The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1928-11-16


There was no panic, but the,
asked what was wrong, and asked
again as the list of the ship in
creased. Officers and stewards
passed among them saying tina
there was no immediate danger
and fears were temporarily quiet
ed. But during Sunday the shiI
tipped so much that the waves
were running along the rail or the
promenade deck.
Captain Undecided
That was the time, passengers
insisted Wednesday, that the dis
tress call should have been sent
out and not in the middle of Mon
day morning as it was. The cap
tain seemed calm, they said, then
and until the very end, but he was
like a man who couldn't make up
his mind.
There was little sleep Sunday
night and early Monday morning
all passengers were called on
deck. The storm that on Satur-
day beat over the ship and washed
the furniture right out of the din
ing saloon had abated, but a high
sea was running and the ship
seemed almost on it's side.
At 10 o'clock Captain Carey or
dered the S o S, a call to ships
none of which was nearer than
100 miles, and soon after gave the
order to abandon ship.
And then there came a scene of
horror that the survivors will not
forget in all their lives. The or
der vas women and children first,
the law of the sea. and two boats
were filled with them. But sur
vivors said that the crew seemed
inexpert in getting the boats low
cred. For two hours the women
and children swung from the da-
Wits as the boats were lowered
inch by inch, swinging with the
sluggish lurch of the ship.
Life Boats crumble
Suddenly the ship .wallowed in q
trough deeper than any before and
the two life boats were cracked
like egg shells against the ships
side. The boats broke open about
Is feet above the water and pour
ed their human contents into the
sea-. In the list of survivors there
are the names of but 10 of the 81
women who sailed on the Vestris.
and the name Of not a single
child.
BY that time the Vestris was
sinking rapidly. Two boats were
successfully launched but a hole
stove in one and it put off
patched with a piece of tin, to
sink before it had one 100 feet.
These two boats carried about 80
persons. About so had been
dumped from the broken boats.
The rest began leaping from the
rails and swimming for their lives
lest suction drag them to their
deaths when the vessel sank.
Neal O'Laughlin, chief radio
operator, remained in his cabin
to get one last appeal out of
exhausted set, Captain Carey
stood on the bridge and ordered
two stewards who went to him to
save themselves. They jumped
and looking back saw him step
without bothering to
strap a life belt about him, into
he sea. Then the ship sank and
lie was not seen again.

Shop for New Clothes Alone

When you go to buy a frock ready
made my suggestion is to go alone
Don't take your mother, your sister
your best friend. and don't ever, ever
take your husband. Perhaps you think
that's poor sort of advice, but my own
experience has been that the best ad-
vice you can obtain in the matter comes
from the looking glass in the fitting
room or from saleswoman who really
knows her business.
The merely Obliging friend or rela-
tive has way of urging you to get the
frock that she feels you like best. She
hasn't got to wear the frock or see it
hanging in her closet for months to
come, and the chances are that she has
a train to catch or a luncheon engage
ment and is glad to have the boring
business over with.
There are other friends who have
certain prejudices concerning you and
your clothes. Molly never feels that
your clothes are sufficiently youthful,
so she urges you to get the most in
genue frock in the shop. Sally has a
theory that black is always the smart
est choice. so she puts up an argument
in favor of the all-black frock. not real
izing that black brings out the Sallow
tones in your skin.
Tactful saleswomen are rather chary
about giving their advice, but when
they do give 1t. it is usually worth heed
ing. They are apt to make fewer mis-
takes, just as professional chauffeurs
are less likely to have motor accidents
than those who drive simply for pleas
ure. If possible, then, when you go to
buy that new frock select a saleswoman

Important Part Is
Played by Lining

Innings have an important part in
the Winter fashions
Many of the evening frocks of vel
vet and silk are lined-that is, so far
as the lower part of the skirt is con-
cerned For the skirt that Is shorter
in front than at the back shows so much
of its inside that lining is almost es-
sential
For instance, black velvet evening
gown touching the floor at the back
and then gradually rising until it Is
short at the front, is lined with silver
cloth Two bands of ribbon, an inch
and a half wide. one mauve. the other
peacock blue, are used around the
lower edge of the lining.
Another effective black velvet eve
ming gown that makes clever use OF the
lining idea has two big velvet bows, one
on the hip, one on the bodice above
the hip The velvet for thes" bows is
lined with beige tafIeta But then the
bows are worn wr0ng side out. SO that
thoy are taffeta bows lined with black
velvet. A great loop. with two ends
The taffeta makes the velvet stiff, the
velvet makes the taffeta heavy. The ef-
| feet is unusual and interesting
There are heavily embroidered crepe
| shawls lined with the Softest white fur
Sometimes these shaWiS are also mar
rowly hemmed with FUR. But tne fur
| is subordinate to the design o. the en-
broidery. and is quite obviously used for
warmth more than for decoration. 1t
| is the softest, quieteSt sort OF White.

Sometimes a Laugh
Breaks High Tension

Some peacemakers go about their
business of creating harmony without
even getting any credit for what they
have done. Whenever they appear on
the scene disSension and discord seem
gradually to fade away and yet they
are never suspected of being in the
least bit dovelike. In fact, if their
dovelike qualities were more apparent
they would have much less success in
their peace making maneuverS than
they actually have.
Fortunate is the reading or study
club that has one or two such mem
bers. The woman who whenever dis
cord finds expression sits back and
registers her love of peace by looking
offended has as little power as a peace
maker as the club member who jumps
TO her feet when an argument rises,
gets the cllairman's permission to
speak, and beSeeches the leaders of the
opposing factions to be Considerate. No
one likes that sort of thing.
The woman who does do the trick
In such a crisis is the woman who
somehow manages to start a bit OF
good-natured and possibly irrelevant
laughter. In the midst of battle
royal raging in a certain club / know,
one woman actually had the courage to
let her camp chair collapse under her
so that she might go sprawling to the
floor.
There was sudden breaking Of the
tension. women gasped and then, when
they saw their fellow members plight
a suppressed litter went around. Ano
when they had composed themselves
after this little interruption the heal
Of their venom had been spent.
