It promotes beauty, juat ar the rounded shoulders, hollowed < heat ■nd protruding abdomen, so character is tie of poor posture, destroy it. Good posture is also a prerequisite for good lunation. It poises the body for instant, graceful and eifieient action. Most Important of all, it is an adjunct to good health because stooping or slouching h likely to cramp such important internal gans as the heart and lungs. If bad posture is present It, »» a rule. Is due to weakness of the muscles. This weakness may be brought about by tiredness, by lack of certain things in the diet, by not •nough oaercise, and by various psychologic disturbances. Muscle Weakness Wuen one ahosMer is lower than tho other it may be due to weak neaa ut the muscle known as the trapezius. However, this flame delect of one shoulder being lower than the other may come from a bending of the spine to one side. When the shoulder blades -tick oat, weakness of the trapezium muscle may alxo be responsible. Some persons walk with their chin stuck forward. This may be dse to w«akne»s of certain of the Muscles in the neck. it has been thought that bad punt ore may possibly be due to the fact tiwst the muscles on on* side are strottfer than on the other But Dr. Arthttr B.

It was th* heaviest flotsi of mall ever received in Washing ton following reaction on a national issue. The letters indicated that the average person wants ome pr<>ie<tion against rising pri< *. (i—O Dorothy Thompson reminds people that the right to strike Is lik. freedom of speech or any other right. It is not absolute. Free

do in of speech doe. not give the rishi to cry "Fire!" in a crowded theater. Likewise, the rishi to strike gives no union a moral ■ right to atop work arbitrarily when Mich -toppage endangers the lives,’ health or safety of the nation A good labor law would see to it that there is no legal right going so far. O—O — Republican Senator Vandenberg In supporting Secretary of State Byrnes' plan for world peace and the drafting of a peace treaty, urged the United Nations to adopt a policy that will prevent World War II Vandenberg, who attendi | d the Paris meeting with Byrnes. > trged bi-partisan support of this • country's foreign policy in dealt ing with Russia and reiterated ! that the United States cannot appease principle in dealing with the Soviets. Byrnes, it will be rei membered took Russia to task for t delaying steps to make peace with Germany satellite countries an* i Vandenberg pointed out. "Appeasei ment only multiplies the hazard - which it seeks to escape- History , leaves uo room for doubt upon i that score" Senator Vandenberg I j views this country's future above ,' politics. s ture 1W does not believe that this is a fact. The work a person does may be a factor In producing bad posture. •: For example, a person who sits all t ; day over his work may walk with ■ | his body held forward. The posture f may be so bad that it produces dis- ■ abilities Sometimes there is pain ■ in the back. •i If a person walks with his hips forward, undue weight Is thrown i! on the front part of the foot and ’ will produce pain, calluses, and j I flat feet. If the pelvis Is too far backward there will be backache 1 and a tendency to fatigue. People Who Sit If the had posture continues long t enough certain of the muscles may become weakened and shortened, i For example. In people who sit at t their work the shoulder a are too far forward 1 Poor posture may have a bad effect on the heart and blood vesi j st i.- and on the digestive organs. A sagging chest and round shoulders t particularly, may Im responsible •i for interference with these parts i of the body. If the muscles of the i ■ wall of the abdomen arc weak. , there is a tendency for the organa I; within the abdomen to fall out of » their normal |*osition. This inter- | seres with digest km and breathing. To correct poor posture, the : itnfMirtant thing is to And the prit mary source of the distnriiance. Then proper measures for correctH ing the difficulty may be tarried It out. such as exercise, the wearing i of a supporting orate or cast, the i J wearing of the right clothing, and ; the eerrerttoa of poor eyesight.

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE THE ROOM was full oi flowers And in its middle a crush of people was packed tightly around some ccmmon center They sounded, and looked, like a hive of Dees swarmmg around their queen. They behaved like bees, too. when Jones dived right into the swarm, i announcing loudly: "Miss Tarrant! Miss Tarrant! Your sister is here to wish you happiness!” They buzzed apart, leaving a clear space. And there stood Neal. Very much alive. More gorgeous than ever In a new radiance that was like an aura around her, and hanging on I the arm of Deane, who looked a tnfle flustered, but no less happy. “Janef Jane, you angel!” Neal's I arms were around me before 1 could utter a word. "How sweet of ' you! I'd just said we ought to tell i you and Dita! How did you find out?” she gushed, hugging me joy- ’ ouaiy. "Find out what?" I asked, freeing myself from her unaccustomed : embrace. “Why. about us. Deane and me. I That were married. Didn't you know? Did yuu just come by chance?" Neal laughed at my conaternaJ tlon, nudging Deane gleefully: "Isn't she cute, darling? Look at her! She can't believe It! It's true, 1 Jane. Don't you remember I said I i wanted to get married? Well, I - did. Saturday night, after the show. We had two nights and a day for ! our honeymoon! Why, angel, what’s the matter? Don't tell me you're J st ll] mad at me or think Deane a I criminal? Say something! Wish us luck! Kiss me! KUs your new brother-in-law!" 1 was so stunned with surprise I r forgot the many ears around me, "I > thought you were engaged to— Tonio Valente,” I told her stupidly. She shrieked with joy: "Engaged ( to—that boring Galahad? Heaven , forbid!” and then remembered: “Oh. because of the ring!” and . flashed Tonio's emerald In my face. ”No, angel, that doesn't mean a ! thing. I just made Tonio give it to me to wear at the opening, because I it went so beautifully with njy third-act costume—and let him , think what he wanted. It's heavenly, Isn't it? I hate to give It back, . but I’m afraid 111 have to—unless I can promote ft from him as a wedding present." My brain was slowly starting to function again. 1 , "Did someone here call my apart--1 ment about 20 minutes ago?” I cut into Neal’s effusion. She looked taken back. "Why no, angel. I just told you—" "Then where's your phone*?" 1 j Interrupted her brusquely. "Why, angel!" she gasped reproachfully, and then shrugged and 1 pointed in two directions. "In them s an 9in there,” she informed me. "In • j the bedroom and in Deane's study. I Take you pick." i Deane asked at the saftif time

