d only pull down the circulation figures. Clean, straightforward advertising is the de- mand of our press today. To me, 'it is somewhat surprising that anyone will seek companionship 'through press advertisements, There are so many legitimate channels through which one can make friends. Lonely girls can always find compan- ionship through the medium of one or other of the girls' clubs that are in vogue today, or through the Y.W. C.A. If a girl is living at some dist- ance from such organizations, a let- ter to the secretary will, always be sympathetically treated. And apart from these organizations, there is always the church, All churches have youth organizations in which amiable companionship tan usually be found. The best thing to do is never an- swer an advertisement of the nature that has caught my correspondent napping. I have known cases where it has led to the ruin of a splendid type of girl. To my correspondent I want to say, if this man turns up and begins to pester you threaten him with the police. If he persists, communicate with the police. If he does not turn up again, you may count yourself extremely lucky, but be sure that you hdve profited from your ex- perience. Don't let it worry you. Put the whole thing completely out 'of your mind. Join some church society or the Y.W.C.A. and find companion- ship that will enable you to forget about this nasty jar which you have received. * & 9 NOTE: The writer of this column Is a trained psychologist and an au. thor of several works, He is willing to deal with yoy problems and give you the benefit of his wide experi. ence.
