whet youth.
Miss Hester was nearing the half-

a if her home was supported on
rm and far-reaching roots that de-
:é-l the storm and stress of a too
-‘.'r'rish era. .
Nor did Miss Hester seal her Jere
f kindness. Her mind and her
ruse were always open to the
aedy. and her gentle advice was
vignt no less frequently than the
macros of her wardrobe.
Society was all ago‘g for the mo-
-~~m because of the impending pro-
un-tion of a play by one of Hunt-
»zdon's literary lights. The uncle
r the playwright. Oliver James. had
msented to come out from New
wit.- to the final rehearsals..and the
unpany of amateurs was much ex.

The shaded gardens and great

min through the great manager‘s

We found the amateur company a

James was lost in admiration.
Each was hung on a silken hanger.
And while he tried to picture belies
of each decade arrayed in them. he
found himself seeing Miss Hester
herself with her dainty bead reared
proudly above each gown.
Miss Hester hovered about in h.
gentle way offering freely from the
wide range of her wardrobe. and all
the time James was wondering Just
how he could prolong this visit and
how he might manage to spend more
time. perhaps alone. with Miss Hes.
ter. He felt that a few hours in her
sweet and restful presence would
work miracles with a tired brain and
body. He wanted Just to sit out un-
der that great spreading elm in the
garden and watch Miss Hester while
she knitted.

me before rushing back to the hot

And in the afternoon everything
was just as his hungry fancy had

hair piled high and framing her
sweet face. sent a rush of content
over James such as he had never
before known. The workbeeket was
beside her and the tea my. laden
with home-made cakes. was placed
on the ancient table.
"i don't think you have ever an-
tertained a more appreciative guest.”
said James as he gazed happily into
Miss Hester's eyes.
She colored dalntily and her eyes
shyly hid for a fleeting moment be-
fore she looked frankly up from her
knitting. "Perhaps l have never
appreciated one more. either. You
are a. very busy man. you know. to
spend your time telling me so many

"I could spend ul my time eo.‘
he said gently. and rejoiced at Miss

his dreams would at last come true.

By THOMAS EIAVA!
Will the mture development of
radio be along the lines of making
use of the now idle channels of short
wavelengths?
Discussing this possibility recent-
ly. Dr. George K. Burgess. director
of the Bureau of Standards. declared
that "in the exploitation of h'gh {eo-
quencies the radii: world finds itself
in the position of a person who has
fallen heir to a rich legacy. for there
is now available for actual use a re-
gion roughly twice as great as re-
dio had at its disposal a year ago.”
It is clear. Dr. Burgess adds. that
the problem of finding more chan-
nels for radio communication even-
. tualiy will be solved by the use of
high frequencies.
.A reel objection that has been
raised against the use of short waves
of high frequency is that the higheri
. frequencies are crowded so closely
at the lower end of a receiving dial
that tuning in a particular station
is practically impossible.
This objection. Dr. Burgess says.
can be overcome by proper design
of receiving sets By the use of a
simple type of condenser developed
by the Bureau of Standards. he
points out. it is possible to have a
dial in which there is strictly uni-
form separation between broadcasb
ing stations over the whole dial.»
Radio engineers in France have
succeeded experimentally in trans-
mitting directional communication
on wavelengths as low as two me-
ters. In the United States experi-
ments during the last year have
demonstrated the precticabiiity of
sending and receiving radio signals
on wavelengths between 10 and too
meters.
You probably are familisr with the
often repeated statement that an
outdoor antenna. instead of being a
‘anger. is really a protection against
Aghtn ng. provided lightning switch
~r arr-ester is installed. >
But now comes the U. 8. Bureau
-' Standards with the statement that
ntennas “cannot be regarded as
Tective protection": on the other
~nd their comparatively limited
e is all that prevents them from
coming a menace.
'if grounded. or provided with
.lghtning art-esters." the Bureau ex-
plains. “they may effect gradual
drainage *of electricity as well can

likely to fuse them or tear,thern

Circuits. There are numer-
ous circuits in use today. all
seeking by dinerent methods to
obtain the same result. namely
to control the radio amplifyinr
tubes so that they may be belt
at the point of oscillation with
out oscillating.
The Neutrodyne neutralizes
the capacity coupling within the
tube. between the plate and the
grid circuit. preventing the
pouring back and forth of
energy. This tends to deoden
the set.
The Superdyne endeavors to
couple the two circuits in such
a way as to transfer energy
to a maximum degree. but to
oppose the transferred energy
to the initial energy so that the
two will balance at the point
where there is enough surplus
initial energy to work the tube
at the riéht point. The difficulty
here is design.
The Superheterodyno changes
the frequency to be amplified
to such a low value that the
capacity of the tubes is mini
mlzed as the value of capacity
depends on the frequency. The
capacity coupling between the
circuits is therefore decreased
‘‘0 far. this requires many
tubes. ._J

