immediate neighbOrhOOd call it
kissing Gate"-and somewhere,
somehow. the fancy was born that
if a boy and girl arrived there on
night when the full moon was
painting a path of golden doublOOns
across the little cliff-bOund bay,
and kissed there in innocent sin
cerity, under the beneficent beam
of that moon, their future happi-
ness and security from want were
assured.
Bodwin Lantry and Alice War
wick lived near kissing Gate. They
had been brought up in close rev.
erence for all the beautiful, simple
things of life. AS children they
had frolicked during the scant
hours that country children are
ever allowed to frOlic together
They had found their way to Kiss
ing Gate long years before their
juvenile minds could comprehend
its significance.
But nOw-Bodwin was twenty
two and Alice nineteen. BOdwin
had been away for year working
in a factory at LauncestOn, but the
vision of Alice and The hope of
winning her had never left him.
None of the gay, fiippant girls of
the large town had male any i'm
preston on him.
Now, however, Bodwin found it
difficult TO get what he felt was
his share of Alice's company. She
had grown into a little wild rose
of beauty and her beaus were
many, indeed. Often when he
called in the evening she was out
with one or another of them. And
when he did find her in, though
she was cordial and pleasant to
him, she appeared distracted and
diffident in manner as though a
veil of some sort had been stretched
between the spontaneity of their
former cOmpaniOnshiD.
Thus Bodwin often sat at home
of nights and brOOded for he loved
Alice very much, and having in
memory many plightings of child
ish troth between them he had
taken it for granted that when he
turned from LaunceStOn with his
savings, she would fall into his
arms, so to speak.
II was Bodwin's wrinkled grand

His granny'S injunction brought
sudden inspiration to Bodwin. The
next evening found him at Alices

to foot. She was out as usual ::
but Bodwin, instead of turning
away from the door with a glum
look, stayed a while and chatted
pleasantly with Alice's mother and
father.
The next night he was back
again, and had no better luck. But
the third night BOdwin found Alice
in. He greeted her with gay

This was a new Bodwin, thought
Alice; the one whose bOyish charm

his family.
They called a turkey dinner party

IN THE world of fashion the
Il very atmosphere is charged
with gay cOlOrs this season. Even
the woman who has hitherto
been wary of hectic hues must
needs join the ranks of the color
enthusiasts, ir she would dress
smartly.
In the separate jacket which
tops the majority of costumes
in the new pageant, designers
have discovered most in
triguing opportunity for exploit
ing tOlor accent. The vogue
takes on MANY phases, always
with the thought of making
striking contrast the outstand-
ing theme
One of the methods of stressing
contrast is that of topping the light
skirt or frock with a darker jacket.
With a white jersey frOck, per ex-
ample, the young woman who posed
for this picture wore bright red
jacket. Every other detail of her
costume is white, even to her kid
shoes and her felt hat.
No less chic are the ensembles
where the black. brown, or navy
dress is contrasted with the jacket
in color so vivid as to be star
Ting, such as for instance an or
ange flannel cOatee with a brown
frock or gray with navy for the
skirt, or red with black.
The very newest note is the light
jacket with the dark skirt or gown.
For some time fashionists have
been calling attention to the cos
tune which has a light top. the
dress with yoke and sleeves in
white. or a delicate tint sharing
honors with the dark skirt via the
seamed-on bodice top Of lace or a
light fabric. In the light jacket
with the dark skirt the vogue takes
on an entirely new angle.
We have in mind in this connec-
tion the white Jacket worn over a
black or navy skirt, white blouse
completing this ultra modish trio.
These jackets are made either of
white satin or crepe. jersey, serge
or flannel, according to the formal
ity of the occasion. Their styling

/ TACkET suits, so widely her

smartest when they are either
eton or bolero types. 1t will
be seen from the youthful etOn

herring to lines of strictest SIM

registers a complete departure
from the regulation mannish sill

PARIS, August "a (P)-In the

OF Great Britain opens the way for re-
vision of the whole British policy al
fecting finance and the dole.
All but the Socialist newspapers as
sert that reform Of the dole is an
urgent necessity. The Liberal Oeuvre
asserts that England is now meeting the
consequences OF the disastrous dole
system for which all British govern
rnents since Lloyd George are re-
sponsible"

trophe is strong, said the Paris Midi.

