 More than 300 astronomers, rep resenting America and 20 foreign countries, are expected to attend the week-long session to be held that year at Harvard university.
 Dr. Shapley announced that his plan to have the congress convene here early in September, 1892, was accepted by the council of the American Astronomical society at a special session at Yale observatory in New Haven, Conn.,, last week.
 Ordinarily the union, which meets every three years, would hold it's next session in 1881, but 1t was de- cided to delay it until 1882 to make it coincide with the eclipse of the sun which will be total in New Eng land on August 31, 1882.
 Sir Frank Dyson, astronomer royal of I.nt, and. will preside over the congress. The last meeting of the union was held in Leyden, Ho!- land, in 1928.

'zI0N|STS AROUSED
 BYLATEST POLICY
May Transfer Headquarters
 From London to New York

London, Oct. 21 R)-Zionist Jewry the world over today voiced protests at conditions in the new statement of British policy in Palestine, which they consider will impede their mak- ing of the Holy Land a national home for Jews.
 Dr. Chaim WeiZmann, resigning his positions of president of the world Zionist organization and of the Jewish agency to emphasize his opposition to the British policy, in timated that because of it's inaugur- ation 1t might be necessary to trans- fer the seat of Zionist activity from London to the United States.
 He has called a meeting of the political commission of the Zionist organization in London for Nov. 3 to discuss the entire matter. A mass meeting of Jews will be held Mon day night in Whitechapel.
 The question of the transfer of the Zionist seat to the United States will come up at a meeting of the World Zionist congress and council of the Jewish agency to be conven- ed in February. Dr. Weizmann an nounced that both he and the Zion ist executive will remain in office until the congress meets.
 The new statement of British pol icy, issued from the office of Lord Passfeld, minister of colonies, was published yesterday in conjunction with the report of the commission of Sir John Hope Simpson, sent to investigate conditions which produc- ed the riots of August, 1929, in which 241 persons died.
 The statement reaffirms the terms of the British mandate from the League of Nations to govern the country, which says that the admin istration must be equally just, fair and considerate of all the inhabi- tants of the country, regardless of race or religion. Among its features most objectionable to Zionists are the virtual closure of the country to further Jewish immigration, on the ground that very little land is left for settlement.
 Provision is made for mainte- nance of a considerable military and air force in the country to guard against a possible repetition of the August 1929 riots, and for establish ment of legislative council on the lines indicated in the 1922 statement of policy, to consint of a high com missioner in Palestine and 22 mem- bers, of whom ten will be officially appointed members and twelve un- officially elected members.
 In a letter to Lord Passfield Dr.. Weizmann bitterly assailed the State ment of policy, saying: World Jewry will be very disappointed and distressed at the governments atti- tude. But we won't abandon hope of establishing a Jewish national home in Palestine. The congress and council of the Zionist organiza- ton and Jewish agency when they meet may consider it better to have the official center of Zionism in America where there is a large Jew ish community"
 Of the statement he declared: 'It goes as long away toward denying the hopes of the Jewish people in regard to a national home in Pal estine as it is in the power of the government to do so."

 ''But it's no good trying to de- scribe it. You must see it." He sighed so sharply that the sigh was nearly a eroan.
 What is the matter?" asked the girl quickly.
 T was remembering that perhaps I shall never see any kind of sum- set again."
 "Oh."
 There was such pain in her ex- clamation that he became inco- herently apologetic. .s"I'm sorry! I can't imagine what made me say such a thing! Must need more exercise or some thing. I don't usually indulge in cheap melodrama-"
 What is the matter with your eyes?"
 He answered the question as simply as she had asked it.
 Nobody quite knows. I got a germ-a poisonous germ-in them while l was out in the wilds Two or three doctors fine fellows.- are on the germ's track, and al- though they haven't really found out much about him they believe they know what will kill him."
 And that is-?"
 Another germ. Only, you see, they aren't sure. It's a big risk. In way. they hate to take that risk. Personally, l feel I'd rather risk blindness than be pot tering about like this indefinitely
 You can't see-clearly?"
 q can't see you clearly-no."
 The girl blushed beautifully. He had told her what she had just not had the courage to ask. She felt a keen disappointment that he could rot see her clearly, and then an i'm mense flood of pity for him.
 T can see fairly we'll in a shaded room," he was explaining in a mat ter-of-fact way. Sometimes if one shaft of light falls on a face, l can see it as well as ever. But out here in the air l have to wear these dark glasses and that obscures every thing; even-the sunset"
 She believed he had been going 4o cho c1a SrpH her hands tightly in her lap.
 She was amazed at herself What was she doing? What was she thinking? This was only a chance encounter with a man whose name she didn't even know. She had been waiting for another man of an utterly different type-the man she loved. She repeated it firmly to herself-the man she loved and was going to marry.
 Well, she had been waiting for him rather impatiently because he was so inexcusably late. Then this stranger had come uncertainty into the shelter. And he had asked her If he might smoke-or perhaps she had spoken to him first. She couldn't remember quite how the conversation had started because so much, so wonderfully much, had been said.
 'I can see that you are slender and fairly tall and that you nov rather slowly" he told her. "An1 that is about all. Perhaps it is be- cause 1 can see so little of you that l feel I should know your voice again the moment I heard it. You get to know voices. I shall never forget yours
 She felt as breathless as if shH had come running up the face of the cliff.
 Then at our next meeting" she said bravely, q must be the first to speak,"
 He had hoisted himself to his feet and stood now as though he looked out over the sea. And she her head flung back, studied him intently.
 What a big man, And yet he was not outlandishly tall and not

