Another report came in from Lus downtown office with a Complete Checkon Stan s activities in the Middle West when he was promoting mining  Learned with interest of the Avia Tor s near involvement with the Law and How Tark had come to his Rescue. He was particularly interested in the fact that Tark and Stan had known each other before. W. Why did they put on the big act Here of pretending that they had Metin a plane in Florida he a ked himself. Could Tark possibly be the elusive Rolph Laramie. 4 he phoned a commercial photographer and through him was Able to round up several pictures of Tark. They had been taken at big banquets an parties at the carnival club and Tark s features in two of them stood out clearly. Then he took them to mrs. Arnold and spread them out on a table.

Go Over every feature and try to imagine what he looks like now and see if you can. Find the least  woman studied the photographs for a Long while before she finally handed them Back.

Soon afterwards Olivia and Stan were dancing watched closely by Ellen and where s Kizey Beck Ellen asked. I Don t see  s right inside the front door where he also has a View of the Kitche Entrance. There s no Chance of Olivia s leaving this place without his spotting  ,1 they danced a while in silence when suddenly Stan stopped. Look Leo  and Olivia have left the floor. Go after her quickly. It May be that she going to the powder room but i m not taking any chances. Don t let her  your sight and i la be close at hand. His voice was so urgent that Ellen hurried across the dance floor the music slopped at that moment and she found herself blocked by the couples hurrying Back to their tables. When she finally fought her Way Clear and reached the corridor neither Olivia nor Sta were in sight. She went into the powder " 22.

Do you suppose he can be brought Here Caplain thanks a lot. All of them looked at him intently As he turned  has been found slugged in his  a lonely Road he said. High Way police just found  about Olivia Arnold demanded. A she was t with him Leo an swered. They re looking for  to be continued next week letters to the editor continued from Page 3 use of elevated heels. He often waxes his moustache and always perfumes his hair with brilliantine. He May not talk loudly but he certainly talks boastfully of his accomplishments especially his amatory accomplishments practically none of which Ever actually  eats rapidly and makes noises while he does it. He has been seen to slap his woman in Public. He is Over fond of eau de Cologne. He picks his Teeth. He spits. Now far be it from me to reflect othe Continental s personal dainties a but permit me to recount something Chat happened in Paris to an american Friend of mine. My Friend found him self an apartment and in the apartment there was a Large galvanized Iron Bath tub that had to be filled and emptied by hand. My Friend who is neither Moreno less fastidious than anybody else decided to take a Bath the Day removed in in december. He took his Bath and left the water in the tub for the maid to bail out which was the proper thing to do. Twenty four hours late the water was still there and my Friend intended to Seal out the maid. Two three four Days went by and my Friend mentioned the subject As delicately a possible to the maid for he was gelling tired of washing in a Public Bath Monsieur said the woman spotting the words anyone who takes a bathing this season deserves to have the water remain in the tub All  it  picture if you can and i la bet you can to Mary Geyer the american female s permitting the omission of the american male s daily shave and Shower. The allegation has been made that american. Males do not like  is absurd. It is even counter to the. Findings of or. Kinsey and his associates and Only a fool would contradict them. The fallacy arises i m sure because the american male anticipates the business of pursuing a woman with the zest of sport. Quite unlike the Continental male whose jaded appetites have mad of the Subj eel a stereotyped game. It is simply a matter of he does this an she does Thal he says this and she says that. The associated a Landries Are fairly empty. Once the second Quarter is reached the result to a foregone conclusion. Nobody wins nobody loses. The Continental male s treatment of his woman is of ten Cavalier in the extreme. He May hold her hand Al concerts Buthe is also As Likely to say to her in a crowded room Shuf  his teen age daughters Are not permitted the luxuries of makeup and sheer stockings and the say yes papa and no papa and not much else. The Mal contented Amer ican female is also reminded that the inst Lulion of the Gar Monniere is strictly european one. You la have to look that word up yourself Mary Geyer. I not going to explain it to you i suppose the Continental male Doe dress rather Well if you happen to go for string sized neckties suede shoe with two Inch soles and jackets with a Belt in the Back. His shirt collars Wilt sadly Over his neck or going to the other extreme Are starched to a Glisten ing celluloid whiteness. He likes his suits Cut As tight As a chorus girl costume and perversely the cuffs of his trousers extend from the shoe tips to a Point a few centimetres to the rear of his heels. I Trust i will Dis illusion no Flower of american woman Hood by pointing out that the Continental male who dresses in striped pants Pearl Stickpin and Black Homburg is Aurare As a flock of Ronald Colmans Al the Omaha . Anyone with an sense knows that the circus Type hand painted neckties and wild socks sported by the american male were designed sold purchased and forced upon him by nobody else than thai same american woman. I hear the complaint that the Amer ican male is not interested in what the american female wears. Tell me mar Geyer did you Ever accept graciously any criticism of your clothes from amere Man due to the fact that it is scientifically impossible for the human body to be in two places at once i see no reason to pout that the american male does t go shopping with his lady Ait the moment when he is Busy earning the Money thai is to finance her Gener ally questionable tastes. Does the Continental male talk to the mannequin. And Pinch the material because he concerned with whal his woman wears i suspect it s the other Way around. He feels the material to make sure he s not paying for shoddy goods. He s More interested in francs than frills and woe to the Continental female who spends Sou Wilhour her lord s considered approval. The Continental male s interest in the arts and music is nol As All pervading As you might think. Nor is there cause to exclude the american male from them either. I know a Matisse from a. Gauguin and i can whistle the trumpet part from Stravinsky s Petrouchka and any Lime anybody wants to hear it drop around and i la Send. Nevertheless there Are moments when obviously among the most cultivated of men prefer the first base Pavillion to Beethoven and a dry Martini to a Picasso. But never two dry martinis Toto Picasso. The proportions increase v geometrically. Two martinis to four i Cassos the Continental male is by Farshe most crazed sports fan in the world and there Are More sporting newspaper available in Europe than anyplace on the Globe. Regularly every sunday the Continental male leaves his wife 4iome to her mending and Hies himself off  stadium and the weekly soccer Malch he May even be a Lover of Brahms but his favorite tune is a beat up thing vaguely recognizable As inthe mood played by an accordion fiddle and Drums in a manner hardly respectful to the memory of the late Glenn  careers does the Continental male leave open to the Continental female the usual stateside ones and couple unusual enough to preclude their mention in the pages of a . His wife is so richly for the Home. Did you Ever meet a Continenza female who could l sew flawlessly she Cooks she washes she cleans she bears the children. Here is the limit of her Homey career for husband raise the children. He does not permit her such frivolities As Bridge clubs. If  out in the evening he lakes her but not very often. He nol she brings he guess Inlo the Home and he May introduce her to the guest permit Herto serve the meal and then peremptorily command her to quil the room themen want to Lalk. All this Mary Geyer says makes him practically Irre sistible.". V Richard Cohen Paris answer to last week s Puzzle asalltlaai3gshs Aaan exec Ngalaen else weeps Hughl weekend april 2-j, 1848