LABOR'S FALL DUE
|. TO PARTY FRICTION
Dole and New Tax Proposal
Cause Macdonald Govern
ment to Go on Rocks.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, August 24.-It was discord
in the Labor party which scuttled
Ramsay MacDonald's cabinet after two
years, two months and Is days in office.
The differences arose over methods OF
avoiding threatened budget deficit of
$500, 900 900.
The government was wrecked on the
rocks of the unemployment dole and q
proposal for new taxation It proclaimed
its slogan Equal sacrifice for ALI and
its ship went down with that banner
nailed to the mast.
The cabinet proposed to stsve OF the
deficit by levying 100000 900 in new
taxes and looping of about the same
amount from national expenditures,
mainly by cutting the dole
But the powerful Trades Union Con-
gress cried Hands of the dole" and
the leaders of the political opposition
retorted mo more taxes
Tried for Compromise.
For two weeks Mr.. Macdonald stood
off both while he tried to work out a
compromise. Time after time in those
tense days he was close to an agree
ment. but both the Conservatives and
Liberals stood pat In their demand that
at least three-fourths of the budget
instead of new taxes.
Early today 1t looked as though the
government had agreed to, 80 per cent
in the proposed cuts in expenditures,
but in the background stood that Trades
Union Congress, and there were pre-
dictions of calamity should the dole
system be interrupted in this time OF
economic depression.
The Macdonald government, second
Laborite ministry in British history,
came into power on the heels of a gem
eral election in 1929. assuming office on
June 9.
The first Labor cabinet was formed
in January, 1924. but could maintain
its hold on Parliament for only some
thing less than 10 months. The Con-
servatiyes returned to power and for
the next five years remained in ONCE
under Stanley Baldwin.
With the new general elections called
In 1929, the Laborites succeeded in get
ting a plurality in the House of Com
mons. capturing 2S7 votes, while the
Conservatives took $50. The Liberals
with SO votes, held the balance of
power and it was largely through their
Sudrance that the Mcdonald ministry
was able to continue in ONCE.
Had support Of Liberals.
Macdonald entered his second min
istry with a policy for immediate con-
sideration of the problems of unem-
ploynent, reduction of ornaments, the
evacuation of the Rhineland and closer
cooperation with the League Of Ma
tions.
In the domestic field he had his
hands full and it was only by Liberal
support he was able to hold the Com
mons in line, Unemployment mounted
steadily and on last January 81 the
figures were 2,608. 406, representing an
increase of 1,135.004 over the same time
year ego.
Recently there also was trouble in
the coal-mining industries. 5000 Scot
fish miners going on strike in oppo-
sition to wage reduction and change
of working hours. This finally was
turned over to special board and the
men went back to work
The Imperial Conference of this year
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-08-24

and the Indian Round table Confer
ence were important events ir the life
Of the government
AT the Imperial Conference the status
Of the Dominions as self-governing
units OF the British Emuire was fur
Their strengthened. No agreement was
reached. however, on closer economic
relations between the mother country
and the dominions, as had been pro-
posed, particularly by Canada. This
problem was left over for q further
conference.
Weathered Storm Successfully.
The action Of the Macdonald govern.
ment in turning thumbs down on Q
Canadian proposal for dominion prefer
ences on the grounds that It would
mean taxes on food, brought SHARP
criticism from the Conservatives who
brought in a motion of non-confidence
but Macdonald weathered the storm
successfully.
The round table conference produced
plan for a federal constitution in
India. The Gandhi followers who have
been demanding complete independence
boycotted the conference. Since then
Mahatma Gandfli has declined to attend
a second round table conference in
London, but efforts are continuing TO
persuade him to change his mind.
In the international field Macdonald
carried out many of his policies. Trade
relations with Soviet Russia were re-
newed although complete diplomatic re-
lation8 we're not. An agreement was
reached that Russia was not to carry
on propaganda in British possessions.
During the recent trial Of eight Russian
engineers for reasonable activities
against the Soviet government, Great
Britain protested against certain ac-
cusations made publicly against proFni-
nent British subjects.
During the past two years the last
British soldiers left the occupied ter
ritory in Germany and they were fol-
ing German territory unoccupied for
the flrst time since the end Of the war.
Arms Agreement Reached.
One Of the biggest events OF the
Macdonald administration was the
London Five Power Disarmament Con-
ference early in 1880. Great Britain,
the United States, France, Italy and
Japan participated.
The conference resulted in agreement
on certain general provisions by the
five powers Great Britain. the United
States and Japan reached an agreement
on limitation of classes Of ships which
had not been limited at the previous
Washington Conference.
Negotiations then were started for a
naval agreement between Great Britain,
France and Italy, but these are stiil In
state OF hux.
