hiring the dws of Ancient Greece s great festivity was held every fourth year at Olympia. At this time musicians, artists, poets and athleteermet in competition. 8o sacred was the carnival amongst the Greek States that if they were at war, fighting ceased until the games were over.

We all know clothes can work wonders with woman's looks.

A stylist writing in the London Daily Mirror remarks that she “ould go further and say that they can work wonders with her temper, her seffconfidencc and even her wit.

that makes the very utmost of your looks, your charm, your per- sonality. you do not need a bottom- less bank account and cupboard full of satin and sables.

You need taste, common sense and ruthless honesty. It doesn't even matter if you only know a lit- tle about fashion provided you know a lot about yourseif. You've got to develop an eye which tells you infalllbly about any garment. not “Is this the very latest thing?" but "Is this right for me?" PLAIN GIRLS. First and foremost. study your type. If you're not conventionally pretty, don't sigh about lt. Don't try to compete with the chocolate- box girls by wearing conventionally p:etty clothes. Find a smart, de- finite way of doing your hair; wear amusing things with a styie of their ouui and your own . Girls with the plainest faces often have prettiest figures. If that's the case with you. play it up for all it's worth. So many girls just because they've got poor skin or long noses, or small eyes, dress in a timid. nondescript. ugly- sister . rt of way, with the result that the world treats them as if they were ugly sisters, and they get more depressed every day. The plalner you are. the better and more interestingly you should dress. A face is only about a seventh part of you anyway. Even if you're almost ugly (not a wo- man in a million is really ugly) ignore the fact. Be gallant about your shcrtcommings, dress yourself with as much care as if your face were your fortune, and you'll find _ l gc. every bit as much fun and attention as if you were a’ raving, tearing beauty.

A TRANSFORMATION

"I have a friend who is not con- ventionally pretty and makes no bones ' about it" the stylist we quote above writes. “She has a. clear-cut, extremely intelligent face, but she hasn't big eyes or regular features or any magazine- cover lusciousness. Yet everyone surrenders to her charm and men fight to take her out to dinner. “An Eton crop suits her, and she wisely sticks to it. She usually even in the evening, wears rather severe, .ailored looking clothes she fuss a" i frills. But occasionally she slips us. She yields to the temptation to look fluffy and feminine.

"One day I met her in a draped printed frock and a big hat. The dress, which needed curves to round it out, made her look scraggy in- stead cf slender the drooping hat, with no hair showing under it- emphasized the angularity of her i c a d aged her by ten years. COLOR SI-IY “The next day she had wisely re- verted to ‘clothes that really suited her, a slick dark blue linen frock with a white pique collar like a schoolgirls and a beret on cne side of her sleek head. You've never seen such a transformation. She was piquant, attractive and, with her boyish figure and close- crcpped head she looked about sixteen.“

Lots oi’ woman arecolor-shy. Es- pecially the ones with rather timid. negative dispositions seem to think it safer to stick to black or dark brown or neutral drabs. Yet those are just the ones who need color to bring them out and make them interesting. You need either a. vivid complexion or a vivid per- sonality not to be eclipsed by dark or neutral clothes.

One girl who is really extremely pretty, has soft brown hair, a pale skin. grey eyes and delicate lit- tle features. But she's also ex- tremely timid, and-though she is a dellghtfull companion "when you gct to know her," lots of people. men especially haven't the pati- ence to get to know her.

She's got a fatal passion for brown which makes red look washed out and more indecisive still, with the result that people talk of her. if they mention her at all. as “that pale girl in the brown frock."

.A SUCCESS

The other day a friend took her by force and made her buy a frock and cape outfit of pale blue wool crepe.

“I'm sure blue won't suit me, Ann." she said when she saw it on the hanger But when she slipped into it, she looked a different girl. ‘The soft blue threw up the delicacy of her skin. brought out golden light in red brown hair. made her grey eyes look like for- get-me-nots.

Next day the two friends went to a party together. And the most attractive man in the room. the one whom all the dashing young things were fighting for came over and whispered: "Ann, will you introduce ~ to that exquisite girl in blue,"

When Ann left, they were-sitting together in a corner, and she was talking with positive animation. It's marvelous with the con- fedence that she's looking lfir very girdle-It will given even the shyest

77w Murder at Hazelmoor

By AGATHA CHRISTIE

You are sure they hadn't met Captain Irevelyan before?"

