By Adele Madge Suspects a “Catch” in the Receipt Samuel Brixton Demands of Lillian for the Returned $20,000. LHlap did not put out her hand to take the check and receipt which Sam Brixton was holding out to her. But grith a movement incongruously deft and quick for so large and un- wieldly a man he laid the papers in her lap, and then stepped back, look- | ing at her appealingly. But I was sure I caught a gleam of alert| watchfulness back of the appeal. For several seconds Lillian let the papers rest in her lap while her searched Samue] Brixton's face. “Twenty thousands dollars!” she repeated at last. “That is a large sum, Sam. I did mot understand from—Tom—that the sum fnvolved was that large.” As always. there was the hesita. tion before speaking the name of tiie husband of whom she had noth- ing but cruel, sorbid memories, and I realised anew how nerve-racking this Interview was with this stirring of these memories which for years had been mercifully buried. “It wasn't that large,” Mr. Brixton #aid promptly. *‘But of course there is {nterest for all the years since. You are entitled to that, you know, und Helena will not feel that 1 have | atoned fully uunless that is included, in the sum.” | “I am entitled to nothing," Lillian said with a sudden fierceness, stres ing the pronoun. “If I accept th proposition of yours it will only o with the understanding that Marion | is to receive the money." “That, of course, is up to you,” Mr. Brixton said, and I saw his eycs | watching the papers in her lap. As it impelled by his gaze she lifted | first the check and looked at it, a¥1 then, laying it down, took up the paper he had dsignated as a re- | ceipt, and began reading it. Something in Samuel Brixton's eves fixed upon Lillian's face, warn- ed me that in the “receipt” she was reading lay the real reason for this interview. THE CLOSED By Thornton W. Burgess A door that's closed intrigues the mind, For mystery doth lurk behind. —Old Mother Nature. e Seig Buster Bear couldn’t keep away from the curious little house he had seen two men build in the forest. His common sense told him to keep away. This map smell when he first went back there after the men had left, filled him with distrust. He was full of curiosity, but the man smell overcame that curiosity. 8o at last he had gane back to his new | home up in the ledges on the back side of the Great Mountain. But there was one thing that Bus- ter couldn't forget. He couldn’t forget that, with that man smell, | there had been mingled the smell of fresh pork-—the pig smell, It had come to him from inside that little house. “There must be some pig meat in there,” thought Buster. “I am sure there Is some pig meat in there. wonder why? I wonder what those men left it there for?” The more he thought about that smell of pig meat the more uneasy he became. So, late the next after- noon, he was back near that little house. Right away he noticed that there was something diffcrent about it. At first he couldn’t think what it was. He walked all around it wrinkling his brows and trying to think what there was unfamiliar| about that little house. Suddenly it | dawned on him. When he had left it the night before it had been op# at one end. Now that end was clos ed. A door had been shut. Buster wag disappointed. He was mueh disappointed when he discovered this. “Now I get in there,” thought he. “There's no chance of | getting that pig meat. I wonder if} the wind blew that door shut? | Buster walked over and began to sniff around the little house. The| - man smell was not so strong now | In fact, there was very little man smell.

