find it hard to adjust myself to his friends and their ways. An example is their promiscuous kissing. I never did care for that and it embarrasses me terribly when my boy friend kisses another girl and then turns to me for one. It seems so cheap and yet I know they think nothing of it. I've had to fight my way every step of my life and it has made me rather serious, while he has had everything he wanted, from girl friends to automobiles. He is so happy-go-lucky on the surface and likes me to be the same. How can I learn to be like that? I have a bad case of inferiority and I don't know how to stop It. 1 know I am exceptionally good-?- king, but when we are but with another couple I look at the girl and forget all about the reflection in my mirror. She always seems so much more attractive than myself that I am ready to crawl in the proverbial hole and let her take the floor. This feeling has made me jealous of the girls my boy friend knows and sometimes I am near to bursting, with hate for them and anger at him for having power o\*r me. Sometimes I don’t see how he can care for me with such clever girls around. We have four years to wait. Sometimes I believe we won’t stand the strain that long. It is showing an my nervousness and constant fear tfiat surely some other woman will fceem more attractive to him before long. What would you advise to make the years easier and how shall I correct my faults to please him? SO VERY PUZZLED. Answer—Did it never occur to you that the boy has found something in you to tie to which he values more than the casual kissers by whom he is entertained in his lighter moments? The chances are that if you tried to model yourself over into the happy-go-lucky type you would lose much of your charm for him. If he had a mid-Victorian mother, perhaps he wants a mid-

duty that attracted you to a merry boy in the first place? I imagine that when you condemn promiscuous kissing in girls whom you secretly suspect of being more attractive than yourself, you really are condemning a submerged desire in yourself to throw off your mid-Vic-torian bonds to laugh and romp and love irresponsibly. I just wonder if your condemnation of these girls isn’t done with a view to bolstering up puritanical principles which frequently threaten to totter. I don’t know. Your very inferiority complex may be the result of an unrelenting conscience which constantly accuses you of wishes which never see the light of day. It may be that you have set standards for yourself which no frail human being can achieve and that you flay yourself for not attaining them. I’m just guessing.

BY MARIAN YOUNG NEW YORK, Feb. 21. (NEA) —The hats worn by China's coolies, Spain’s toreadors and our own American men influence some of the smartest midseason hats. The Chinese, Spanish and mannish trends probably will be gone and forgotten by the time you’re ready to buy your Easter outfit, but they are vivid on the February horizon and certainly do their part to brighten up late winter wardrobes. The Chinese mode.ls, with pointed crowns and sloping brims, come in felt as well as straw and in bright and medium pastel shades. Top your mink coat with a brand new emerald green coolie hat and see what happens. Or wear a lobster pink felt with the Hudson seal or Persian lamb and notice how much less dull February sales shopping can be. For the tall and dashing, Spanish hats of glistening black straw with veils are good. Variations of this influence include the widerbrimmed Mexican hats with creased crowns and decorations of gayly colored yard balls. Wear these with your new printed dress or the old tailored suit. tt tt n VEILS are important. In most of the New York and Paris collections they are widely used and vary from the extremely short type which hangs only about one inch from the edge of a sailor brim to the long, flowing varieties that slither downward from toques and tricornes. The mannish Homburg with ultra feminine veil tied in a bow at uie back is a nice fashion parade.

rnoS * rr,o^es 'f° r Spring.