The Major scouted the idea. Trev- elyan would have said something to him. No, he was as astonished him- self as anyone could be.

"What was Mrs. Willeti/s attitude towards Captain Trevelyan?" asked Emily. “Did she try to avoid him?” A faint chuckle came from the ajor.

“No. indeed she didn't. PestercJ the life out of him-always asking him to come and see them."

“Oh!" said Emily thoughtfully. She paused and then said: "So she might-just possibly she might have taken Slttaford House just on pur- pose to get acquainted with Captain Trevelyan.”

“Well," the major seemed to turn it over in his mind. “Yes, I suppose she might have. Rather an ex- pensive way of doing things."

"I wonder," said Emily.

"I'm: inspector thought of that too." said Burnaby. Emily felt a sudden irritation

against Isnpector Narracott, Every- thing that she thought of seemed to have already been thought of by the Inspector. It was galling to a young woman who prided herself on being sharper than other people.

She rose and held out her hand. "Thank you very much," she said simply. »

“I wish I could help your more," said the Major. “At any rate count on me for anything you want." >

"Thank you,” said Emily. “I will." '

"Good-by, sir," said Enderby. "I shall be along in the morning with my camera you know."

Burnaby granted.

Emily and Charles retraced their steps to Mrs. Curtis's.

"Come into my room, I want to talk to you," said Emily. She sat on the one chair and Charles sat on the bed.

"Now, listen," she said. "f think I've got a kind of starting point. I may be wrong and I may be right.

' At any rate it's an idea."

CHAPTER I4

“I think a. lot hinges on this table turning business." Emily told Endor- by. "You've done this table turning or tipping, haven't you?"

"Oh, yes, now and then. Not ser- ious, you know." “No, of course not. It's the kind of thing one does on a. wet after- noon, and everyone accuses every- one of shoving. Well, if you've play- ed it you know what happens. The table starts spelling out, say a name; well, it's a name somebody knows. Very often they recognize it at once and hope it isn't going to be that, and all the time uncon- sciously they are what one calls shoving.) mean sort of recognizing things makes one give an involun-

can be twisted about the throat several times.

Three fashion trends contribute to costume jewelry designs this season-the Renaissance, the Silver Jubilee and the Oriental, launched by Schinparelli and Alix last spring. Renaissance jewels are as colorful as that famous period, with vari-colored stones in massive designs set in gold. carved in elaborately. This brings about the revival of the brooch.

IIEIRLOOMS POLISHED UP‘

The Jubilee brought out the family heirlooms. This is the year to polish up rings, bracelets, ear- rings, tiaras and brooches that be- longed to your ancestors. If you haven't any, designers of costume jewelry are ready to supply you with pieces that look 01d and authentic. One especially nice set includes earrings, bracelet and a huge brooch of yellow gold with clusters of seed pearls.

Another afiennath of the celebra- tion in honor of the King is the dog collar. This old style hasn't been revived for dowagers alone, however- a young ‘throat looks lovely when encircled by a sleek black velvet band, fastened at the front with a rhinestone pin. or by several strands of pears, held to- gether by a rhinestone ornament of some type-

The Oriental influence encour- ages jewelry generally. East Indian women always have bedecked them- selves with jewels, sometimes as part of n. reiigous ceremony, as a sign of their marital status or simply because they have an in- nate love for personal adornment Semipreclcus stones fit into the new Oriental picture. So do heavy gold and silver ornaments.

RIIINESTONES LIKE REAL GEMS

Rhinestones faithfully follow ml stone designs. A good many jewelry houses employ men and woman who have worked for years with real diamonds with the res- ult that ll. lakes meticulous scru- tiny to tell whether n. girl has on a diamond bracelet or one or rhinestones.

Baguettes still are popular and, in addition, rose-cut stones as well as pear-shaped ones, particularly in simulated rubles. emerafds and‘ sapphires, have an important place in the jewelry fashions for fall. Pearls, wozn separately and combined with lrincstones are more widely recommended than’ they have been for years. You may wear them with everything. in- eluding sports dresses and sweat- Qffl.

