he United States like to see a problem tackled
.wrangled furiously, and then all neatly buttoned,
up and labeled “solved.”
It is one of our weaknesses. For not one of the great
problems that plague the world has ever been zipped- up
that way with one motion, and not one is likelyrto be.
The Bolshevik revolution was going to heavenize Russia J
in one bold stroke. So was the Blackshirt revolution in Italy,
and the Nazi revolution in Germany. But if any of those
countries today has any fewer unsolved problems than we,
it is not apparent.

Ken bit his lip. Martin’s stub-

to upset his own suspicions. Be-

worried.

lightness. "Before you know it, I'll !

A full-dress public hearing into

proved North. American knew
nothing about any transgressions

that the holding company system
is bad because it leads to irre-
sponsibility and lack of control.

this should be the case and if that
had happened!"
Molly, however, followed Kimi's
instructions and went to phone
her niece.
She returned to say, "Sadie does
remember the purchase. When she
put the hat in thefbox, the sales-'
girl told her lovely it looked
on~the girl who "bought It. Sadie's
not out front, so she peeked
through the door and saw Miss
Judy and her friend.”
"Friend!” cried Martin and Ken
toget her.
Molly nodded. “Sadie said Miss
Judy and a friend left the shop
together. The other girl had wait-
ed while she bought the hat."
Ken broke in. "Call your niece
and see if she knovfs' anything

"Sadie's mistaken,” Martin said
curtly. "Judy hasn't any friends in
New York.” •
“Hold on," said Ken. "Molly,
where does Sadie live?"
Trtie housekeeper gave 4he ad-
dress, which was not far away.
"Phone her again and tell her
Mr. Martin and I want to run over
to see her."
“What good will that do?" de-
manded Martin, as Molly left the
room again. ■
"Plenty! We’ll get a description
of this friend.”
“1 tell you, Judy doesn't know
any one in New York," Martin In-
sisted.
"That's what you think!"
When Molly returned, she in-
formed them that her niece had a
date but would, put off her boy
friend if they would come right
over.
"Shall we go?” asked Ken.
"Why not?" Martin gave in.
He summoned Walter ipul gave
him directions to meet the Berke-
leys and explain that he, Martin
would join them at their hotel
later in the evening. Then, he and
Ken set out.
As they descended in the eleva-
tor, Ken said, "Try to keep an
open mind about this. Martin.",
"An open mind? What do you
mean ?"
"Don't bank on the supposition
that Judy knows no one in New

Ken paced about the
•'Well . . . what next?"
Martin looked up dully. “I don't
seem to have any ideas?'
Just then, Molly came bustling
buck into the room.
"I almost forgot," she said,
."There was another box. I set it in
the wardrobe."
Martin made an indifferent ges-
ture. "Just another box ------
doesn't help." *<>« F'ifth Avenue- "
However, as Molly took a hat I
box from the wardrobe, Ken scru-
tinized it with interest."
"It does help!" he exclaimed,
taking it from Molly. "Definitely,
it does. This didn’t come from
Phoebe’s shop."
"Well, what of it?” asked Mar-
tin sourly.
Ken removed a red hat from the
box, perched it on his fist and
scowled at it thoughtfully.
"We've got something," he said
slowly. "Let me see . . . Judy left
Phoebe's shop at three-twenty,
Phoebe said. But 1 didn’t see her
getting into the taxi until after
three-thirty. In those ten or fif-
teen minutes, what did she do?"
"Bought that hat,” supplied
Martin. "So what ?"
"Why did she buy it?" mused
Ken. H** tossed it back into the
box. "I told her she should have
a red hat that you liked red hats.
I just said it to be funny ...”
"And she saw a red hat and
bought one," Martin put in. "That
is all there is to it.”
“No—that isn’t all," Ken ar-
gued. "There's this angle — she
didn't have to leave Phoebe's to
get a red hat. That tears the Idea
that she went off with red-hat-
purchasing in mind. It must have
been an afterthought. But why?”
"MgAr line of reasoning is get-
ting (is nowhere." sad Martin
obstinately. "What’s the use of
trying to see significance in some-
thing that has no significance?
The point is that she left Phoebe's
to meet us but didn't. Why she- —
didn't is the only thing that .mat-
ters. and Xve're no nearer the an-
swer to that question than we
were."
Ken denied this. “We are nearer.
I’ll bet the red hat is the key to
the whole mystery!"
Martin said' impatiently. “Non-