The Trick Frock That Does Duty
for Severe! Occasions Is a Been
to Hurried Worn-skied.
AVE you heard of' the new
H trick frock? Much more im-
portant is the question; Have
you acquired a trick frock?
For many years French dressmak-
ers have been designing little coe-
tumee making use of the idea dis-
“Dlil‘ed in the trick frock-«frocks
that are qu‘te appropriate for the
street. but with a very trifling modi-
fication may be rendered at for a
dance or the theater. Prunariiy the
idn is that time may be saved and
convenience achieved by this sort of
frock combination. but the very fact
that the frocks are clever and tricky
is the thing thet recommends them
to many women.
One of these new trick frocks is
made of plain green crepe de chine
with front panels of green and white
figured crepe do chine. It has al-
moet no sleeves at all end a soft
collar. and would do for a little in-
door gown that might be worn for
the afternoon and informally for
dinner. Then there is a tunic of
dark green duvetyn that buttons
over the frock. the skirt portion ex-
tending within three Inches of the
hem of the other. it has long t‘ght
sleeves and the front has a deep
square outline that reveals the green
and ‘WhI e figured crepe front of the
little indoor frock. With this duve-
tyn tunic the frock is made suitable
for outdoor wear in milder weather.
or for all sorts of outdoor occasions
when worn with furs or a big coat.-
Another trick frock consists of a
little dinner frock of black ninon
with bandings of white ninon. it is
quite sleeveless and round-necked.
with a little white resent the left
shoulder. To make it into a frock
that does very n.cely for afternoon
wear. you simply slip on a long
straight coatee of black ninon, with
long. wide, straight-hang rig sleeves
of pleated nlnon. The coatec. which
opens down the front. is fastened
wi h narrow white ribbons which tie
in a bow at the neck and at the
waistl no.
The third trick frock is shown in
the sketch. The foundation frock is
of figured marooan with blue pre-
dominating. To transform this into
a suitable afternoon frock there is a
long redingote of blue gabardine
trimmed with the figured crepe.
These trick frocks make a strong
appeal to the clever home dress-
aker. and offer excellent oppor-
nity to make use of last year‘s
frocks that need nleration. They
are especially attractive to the we.
man who lives in the country or
suburb and occasionally goes into
town for a comb nation of activities
——shopping. the theater. calling. din-
ing and dancing—yet wishes espe-
cially to carry the minimum lug-
sass»

The Costume Slip Is the Foundation
of the Modern Woman's Ward-
robe. ”i
OME women nowadays virtually
S solve their dress problems with
costume slips and overblouscs
or tunics. For every occasion they
have a special sort of costume slip.
but with the old-time separate skirt
they will have naught to do.
If you want to cut down expenses
in your dressing it is a clever plan
- to make your own slips. , You can
buy the tops if you like at a price

hardly more than the bare unmade
materials would cost. All that you
have to do after that is to add the
skirt portion.
One good way to make the skirt of
a costume slip is to get a length
oysterfaI—as many inches as you
wil 1%” from the end of your slip
b - .. to the end of the skirt. plus
what will be needed in the hem,
Now finish off each sclvnge edge in
.3 hem of some sort and lap one side
of the material over on the other
as far as is necessary to make the
skirt section the same size as the
lower edge of the slip bodice. Sew
the skirt and bodice portions to—
Relher, but do not fasten the two
=sides of the skirt. as there will be
sufficient lap of material to make
this unnecessary. ,
If you have a pleated costume slip
it is a good plan to have the bodice
foundation long—almost as long as
your overblouee will permit. Thus
the bulk of pleats does not come
directly at the waist or hips. Many
sportswomen nre inclining to pleat»
ed slips for all outdoor sports. and
undoubtedly there will be quite a
revival of interest in the pleated
skirt or slip and overblouee at
Southern winter resorts. Often the
very slender, very straight young
woman can have a costume slip o:
sheath made in the shape of a Del
fect tube. But for most Women in
effect is decidedly improved if e fev
well-planned tucks and sunsets nr
taken other horizontally in the re
gion of the waist or up and down
under the arms or about the hips
The costume slip offers a good wa-
to dispose of almost any good bar
gain in the way of a remnant th:
may tempt your eye. A short plot
of silk. too short for an old-tin:
skirt. might be made into a charm
lug slip for a tunic blouse or slip
over. which might be worn will
some charmiing negligee or break
