ALL IN A DAY

hoped out to Detroit the
other day to say good-by to
Frank Murphy, the new COVER
nor general of the Philippine
Islands. 1 know he's going to
be angry at me for writing this
piece, but I'm taking my chances
in this direction. For if 1 am
unable to slip a farewell boost
to one of the finest men have
ever known, 1 might as we'll give
up columning altogether.
AS the mayor of Detroit,
Frank Murphy became a ma
tionally known figure. He didn't
want to resign because he knows
that the city needs him now
more than ever. Yet he bowed
before the wishes of President
Roosevelt and sails shortly for
the Philippines. And the very
fact that he received the ap-
pointment to this most impor-
tant of posts shows clearly the
implicit faith that the PreSi-
dent has in Frank Murphy.
A Changed Man
I hadn't seen Frank in almost
a year and 1 was shocked by
the change in his appearance
when I met him yesterday. He
has lost some Is pounds in
spite of the fact that he was
never particularly robust
man. He looked tired and
worn, but the explanation is
simple. When I think of what
he has gone through, it is
wonder to me that he looks as
well as he does.
Governing the city of Detroit
under existing conditions has
been a bitter and fearful strain.
Here is a city that almost
tripled its population in the
short space of 20 years. Here
is a city that made fantastic
millions for a few and provided
comfortable livingS for the
many. Here is a city that, under
the prosperity flag, was far and
away the most prosperous of
them all.
When the crash came, Detroit
was one of the first cities to be
hit right between the eyes. AS
incomes began to shrink
throughout the nation, the auto
mobile industry felt the imme-
diate effects. Mechanics and
automobile workers of every
description were laid off right
and left. And the financial
geniuses who had done the
loudest boasting were now COM
peting with each other to offer
the loudest Wailing.
Detroit, of course, will come

Frank Morgan, as a brilliant

DRAMATIC STORY
The Kiss Before the Mirror"
Is a dramatic story not often re-
lieved by comedy. After Frank

fend his friend Walter, coinci-
dence fixes it so that he sees his
own wife prettying herself before
the mirror to meet her lover.

and then sees her return to their
home confident her secret is safe.
The lawyer gets his revolver, in
tent upon solving his problem by
a violent climax. But the story
takes a new twist and the con-
Ventional happy ending arrives.
Paul LukaS does the best act
ing in this picture as the tor
mented husband. Frank Morgan,
gives an assured and polished
performance, even though he is
not too convincing in his jury
argument. Nancy CAROLS role is
largely decorative and Gloria
Stuart also serves briefly as pic
torial dressing for the film tale.
DOWNEY- IN SHORT
Morton Downey is the star of
supplemental embroidery. It's
slapstick story called MY Pal

minstrel a chance to sing three

the star completes tie program.

SLEEVELESS COATS,
CHIC ENSEMBLES

The coming summer season, as
well as this spring, will see the sue
cess of ensembles composed of con-
trasting coats and dresses. whether
the latter be in plain fabrics or in
prints. However. this new type Of
ensemble will be entirely different
from the combination which has
been so much in evidence this last
season. and which usually consist
ed of plain coat lined with print
and matching the dress worn be-
meath. The new coat will not only
be in a contrasting material and
color from the dress. but will be
treated as an entirely separate
item.
PatOu has short pearl gray coats
worn over raven-blue dresses. Jenny
has a vivid green and carrot-red
coat. which she places over black
rayOn lacquered satin dresses.
Sleeveless coats are sponsored by
leading dreSsmakers to give more
Importance TO the full contrasting

and the long train Of the gown. The
inspiring thought about these lovely
flower ensembles is that one need
not take the responsibility and bur
den OF working out these beguiling
fantasies at home, for they are
available at most any millinery shop
or stores which make a speciality OF
outftting brides with wells and
headdresses. Flower hats and muffs

The alluring fitted lace cap and
lace-trimmed veil posed on the seat
ed figure below in the picture IS
Just such as brides-to-be dream of
when they plan their trousseaux.
The distinguishing feature about
this veil is that the rarely beautiful
lace Is inset, instead OF the usual
border arrangement.
There is something very interest
ing TO tell about the veil on the
bride standing TO the left The veil
is made in two sections, so that
after the ceremony the bride can

For the bride who dotes on the
unusual, the veil on the standing
figure centered to the right should
prove an attraction. IL is novel be-

Two Great Battles.
Few visitors who go to Gettysburg
realize that there were two bat

fought to the north and west of the
