A Fashion Models Diary
By GRACE .~THORNCLIFFE :
She Races About a Tea CosUn.

ADAME really let's us do as
we please around the shop.
49, OF course, we do have to be
In at a certain hour. and we have
a specified amount of time for lunch,
but generally speaking, she is rather
a lax disciplinarian. However. there
is one rule that Is a law and must
be obeyed-we are not allowed to
receive or to make any personal tele-
phone calls during business hours.
And this we must stick to. In fact,
Madame has often told various ar
dent young men, hot in pursuit Of
either myself or Helene, hat we can
lot be disturbed during business
hours. It's the one thing in the
world that really annoys her. Con-
seouently Helene and I do no tele-
phoning during business hours. We
eve get a business call. and so the
phone might just as well not be
there as far as we're concerned.
So you can imagine my surprise
this morning when one of the stock
girls called Miss Thorncliffe to the
Telephone. Madame wasn't in, and
the girl was new At the shop and
I was afraid she didn't know the
rule. i was All TO De very
snappy to someone, when Mrs. Rice
announced herself. It's a good thing
I didn't speak; she's m OF our best
customers and has been coming to
the shop for years. Ever since I've
been there, I've been serving her.
It was strange for her to phone,
though. She usually spends coolies
OF time at the shop picking our her
costumes. And, anyway, I knew she
expected to leave town today. And
I was right. She said she was PACK
ing and it occurred to her that she
didn't have a really beautiful tea
gown to take with her, and she
wanted one. She said she'd hardly
have time to run into the shop for
il, but would depend on my taste
and asked me If I'd be kind enough
to send one up to her before train
time.
Well, what a furry I was in! II
there is n person I would like tc
please it's Mrs. Rice. Not only be
cause she's a good customer, but
she's a charming person.

The plane carried $50 gallons of gaso-

LEvlATHAN OFFICIAL
DENIES RUM STORY
Executive Vice President Says
Liquor Is Not Being Sold on
Eastbound Voyages.
By he Assocfated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. June 27.--Josepil e.
Sheedy. executive vice president of
the United States Lines. today denied a
story printed In the New York Herald
Tribune that liquor is now being sold
aboard the Leyiathan on eastbound
voyages.
The Herald-Trib said today that
liquor is now being sold aboard the
United States liner Leviathan on both
east and west bound voyages.
The source OF supply for the last
eastward trip was unknown, but the
newspaper said 1t was learned when
the ship docked here yesterday that
there was enough liquor on hand to put
the bartenders to work in first, second
and tourist sections.
Passengers said cocktails were avail
able before meals, the best Of wines at
moderate prices at the dining tables
and anything except beer after or be-
tween meals On previous trips since
the United States Lines, Inc, took over
the Leviathan from the Shipping
Board. liquor was sold only on the
westward trip. The Herald Tribune
said the only explanation for the pres
ence Of the liquor was that the medical
stores were being used, as has been
the practice on other American ships
sailing to foreign ports.
Assistant Secretary Lowman said to-
day he would order an immediate In
vestigation into reports that the
Leviathan was selling liquor on east
bound trips from New York.
He said unless the steamship OBJ
tanned the liquor outside Of the l2-mile
limit that sale Of 1t would be viola
ton of the law.
At the same time doubt was ex-
pressed by Treasury officials that liquor
was being sold.
Treasury officials doubted that liquor
sold on eastward trips was from the
medical supplies of the Leviathan.
They pointed out that the medical sup
plies had to be accounted for and that
each bottle bore serial NUMBER
through which 1t could be identified.
To sell liquor issued by the Prohi-
bition Bureau for medical supplies. they
said would be a violation OF the law,
as that liquor could only be issued on
prescription of the ships physician or
her captain
Lowman said that no reports had
been brought to his attention, but said
that he would have the matter investi-
gated at once.
