Here Is the Recipe
For a Perfect Woman
New York, Sept. 19.—Take the
legs of Anna Pavlowa, tho body of
| Charlotte, Hippodrome skater,
hands of Elsie Ferguson, eyes of
i Jane Cowl, mouth of Billie Burke,
hair of Margot Kelly, neck of Mary
Garden. • Martha Hedman's nose,
the chin of Mae Marsh, Dixie
! Gerard's shoulders and Ann Pen
nington's feet, and you would have
! a perfect woman. At least this is
the opinion of a majority of the
1 chorus girls at the Hippodrome. A
| ticket to the world's series was
hung up as a prize for the best
selection made from eleven stage
| stars to form an Ideal composite
i woman.
! Pavlowa's legs ran far ahead In
j the contest. Annette Kellerman's
1 ; body was a close second to Char-
I lotte's and Anna Held, Maxlne El
-1 i llott and Julia Marlowe crowded
I Jane Cowl for the eye honors.

Automatic Scoreboard
Big Feature at Colonial
■When you mention an automatic
scoreboard that will reproduce the
world's scries Karnes In their smallest
detail you naturally look for some
large, complicated affair that takos an
expert baseball fan to understand, but
tho fact that It Is possible to make a
board that will reproduce every play
accurately and not be a puzzle to un
derstand Is going to bo demonstrated
on the new automatic scoreboard that
is being Installed at the Colonial The
ater for the world's series, starting,
Saturday, October 7. at 2 p. m. Up
until this year there lias never been a
place where the ladles could enjoy the
games In a first class theater. The
Colonial - Theater will be run In the
same high class manner during the
games as it Is for the motion pictures,
and the ladtes will be just as welcome
as the men. Motion pictures will be
suspended during the game, but will
be continued Immediately after It is
over. Music will be furnished before
the game starts and the game will be
made as realistic and as exciting as is
possible without being rlht on the
field.

MOTOR CAR FOR MORAN
Philadelphia, Oct. 6. Pat Moran
and the members of the Phils were
the guests at a dinner held at the
Cedar Park Driving Club last night.
They were the guests of Frederick T.
Chandler, vice-president of the club.
Besides the players. President William
Baker and Directors Murphy, Hagerty
and Ruch were present. All the of
ficers extolled the manager and the
players and the climax of the evening
was reached when President Baker
gave the manager a high-powered au
tomobile on behalf of the shareholders
of the club. Pat Moran responded
feelingly and stirred the participants
when he told of the adversities met by
the club during the year. He declared
that the pennant was lost because of
the game that Umpire Rigier threw
out and the injury to Bancroft In the
last series of the season.
PLAYERS IN BAD SHAPE
Carlisle, Pa.. Oct. 6. —After the hard
scrimmage against the Conway Hall
eleven yesterday Dickinson College's
football candidates appeared on the
field this afternoon considerably stiff
ened up and a few of the players had
minor injuries, which, however, will
not keep them out of the coming gante
against the Maryland Aggies on Sat
urday. While Head Coach Crdver
supervised the entire squad, Dunn gave
individual Instructions to the back
field candidates and Reap took charge
of the line material. Ingersoll, McCabe,
Llns and Prlchard took likely candi
dates for varsity berths, notwithstand
ing the light weight of the last two,
who are expected to be effective on a
dry field.
SECOND TEAM STAIITd TODAY
Annvllle, Pa., Oct. 6. —While the var
sity at Lebanon Valley College meets
Dartmouth on Saturday the second
team will open their season with Mer
cersburg Academy. Manager Charles
Gemmll ha* prepared a schedule that
will be quite Interesting. It Is as fol
lows:
October 7, Mercersburg Academy at
Mercersburg; October 14, Palmyra at
Lebanon; Ootober 19, Carlisle Indians
at Carlisle; October 21, P. R. R. Y. M.
C. A at Annvllle; October 28, Bucknell
Reserves at Annvllle; November 4,
Schuylkill Seminary at Reading; No
vember 11, Palmyra at Palmyra; No
vember 25, Mount Joy at Mount Joy;
November 30, Sunbury High school at
Sunbury.
STATE PRACTICES PASSING
State College, Pa., Oct 6. Penn
State's eleven to-day perfected Its de
fense for the forward passing game
It expects Bucknell will play here on
Saturday. Head, Coach Harlow saw
Westminster use that system of at
tack successfully against his uharges,
and he Is not going to be satisfied un
til State's secondary defense can stop
both the short passes just over the
scrimmage and the long heaves down
the field. The fracas between State
and Bucknell will mark the resumption
of football relations between the col
leges after a lapse of six years.
