HILIP WHITECASTLE, his jaw set, nervously hung up the tele. phone receiver, He turned to his beautiful wife, daintily clad In a kimono, a look of abject terror in his honest blue eyes. “Mary,” his words froze In his throat. He was shaking as one shakes during a nervous chill, He tried to speak, but his words choked and died in a husky voice strangely overpow- ered by emotion. Ilis eyes, like ghosts peeping from tombs, finally rested in a blank stare on the family Bible, still open after the quiet hour of evening devotions, “Philip,” « woman with poise and balance. ip, what on earth has happened; telephoned to you at this hour; was the message?” It was several minutes before this strong man could talk coherently. In broken punctuated by long pauses, jerking muscles and deep sobs, Mrs. Whitecastle learned that a news- paper reporter from the Morning Life had telephoned her husband. The re- porter had informed Philip that the Morning Life would carry necting his name with that of a wom an, a recluse, who had just died. “What comment has Mr. WI tle to make?’ the reporter inqu The little illuminated clock on mantel struck eleven, Philip, without a the door. “But, Philip, surely you are not go- ing out tonight?

For twenty-five glorious years your father and I have pals, No cloud has marred our happiness. Whatever that cruel newspaper story suggests will be satisfactorily ex- plained by your father.

The door opened. rastle with three heels, entered. “Mr. Whitecastle,” began one re porter “you have, no doubt, read the morning paper?” “Yea” “Well, what is the real story back of this mysterious setting?” “Mysterious?” and Philip shrugged his shoulders helplessly, “Perhaps you prefer that your wife and son leave the room while we dis cuss this affair? “On the contrary, I Insist that they remain.” “Mr. Whitecastle, back of the death of this recluse, this woman, is a story an interesting story, I might say. The public demands that we print the news. We propose to get that story from your lips, If possible, but, re gardless of that, we have enough facts right now to write a story. “We know that you and this woman had a joint bank account. You had had It for many years, We know that you frequently visited her, We know that she left $50000. We know that you were the only one with a key to her trunk, to her jewel box. We know that you invested money for her, We suspect that she was once a wom- an of power and influence—ah, yes even refinement, I dare say, “What is the story?” “Well, boys,” Philip asserted frank. ly, “it would seem that you fellows have enough dynamite there to con coct any kind of story you choose to write,” Mrs. Whitecastle and Willlam sat -3 Jane name of church. ecastle, after a long pause f-control, was the son, er and I been sweethearts, eve mother, Jane told me—" ttled In the keyhole of the Philip White. reporters at his silent, drinking In every word in this strange drama, “You refuse, then, to throw any light on your connection with this woman--this joint bank account?’ “I refuse to make any comment,” and Philip Whitecastle opened the door, at the same time handing the reporters thelr hats, “Philip, dear,” and Mrs. Whitecas- tle paused, @imost afrald to frame the question, “Phillip, those terrible in- sinuations cannot be true; they can't.