| "Grannock. Saxely Grannock."
 She turned the name over in her mind. She had come to this little village on Long Island because her loved lived there. She had stayed here for nearly three weeks and had grown to know most Ct the res idents by sight, but Saxely Gran mock she had never seen until this evening.
 She gazed at him, a dozen ques- tions on her lips. Where did he come from? Who was he, when he wasn't carrying strange dreams into stranger lands?
 Apparently one could tell him all manner of intimate things, things never revealed to the man one lcved, and receive in exchange hour upon hour of confidence-and yet one couldn't possibly ask him about his lodgings.
 q ought to have introduced my self long ago." she said hurriedly. My name-'
 No" He swung round towards her, checking her in mid-word. No, don't tell me who you are. You see, if the eye treatment fails and I lose my sight, it's-it's better for me not 10 be able to remember you al all. except as voice. A very wonderful voice.
 And if you're curcd?" she whls- pered.
 Then I'll find you. I'll-1ll ad- vertise for you. We'll have a secret code. I'll advertise-'To the Ivory Rose. Come home Look"
 He had thrust a finger into his breast pocket and now held out to in the growing dark appeared to be rose carved from ivory. Take it. want you to have it. I've carried it for years because I'm so damned uperstitious."
 Then surely I mustn't take away your luck?"

 She shivcred.
 Then a stone slipped away under his foot and she stifled cry; but he passed steadily on. An instant later he had rounded a bend and she could see nothing but the heavy shadows of the cliff.
 Why had this strange man, al- ready half-blind, stirred her so deeply? She had felt drawn inex- orably to him in spite of herself, in spite of what she had thought was undying love for the man for whom she was waiting. She felt almost afraid, as she looked out over the dark sea What did it all mean?
 You clever kid! Oh, you clever, clever kid"
 She started violently and turned. The man for whom she mad waited in vain was bending over her, his lands were on her shoulders, his young radiant face was close to hers.
 Come along now, I'm going to walk you briskly up the bank and down again. Can't have you catch ing 8 chill even in the good cause O. meeting me-"
 He had pulled her to her feet. He was shorter by some inches than the man who had walked un- falteringly into the dusk. and she realized it as she stood now look ing levclly into his eyes. Remcm- bered also, that as a child she had said she would never marry short man.

burly, either. He managed his height and his weight perfectly even the trouble with his sight did not make him clumsy.
 She liked, too, his bronzed skin and his untidy brown hair. She was quite sure his eyes were gray. And there was something in his way of suddenly smiling and turn ing his head that stirred her pro- foundly. Had she not been already in love and pledged to marry, she could have dreamed that she loved this man.
 Please tell me your name" she yentured.
 He answered her almost absent

Shoes Nowadays
Always Look Well

1t Is an old saying that you can tell
mans or Woman'S character from the
shoes. Doubtless the experienced re-
tail shoe merchant does come to some
certain conclusions concerning his GUS
toners, derived entirely from the looks
of their shoes. But 1t would be a trifie
difncult to tell very much nowadays
because almost every one is so well

Do you ever see a shoe with buttons

because buttoned and laced shoes are

There used to be a good many home

These remedies may have worked
very well with the old-faShioned sort
OF shoes-but for the picturesque shoes
of today they might be a little too
drastic. The best that any one can
do for her shoes is to see that they
are put on trees promptly when they
are taken of and left on trees until
worn again. Besides that they should
be kept clean-as clean as possible by
brushing them of after every wearing,
Possibly a few other home methods
might be used, but the best plan Is to

- PRING seems to call for new
draperieS and cushions. For two
reasons. The heavier things of
~ Winter seem too heavy when the
weather becomes warm and we
compare them with cretonnes and mus
Inns and voiles And, if the Winter
draperies are of expensive silk or velvet,
Summer dust and sunshine may do
them harm.
Thus can we reason that it is eco
nomical to have different hangings for
Winter and Summer. A complete set
of cretonne window curtains, slips and
cushions is economy. And so reason
ing, we can start forth with free con-
science and an open purse.
The shops surely hold tempting as
Sortment of cretonnes to choose from
this season. They are always attrac-
tive, of course. But this year, because
1t is this year. we like them better. Our
taste changes with the rest Of the world
and the cretonne of the moment usually
appeals to US.
ONE really good thing about this
years crop of cretonnes is that
they are varied. There are big and
little patterns. bright colors and muted
colors-as the dressmakers call the
softened, powdery shades of color that
they use this year So there is some
thing to suit all taste, all demand. If
your house is big and gorgeous, there
are big and gorgeous patterns. If 1t is
small and dainty, then small and dainty
patterns. If 1t Is modern, you can
find cretonneS printed in the most
modern of designs And then period
cretonnes of all sorts come for the
period rooms
It's case of pay your money and
take YOUR choice. The wise woman, of
course, works out color scheme for
each room, and i'll some cases, if the
house is small, harmonizes the color
scheme for the whole house. Not until

Then she shops until she finds just the

THERE is another way. And that
is to start out with the cretonne
you like as the basis of your color
scheme You can then develop a color
scheme for a room from the colors
tremendously and effectively used In
your bit of cretonne.
Very often the best way to find out
if one design or another suits you is
to buy enough of the pattern to make
a cushion. Take it home and hang
1t at your window, place it over a
chair, hang it on the wall. Get 1t in
all lights and all positions, before you
finally decide whether or not to use it.
Then, If you do decide to use it, you
have wasted nothing, for you can use
the sample to cover cushion. If you
decide not to use it. you have wasted
little, for you have spent only the
price of a small length Of the material.
And you can use that, doubtless, for
work bags or some such thing.
