Hope for peace between the govern
ment and Indian Nationalists was sud-
denly revived today. when it was
learned that Mrs. Sarojini Naidu. pres

han Malaviya, Nationalist member Of
the round-table conference.
Cooperation Seen.
The belief was expressed in political
circles that the conferences we're in
tended to pave the way for co-opera-
ton and conciliation between Gandhi
and the Viceroy. Pandit Malaviys.
VINO is next to Gandhi in influence in
Nationalist India, was reported now on
the way here from Benares to discuss
the possibility Of solution with Lord
Willingdon.
Nobody in authority this afternoon
would predict that anything concrete
would emerge from the present discus
sions, but additional significance was
given the Nationalist move by the fact
that Rev. Charles F. Andrews. Gandhis
biographer who is now at Delhi, can
celed proposed trip to China in order
TO try to bring the Mahatma and the
Viceroy together if possible.
Overtures Welcome.
In government circles there is a
steadily hardening attitude toward the
Nationalist Congress, but those in au-
thority have not disguised the fact
that the government would welcome
peace overtureS from the Nationalists,
who, since Gandhi's arrest early in
January have played havoc with Brit
ish trade and kept the country In a
state of apprehension.

Is Lighted.
BY the Assoc!s.ed Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, Italy, March 26.-Lent was
over officially at noon today and church
bells and organs, silent since Holy
Thursday morning, apprised the capital
city of the Roman Catholic world that
the time had come to rejoice in Christ S
resurrection.
Special rituals commemorated the
day. In st. Peters the Pope's paschal
candle, eight feet high and three inches
in diameter, was blessed by Cardinal
Pacelli The Cardinal lighted the
Easter fire by striking spark from a
flint. The new fire." as it is called,
was suggestive of Christ's resurrection.
Benediction With Relics
Cardinal impaired a benediction with
relics said to have been connected with
Christ'S passion and death.
In every city in Italy priests went
from house to house to bless them.
Rooms and Offices were sprinkled with
holy water According to an old GUS
tom, the master of the house placed
a silver offering in the holy water
canister, carried by an acolyte.
In some homes, also according to an
old custom, the families had placed
their good for tonight's dinner on the
table, SO that the priest could bless the
first meal they would eat following
Lent.
Many young men, including hundreds
of foreigners, who have been studying
in the Rome seminaries, were ordained
priests this morning.
Explosion Of Sacred Cart"
In Florence the six centuries old
ceremony of the Explosion of the
Sacred Cart was held again.
While thousands, including q large
portion of the American colony,
thronged the square before the cathe-
dral, four white oxen, with gilded horns
and hoofs, drew into the square a cart
decorated with flags and flowers and
heavily loaded with fireworks.
From the cart wire was run through
the federal doorway TO the high altar
At that point an artificial pigeon carry
ing pyrotechnic rocket was slid on
the wire
A priest lighted the rocket before a
huge congregation. The pigeon roared
out over the heads of the crowd to the
cart, and set of the fireworks. The
crowd in the square cheered wildly, for
this was a good sign, taken as fore
casting excellent harvests.

speak-easy and he had several drinks.
VIE stayed much longer than was neces-
sary for dinner I didn't think much
about it. ! was little uncomfortable,
but after all We had been working hard
and it seemed to be in the way of
business.
But few days later he came to my
desk and asked me to meet him for
dinner that evening. His wife, he said,
was out in the country for the day, and
he wanted companionship. So / went
along, feeling more like family friend
than anything else.
But after that he started showing
me marked attention, talked to me a
lot in the office, and suggested other
places to 60.
Listening to the talk of the other
girls, learned he was in the habit of
doing this sort of thing. He tried it on
every new girl who came along.
Now I feel awfully uncomfortable
about the situation. Beulah is one of
my best friends. I can't say anything
to her about it. I can't go out with
the man even when he approaches me
as Just friend of his wife,s. If I leave
I'll be out of job. Aud worse than
that she'll think me the most ungrateful
girl in the world. How shall handle it?

would be, the next time he asks you to
go out, to say you have an engagement.
If he persists, try to laugh at the thing
and try to joke about it. And if he is
still persistent, make up some kind of
fairy story-say that you are engaged
to se married and the man Is frightfully
jealous. That would stop him. Since
he's made advances to every other girl
In the office his proposals to you don't
mean much and he will not care If you
turn him down. There are men in the
world who make it a rule to approach
every girl they know. Such men say:
well, tackle every girl that comes
along. If get one out of five I call
1t a good gamble"
That's probably the kind of man he
is and he doesn't care much whether
you say "yes" or no"
One queer thing Is that II you say
Eyes" to him he will despise you, be-
cause he knows you are his wife's friend
That sounds unreasonable, because he
himself Is being disloyal to his wife, but
that kind of man is inclined to be that
way. He forgives himself everything
and forgives women nothing.
If none of these things work, and
you cannot put him off, you will have to
give up the job. There is nothing in
the world so important as sek-respect.
We can all live on little focz, in physical
discomfort. in illness, but few of us can
live without self-respect.

How can I put a bound edge on
the armholes of my little girls dresses?
I think they look so pretty, but I don't
know how to do them" This is a
question from a reader.
Bound edges always make a very
effective finish. The work must be
nicely done, neat and trim and straight.
1t is easier, of course. to bind straight
edge. But after you have a little
practice, you can bind scallops as well
as curved armholes and straight hens.
First cut strip of material on an
exact bias. This should be an inch
wide for a quarter-inch binding. Now
stretch the bias until the spring or
stretch has been taken out of it. Place
the bias binding strip right side down,
against the piece you are going to bind,
with edges even. Basic very carefully
along the edge, a quarter of an inch in.

the faculty of making the dress be-
coming
When you are planning to make a
new dress, or to remodel an old one,
the best thing to consider first Is the
collar. After that such details as the
style Of the sleeves. the placing of the
belt, the cut of the skirt are matters
comparatively easy to settle.
Today's sketch shows the new lace
handkerchief collar. So called not be-
cause any one ever deliberately used
a lace handkerchief to carry out the
idea, but because the revers can be
made from a square of lace and en-
broidery the size of handkerchief. If
you make the collar yourself you may
like to make it entirely of fine lace in
sertion with slightly gathered edge
of matching lace. There should be a
strip Of insertion edged with lace to
use at the back of the collar as well.
The triangles are arranged in rever
fashion but it is not necessary to have
the dress designed for revers. All you
need is V-neckline, so that the lace
triangles may be slipped in at this
