NEW YORE, Aug. 17—THE MYSTERY OF THE HERMITS of Har-

* prominent New. York family...

Did Homer, the blind brother, die in the mysterious, silent house? Is Langley hiding in No. 2078, or is he across the street in No. 2071, the house which the pair bought nine ago. from Claremont Robert

Mr. Morris, a real estate dealer at 5 W. 45th st., said today he thought Langley was concealing himself in No. 2077, a house quite as mysterious in appearance as the one which the Bowery Savings bank foreclosed. Claremont Robert Morris is unique, not only because of his name, which he says stands for two steamboats, but because he is the only man living, besides the brothers, known to have seen the inside of the: Collyer home. He confirmed the rumor that the house .contains .an automobile and a rowboat. “The automobile, an Owen Magnetic, is in the parlor,” he said. ‘“The last time I saw it Langley had taken it apart. He apologized for not having it fitted together. He said he’d never got round to it since their father di The rowboat, according to Mr. Morris, had been on the roof. “The brothers told me they put it there because it was protected by the elm tree 6n the corner. They sat in it warm nights entirely screened from view.” 7 82 = = HOWEVER, observation from a fire escape disclosed today that the boat has been removed from the

" ‘roof. But all about are cunningly

placed piles of loose brick, apparently : designed as ‘a burglar: trap. . The falling bricks would warn the - hermits below of any prowlers. Mr. Morris met the Collyers when he bought No. 2077 from a Mrs. « Simmons. “A few. days before the title was to pass to me Homer and Langley came to see me” he re- . called. “That was in 1933. .

said they wanted to save the house for Mrs. Simmons, but actually, as I learned later, they wanted to buy it as an investment. “I let them have it for exactly what I paid Mrs. Simmons, $7500.

They met me at the Farmers Loan |}

and Trust Co. dressed in old-fash-s, gates-ajar collars, high old-time stocks and queer- old hats. They pulled their money out of all their pockets—$7500 in cash.” After that when Mr. Morris happened to be in the neighborhood, he called on the Collyers. “They had no door bells,” he said. “But I tapped on.the glass window near the vestibule, then walked down on the street. Langley must have peeked at me from an upper window because the next moment the door opened a crack and he said, ‘Come in’.” . s 2 2 MR. MORRIS also confirmed that there is neither telephone, electricity, heat nor gas in the house. “What cooking they do is done: on

an oil stove,” he said. “But ‘I believe they live for the most part on peanut butter and black bread.” After his visit the two brothers came to:call on him at Gramercy park. They stayed until 2 o’clock in the morning discussing art, literature and music. “Langley was very musical,” Mr. Morris remarked. “He played extremely well.” He smiled. “He tuned my piano very creditably.” When the pair left it was so late he insisted on seeing them home. He laughed. “I didn’t realize they intended to walk from Gramercy park to Harlem. I gave-out at 86th st. and persuaded them to take the Third ave. el the rest of the way. “That was the last time they came to -call.- I heard later: that someone. had attempted to break in their house while they were out. After that the two never leks. it at the same time.”

We, the Women— Ruth Advises The Service Man’s Fiancee

By RUTH MILLETT

THE WOMAN who is going to walk down the street with a man in uniform ought to be twice as particular as. usual about the way she looks. To begin with, if a woman is carelessly turned out, the contrast between her and the spic ~and span-ness of a man inuniform will emphasize every careless, slips h o d thing about her dress. H er stringy hair will look stringier, her run over heels will look. sloppier, her too flashy outfit will ! look mor e Ruth Millett hasn’t any right to detract from a service man’s appearance. ‘She does just that if she isn’t dressed neatly and appropriately. That uniform of his stands for something. It means something to everyone he passes on the street. But it doesn’t look quite so’ good when the man wearing it is walking along - a city street’ with a woman in sloppy slacks, a rumpled house dress, or a dress ‘with a halter top. 8 8° 8 SERVICEMEN are taught to keep their uniforms spotless. They are taught how to carry themselves so that they look proud of the uniforms they are wearing. But even if they would ‘like to;

if they are going to be part of the public picture, - they ought to be equally particular about their own dress and grooming. So this is telling them for the servicemen who would like ‘to. If you're going to walk down the street’ with a’ soldier, be sure you do him and his uniform prow

Beauty—

How to Make Beauty Aids

Last Longer

By ALICIA HART Times Special ‘Writer YOU DON'T HAVE to be like Hollywood's current favorite scream

| —the dear old lady who insisted on

having her purchases wrapped because she wanted the paper to save for Uncle Sgm—to take an interest in beauty economy. You can save the stuff as sensibly as does beautiful and busy Lucille Ball. Though she was a pre-war “experimenter,” ' always looking - for something’ new, Lucille reports that she sat down and wrote out what she really needs, and she buys that only, and only as much ‘of that as she’s going to use in the current season. * os 2 2 . OF. COURSE, as every budgeter knows, there’s economy in buying larger “size packages, ‘usually. ‘So you: might, for ‘the present, choose those. . However, you'll find. yourself using more than is necessary when you take from a great jar, and therefore you would be wise to transfer some of it to a small container. That's much handier, too. And by the way, keep .the jars .. . . in time you may want them to bring home your refills. Another talked-up habit of .the pre-war glamor era—“slathering ‘it has been abandoned by Lucille Ball. - She knows, and so do you when you put your mind to your beauty routines, that it’s not the amount of cream you use that counts; it’s the massage you do as you spread it. Making it go further, hence, actually makes it more effective.
