dar r.ge. A few years ngo n black fur
bonght for the young miss would have
been ns bad form as n tlarn, but now
it s the merry Jlttle maid who walks
olT with the blacks the seals nnd foxes
nnd mink, leaving the light gray
squirrels and the krimmcr for the older
generation.
"However, where I can use my in
fluence, I advise for the joung .squir
rel, caracul (taupe), taupe squirrel,
light fltcli, t.tone marten, opossum,
beaver nnd raccoon, with nn eye to
selling the senls nnd minks, the dark
fitch, the broadtails nnd bluck caraculs
to the older set.
While Fo to Return
"Tho yellow fox nnd the white fox
popular n few years back, were de
cidedly becoming to the young mnid.
but the popularity was run out vvith
the hideous y cheap imitations. So
these two animals had to be djed to
disguise themselves nml be sold over
ngnin. Hut there nre already signs ut
the return of the white fox. and, after
all, what's more ilntterins to the
pencil -blown young miss than it?
"The choice of fur," he confided to
me out of his experience, "is one ol
practicability rather than "xnct hecoin
ingness. For instance, the seal with
its reputation for bnrd wear is inosv
popular on thnt account. That's why
jou see so many girls wearing them.
Softened, however, with a collar of
long-hni'-ed fur. it does very well."
Cliooso Rcromliij; Color
There nre distinct colors in furs ns
iu dress material, tbousb. of course,
not as varied, and the becoming color
to skin and ejes und lmir is important
In fur choosing. Mnny women, for ex
ample, would never buy n gray of any
shnda for n dress or lint, but becniihc
, it is fur they will walk off with a
I squirrel or a mole coat with the con
sciousness jot n deed well done. It re
quires n fairly brilliant coloring to
withstand this siinde. With a ten
dency to colorlessness or ashlness of
skin the Cray or taupe fur accentu
ates It.
The Hudson hay sables, enveloping
every tone from n light yellow brown
to an almost blnck brown, may be
chosen becomingly by almost every
woman. The taupe laractil If ex
tremely becoming to thnt lovely bronze
toned blonde you sec now and then.
C.iro of Furs
"If furs get wet," says this expert,
"hang them in n cool room nnd let them
dry naturally. Don't brush them, but
shnke them out next morning nfter they
are dry. Hang them free from any
thing. With the neck pieces, when
shaking them, hold the bend down on
lable and shake the rest of tlie fur.
Then rub hand up and down the fur to
make the hair stand up.
"Water does fur good. That's what
we use in cleaning all our furs. Then
whipping the furs to get the dust nnd
dltt out is the best way. Lav the fur
on the table nnd after whipplug it
thoroughly shnke it we.l.

Yesterday's Mystery Solution
TN THR case of "IJy whoso Hand?"
Harvey Hunt saw nt once thnt the
principal hope of establishing the inno
cence of Clinrlcs Thropmnn lay in the
element of time,
Charles had claimed that when he
entered his brother's office he had found
hlin (lend, nnd immediately had given
the alarm. 'IV. uubcinnitntn i.tu -,.-
quired some proof that John Thropmnn
......j wns iieaii when his brother
Lhnties arrived.
Harvey Hunt had established the
filet that Charles had not even entered
the bulldinc until lust nfter im r.
o'clock whistles blew. 'The elenrette
proved the nrior death n( .Inlm ln.
cause It could not have burned for its
entire length, lying there on the un
signed mail, In less than ten minutes nt
the most conservative estimate. This
would cstab'ish the moment of death,
figuring from the time Itlley saw tire
Inst wisp of smoke nt G :00, ns at least
four minutes before 5.
It followed loelcnllv ''rnm Mine
Orenves' own admission thnt if John
Thropmnn had hnd no visitors before
his, brother, she herself was the only
Person Who Illld the otlllnrtimltv nt
committing the crime.
Jler confession revealed the motive.
Instead of refusing to give her up, ns
she had stnted. .lolin Tlirniininn hnd
gotten tired of her und allowed himself
io ne persuaded by his family. This
was what he had brutally told her the
evening before. She had secured his
revolver, and knowing thnt Charles
would call ut ". hud timed the shnoiinp
so he could discover the crime nnd be
accused of It. for she b nmed Mm fop

Quick Action
HAItVBY HUNT nlwnys claimed
that he cot moro enlovmenf not- nt
his war-time service in co-opcrntion
with the government ngents than from
any other part of his career ns a crim
inal investigator.
"It wns free from most of the sordid.
ncs-B thnt Is insenarnble from .ir.lb.nre
crlminnl investigations." he told Id's
friend DeKyne. "I hate that sordidness
so genuinely that I often wonder why
I continue the work. The onlv oninv.
ment I get out of it lies in the fact thnt
it is n game in which wits nre trump
and in which there is plenty of excitement.
"I loathe contact with tho rrimtnnl.
but if I nm to play the game I must
take my adversaries as I Hnd them.
Aow during tho war t was rtlf-
fercnt. A great many of the men with
whom wo crossed wits, in fact the ma
jority of those it was my fortune to
light, were men with .1, sincere helicl
in tho rectitude of their own cause.
None of them, of course, despised the
generous pay of the Knlser's .secret
service, but from their viewpoint they
were justified in whnt we chose to call
their crimes. '1 he spy, you know. Is
nlvvuys ti criminal in the eyes of his
enemy.
"The war service ulso cave n pleas-
nnt little variation every now and then
from the routine of following trails. A
fellow often hnd the opportunity of
blnzlng them himself. lie didn't have
to wait for the 'crime to be committed.
He could take the offensive, blast, the
plans of the prospective perpetrator
nnd land him behind the bars, or play
urn lining ns the tisiiermuii plays a
game hsh.
"Ihero wns. for instance, that time
when I had the chance to break up tho
tile l-.dirnr Allan Poe stunt of a cor-
tuln rrnulelii Hetzi'l. otherwise known
as Miss Margaret v eblier.
"Margaret linil certain documents the
government wanted. Of course, it
would hnvo been easy, under war-time
powers, to hnve arrested Margaret nnd
searched her, nlo lo have searched her
rooms. Ilut that could not have been
done very well without putting Mar
garet nnd those to whom she reported
wise to the fact that the government
was on her trail. There were reasons
for not wanting them to know thut. If
the papers could be stolen from her,
that would be different. It would be
better still, if sho should get the Im
uiession thnt they had been stolen, not
by us, but by one of our Allies. Hence
whntevor I did would have to he with
out nnv official power or assistance.
"I finally arrived nt the conclusion
thnt Margaret had those documents In
her apartment. I visited it once in one
of her In Iff absences. .She never left
it for more than a few moments. Hut
there were llterully dozens of places
where they might have been hidden. It
would hnve taken hours to make n
thorough search of that room. And I
knew thnt others of Margaret's baud
worn keeping a watch on her safety.
Long before I could hnvo finished u
senrch, even if I broke in nnd tied her
up while I hunted, one or another of
them would have been nround inter
rupting us.
"So 1 framed a little quick action
that left Murgaret gasping for breath.
One afternoon when shu had slipped
down to the dellcutessen store at tho
corner, 'I picked her lock, nnd disturbed
every piece of furniture In the room.
Then, hacking into the little kitchenette,
I watched through the curtains she had
hung there. And when she came in I
grabbed the documents und ran. I was,
of course, disguised us u foreigner."
"Hut I thought you didn't know
where the documents were hidden," ob
jected DeKyne. "I don't quite get
jou."