GIANTS TO KEEP M'GRAW
Now York, Oct. 6. —John J. McGraw

National League baseball club next

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
Mary Roberts Rinehart's
Thrilling Mystery of
"The Curve of theCateijary"
(Continued From Yesterday.)
"That," said old Bolsaeau Impres
sively, "that was a different matter.
There was no need to attack the po
liceman. No. monsieur. There are
those whom the night makes mad. In
the city It Is never night. There are
lights, lights everywhere. But now
comes the real night, the terrible
night. And with It the mania."
He made me shiver, but he did not
convince me. I've said before that I
don't think much of coincidence. The
robber meant to leave by the main
entrance 1 and had done so. You re
member about the pearl. Probably ho
had a machine waiting across In the
park. If there was an alarm, the
policeman at the awning would be
In his way. So he —or they—did
away with the policeman.
It sounds like good sense, doesn t
it? Well, it wasn't! The policeman
was attacked before the hold-up, for
one thing. It would be more than
likely to put the management on the
watch tor trouble.
Was the policeman injured by a
madman? Was it the same hand that
Attacked him that immediately after
ward committed two murders? was
he wounded ifi order to facilitate the
escape of the Jewel robber? Was it
reasonable to suppose that such an
attack would lessen vigilance at tne
entrance to Boisseau's? Wouldn't It
be likely to increase it?
I put it down like this. I could
connect tho robbery and the cutting
off of the light and telephone service.
I could connect the other crimes with
the darkness in tho same way; the
policeman, for one. had been attack
ed the moment the lights went out,
aa if it had been a signal. But things
<s>nnectlng with the same thing aro
not necessarily connected with each
other.
Did the robbery and the other
crimes connect? And how?
I didn't get to that point without
trouble. It was a new game for me
and thero were some moves in it that
I could not figure out.
What had Miss Hazeltine to do with
it? Why had she fainted when she
saw the morning paper? What did
the little spring belong to?- What in
the name of all that flies haa she
looked for in the trees? Why was her
father not to see the newspaper?
Was I craay to connect her, even for
a moment, with the trouble? She'd
been worried the day before, you re
member, when nothing had happened.
I left Bolsseau, who gave me an
abject note to the mater, and went
out. The awning lay folded on the
pavement with the right-angled tear
on top. The workman was survey
ing It with wrath.
"You're rong about the bottle, you
know," 1 "Something with a
sharp corner did that."
"Maybe I don't know as much about
bottles as you do," he said, and turned
his back
It was only noon and the fellows
don't go to the club for luncheon
until 1. I had time to look up the
policeman, so I hailed a taxicab. While
the driver was cranking his engine I
saw something glittering in the street.
For a minute I thought I'd happened
on some of the loot, but when I walk
ed out, it proved to be the piece of
glase. I picked it up and put It in my
pocket. It wouldn't hurt to find out
what it came from, anyhow. Then I
went to the hospital.
The policeman, whose name was
Schmera, was sitting up in bed, and
an elderly nurse was steadying a tray
across his knees.
"I'm Oliver Gray, Mr. Schmere," I
said. "I called In to see how you're
getting along."
"I'm doing fine, Mr. Gray. But
they pretty near got me, all right.
A bit higher up or lower down and
where would I be?"
The nurse picked up the tray and
went out.
"Ain't it just my luck?" he said.
"Twenty years on the force and never
In a hospital until now. and I get a
nurse that'll never see 50 again!"
• • •
He was clearly flattered by my vis
it. As I've said before, we're rather
well known, and the governor comes
over pretty lavishly at elections.
"I'm glad it's no worse."
"He tried for my stummick," aver
red Mr. Schmere. "If I hadn't stoop- i
ed I'd have got it, too. It's a Jap- i
anese trick. I've heard of it.
"Have you any idea who did it?" " i
His eyes twinkled.
"There's a number that might
have tried."
"Then you haven't any one in |
mind ?"
"I'll tell you how it was, Mr. Gray. !
I was standing there. The lights were
going all right. AH at once they ;
went out. I struck a match to look ,
at the time. I'm supposed to repdrt ;
those things. Then something jingled
to the ground at my feet. I thought \
it was my watch chain. It breaks
now and then. I've got a habit of
catching it on things, and it weakens
It. So I stooped over and picked it 1
up—only It wasn't tho watch chain— I
and then he got me."
