Chapter II NEW ALLY t HAD packed my bag and was In the act of fastening the clasp. when a tap at the knocker an Bounced that Moll? had returned. I beard Jerry open the front door, and emerging from my bedroom, I found them waiting for me In the hall. Jerry picked up a couple of suit eases which were standing on the mat "Do yon mind sitting behind and looking after the baggage, Nick?" he Inquired. "Are you referring to Molly!" I auked. ' He grinned. "Molly says she'd prefer to come In front with me." "I're never been driven by a baronet," explained Molly. "I rather want to know what It feels like." We passed through the gate Into th narrow Jane outside, where a 'large car waa blocking up the fair iway. I kept sharp look-out while .we packed ourselves In and rounded the corner Into the main road, but, as tar as I could see, no one ap peared to be taking the least Inter est In our departure. . During the first hundred yards or o I glanced back once or twice through the small window behind me; then, satisfied that we were not being followed, I lighted a olgaret and ceased to trouble myself any further In the matter. After all. If they had the number of tbe car. It .would be easy enough for them to discover the owner's name without trailing us openly through the streets of London. It was just on twelve o'clock when we turned out of the crowded Strand into tbe courtyard ot tbe Milan Ho tel. The commissionaire on duty evi dently recognized Jerry, for as he atepped forward to open the door, Jje touched his cap with a respectful smile ot welcome. "Haven't seen yon for quite a tlmo, sir." "No, I've been leading the simple life," said Jerry. He gave instruc tions that the two suit-cases should be taken Inside, and making our way through the revolving door, we en tered the lounge. Owing to the easi ness of the hour it was still com paratively empty. Jerry took me by the arm. "Shall Iitalk to 'em?" he suggested. "They khow me pretty well here, and 1 11 make sure they give her a decent room and don't overcharge hor." "Illght you are," I agreed. "I'll get seat over there in the corner and erder something to drink." I strolled across to where I saw a comfortable looking settee, one-half ef . which was partly bidden behind a giant palm. There was the obvious chance that at any moment someone I knew might walk In, and I had no wish either to be stared at or con gratulated. Close to the place I was making or stood a small page-boy. As I jached my destination he startejl rward with the obvious intention ft relieving me of my hat: then, ulllng up short, he remained there s though glued to the spot, htrblue eyes fixed upon ma In a kind of In credulous astonishment. Somehow cr other his face seemed vaguely fa miliar. 3 BECKONED to him and, pulling himself together, he came up to where I was sitting. "What's the matter?" I inquired. You look aa If you'd seen a ghost" He crimsoned violently. "Beg par don, sir, but arent you Mr. Trench?" , "That's so," I replied. "Ton wouldn't remember me, sir. 41y names Jimmy Fox. You you looked at some things ot mine down t the drawing-class in Battersea last May." Directly he apoke It came back to pus at once. A friend ot mine called Francis, wbo was Interested In a ejebeme for giving free art teaching to working-class lads, had aked me to drop In one erenlng and Inspect some of their efforts. I hsd been par ticularly struck by the work ef the smallest boy there, a dlrty-fscrd, tousle headed urchin who was obvi ously gifted with a streak of real lalenL Pleased by bla keenness and in telligence J jiad presented him with By VICTOR BRIDGES .19 of bob to buy himself some ..-per and pencils. It was the same boy wbo was standing In front of me now, though In his tight-fitting uniform and with bis smoothly brushed hair he looked so smart and clean that I had momentarily tailed to recognize biro. , "Of course I remember you now,, Jimmy," I said. "It was those beaut!-' fill buttons ot yours that put me off. Besides, you've grown such a lot since I laat you." He brushed again. i "How long have you been here?" I asked. "Two months, sir. Mr. Francis, he got me the Job." "Still keen about drawing?" I "Tes, sir rather, sir! I don't get' the chance to go to no classes now; bave to do it at odd tlmea when I ain't on duty." "Well, I'm pleased you're keeping it up," I said. "I shall probably be here tomorrow, and it you like to bring some of your work with you I'll bare a look at it." Ills eyea brightened. "Will yon really, sir? It's awfuly kind of you." He hesitated and then came a step nearer. "You won't be angry with me, air, but oh, sir I was so glad to aea aa how you'd got off. I I . . ." "That's all right, Jimmy," I In terrupted. "Very nice of yeu to wor ry about me." I handed him my hat. "Just shove this in the cloak-room, and then send along tbe waiter. And, by the way," I added, "don't men tion wbo f am to any of the others. I don't want to bave the whole staff coming round and gaping at me." "I shan't say a word, air." Ha hurried off, and after a brief Interval, an lmpasslve-looklng flun key arrived to take my Instructions. I gave him my order, and I waa sit ting unobtrusively In my corner waiting for It to materialize wben I saw Molly and Jerry approaching from the reception office. "It's all arranged," announced Jerry, aa they came up. "I apoke to the manager and he'a given her a nice room on the fourth floor. A pound a day for bed and breakfast She'll lunch and dine with us." Molly seated herself beside me. "I suppose it's all real," she said. "Just at present I feel as if I could hardly believe It." NEW YORK (UP) A kitchen de signed to save a housewife a thou sand steps a day waa awarded first prize in a national competition