So- -" ' About a great big, husky, young man named Karen reached the table and spoke Quickly to Vallaincourt He looked amazed, shaken. He turned to Shari Lynn once, blindly. But the Lynn girl only sat there, utterly relaxed, her mouth a sulky sneer. Karen took something from her bag and handed it to Shari. She looked once at Curt, a long, searching smoldering look, and turned away. Vallaincourt made a move to follow her, but Shari caught his hand, drawing him back. He almost stum' bled in the alcove. It was then that McCale, swiveling around to the startled Ann, had his second shock of the evening. Not five tables away, almost hidden in a comer, sat Stephen Bigelow. There was a row of empty glasses In front of him as though he had ordered them all at one time. Yet he did not sekm to be drunk. His eyes were sunken in that face so prematurely cadaverous but they glittered with a cold, sardonic amusement that was frightening. Ann Marriot gripped McC ales hand in an imploring gesture. "Lets get out of here." "Maybe the fun is only Just beginning," he said, rising with alacrity. On the steps, a slight altercation was taking place.

McCale went over to the bar and asked for Jerry Tate. The barman nodded in the direction of the third room, raising a quizzical eye at McCales formal attire. McCale threw him a hard, deliberate scowl, and made for the door. Just Inside it a young, irascible, nervous-lookin- g man sat alone at a table, playing solitaire. He did not look up as McCale sat down facing him. Jerry Tate gave a low whistle and fixed McCale with a baleful glance. So theyve called in the Ogpu? Who? The Bigelows. Who else?

Theyd gone to New York, where he had intended to set up an agency for himself after the completion of his first case in Boston, but an offer of seven hundred dollars a week from the producer of a higher type of entertainment had estranged them. He just couldnt see himself as the husband of a woman who was being cute in front of an audience. . He was not falsely modest and, indeed, took a rather harsh, cynical attitude toward vice.

It's a fabric that wears extremely well; it washes and it dyes very readily, and it can be reconditioned and used in so many ways, that no piece of woolen or knitted goods or garments should be discarded until you are satisfied that every possible use has been made of it. Woolen suits, coats, sweaters and skirts which you have worn for years are often discarded because you and your friends are so familiar with them that you feel they are too old to use. Well, dont do it without considering the possibilities of using them in other ways first Sweaters of good woolen yarns may first of all be dyed to give them a fresh new appearance, and youll find that woolens dye very easily. The same holds true of woolen skirts, coats, suits, etc. There is no need to rip them apart at the seams unless alterations are necessary. W asfiwsH. To for No. a?M bteta comply Boil Water Slowly, Gently for Woolens The most important point to remember in the dyeing of woolens is to keep the water just at the boiling point If tha fabric is faded and spotty looking, it is best to remove what color is left by one of the commercial preparations for this purpose or the dye will not take evenly. Or, if you do not want to remove the color, dye it black. ' After the dye lias been applied, rinse in three clear, lukewarm waters so the garment will be nice and fluffy. Also hang the garment properly and straighten it out as much as possible so there will be no hard wrinkles to iron out. 5EWi.no CBm Enclose No ceiti Bnjorttef-kei- 1 asl Tib M ErauUloi rlfU A MUST in every college it oflai girls wardrobe is the smartly tailored hand-kn- it sweater in bold bright or dark shades.