"Neither saw nor heard him. He'd :
been skulking behind the awning. I |
didn't think much of it at first. I
straightened up, still holding the bit
of spring and cursing. Then I felt the
blood pouring down my arm."
"The what? What did you pick
up?"
"A sort of steel spring."
He rambled on—what the doctor
had said, how he had let his accident
policy lapse, the way his wife had
taken the news of his injury. I hardly
listened.
"I'd like to see the spring, if I may."
"Sure you may." he said affably.
"Look In the pocket of tho coat in the
closet. And take a glance at tho
shoNilder. It's a neat ut."
With my fingers Itching to get the
spring, I humored him by examining
the coat. There was a long gash
across the left shoulder through mate
rial and lining as if cut by a very
sharp, thln-bladed knife. Around it
the cloth Was stiff with blood. In the
drying the cut in the material had
gaped, like a wound. It made me
sick.
"Nice work," Schmerz grinned from
his bed. "I used to know a dago who
could have done it. But he's dead now-
Got too proud of his work, and want
ed credit for it. The spring'# in the
right hand pocket."
I found it. As well as I could tell
from the glance I'd had of the one in
Miss Hazeltlne's bag, the two were
identical.
"Do you want this?" I asked.
"Not if you'd like to have it. I
wouldn't mind giving it to the missus
as a souvenir.
"I'll tell you." I said. "Lend it to
me, will you? I'll see that you get
it back. It's a queer story, all around
and I'd like to show this to the fel
lows at the club."
"The missus will want to hang It up
scmewhere." he explained. "She's a
great one for that. If I hadn't stoop
ed for it, I'd have got the slash in
the stummick. Sure you can take it
with you, Mr. Gray.
So I took the spring away with me,
leaving Schmer* smoking one of the
cigara X left with him, and congratu- J
latlng himsolf that he'd escaped hara
kiri.
It had bocn a pretty full morning.
I felt tired, I can toll you. And, some
how or other, I felt older. I'd never
had much responsibility. I suppose,
if you come right down to facts, I'd
pretty much played up to that time.
There's nothing like a Jolt to stir a
fellow up, and I'd had aeviral. I left
the office, for one thing. I'd seen a
man die a sickening death. And I'd
found out that I was tired of the girls
I knew In society, and sick of the Lot
tie Murray type, and that the sort I'd
like to marry lived In a white house
with flower-boxes and old furniture,
and thought about as much of me as
she did of the office cat. Less, prob
ably. The cat was useful; I wasn't.
Martin and I lunched together. We
generally sit at a tablo that holds a
dozen or so and It's rather noisy.
But neither of us was In lorm, and we
sat alone In a corner.
Martin was gloomy. Usually he has
no nerves, but ho hadn't slept any
more than I had, and he said things
at tho mill were bad. The governor
was In a rage, and he'd upset every
plan we'd made In the morning.
"I'm sick of it, Ollio," ho said.
"I've a notion to get out. The way
we've sche ned to land that shell or
der, and now to have everything balled
up—lt gets my goat."
"What would you do?"
"I'd look around for a while. I've
saved something. I'd like to travel.
Then I'd come back and settle down."
"That sounds like marriage."
"I might do that, too."
• • •
He looked at me steadily across
the table. not as clever as he is,
but I didn't need an interpreter to tell
me what that look meant. It meant
Miss Hazeltine, and a few other
things. It was not n challenge. Don't
make any mistake about that. It sim
ply expressed a few of the things fel
lows don't say to each other. Oh, I
understood.
And when I looked at him I felt
he had a right to try to look a little
into me. He's a fine-looking
man, Martin is. Besides, he'd kwown
her and liked her, all the time I was
thinking of her as an office fixture.
He had. all the brains and looks I
hadn't. All I had on him was fam
ily, and I knew she didn't give a
whoop for my family. On the con
tra ry!
But I had a sort of sickening feel- j
■ng that bis and I were rather getting i
ours. Poor Sis! She liked Martin
from the start. I knew that. And
he hated society and the sort of girl
Sis was—nice, you know, but frivol- I
ous. "Not standing for anything," he
used to say. Poor Sis!
I don't recall all that we talked
about at lunch. The fellows were
making an awful noise at tiie lonir
table, and kidding us to beat the band.
I know that I tried to persuade Jinr
' " st . ick b >' the works, at least un
" ,^" ew orde , r was ofT, and that he
wouldn t commit himself. Evidently
the governor had been on a bluster
, m °i n ?. ns ' Mar,tn looked pale,
