Seepanenererere ean » York and its suburbs, who hav? Spent most of their lives in apart. ments, are going to show, through The Bvening World, how the ideally conven- fent and comfortable four-room apart- ment shov'4 be arranged. ‘Those among the thousands who pro- f@uce the best designs will win cash awards amounting to $225. ‘The competition is open to all women whe are not professionally engaged in architecture or building. The plans do not need to be finished designs, It is only Mecessary that they show plainly the arrangement the sender offers in the competition. The maker of the very best plan of all those submitted will receive an award of $50. The three plans that are almost as good as the best will be awarded $25 each, and ten others next in line will win awards of $10 each, The committee which will pass upon the plans and make the awards is made up of Mrs. Marcia Mead, architect, No. 248 ast 34th Street.

ONE GOOD ORIGINAL IDEA, a piece of paper, a pencil and a ruter are about all the necessary equipment for the com- petition. None of the others is so im- portant as THE IDEA.

Competition just the opportunity they have waited for, through years of} practical housekeeping experience, to express their ideas of convenience and efficiency. It also shows that women are not afraid to set down theim ideas of an apartment plan on paper. ‘The ab- gence from the competition of techni- ¢al conditions makes it easy to com- pete and the blank plans being | from day to day furnish the best pos- sible basis for the work of contest- ants. The plans so far recetved bear wit- ness to the fact that \vomen have the} courage gained through experience to express themselves freely, especially in the matter of kitcher arrangements. The kitchen of to-day, a notable im- Provement oyer the kitchens of ten Years ago, is still unequal to the de- sires and needs of the housekeeper. Women have learned that the sav- ing of steps and the elimination of heavy work are the most important reforms which can be applied in apartment planning. Men have no piace in The Evening World competition. if there are ferious shortcomings in the apart- ments of to-day, they belong to the men who designed them—they have been responsible for over 95 per cent. of the total construction. ‘Men have few ideas for apartments that are based upon actual every day experiencé. They don't do the work of the apartments. Conse- quently they can have no adequate conception of the importance of those things that women regard as indis- pensable. They know these things from hearsay only. And althoygh the architect, the builder and the land- lord may want to please the tenants by providing the right housckeeping facilities, they just don't know. anette The Evening World’s Kiddie Klub Korner ‘Copyright, 1922, (Mew York Frening World) by Poem Pubtishing On Conducted by Eleanor Schorer $$ e+ four-room and bath apartment on this i that will be printed in The Evening World this we with pencil just how you would divide the space for rooms and the u you would a where you would "have windows and clo: kitchen floor plana indicate the position of each range, spaces in walls to indicate doors.

Morally, I’m convinced of it."’ “Even though they deny tt." “Practically they admitted rather than denied.’* “Do you think it was quite straight, Kirby, to go to Miss Harriman with such a trumped-up charge? I don’t. 1 confess I'm surprised at you." In voice and expression James showed his disappointment. “It isn't a trumped-up charge. 1 wanted to know the truth from her, “Why didn't you go to Jack, then?"" “I didn’t know at that time Jack was the man with her.’ “You don't know it now. You surely don't think for a moment that she had anything to do with Uncle James's death." “No; not in the sense that she helped to bring it about. But she knows somethin’ she’s hidin’,"* “Grant for the sake of argument that she was in Uncle's room that aight. Your friend Miss Rose Mc- Lean was there, too—by her own con- fession, When she came to Jack and me with her story, we respected it. Yet you go to our friend and distress her by implications, Was that gene- rous? Was it even fair?"" The cattleman stood convicted at the bar of his own judgment. “I'm sorry you feel that way, James. Perhaps I was wrong. But you want to remember that I wasn’t askin’ about what she knew with any idea of makin’ it public or tellin’ the police. I meant to keep it under my own hat to help run down a cold- blooded murderer. He returned to the subject of the bond. It seemed to him best, he said, in view bf Jack's feeling, to get other bondsmen.

