RAY WEST'S rather vapid Dame of "Ddbutanle II" tor bit private :ar had been a polite, nose-thutntilnit gesture or hit own toward his wife, It waa no secret tbat be bad named the car after her ' Eleanor West had been a princess among debutantes In Washington gay social and diplomatic circle. Bli had been possessed of a cultivated beauty and a finishing school vi vacity, and when sbe reclaimed tbe position tbat bad been bera before she married Raybrrne West, sbe was older in years, not In values. She still cultivated ner beauty as siduously and the effervescent and Innocuous vivacity bred of French governesses, exclusive finishing schools, and bachelor cotillions was still the foundation of ber charm. She blended tbe mode of life of two generations. She patronized the arts, gave elaborate balls, and led fashionable drives to provide starv- lng Zulus with collar butons. On the other hand, she held gay youthful cocktail soirees, skirmished provocatively with handsome young men, and followed occasional affairs to tbelr logical conclusion. "You won't enjoy it at all," Puff told Terry darkly as they had a bite of supper In a smart little restaurant near DuPont Circle. "You can have a lot more fun stringing along with mo tonight I have a swell party on Lots of fun." "This Is just a stopover. Puff. I have business In New York, and all my luggage la In a hotel up there." "What hotel?" Wlllett didn't see wbat difference that made, but he told her. "Well, we can tave a lot of fun In New York, too. I know that town like the palm of my hand." "I'm not looking for fun oiactly." "You never have, 1 think," said the glrL "High time you were get ting on to yourself." They went out on the sidewalk and called taxis. In the door of hers Puff paused. "If you don't find Allaire," she said, "1 lire at the Mayflower, big boy." She smiled at him. "Call, come In person, or send out thought waves. We can have a lot of fun." She was gone. Terry looked after nor a moment. Pretty girl with dark hair seeming to endow ber eyes with that violet color and so what? Good luck to the lieutenant from Fort Myer whose saber had been Junked by Congress. Then he climbed Into his taxi and gave tbe address Puff bad furnished bim. Tbe West home was a stone man alon on Massachusetts Avenue with a courtyard guarded by a wall and two large black drawbridge-like doors, one labeled "In" and the other "Out." Terry got out before tbe lighted portico and regarded the place curi ously a moment. He never would have thought tbat girl had so much money. Funny world. Some people sweat all tbelr lives and stayed broke, and others bought a grosa of ea nreeics and a deck chair every time the tun got too hot. "pHE butler who answered tbe door 1 looked a little surprised. It was that Interlude before the dinner hour md this young man not only had no venlng clothes, but there had boon Do word to expect him. He would Ice It Miss West was at home. Wlllett came Into a broad hall lit by great crystal chandeliers shining down on a parquet floor. He sal down In a chair and twirled his hat around ilmlessly In his bands. Then the butler returned and utn ired him Into a small reception room a strange room for that cold man lion of stone and crystal. There was a warm lomugjr air about It the kind of place tbat reminded one of a corner of a stnok lng room on I luxurious ocean liner tbe small tailing ship model on the mantel piece, the dark rug. and an Imper septlble feeling of vibration that imauatcd from tbe solid nrmness of the furniture, the slow-tlcklng brain bound clock, and the regularly paced dimmed lights tunported by little rods of grilled Iron from oaken walls. ".Miss Went ulll receive you here, sir." said tbe butler. "Thank you very much," (aid Wll Ittt politely.

It seemed a long time before Al .aire anally appeared. It waa qultt a time. Wlllett bad started his tblni iliareL But suddenly sbe waa tbere! She made him tblnk of a ellra tbafl of tllver as sbe stood on tbe thresh old, an evening gown of something ahimmeilng clinging closely about her. For a moment neither spoke, l'bey looked at each other almost as If searching for something. Sllvtr la a cold color and to was an Intangible current In tbe air like a draught coming from tome unknown place. Terry tensed that Immediately. He bad a crazy Idea tbat be was being Inspected like a prize oull. Tbe girl made no move. "Hello," he said, and grinned "Surprised to see me7" The girl nodded ber head grace ful. "1 didn't believe It at flrst," tbe talc calmly. "Of all people the en glueor. What are you doing In a civilized part ol the world? Why. I'd rather Imagined you'd be In dark est Africa by now." "That's quite a distance from South America." "Pretty far," she agieed. "to run." SHE came Into the room and ex tended a hand. A French diplo mat would undoubtedly have kissed It; there was something of that In her manner. Wlllett held It, unre sponsive, in his. Her dark eyes, ca pable of saying so much, seemed only politely expectant "Yes," sbe said, withdrawing her hand, "I bad thought of you In dark est Africa In a pith helmet, slugging whiskey from a demijohn over your shoulder and romantically defying the Jungle to put up a thirty-story grass hut for the Tlmbuctu Walsi Garment Company, Incorporated. Do sit down." Willet sat down. He felt vaguely disappointed there was something vibrant and lively missing here. Sur prise, he could have understood, bul not this total lack of spontaneity. 1 ran across your trail today," he said Anally. "Met your father on the Washington train." He often uses the 'Old Domln Ion,' " she acceded. There waa another silence. Well. that was that Her father often used the "Old Dominion." Good thing that was settled. I thought I'd follow you up," he resumed. "Did you? I'm very gratified, but why?" Why? Perfectly natural question of course, but this barrier of coolness was beginning to annoy blm. She seemed a part of the cold reserved beauty of her home. 1 wanted to see you again. After all," be pointed out, with a brief- appearing smile, "you saved my life." He d bad his life saved and saved lives himself live or six times In the course of his hectic racing existence. It hadnt been anything particular notoworthy until this girl had cov ered blm. She flushed slightly, but said noth ing. Again he was disappointed. Did you get off all right?" be asked abrutply. "Very well, thanks, Mr. Fox saw to It admirably." George Is good at that kind of thing." 1 don't know what I would have done without him. He stood by won dorfully." She waved a hand to dis miss the subject "Well. Mr. Wlllett, what lies bofore you now?" II J didn't answer Immediately. He was trying to figure out this strongs bohavlor. "You know," he snld slowly, "you act as though you'd seen me once In your llfo." Allaire gave a surprised little laugh. "How uany times, exactly, have 1 soon you?" Once." said Wlllett. "It didn't make much Impression on you." it was a most entertaining eve- nlng."she corrected. Entertaining evening! It bad been a vital evening in his life, that'i what It bad been. And she called II entertaining.

Strange as It seems, the badge or style In metropolitan areas has also been the badge of poverty In cer taiu rural European districts. Peas ant girls In Holland, Germany, and some parts of France, have their hair bobbed so they can sell It to wJg-mnkers. This practice, much more prevalent a tew years ago than now, paid them well when women In style had to have additional strands of hair to supplement their natural hair. Today the theater and movies are the cnlef users of human hair wigs.