lust held by The Architectural i Forum. I Martin Elklnd and Joseph Ro Iberta. New York architects." made I the winning design. It carries out faithfully the latest edict of do mestic science experts that working surfaces In the Ideal kitchen should be continuous along one or two sides of the room. Over the continuous working sur face are grouped all the cabinets In which utensils and other kitchen psrsphernalla are atored. One corner of the room contains a lounge seat dinette, horse-shoe shaped. A stain less metnl sink Is part of the .con tinuous working surface on one side of the room, and an electric dish washer Is part of the modern gad getry. A flat top electrlo range, with working surfaces at both sides on a level with the range top, is an other feature. There were 233 designs submit ted In the competition. Second prize went to Don E. Hatch of the arch itectural firm of Hood and Foull houx. New York: third prize to Bergman 8. Letzler, of Louisville. Ky.: routh prize to Alfred N. Boell of New York: fifth prize to Charlew O. Ramsey, Harold a. Sleeper and J. Gilbert Werle of New York, and sixth prize to Herbert O. Hanson, Chicago. GEORGE, who waa sitting In front of my chair, looked up at me with his beautiful amber-colored eyes. Then, very solemnly, he pre sented me with a paw, "I know what that means," I said. ' "You want me to take you for a walk." He gave a gentle whine, and awlshed his tall aottly to and fro. "We must wait till master's ready," I explained. "He'a washing himself ait preaent, and it wouldn't be polite to go out and leave him be hind." Aa I spoke Dawson entered the room. He waa carrying a folded pa per on a silver tray, and his clean shaven features wore their custom ary expression of slightly fatigued boredom. "I thought you might like to see tbe Dally Mall, air?" X released George's paw and took the paper. "Thank you, Dawson," I aald. "Is there any news!" "Nothing particular, sir, except that they've scratched the favorite for tbe Cesarewltcb." "I hoped you haven't baoked It?" I Inquired sympathetically. "Not to any aerlous extent, sir." He retired to the door. "Sir Jerrold has finished his bath, sir. He asked me to say that he will be with you In a tew mlnutos." Lett alone with George, I glanced carelessly through the principal headlines. As Dawson had said, nothing ot any burning Importance seemed to have occurred during tba past twenty-four hours, and even tually, abandoning my search for In formation, I got up and sauntered across to the open window, ' It was a pleasant look-out, espe cially to a man who had been cooped up for six weeks In Wandsworth Jail. The trees In the Embankment Gardens were atlll In full leaf, and beyond their green tops, the river a sheet ot silver in the bright Sep tember sunshine curved Its way towards the distant arches of Water loo Bridge. Right In front of me a heavily laden barge was drifting along slow ly with the tide. I watched It envf. ously, and I waa Just thinking how vastly I should enjoy a sniff ot the sea myself, when the door opened and Jerry made his appearance, j He greeted me wun a oisarminc smile.

So nays Tobe', International style authority and fashion merchandising counwlor to over 100 of America's leading department store and nhops. The real point, according to Tobe, la that what count with women Is not beauty In clothes but smart ness and the best dressed woman Is the one whose clothes are smartest. "Women talk about clothes being 'beautiful' and 'lovely'," said Tobe, "but a little thought quickly estab lishes the fact that women's clothes ore not beautiful and probably never have been. If you look through the advertisements .of & newspaper or magazine of five or six years ago, you laugh and say to yourself: 'How did we ever wear such awful looking things!' But at that past time you described those same dresses as 'beautiful' and lovely," and laugh ed instead at the clothing oi the decade before. And five years from now, you may be sure, we alAll think the 'lovely' clothes of today are thoroughly unattractive!" The acid test of beauty, accord ing to this authority. In its ability to endure time. A painting by Leonardo da Vlncl Is as beautiful today as it was when that great artist painted It. So it Is, she says, with all objects that are truly 'beautiful They do not become less beautiful with the advance of time. "The Important thing to observe, is that 'beauty' la essentially an unimportant consideration In what women wear," explains Tobe. 'What really counts Is whether clothes are smart. That Is the real standard." CHRISTMAS TIME DEVICE FOR LIFEBOAT WASHINGTON (UP) Ocean dls- r asters, resulting from Inability to launch lifeboats, will no longer be ft mssnce of the sea, In the opinion of Xir. Charles Hunt, Washington In ventor and former optometrist, mho recently has completed a lifeboat launching device which operates with speed and efficiency. It takes two men only one min ute' to hoist Dr. Hunt equipped lifeboat over the side and swing H Mfely to the water from listing ship. A ixal with full crew was Uumsd oi leue) uaieluif 16 knot sn Hour during a test In New York harbor, A simultaneous release ef ends of the lifeboats from jdsvits eliminates the danger i siring On man can release the boat. Previously the danger was In t he release of one before the other and thus spilling the occu pant Into the water. This occurred In the Morro Castle disaster. Certlllcates to Dr. Hunt from the coast guard attest the fart that the have found the new device to work with efiicieniy. Dr. Hunt turned to the field ot Invention upon the advi.-e of Thorn sa A Kdlson. He worked with the "Witsrd" for a short time and then his Interest turned to marine safety. Bf GLUYAS WILLIAMS !