Speaking of the Homburg, which is perfect with tailored clothes, this is one trend most likely to remain popular through the next season. In black or gray felt, blocked as meticulously as the one your husband wears and loves, the Homburg is the kind of bonnet which flatters almost any woman. Becoming, too, especially to girls with lovely hair, are the hats with backless crowns or crowns that have open-work, criss-cross effects at the back. These undoubtedly will be good all spring. Advance peeps at spring collections reveal a profusion of hats with no backs at all. One interesting model consists of two pieces of straw that come together to form a tricorne effect in the front and two ribbon streamers which tie in a bow at the back and hold the straw on your head. Also new for spring are wax flower trimmings which look more like real blossoms than cloth ones ever did.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE JULIA was silent, slowly realizing that it could be true. Buchen e- j make it bad for her. Perhaps L. himself believed that she had killed Nesbitt—and in his belief ould convince the jury. “But, no,” Julia cried, half in answer to her thoughts. “They can’t, Peter! They can’t do anything to me, because I didn't do it!” Kemp studied her a moment, then walked walked across the room and kneeled down beside her chair. “Look here. Julia. I’ve got to get you out of this. But if I do manage it you have to tell me the truth. Don't you see? In order to be prepared for Buchen I have to know' what really happened. You don't have to lie to me, Julia . . .” Suddenly Julia realized what he meant. Suddenly she realized that Peter Kemp believed she had killed Royal Nesbitt! “Peter . . . Peter, you think that I—” “I want you to tell me the truth, Julia.” “You suspect that I really may have killed him. and yet you’d help me?” “You had good reason,” Peter said. “I’m sure of that.” ana SLOWLY she regarded his eager young sac-, serious now with the weight of her troubles. “But you’re not that kind of a lawyer, Peter. You don't believe in it— why would you do it for me?” “Because I love you, Julia. Isn't that reason enough? I don’t care what happens to me after this is over—but they mustn’t hurt you.” “Oh, Peter . . Suddenly her arms slid ’round his neck and she was sobbing. “I—l didn’t think there was any one in the world like you.” She straightened, fumbling for her handkerchief. “But I didn't do it, I really didn't!” He looked at her for several seconds without speaking, and she said, “Can't you believe me, Peter?” Kemp nodded slowly. “Yes . . . I do believe you.” He stood up, rubbed a palm wearily across his forehead. Then he laughted shakily. “That doesn’t make it easier for us, Julia—but it does tell me this. They —Woodford and the rest of his party on that yacht—know who did it. One of them is guilty, and they’ve banded together to make

you take the rap. You don't belong to the crowd, so you're ‘it.’" “But I'm sure of one of them. Peter. I'd gamble my life that Cintra Le had nothing to do with it.” non KEMP sat down, folding his hands together until the knuckles were white. “Who would you pick. then, from the others? Woodford. Nash or the widow?” “I don't know.” Julia answered slowly. "I can t believe—” "You've got to believe one of them did it, and you feel sure that Cintra Lee didn't. Which of the others? It had to be one of them, or one of the crew. The crew had no reason to kill Nesbitt that we know of.” “Peter, I . . . I'm almost sure that the wound Nash gave Nesbitt wasn’t an accident. And the n.ght before, when Payson was in the lodge, Nash and Royal came to blows.” She stopped, looked at Peter helplessly. "But I can't believe Nash would want to kill aim for just that.” Kemp stood up suddenly and reached for his hat. "There's only one chance for us. Julia. I'm go-

ing to see Woodford and try to bluff him. He knows the answer.” “You're going now?” Kemp nodded, and Julia added quickly, "I'll go with you.” He hesitated a moment. “I don't like the idea—but it might help. Come on, Julia.” o an WITHIN half an hour they stood before the door of Woodford's downtown apartment. It was Obo, the Japanese, who opened for them, and his usually impassive face showed his recognition of Julia. He would have shut the door quickly if Peter hadn't thoughtfully moved first. Taking Julia firmly by the wrist, the young attorney barged into the hall. They had gone only a few steps when they came face to face with Woodford. “What's the meaning of this?” he said icily. “Breaking into my apartment without ceremony, and ” “I'll get to the point. Woodford, without ceremony, too. I want to know who killed Nesbitt.” Woodford's face twisted in surprised anger. “I don't know what you're talking about!” Kempt stepped closed to Woodford. "Would it interest you to know that Miss Craig and i have just spent the last hour In your office? Miss Craig was kind enough to help me find your private files ” “Why, you ” “Easy. Woodford,” Kempt said, drawing Julia behind him. "Theres nothing you can do now. I've enough evidence in a safety deposit box downtown to keep you explaining yourself for a long time. The McLaughton estate, for instance—and that Conley frill —and your representation of the Zodiao Hotel trustees. . . ” The other man whitened “What the devil do you want, Kemp?” he asked huskily. “I want you to rtop shielding the murderer of Nesbitt. Or did you yourself do it?” (To Be Concluded) LANGS ENTERTAIN WINNETKA GUESTS Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell C. Lang are entertaining as house guests Mr. and Mrs. Herschell A. Mor.ison. Winnetka, 111.
