@ensigate for Federal Election Says It Would Add Dignity To The House Women Needed Refinement and dignity would be increased on Parliament Hi!l if there were more women memâ€" bers of Parliament, in the opinion of Dr. T. H. Leggett, Conservative eandidate for West Ottawa. Speaking to a gathering of woâ€" men Dr. Leggett said, "I believe there would be a much more reâ€" fined atmosphere in the legislaâ€" tive balls and much more dignified proceedings on the floor of the house, if there were more women in Farliament. MAKE FOR EFFICIENCY "The work would be done more efficiently and with more effect," he continued. "I doubt if some of the members would dare make the speeches they do if they had more women political colleagues." Men are mainly interested in the bulk of the family buaget but woâ€" men‘s interest is with the details, he said. "We need the penetrating eye and the humane understandâ€" ing of women to pierce the dense fog of red tape, patronage, fear of dismissal or political effect which is responsible for the inaccion of the present government." Canadian Girl‘s Opera Triumph Jean Dickenson, Montrealâ€"born coloratura soprano, made her deâ€" but on the historic stage of the Metropolitan Opera in January. She sang her way through three acts of "Mignon" to at least a dozen curtain calls from the vast peopled "horseshoe." MAKES A WIT It was an auspicious start on the operatic road for the 20â€"yearâ€" old Canadian girl, already a name in radio and on the concert stage. She walked through her part, that of the heartless coquette, Philine, without a trace of the nervousness that might be expected from an operatic debutante. She was cool, poised, selfâ€"confident and graceâ€" ful.

If so, there should be some indication of that in her apartment. Cilly meant to find out. &A NEW ADVENTURE It would be very simple. The fire escape from Cilly‘s bedâ€"room led directly to the bedroom above. There was no street light outside the bedroom, She could very easily climb up without being noticed, for the trees outside would hide her completely. More than that: the rain which had come down in torâ€" rents all day had settlod to a driz zle now, and there was a thick fog coming in from the ocean. It was a perfect night for a secondâ€"story job. & Cilly felt more elated over the adventure than frightened. True, she had never broken into anyone‘s house before, but some sixth sonse promised hor that she would disâ€" cover the secret to the entire mysâ€" tery tonight. It had to be in one of the apartments above; if not in Mrg. Elliot‘s, then in the Carruthâ€" ers‘ on the third floor. She wrapped herself in her dark raincoat, then pulled the wateiâ€" proof hat down over her hair, The dressmaker‘s gadget she slipped into her pocket, then turning out the light in her bedroom, sho quietâ€" ly opened the window and let herâ€" self out on the fire escape. She closed the window behind her, to keep the rain out of her own room, but she very carefully left it up from the bottom enough to slip her fingers underneath and open it agâ€" ain from the outside, should she come back by way of the fire es cape.

Eight steps took her halfway up, then she turned on the small platform to ascend the seeâ€" ond ralf of the flight. It was like walking on greased glass. MRS. ELLIOTT‘8 BEDROOM She hesitated ®s moment as she finally reached th@ window of Mrs. Elliot‘s bedroom, and tried to pierce the gloom within the room. True, there might be a murderer hiding in there, under the bed, or in the clothes closet at the side. But Cilly dia not think so now. And fearlessly she peered through the window only to get a glimpse of the room‘s layout. Then she took the dressmaker‘s tool out of her pocket, climbed to the floor above, careful Very carefully she cut a semiâ€" circle in the pane of glass directly above the window‘s catch â€" just enough so that she could slip her fingers through and unlatch the window. Some day, she thought with a smile, she would confess to Mr. Johnson and offer to pay for the broken window pane. The small semicircle of glass fell to the floor within the room and splintered with a resounding crash, But it could not have been heard anywhere except in the apartment below, and that was her own. Cilly unlocked the window and raised it slowly. An instant later, she slid over the sill, careful not to tread on the broken glass at her feet. She wished she had brought a flashlight, but she did not own one. She looked carefully at the window shade . .. Good! It was as she had hoped. The windows were equipped with two sets of shades, light and dark, for this apartment faced the south and the sun shone in brightâ€" ly all day. She pulled down both seis of shades; now she could turn on the light with little fear of being seen from the outside. In the full glare of the overhead fixture, the room looked bare and cold. Jt lacked the cozy homeliness one usually associates with old ladâ€" ies‘ rooms. Thore were no magazâ€" ines on the end table, no intimate snapshots of nieces or nephews or grandchildren, no sauggly cushions. ENTIRELY EMPTY Cilly started on the chest of drawers. One after another she opâ€" ened each drawer, and her eyes widened in amazement. They were entively empty! There was not even newspaper covering the botâ€" tom. Had Mrs. Elliot moved out, bag and bagzage, as had Mrs. Wheeler? Next she looked into the clothes closet. Would this too be empty? But no, there were clothes here. Typical old ladies‘ clothes. A black silk dress, of no particular style. A plain eloth coat, of a slightly rusty black. A muslin slip, hung on a wall bracket. Black oxfords, very large black oxfords, looking not unâ€" like a pair of man‘s dress shoes, lay on the floor. Cilly looked again.

She opened the door wider, to see deeper into the closet ... Here was something! _ Another coat, it appeared. Cilly brought it out to the light. Why, it was a man‘s coat! A man‘t topeoat! Cilly felt suddenly panieâ€"stricken., Here was the solution to the mystâ€" ery. Here in Mrs. Elliot‘s apartâ€" ment. This was where the man had been hiding out . . . and Mrs. Elliot must have known him, else he would not have the temerity to hang his topcoat in her closet. Mrs. Elliot knew who the murdâ€" erer was. That was why she was remaining in Connecticut, until all the excitement had died down . . . HAND AROUND HER THROAT In the instant of that realization Cilly froze with terror. Where was the man now? How soon would it be until he returned and fourd her there? Porhaps any minute now, she would seo him. She would be face to face with the murderer of Amy Kerr. And she would be just as helpless as Amy bad been up there on the roof . .. Somewhere a board creaked sudâ€" denly. Cilly spun around aud stared outside, into the darkness that was the living room beyond. She could see nothing. She stood still for one dreadful moment. She must go over to the doorway and switch off the light, yet she hesitated. For some reason she didn‘t want to be left in that dark bedroom to find her way back to the fire escape. ° Quickly she put the topcoat back into the closet. Her hands shook violently. She knew only one thing: that she wanted to get out of this apartment and downstairs just as fast as ever sho could. She did not dare to go out into the other rooms to search for more clews. She would call Sergeant Dolan immedâ€" iately and let him do that ... And even as she thought this, her eyes widened in horror. She tried to scream, yet the very breath choked in her throat. For a man‘s hand â€" a large, powerful hand â€" reached in from the living room and turned off the light instead. The next instant, she felt that hand around her throat, and she was dimly conscious of the odor of damp tweeds ... If she waited long enough, she would discover him. But what good would it do her, if she never lived to accuse him. > (To Be Continued) piece . oi Vaw ILeT CC 0 _ hal whole cloves and cover. Oven modâ€" erate 350 degrees.