'S g.. worrledly: "What’s wrong, Jane?" But 1 didn't answer him. I turned and pushed my way through Neal's gaping well wishers to the nearest of the doors she'd indicated and closed it behind me. It happened to be Deane's study, and I dropped into th* chair behind his desk—l don't think my knees could have held out much longer—and dialed headquarters. Inspector Barry had been In his office for a short while, but had gone out again, a brisk male voice ‘ told me when I had given my name. No, he hadn’t said where he was ' going Yes, he'd be glad to deliver a message from mo when the inspector earn* back. j "No. Not when he comes back. I Now!” 1 told the unseen voice per- , emptorily. “You’ll have to find him. I It's frightfully important. Tell him . I'm sure the murderer is in my apartment this minutg. Tell him to hurry and bring lots of help.” Then I hung up and went back I to Neal's drawing room, and through it and out into the halL I have only a dim recollection of . hearing appalled exclamations, and of Deane following me and asking questions u 1 ran—literally—to the elevator. Then I was downstairs and in a ■ taxi again, on my way home. 1 There was no doubt left In my • mind after finding Neal well and happy. The mysterious telephone 1 call, hinting at a fourth murder, ■ had been meant to get me out of r the apartment and to leave the ’ caller a free field to recover Bren- ‘ da's pearls. * 1 He would not get them. 1 prom- ■ ised myself. He'd be eaught in his ' own trap and be arrested for murder. Three murders. I Arrived at the Lincdnsfield I I thrust a bill at the driver and pelt- ■ ed aeroM the sidewalk without . waiting for change, calling to 1 Charley Bywater, who was on duty i at the door: "Anyone gone upstairs : while 1 was away??” ! "No one I know of, otrtslde Dr. . Berwick," he told me. “But I only i just came on. A few minutes late, > too. O'Brian had left already, even i if he shouldn’t If you wait a mtnr ute I'll took in the book and see » what he put down." So I had been right The knowi- , edge r*u*!<i a physical pain in my I chest so sharp It took me a few - seconds before I could say: "Never mind the book, come upstairs with > me.

"AR right then, come on," 1 urged, pulling ~ Mm Into the house by Ms goldbra ided sleeve. [ He came. He couldn't help himself. But he was completely bewil- - dered and perplexed.

I’ll come with you. But Dr. Berwick will tell you—* "Dr. Berwick will kill me If you i don’t protect me," I flung 'at him, Just as the elevator stopped and the i automatic door opened. "There, see I that?” I pointed at m> front i door, that stood a trifle ajar.

Applebee!" with an apologetic . gasp, produced a police revolver i from somewhere under his door- | r man's finery, and followed me irfto » the foyer on tiptoe. I motioned him to a chair, whlst pertng: "Wait here. I'll scream if I I need you," and walked toward my room. ! tn the inner hall I stopped end I peered around the corner, to find j I needn’t go further. > The door of my room was wide open and—Hunt was there. i He was standing with his back to me, bending over the chaise r longue and doing something to the I rose-colored pillow with a gleaming > small Instrument he held In his , hand: nail scissors from my dresst Ing table, I found out later. And 1 » watched him snip away carefully - at a seam in the rich velvet shirring, for hours, it seemed, until at - last there was a tearing sound and i his hand delved deep into the . feathers, to come out again, after some groping, holding a long, shimI merlng string of pearls. He let the milky globules run t through his fingers gloatingly be- , fore he dropped them into an inside r pocket of his coat Then he bent ■ over the pillow again. This time he produced a length ■. of adhesive—the dodge I’d used on r the other rose pillow. His fingers ; petted and pressed deftly, and presi ently the Mg lump of velvet was - baek In place and he was regardi Ing Ms handiwork, picking a few bits of down from the soft fa bile - that had escaped during his mas nipulations. r The whole thing probably didn’t r take more than ten minutes, but at 1 the time It seemed to me 1 leaned ’ against the side of the door for L hours watching the familiar figure; not afraid exactly, but intensely I curious to see what he’d do when he ; noticed. me, and so miserable I - didn't much care ts h« killed me,, too. . ’ At last he gave the cushion a - final pat and turned—turned and ■ mw me—and stopped dead in his i tracks, staring at me. 1 And I stared back, incredulous r and almost collapsing with relief t and fry.