For the next two yenrs the postmasters of various cities produced thelr own stamps, Impressed with ink directly on the envelope. In 1847 Post Office department was empowered local postmasters’ stamps were ordered destroyed. The first stamp was sold July 1, 1847; the first stamped enve- lope In June, 1853, and the first stamped newspaper wrapper in 1861. During the Civil war small coln was 80 scarce that encased postage stamps were used as money. A New York man, John Gault, recelved a patent on these flut circular metal cases for the stamps, protecting them with a thin sheet of mica. Then There Is Limburger She was giving an order to the grocer, “And 1 require some cheese,” sald, “Yes, miss,” replied the grocer, smil- ing amiably; “I have some lovely cheese,” “You should not say ‘lovely cheese’ I” sald the customer severely, “But why not, miss? It is lovely cheese I” “Because”-she tried to combine maldenly modesty with an air of learn. Ing—"because lovely should only be used to qualify something that is alive.” The grocer's smile broadened as he glanced at the Gorgonzola, “Well, miss,” he sald, “I'll stick to lovely’ I"—Progressive Grocer. she New F rocks Take on Simple Grace Intricate Cuts, Incrustations, Godets, Shirring, Among Features. The simplicity of the new mode 18 not arrived at by simple means, de- clares a fashion writer in the New York Herald Tribune. The woman who thinks that the old type chemise frock will do if the belt Is tied at the nat- ural walstline Instead of at the hips will be woefully disappointed. Look at a Patou, a Molyneux or a Worth model with your eyes half closed and you will see a long, graceful and wonder- fully simple silhouette, Examine the frock closely and you will find that this shmple grace 18 produced by means of the most Intricate cuts, Incrusta tions, godets, tucks, shirring and veining. Without there would be no movement, rhythm in the gown. The neckline has assumed a new Importance, Augustabernard's folded these no to the carefully studied simplicity. The variations on this theme reveal a great deal of thought and original ity, as do the novel and varied waist. lines, which are marked sometimes with a belt, sometimes with a shaped band and sometimes by a series of cleverly arranged tucks and intakes, So much has been sald and written about the elaborateness cof the new styles, about the excessive helght of waists and the excessive length of skirts that many conservative women Flannel Suit Trimmed With Fur; Skirt Is Full; Beige Crepe Blouse. have taken fright at the very thought of the new And in many cases these are the same women who f Year or so ago were about the low waistline and raising eyebrows at the shortness of skirts, “Moderation {8 the keynote to dis tinction in dress,” says the stylist of one of New York's smartest shops, and here we find the American echo of the most farsighted French designers “We find" she continues, “that the women of taste among our clientele have accepted the new silhouette, with its charming feminine outline, with en thusinsm.™ She remarks that the American woman shows judgment in her reac tion to the new mode. She has re tained the practical short skirt and straight tailored lines for daytime but adopted clinging lines and captivating curves for her evening gowns, Truly there has been much ado about nothing in this con troversy concerning the lengt of clothes complaining foo the clock, and as the day lengtnens so do ber skirts. For sports wear she chooses them just enough longer than year to be more graceful and becoming. Many of the opponents of the new gowns declare that corsets must be worn with them and that corsets are ruinous to health. From a study of the new clothes at their best and from talks with their creators nothing farther from the truth. Women who needed corsets before the debut of the new styles will need them now, women who have good figures will be able to display them to the best advantage In the new clothes without resorting to artificial alds to The new silhouette indeed encourage the return of moderate curves which women may regain and control through healthy regulation of thelr diet. Health and beauty go hand in hand, and women must have both in order to wear the new fashions with success, - Two-Piece Frock Still Holds Place in Mode Women who are devoted to the two plece frock have wondered whether it will remain In the mode with the slinky one-plece frocks. It remains. but, oh, how changed! The belt (It must be belted) Is placed at the heigher waistline. There is often a short peplum. The cut Is more or less Intricate though the gencral effect is one of extreme simplicity The skirt is longer and there Is very little trimming. ON REARING CHILDREN from CRIB TO COLLEGE the Editors of THE PAREN MAGAZINE Can any one doubt that the proper study of mankind must begin with the child; that the proper study of the child must begin in the home and in preschool days, even In preparent days? The consummation devoutly to be wished is an enlightened American parenthood. The publle and private schools, the colleges and universities, have a technique for teaching and a system for reaching into the homes of the nation that no othr institutions or organizations can ever have; and therefore the logical place to teach potential nnd actual parents what they should know about children 18 In the school, college and university. John B. Watson says, “While motion pictures are an insult to our adult organization, nevertheless they form a part of the child's environment, I believe In bringing children up from their Infancy to face everything there is to be faced In thelr environment, and to so organize them about life in general that such things as movies and sex and crime and death fit into thelr general scheme of life,” most The one test of a good housekeeper is glance at her bureau drawers and closets.

Capelike Scarf Recalls Bandanna of Yesteryear One new adjunct to a London eve ning frock is no more or less than a glorified scarf. Of the same shade of georgette as the gown which it orna- ments, the scarf tie in a bow on the left shoulder and hangs across the front and back of the decolletage and over the right arm. Except that It is larger, this new cape is merely the bandanna scarf of yesteryear, and a very graceful appendage It turns out to be.

Bencfit of Zoning Laws Zoning is an effort on the part of cities or counties to protect the in- terests of the business man and the home owner so each may realize the highest possible values from his land. For, although the tendencies toward grouping according to similar use are very definite tendencies there are peo ple who from motives of self interest would oppose this natural tendency, if zoning laws and restrictions did not operate to protect the general interest of the property owners of the area as a whole.
