Pierre's at lttnch%on time. The shimmer of pearls. Blue shirts a la Prince of Wales. The gold capari soned lacquey who serves toast. TIip patter of light conversation—as swift as a pelting rain. Covamiblas, the tf** chi i lealurlst. Wonder |f i'll have to' pay the check! Or merely vi<jn p. Why can’t each dinner have just one knife and on© fork? And abolish French / -.Hues.

Michael Alien, the gifted Armen* ,:ln novelist, was branded as an im poster bv Irvin Hnhb at a select din ner of the literati. "I have known Arlen an hour,” said Cobh, "and he b *s not tried to sell me a rug." Kdna Kerber leils this one. She in vited Charles Hanson Towne to ac company her on a vi*dr to New ^n,k's most beautiful Jewish reins ter.v. "A Jewish cemetery?’' ex < i.timed Towne. T didn't know there were any dead." Then there is the story of the healt hfully gowned lady in extremely dee ollette frock who sat next to one of the current wits. Three huge vac cination marks showed on her arm. He glanced at them and said, ‘ I see you came through the plague nicely." Cholly Knickerbocker, the chubby society editor, tells me of a new chap-j peonage arrangement for debutantes.! They are escorted to social affairs by prim ladies who are known as "maid chaperones." It is their duty to wait for their charges in anterooms and SPf* that 1 hey arrive home in good shape, lie also tells me that many society women often go to parties without knowing who the hostess will be until they arrive. Social secre taries attend to the acceptances and ns there are sometimes three or four affairs an evening, the secretary merely give*- the list and instructions to the chauffeur. When T used to go to dancing school our hired gi»l, Alice Bunch, I escorted me and so thin were social restrictions in those days that Alice1 danced with the In tie boys. <(*op> right, 1H2R.) -- . - . -i .<-s The Long Green Gaze A Cross Word Puzzle Mystery By Vincent Fuller L (Continued from Yeelerday). Xo. It had been before Kmlly's death, the night before, lie luid been lying on hie hed, dressed for dinner, and there had been voices In the hall. Suddenly he realized that the voices had been those of Rose ami Jarvis: “Dry lip and blow away"—the phrase re-echoed in his ear, but be could pot remember all of it. “Book at them ont there!'' Alls.® Minty exclaimed, when he joined her at the window. “The whole morbid town Is crawling around out there. Ted looked out. and then drew back behind the curtains. People lined the opposite side of the road, boys had climbed Into trees, more people were coming. "It's that account, in the morning paper." Miss Minty said. “They're all out to see us. 'The mur der party,’ they call us. Pgh! It's horrible. Trying to pick out which one of us did it.'' she went on. "Thank heaven they're having Poor limner’s funeral at the undertaker's chapel. H would he too much to have it out here.\nd won't they talk when they find I’m not out there! But 1 can't go. I can't! The doctor told me I couldn't. And there'll be just (ihopal and me who'll lie staying from it." “Don't let ’em worry volt. Miss Mm tv. Pome away from the window. -No body suspects you—“ "Yes, they do. Those detective men do. You could tell It In every word they said to me yesterday. You just don’t know, Teddy. And I tfdnk It was that heathen bronze idol llornfi gave me that brought all the bad luck." Ted led her back to a comfortable rocker. “Well give the town some thing else to think about. 1 11 stay home from the funeral, too. That'll keep 'em busy guessing for a good long time. I'm not keen to go, any way. And poor old Ghopal. he's pret ty well shot even now. lie couldn't go if he wanted to. I suppose. That hunger strike of his. amt the time he was In Jail, have been pretty hard on him." “You don't suppose thev'll put rrr tn like that, do you, Teddy, the way they have Soames. too?" “You'll he the last one they'd take, Miss -Minty. Depend on that. They've just treated you like they have the rest.” "That's what Rose said. too. I wish she could come. . . . Bee if that * them going out now. There'll he Hel en. and Janet, and Jarvis, and Rose They'll certainly notice that we're not there. Theodore. I'm going to call you Theodore. It's so much more substantial sounding than Teddy. . . 