He had been right—it was the strong smell of Cat. It was so strong that Bustor knew Cat in there right then A eud- denly It came over Buster that if the Cat was in there couldn’t get out. No, sir, he couldn't out. Once more Buster backed 1 haste. Could it be that that was a t.ap? It d'dn’t seer Tt didn't look like & trap Iut there was that Cat in there and that Cat couldn’t getl out. g ' Love’s Awakening The Heart Stery of 8 Steadfast Woman Grrrises There was a light tap upon the door, and § crossed the room to open it. A little premionition told me whe was standing outside, a premonition which was fulfilled when I saw ' Charles Owen standing in the door- way, “1 am so sorry if I am interrupt- ing,"” he said, “but the tennis play- crd are involved in a dispute over & point which they say only you can settle. I tried to arbitrate the matter, but they refused my offices. It will take but a minute or twe, I am sure. They are all willing to abide by your decision.” It was a plausible errand, for Marien and Mary are etermally squabbling over tennis points, and when Dicky is absent I am their umpire. But with my “imagination working evertime,” as Dicky would have phrased it, I read into the mes- sage a cleverly staged maneyver of Charles Owen'’s to get me away from Lillian so that his half-brother could have a few minutes alone with her unhampeged by my presence. 1 was in no mind to Jet Mr. Owen suspect my doubt of him, howsver, and I smiled in my very best man- ner. “Oh! those tiresome ehildren!” ¥ exclaimed. “I mean ours, of course, not your young people,” I added with perfunctory comtrition. *Buyt Mary and Marion have more dis- pwtes than eould be found at Wim- bledon or Forest Hills. What is their particular issue now? I am familiar with them all and can send back the decision at once.” He had not expected this move. T could see that psainly, but his re- covery was prompt. “Oh! T never would dare to re. turn without you,” he said with & smile. “Besides, I'm a terrible dub at tennis, and I'm sure I wouldn't get the message straight.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1028, : _gguffant Frock Is Choice For Debut BY HENR] BENDEL Written for NEA Service New York, Dec. 13.—8ince the bouffant frock is ementially & cos. tume for the yeuthful figure, it is the predominating choice of debus tantes for their coming-out partics this year. . Winter modes, for the first time in years, differentiate betweon the gowns created for the very young girl and those that best becomo the woman of gracious dignity be- ftting her added years That is one more reason for the bouffant's popularity. But, as s matter of fact, the bouffant needs no explanation. Somehow ita lines symbolise youth. It is usually made of ,taffeta, tulle or in some way achibves crisp freshness that suggesta youth, Its very full-akirted §race seema a perfoct interpretation of the gay, eager motions of youth, Dainty Bodice Nothing is lovelier than a slea- der young figure in a dainty litt) bodice and full skirt. Nothing can be more demure, in & way, than a modestly cut bouffant frock.

Pink s an excellont color this season. The apricot shade perhaps is preferred to dawn pink. But all the real pinks have champions. Yellow has an unusual vogue this winter, which I attribute to the popularity of the sand tones In sports things, the sun-burned tend- ency, In other worda. Blues are apt be softer and deeper than turquoise. White s excellent and nothing is lovelier, to my way of thinking, than a young girl with rich celoring and eager, dancing eyes, clad in the right white frock.

Pepluma, lingerle shoulder straps, unusual pecklines, circular tiered skirts and side bows are all incer- porated in them, differently. A soft poach colored taffeta ealls on the peplum for the inspiration of ita skirt treatment, which has shirred double folds of the taffeta used in step-downs from & very short peplum in front to r deep one in the rear.

Agnes Lyne As a grown man and an artist, Edwin works slowly and painfully. According to his own confession, he Is s0 harassed by doubts and fears of his ability to create the images of his imagination that he accom- plishes little. Those tew works which he has brought to completion alone bear witness that his difficulty in- deed lies in an inner conflict rather than In the quality of his artistic endowment. He tells his story of his early childhood. At the age of four he came to his mother and said: “If you let me have five cents, T will make you semething beautiful” With the nickel in his hand he rushed down tha block to the sta. tienery store. There he pushed the cofn acreas the counter and re. 1 eelved {n return a pack of bright ,colored papers. FEagerly he ran jhome and set to work. He cut his papers eut in diffe; ent shapes, fitted them neatly to- gether and mounted them in a de- sign which had been burning in his mind ever since he had first seen 1tha papers on display in the shop windew. He worked intently for an heur. Then with the finished work in his hand he walked proudly to where his mother sat with her mending basket. “Look, mother, look. See what Y made for you." His mother lifted | her eyes from her work, a little an- noyed at the interruption. “Oh,” she said in a quiet, ehill voice. “Is that all? T thought you said you were going to make me something beautiful.” After 30 vears Edwin remember- ed the incident with pain. How much it colored his creative impulses i through life it is impessible to tell. ! But we may be sure that it takes only a few such experiences, each | one reinforcing the other, to affect a child’s whole attitude toward the { particular phase of his interests which is involved. | When the child’s first creative ef- forts in celor and design or in me- | chanics and construction meet with cold reeeption from the person | whose approval is most necesaary, he may well become discouraged and leave the work fer which he is best fitted. Every sreative effort, no matter how crude, should be greeted with warmth and appreciation. DON'T LIKE COTOR Paris, Dec. 13.

In Brooklyn's congested immigrant { quarter, she opened her first birth control clinic. In 10 days, 800 wo- men had applied for help. Her work came under the eyes of the police. She was arrested and sen. tenced to 30 daya in jail, for vio- lating the Anthony Comstock law that made it a felony to give any information on birth control.