He finds the apartment dark, hears some one move, grasps a woman by the band and is struck on the chin and knocked out. Recovering, he finds a glove belong- ing to “Wild Rose” McLean and a nute from Cunningham's valet, HORIKAWA, saying the Hulls had called and said Mane would return later. In an inner room Lane finds Cunningham’s dead body, “bound to a chair, a bullet hole in the head. There is a ring at the door, he leaves the room by the fire escape and is seen by CHUCK ELLIS, a reporter. Lane phones the police of the murder. The man described by the Hulls and Ellis comes first under suspicion as Cun- ningham’s slayer. The Hulls lie about the time at which Lane passed their door, but identify him and he is arrested for murder. A woman in black faints at the hearing. Lane identifies her as the original of a portrait signed “Always Phyllis” found in his uncle’s rooms. Lane's cousins secure his re- lease on bond and join him in his efforts to solve the mystery. Rose Mc- Lean Joins Lane and his cousins in their efforts to clear up the mystery and tells her story to the Cunninghams. Her reference to the odor of violet perfume she detects in Cunningham's apartment appears to have much interest to the nephew. Lane confronts OSCAR OLSON, a farmer, with the charge that he threatened Cunning be life in a letter and finds Olson was in Denver when Cunningham was ‘illed. COLE SANBORN, a rough rider friend, joins Lane and Rose McLean in the search for Cunningham's slayer. While making investigations Lane and Sanborn find the dead body of Horikawa, the valet, bound to a bed in the apartment next to that in which Cunningham's body was found. Lane calls upon PHYLLIS CUNNINGHAM, his uncle’s fiancee, and questions her about her visit to the apartment the night of the murder. She breaks down and Jack Cunningham, who appears on the scene, denounces Lane for his questioning. eee walked to the court-house. An auto- mobile, new and of an expensive make, was standing by the curb. Just as Kirby and Rose reached the ma- chine a young man ran down the steps of the court-house and stepped into the car, The man was Jack Cunningham. The veiled young woman beside him Kirby recognized as Phyllis Harriman. Cunningham caught sight of his cousin and anger flushed his face. ‘The rough rider watched the car move down the hill, ‘I've made a mistake," he told his companion. “'I told James I was comin’ here to-day. He let Jack know, an’ he's beat us ep it"? Rose caught her friend’s arm as they were passing through the hall. “Kirby, do you suppose your cousins really know Esther was married to your uncle. Do you think they can be trying to keep it quiet so she can’t claim the estate?"’ He stopped in his stride. “I shouldn't wonder if you haven't rung the bull's-eye, pardner,” he told her. ‘We ought to know right soon now. The clerk in the recorder’s office forgets to turn in his certificate, the clerk said as he closed the book. “Old Rankin is the worst that way. He forgets. You might look him up. Kirby slipped the clerk a dollar and turned away. Rankin was a friendly, white-haired old gentleman, and he made them very much at home under the im- pression they had come to get mar- ried. ‘ He couldn't find the license and he couldn't remember much. His wife and daughter might recall the cere- mony but they were away on a visit. “Do you know when Mrs. Rankin and your daughter wifl be home?" “By next Tuesday, at the latest. Perhaps you can call again. I trust there was nothing irregular about the marriage 5 “Not so far as we know.” Kirby and Rose walked back to the court-house. The rough rider left the required fee for a copy of the certificate with the clerk and a bank note to keep his memory jogged up. “Soon as Mrs. Rankin comes home, will you call her up and remind her about lookin’ for the certificate?’ he asked. s ter t arig athe) teenie “reetwes overs |imicieire/ Li willietiys mot) te Wavel tt, “Help yourself.

Somehow, this affair did not seem to fit in with what he knew of his uncle. The eyes of Rose gleamed with de- termination. Her jaw set.

His back was turned toward them, Kirby turned the pages of the book. He and Rose looked them over together. They covered the record for three months without finding anything of interest.
