from marrying men and women who are drunksrds. or gamblers. or spendthrifis. or just plain no-account. but‘ when their objection to a marriage is based on silly and frivolous grounds or inspired by sel- iishness, then the children have a right to marry in spite of parental opposition.

As for your woman of 35 who is going to marry alman whom her parents consider unsuited to her. I say let her so to it. If at that age she hasn't Intelligence enough to know [what she is doing she belongs in a home for the feeble-minded. And liow can any one know she will not be happy? Perhaps she has been starving all of her life for love. Perhaps she is so weary of being suppressed and bossed at home that she would be happier in any kind of house that was her own than she is in her parents‘.

You can never tell how a marriage is going to turn out. Some of the most. promising go on the rocks and some that everyone is sure will be failures are glorious successes. And each of us has a right to \ake our own chance. '

DEAR MISS DIX: I have been married for nine years and we are no children. Recently my wife obtained a position.

A few hings have caused me to wonder about the relationship between her and her employer. Apropos of nothing she is always asserting that there is nothing between her and him. He has several times called at the house and when he comes she is literally beside herself with delight. After his departure she is morose and sullen. When he is away from the city on a business trip she mopes around. When he returns she is gay and only then is she affectionate. toward me. Some- times for two or three days at a time she barely speaks to me. Do you think I have any grounds for wondering at her ‘conduct,?

ANSWER: Perhaps you are jealous and that makes you imagine things that are not really trt.e. And take into consideration the fact that your wife is going through the excitement of a new experience in going to work. That is all very W.ldGl'fllI and uplifting to the domestic woman. and if it turns her head a bit and makes her ideal- ize her employer as part of the glamorous adventure. ilon't take it too seriously. Be patient. She will get over it in a little while and find that work in an office is just as dull as work in a kitchen.

But if you are going to be jealous, get your wide to give up her. job. No money she earns can pay for wrecking’ your marriage. and that you wiilsurcly do if you are suspicious of her and always watch- ing her. '

DEAR MISS DIX: The ten qualifications that a man must have to attract me are: First-Good health and habits. Second—GooI lookh Third—Inielligence. l-‘ourth—-Cleanliness. Flfth—Kindnesa. considera- tion and big-heartedness. Sixth—Must be good spender. Seventh— Must be good mixer. Eighth——Must be entertaining companion. Ninth-— Must be efficient. Good money-maker. 'l‘enth—-Must be good drinker. I have found two or three like this, but haven't been able to hold ithe'm. - Can you advise me how to do it? I am a divorcee. 28 Yell” old. with two children.

LILLIAN

ANSWER: All you seem to desire in a man are all the virtues and graces and then some and that may explain not only why you are a divorcee. but why you have been unable to hold the Non who at- tracted you. You ask too much of any mortal man. They simply couldn't make the grade. Perhaps it would be just as well for you to take stock of your own qualifications as a woman and ask yourself what you have to give in exchange to this paragon among men.

No one could catch him from the rear. but Robin thought of the pistol. His head turned towards it. I-‘inger-marks or not, he would risk lttﬁ 81%‘ instantly, ﬂea ask though

oug reading wor ings of his mind, Brett, acted. Glancing at Laurette to make sure she was out of harm's way, and swinging the chair again, he flung it from him with all his force. All instinctively ducked: but it 1lew—not at one of

lights hanging from the centre oi the ceiling.

There was s cra.sh—s. spllnterlng of glass as the lamps were shatter- ed—a resounding thud as the chair smashed against the far wali...in darkness.

Laurette uttered I. cry. Simul- taneously the men surged forward to where they thought Brett stood. Robin grabbed and closed with a struggling figure, and at the same time found himself assailed. in the blackness and in the ensuing melee it was impossible with any cer- tainty to know who was who.

In the midst of the whirl at bodies gripping and striking blind- ly in the darkness, Robin saw a faint shaft of light as the door leading from the room into the hall was swiftly opened. He shout- ed a. warning as a figure unmistak- ably passed through. Then the door was closed.

Breaking away from his oppon- ent—who, he discovered from nis voice, was none other than the sergesnt—Robin made for the door. The sergeant followed. They found themselves involved with Peter Leasing, who himself tore the door

open.

straight across in front of them was the old butler seated on the hall floor and leaning against the wall. groaning. Just before they bundled through they hear the outside door being shut.

They wrenched it wide in time to hear the purr of the self-starter in Sherwood Dexter's limousine merge into the throb of the engine. For an instant the figure of Rufus Brett showed at the wheel; then the car was away. accelerating swiftly. The sergeant behind Les- sing sounded his whistle. but in a ,flash the car had swept round the corner of Berkeley square and was out of sight.

Brett was not caught. the car was not stopped. A little later it was found only a few hundred yards away, deserted.

Where Brett vanished to there- after remained n mystery. All search for him was unavailing. Pialnly he had found a secure hid- ing ‘place; otherwise the publicity given to the case by the newspapers would inevitably have resulted in his capture. '

Robin Foster followed the incid- ents of the hunt with intense in- terest. Also, he frankly welcomed his contact with it for the opport- unity lt gave him to improve his acqualntanceshtp with Laurette Dexter.

He respected the fact that she was the affianceed wife of another man, but at the same time did not discourage his conviction that there was more of the "eminently suit- able" than the romantic in her betrothal. Fiurthermore, Laurette seemed frankly -to welcome his friendship. /

Despite the strain and sorrow he felt she must be enduring, she maintained a remarkable calm, and at the house in Porchester Ores- seent which Mr. Dexter had leased

He was now on his way to see her. He was returning after a sit- ting, snatched at one of the in- tervals, given by a. theatrical star. a caricature of whom he was da- ing for an illustrated weekly. It had suddenly occurred to him that he could time his movements to arrive at I.n.urette‘s house not long after dinner. He recalled she had told him she intended that even- ing to remain indoors.

He had almost reached her house when he halted in astonishment. Under the light in the portion he saw her standing with a man. It was not this circumstance that oc- casioned his astonishment; it was the appearance of the man she was with. He was undersized and rather shnbbily dressed-—of the lower Ipndon East End race- mum type. Robin decided.

The man moved down the steps, sil-nolns furtiveir flom side to side. Laurette followed her ﬁrange companion.