"Yes, that's true." agreed Mr. Enderby.

“I don't believe for a moment in spirits or anything like that. But supposing that one of those people who were playing knew what Cap- tain ‘It-evelyan was being murdered lat that minute-—"

"Oh, I say," protested Charles, "that's awfully far fetched."

"Well, it needn't be quite so crude as that. Yes, I think it must be. We are just taking a hypothesis-that's all. We are asserting that some- body knew Captain Trevelyan was dead and absolutely couldn't hide their knowledge. The table betray- ed them."

“It's awfully ingenious," said Charles, "but I don't believe for a minute it's true."

"We'll assume that it is true," said Emily firmly. "I am sure that in detection of crime you mustn't be afraid t0 assume things."

"Oh, I'm quite agreeable," said Mr. Enderby. "We'll assume that it is true-anything you like."

"So what we have to do," said Emily, "is to consider very care- fully the people who were playing. To begin with there's Major Burn- aby and Mr. Rycroft. Well, it seems wildly unlikely that either of them should have an accomp“ who was the murderer. Then there ls this Mr. Duke. Well, for the moment we know nothing about him. He has only just arrived here lately and, of course, he might be a sinister stranger-part of a gang or some- thing. We wlil put X agains his name. And now we come the Willetts. Charles, there is come- t-hing awfully mysterious about the Willetts." '

"What on earth have they got to gain from Captain Trevelyarrs death?"

“Well, on the face of it, nothing. But if my theory is correct there must be a. connection somewhere. We've got to find what is the con- nection."

“Right-P said Mr. Enderby. “And supposing it's all a mares nest?"

“Well, we'll have to start all over again," said Emily.

“l-larkl" cried Charles suddenly.

He held up his hand. Then he went over to the window and upen- ed it. It was the far-on booming cf a great bell.

As they stood listening, Mrs. Cur- tis's voice called excitedly from be-

‘IOW. "Do you hear the bell, miss-

do you hear it?"

Emily opened- the door.

"D'you hear it? Plain as plain, isn't it? Well now, to think of that!"

"What is it?" asked Emily,

"It's the bell at Prlncetown, miss, near to twelve mile away. It means that a convict‘s escaped. George, George. where ls that man? D'you hear the bell? There's a convict loose." Her voice died away as she went through the kitchen.

Charles shut the window and sat down on the bed again. "It's a pity that things happen all wrong," he said dlspasslonately. "If only this convict had escaped on Friday, why, there would be our ITIIIIEIGJB)‘ nicely accounted for. No farther to lock. Hungry man, desperate crim- inal breaks in. Trevelyan defends his Englishman's castle-and des- perate criminal bifls him one. All so simple."

He shook his head sadly.

> Emily woke early the next morn- ing. Being a sensible young woman, she realized there was little possi- bility of Mr. Enderbys collaboration until the morning was well advanc- ed. Bo, feeling restless, she set out for a brisk walk along the lane in the opposite direction from which they had come last night.

The lane ran steeply uphill and came out on the open moor where it degenerated into a grass track and soon petered out altogether. The morning was e line one, cold and crisp and the view was lovely. Emily ascended to the very top of Sittaford Tor, a pile of gray rock or a fantastic shape. From this height she locked down over an expanse of moorland, unbroken as far as she could see without any habitation or any road. Below her, on the Oppgg- lte side of the Tor, were gray 1115,55. es of granite boulders and rocks,

She wished with all her heart that she had met the dead man even 1f only once. It was so hard to gel, an idea of people you had never seen. You had to rely on other people's judgment, and lifmily had never yet acknowledged that any other per- son's judgment was superior to her own. meditating vexedly on her problems, Emily sighed impatiently and shifted her position.

Bhe had been so loet in her own thoughts that it was with a shock of surprise she realised that a small elderly gentleman was standing a few feet away from her, his hat held courteoualy in his hand. while he breathed rather fast.

"Excuse me," he said. "Miss Tre- fusis, I believe?"

"Yes," sold Emily.
