Yes, the house had an attic. It was one of the spacious rambling houses of the carly days, which have been carefully preserved in instances. These houses bo well lighted attic storerooms was the windows in these that had so attractively curtained “for the stranger who p on the other ide.” The rooms were seldom if ever nt up to them except were clean.

Baby's Beauty Aids. One smiles at the idea of a baby having sids to beauty and senti- mentalists are sure to say. “‘Youth is its own beauty,” or something to that effect. Whicl in a way is true and then again isn't, because even the sweetest baby is unattractive if dirty: or has ungkempt hair, matted with cradle cap; ‘or eyes which are red and rimmed with pus: or a skin that is rough and red from a number of causes. The baby has his own brand of beauty, but Ii needs care and daily attention. So for the baby's very own use we have a number of preparations which are as much a part of his daily toilet as bath salts and cold cream and powder are of his mother’s. In his toilet basket will be two bot- tles, one containing plain salt water, made with one teaspoon of salt and one pint of hoiled water. Every morn- {ing his mother will take two wisps from a roll of absorbent cotton and using one for each eye, wipe the baby's eyes carefully with the salt ater. Or, if she likes it better, she may use boric acid water, made with one teaspoon of boric powder to one pint of boiled water, and kept in a covered bottle also. In another bottle will be olive oil. This she uses in the creases of the bhaby skin after his bath, if he h: the sort of skin which becomes too drv when talcum is used. Also she will dip a small tw of cotton in the oil and oil the baby’s nose.

Answers to Yesterday's Questions. 1. The wind does not whistle, but rather the objects it strikes are made to vibrate: the pitch of the sound de- pends on the length of the object, that is, its “key note”; a storm in space, striking no object, would be noiseles 2. Sound can be reflected, like light, which is the reason for echoes being glven off by barns, rocks, hills, woods, ete. 3. The noise of stones being struck together under water is louder than in air because the vibrations set up in water move the heavier liquid violent- ly against the eardrum: 4. Whether an explosion that there was no one to hear would make a noise depends on the definition of “‘hear” and “noise”: vibrations would be set up just the same, but if noise is some- thing that some animal hears, then it would be noiseless. 5.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1926. _ REAL ES THE EVENING STORY Miss Betty—Misogynist. AM a misogynist,” Bill Tyn- dall announced to his smoke- laden air of the newspaper office. The little stenographer, who wore shell.rimmed spectacles and sel- dom spoke a word, emitted a throaty sound that resembled the giggle of frivolous girls. Bill glowered. He had not been addressing Miss Wainwright. Besides, stenographers should hear only those things intended for their car 2 Bill knew that he was suffering from an ingrowing grouch—and there was no wonder. His was not work for a red-blooded man. He, Bill Tyn- dall, former foot ball captain, in the capacity of Miss Betty of the wom- an's page. furnished solace for the lovelorn and in consequence had be- come violent woman hater. Gloomy Bill raked the basketful of letters onto, the desk before him, pawed through the dis rdered pile and picked out a familiar handwrit- ing. According to perversity of human nature, Bill was interested in none of his correspondents save this one, who daily abused his lovelorning art. “I have made a discovery, dear Aunt Bett; “You are a an. No woman could be so zealous eguarding men'’s_happiness, so consistent in placing all the respon- sibility upon women. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. The brief scrawl was, as usual, signed “One Who Does Not Admire Miss Betty." No address. no clue. Bill studied the nondescript handwrit- ing, ran stubby fingers through his mop of foot ball hair and addressed to Miss Wainwright the first question he had ever asked her. “If you wanted to know the name of one of the fool women who write letters to Miss Betty, what would you do _about it?” The girl regarded Bill through her hideous gla: There thing ridiculous about thos almost _covering as very litile, very serious fac “I'd write and ask her to give some information, Wainright replied. e would be so flattered “Not girl. She hates M Betty."” “How refreshing!” replied the ex- traordinary Miss Wainwright. “Yet she may deign to have a clue of you ask for it. Bill wheeled around and faced his typewriter. After the first saccha- rine paragraph of his lead he plunged into the inquiry. “There Is some one" pounding out the words “who distrusts Miss Bett world we are often m Perhaps she who sign: ‘One Who Does Not Admir Miss Betty’ vill give Miss Betty a chance to un- avel the disturbing complex.” Then Bill examined the print on the ungracious one’ this he wrote, vicious| In this sunderstood. finger letter before adding this last missive to the pile he was keeping for future refer- ence. trigue him!

That afternoon, however, he bought a Journal and during the days that al paper. He tabloid story to the coffers of the ri read the work of the writers with a studiousness worthy of a Sanserit scholar. At last he found a story entitled ““Trapping the Lovelorn,” by Beatrice St. Clair. This was the work of his enemy, he knew. He had already noticed the efforts of this prolific Beatrice. Bill sought the Journal and inquired the writer’s real name. The editor was firm.
