pee ~ Two-Minute ANY otherw rough, yell M We roca, elbows encourages Ding of them and insufficient drying By Pauline Furlong Copyright, 1018, by The Press Publishing Ct How to Make Your Elbows Smooth Beauty Chats | (The New York Evening World), and White vise beautiful arms are spoiled by low, calloused elbows, and you should give as much care to preventing or correcting this as you do to the rest of the arms, Leaning on the this condition, and infrequent scrub- are also frequent causes, The simplest treatment for beautifying the elbows and making them smooth and white is to twist each one in half a grapefruit, as shown to- day. Surely all of you know the bi the grapefruit 1s larger and therefore easier to use and brings practically the same results as lemon juice, Glycerine massaged into elbows which are dark and calloused also helps materially in softening, smooth- ing and bleaching them. Little pads made from absorbent cotton, saturated with glycerine or some good cold cream, may also be tied to the el- bows during the night and kept on them during the day also if you are in the habit of leaning on your el- bows, which encourages thickening of the skin over them, Arm oxercises should be practised, keeping the arms tensed, if the el- bows are bony and prominent, and when the arms are scrawny or heavy with superfluous fat they should al- ways be covered to below the elbows at least to hide these disfigurements, Nothing 1s more smooth, round, white, dimpled elbow, but unfortunately few of that kind are frequently displayed. Most wom- en make @ great mistake, in my per- sonal opinion, when they leave to public View unsightly or unshapely arms, shoulders and hands, but for some unknown reason they seem wholly oblivious to these disfigure- Answers to Health and Beauty Questions.

Therefore you need not be afraid of me, And it will better for yourself as well as for your son if you tell me the truth,” Haltingly Mri Muller much of what had gone before~the sorrow of her own life. When she had obeyed his behest and somewhat controlled the stress of her emotion Muller ordered his carriage and they drove together to the flat of Mrs. Menger, All they could find out there was that a letter recolved by Katle's sister from Karl onner had borne a Hungarian stamp. This seemed to suggest something to Mrs, Tonner, and Muller asked her what it was. “L think be must be in Pressbur she said, apparently greatly relieved, Muller told Mrs. Menger to come to , his house whenever she had any news that would interest Mrs, Tonner, Then he led the latter in to the waiting ca they drove through th suw that his companion was much sasier In her mind, The tension in er face relaxed, It was 4 long drive and neither spoke until they were carly home. ‘Then Muller said gen- uy?

ULLER reached Preash’ that evening after midnight and went to a hotel. He was up jain at 7 and walked over to tho theatre, The bills for the performance of the day before were still banging on the boards, and an attendant camo out to change them a@ the detective stood th “This le the bill for to-day, sir,” said the man, “That's what we gave yes- terday,” Muller inquired about Mr. von Lan- kowits and the attendant sorugged ouldere with a # h, he never his name on the bill," he said, “He sings along with the res of them tn the chorus.” A silver plece pressed into the man's hand brought forth the necessary In- formation regarding tho address of the young chorus singer, As it was at a considerable distance from the theatre Muller set out tn spite of the eurly hour.

On the door were two vinit~ ing cards decorated with a crest of arms and a crown, On the one card stood the name “He: Amelie Lankowltz de faly Underneath waa written in tui “Lea- sons in Dancing and Deportment.” The other card showed t name of young Lankowits. The writing on the first card gave Muller the excuse that he needed to enter the apartment, and he pressed the button at once. Ho had to wait some time Finally he heard steps coming to the door from another di- rection and it was opened a@ tiny crack. “What do you want?” asked a emall plu woman whose untidy gray bead showed in the opening. , o'cl: “I would like to speak to Mra, von Lankowitt; “Tam Mrs, von Lankowits.” Muller excused his early coming by saying that no was busy the rest of the day, but that he wanted to speak about dancing lessons for his niece This won the confidence of the wom: on the other side of the door and asked him to come in, His gentle flattery won her heart and she told him all he wanted to know, Her son had @ friend staying g with him, she said, @ nervous young man, who geemed to be uneasy all the time, who only came Sunday evening and was now going away again that very day. At the present minent the young gentlemen were out on an ex-| cursion, Just where the old lady did not know, ®he did know, however, that the friend, who had been in- troduced to her as Karl ‘Tonner, in- tended to leave Preasburg by the 6 ck train, When Muller had learned all this, he took his farewell, promising that Mrs. von Lankow!ts should hear from him the very next day regarding the essons An hour before train time he went to the station, took his ticket, ordered & compartinent reserved for ‘him and then strolled about, apparently caro- less but in reality watching every young man who passed him The experienced detective had by this time made up his mind that Leo- pold Erlach had been murdered and his body hidden somewhere, But since the last evening he no ionger considered Karl Tonner as the pos. sible criminal, For in his mind crime euch as he now believed to hav been committed needed careful cold. blooded preparation and @ nerve and seif-control of which this young vaga- bond would hardly be in possession, Muller indulged tn @ quiet laugh at his own expense just now.
