O- i ■ ■ ■ — v Household Scrapbook •V ROBERTA LEI O— ■ ■ ' o Dry Hair A hot oil shampoo is good for dry hair. Heat pure olive oil and apply to the hair and scalp at bedtime. Bind the hair with a towel, and the next morning wash with a mild, liquid shampoo. Use this treatment about once a week. The Cook Book Just another touch to brighten up the kitchen is a gay oilcloth cover for the cook book. It not only adds to its appearance, but it makes it easier to wipe of any grease that may accidentally drop on the cover. Clean Screens Before repainting door and window screens, clean them with gasoline. It is more etfecuve in removing dirt than water. O - — — ■— ...., o Modern Etiquette ! BY ROBERTA LEE I O <> Q. Is it proper to tip the pianist in a hotel cocktail lounge if you have requested a certain song? A. It is part of the pianist's job to play request numbers, and ordinarily no tip is expected. However, if one person asks for a number of selections, then he should give some kind of tip.

Ccnnle watched the • door of the studio till Steve left and i went in Tor a private word with his teacher. She found the Instructor. Snita Farrell, sprawled on the floor —Shot dead. In the corpse's hand was a paper silhouette of herself. Confused. Connie's first thought was to cover up for Steve.

From the stolen ap- - pointment book Steve took the lesson ' time of a Ralph Tolley, whom Bolling hasn't contacted—yet using the name- of Hester Frost, and with a plan in mind to save Steve, Connie got Miss Farrell’s < teaching job.

Casually I began to scout around the Crescent School of Dancing, exploring its maze of corridors and their celllike studios. I found what I was 1 searching for in what seemed to 1 be a conference room. In a cor- < ner, beyond a long, polished table ’ and its surrounding chairs, was a door that opened on a shallow ' closet Fastened to Its back wall J was a ladder.

I was right Leaning away from the catwalk, my hands en a rafter, I could see down into the room. I saw my purse 4>n the chair by the door. This was Studio K and my theory had been correct Up here the murderer had crouched, waiting, watching. The moment that Steve had left he had aimed his gun down through the grill, pulled the trigger and shot Anita Farrell to death. It was as simple as that He might even have -stiH been here-when I entered the room, might have watched me as I came upon the body of the dancing teacher. This wasn’t a pleasant thought The killer might know by now why I had not reported the murder. He might have figured out that it was I who stole the register, and why . . . because I was Steve Barton ‘the Waltzer’s’ wife. He might even have guessed why I had finagled my way onto the faculty here, and that I was looking for him. He had killed once. If he felt I was getting too close to him, he might not hesitate to do me a certain amount of bodily harm which could prove fatal ... I got rid of that idea hastily. There was work for me to do. I had to talk to Steve; I had news for him. It took only a few minutes to get down off the catwalk. 1 managed to slide out of the conference room without attracting any attention. After collecting my purse from Studio K and locating a dime, I found that the pair of telephone booths in the corridor were both in use. I sat down on a sleek curved sofa. I picked up the afternoon paper that lay beside me. The murder of Anita Farrell was still a front page story, but there wasn’t much that was new. The Waltzer was still at large, but the police expected an early arrest, etc. No family or relatives of the victim had been located, etc. The Medical Examiner had ascertained that Miss Farrell had been killed by a thirty-two caliber bullet, etc. I put down the paper. I got up to step into a vacated phone booth. Then I sat down again, picked up the paper again, I read once more what the Medical Examiner had to say. It had been decided, from the angle by which the bullet had entered Anita Farrell’s body, that the killer had been standing nine or ten feet behind her when he pulled the trigger. I put the paper on my lap. My theory of the grill had been demolished.