1 wish Rose wouldn't go. ... I don't believe she's fit to go. really. She's a comfort, but at the same time, she's worried." ‘"Have you noticed that, too? . . What do you suppose it is. anyway? . . • I've just hern talking to .lar via. . . “Were thinking the name thlnir. Theodore." She looked at him slant wise. A* she looked, site seemed frail *r to him than ever, drier, with lens life She was very old. really. II** Sad never noticed It before. A strong wind »nd she'd dry up and blow lway." The words reechoed gigantlcallv through his brain. He roukl recall flow—if whs all very clear: He had keen lying- on hi* bed, utterly de pressed, almost asleep. Voices had spoken in the narrow passageway Just outside his room, which was the >ld nursery. Rose's volt e, and then parvis'; and all the words were cord ing back now. It was Jarvis who had said: “She's outlived her useful tress. She ought to be anaesthetized. Home day she’ll dry up and blow away, and nohodv'll know Just where." The words were very clear now. And then the sound of a sob. snd a choked word from Rose: “You mustn't talk that way, Jarvis ' and then another sob. and a light hysteri cal laugh. They moved on, and he was still lying on his bed. ft was all very clear now. The dusk had been driven from Ills inem or y. What Is It, Theodore?’’ “Nothing. ... I was Just thinking something, nothing important. . . Funny you’d think that about .lai vi and Rose. too. Jlave you thought she avoided him, or he her'.'” • I've thought she avoided him, that It made her shudder to be near him ' “Y’es but we mustn't let suspl cions run away with ns, Miss Mlntv. We don't have anything -much t< g<i on, and neither do the detectives ] fancy. It lakes evidence tn ion vlct a person, you know. And that - the trouble, there's no evidence. . . Of course, if we worked toward thr detectives, snd they worked Inward us, then we might m» ct somewhere like engineers boring a tunnel thrnugli * * mountain." ► ' “t'gh!

"Hello!" lie said, "where did you come from?” !• Hardy. Burke’s assistant, was sit ting on the semicircular seat beneath the stained glass window on the land ing. • | was left on duty,” Hardy ex plained, "and 1 just wandered up here to look at the stained glass a little, and was resting. Any objec tion?” "None whatever. I don't know' that you boys have any legal right to stand over us the way you do, but yoii're’not interfering with any of rnv pleasures so watch away.” Ted snapped open his cigaret case and lit a cigaret. "Smoke?” lie asked Hardy, extending the case. Hardy’s eyes widened, and * sneer ing giin crossed hi* fac e. "Say. what do you take me for. anyway? . . . The last guy that smoked in this house well. ymi know what's happening tills afternoon.” Ted put his cigaret back in the case. "Now I suppose you’ll think I’ve been trying to dec away with you. You make me afraid of my own cigaret*. But the devil! I'd rather he pinched for murder than not smoke these days." Quickly he scratc hed a match, and walked back to his room puffing large clouds of smoke into the air. When Ted had disappeared, Hardy made a memorandum in his note book, look out a crumpled yellow' package of cigaret* and then re turned them to hi* pocket ruefully. "Devil of a job, this is." he mused. "Gan t e\en smoke in comfort. And I'm probably alone In the house with the murderer, and maybe just saw him; and if I did blow my whistle. T don’t suppose the hull* in the road would hear me.” .lust then lie heard a faint tap, tap. tap. somewhere in the front part of the house. 1 plight, he listened. Tap. tap, tap—followed hv silence. Then a loud crash resounding through the lower hall. With one shrieking blagt on his whistle Hardy rushed down the stair* and paused before the library door, revolver in band. All within wfas silence. Two blue-suited policemen pounded in through the front hall. Together they dung back fhe library door, and pointed three revolvers at—Ghopal Bose. Ghopal smiled at them benignantly. "What you doing in there* 1 Hardy demanded. "And how did you get in without, my seeing you?” "I was looking for a hook to read, and I had climbed up on the book case to look at those on the top"— he pointed "but 1 was so clumsy that I knocked over a whole p|l» of them. Yon may hpp for yourself.” "One on von, Hardy.” the police men laughed, looking at the scat tered book*. "You’d better take your book up stairs and read it." Hardy snapped at Ghopal irritably. "Certainly, if von desire me to do so.Ami If I come clown again, I shall notify you In advance." Smiling again, Ghopal departed Hardy returned to his seat under tlic; stained glass and examined again Ilia crumpled yellow package of clgarets In his pocket. Carefully, he lore off part of each end. examined a, match with care, and began to smoke.
