 Well, that's certainly Q sur. prise!" ejaoulated Arlene. "oi course if there is anything like better than e wedding it's two we'd dings. But I'd hate like anything to lose Marya from this office! wonder whether they will live with his parents or with hers or take m apartment?

 Eve wanted to warn Marya against continuing her work at Bixby's after marriage. Marya was not the sort to spare herself She would give to her home the same effort that home.keepine wife does and also put in eight ex- 11austing hours day at the store. And to what end?
 Eyes own experience as 0 wage earning wife was not working out any too successfully. She sus- pected that Dick was learning to depend on others for the compan- ionship she was often too tired or too busy to give him.
 But she fould 1t impossible to open this subject with Marya. It would be cruel to cloud the other girls perfect happiness. And 1t would be confession of Eyes failure also. So pride held her silent.

 But it would not bo enough, her heart cried out.

Neckline Styles Hit New High
7hroats Are Couered By Formal Clothes NotO,
 As We'll As By Afternoon Attire

High-styled girls take kindly to the high-necked modes this fall.
 Besides appearing suave and chic, there is something about Q dress with a smart high neck which gives a woman that certain something--otherwise defined as self-confidence.
 Whether you take your high necklines plain or with tiny turn ed-down collar, or with Q pert little bow tied under your chin, you're going to love them.
 Time was when high necklines went hand in hand with street or sports things. Nowadays, you go to tea, dinner, the theater and to for. mai functions with your throat, no matter how lovely 1t may be, well covered up.
 Here's lovely informal after. noon frock of Schiaparoih blue in petit point crepe. It's the kind of q dress which will make your bridge hostess more than glad that she included you in the party. And your luncheon host will be sure to tumble for e pencil to mark you down as 0 sure partner for further dates.
 With its high little collar and crisp bow, if 1t follows closely the mode for higher necklines. The vestee of self material, collar and epaulettes are all cartridge pieat- cd. The epauiettes stand out in in-
 triguing manner over the little circular caps which top the modi- lied lego mutton sleeves.
 Two seams from the waist to the hem make the softly circular skirt gracefully mold the hips. It Is Q medium, just-below.the-c calf length. making 1t ideal for all- around afternoon wear, with or without a coat.
 An interesting gold buckle fast. ems the soft belt and does much to add to the attraetiveness of the frock.

My own private oGPU just slip. ped me the info for another scoop,
 A year ago you were told about the swall elegant hand-knit.cable- pattern wool sweater which Mrs Harrison Williams sprung at one of the resorts. For fall one of Fifth avenues smartest shops Is showing copies of this sweater introduced by "America's best.dressed woman" at $15 per each. While this sweat CT. knit like tight fitting vest of heavy yarns, is outstandingly smart, the big act to remember as you start distributing your MIRA budget for fall Is that ALL knits and ALL knitted clothes even to hats are smarter than they've been in years, and no well-dressed wom. an can afford to miss any knitted tricks.
 If the hips have gone c littlo too bulgy for knitted chic, use c tweed skirt with purposely synchronised twin sweaters.

dentally this idea came from Amer. lea (Ha! Ha!) and even the French admit it's good.
 Among other elastic fabrics to be found this winter arc a number of jerseys, baptized zouka, zoulix and zouangor, all of which look something like tweeds, or hand knitted things.
 As for colors the deep reddish browns, prunes (off.purple tones) and fine moss and old English ivy greens.
 The old fashioned heavy failles and taffetas and brocaded silks and satins are lusciously trimmed with bows and ruchings of velvet, ribs bon and even organdie (Chanel) and make us feel as rich as Croe- | sus.

 CHAPTER xxIII
 Though Bixby's store had been featuring new spring apparel since imidswinter, the approach of East- CT brought new merchandise and new activity to almost every de- partment. Even in the houseware, rugs and draperies Q special effort was put forth to interest prospec- tive Easter brides.
 And although this meant added work in the advertising office Eve, Arlene and Marya enjoyed 1t. Even Mona showed some enthusiasm when consignment of especially smart new hats arrived orle-of-a- kind hats bearing the magic names of famous designers on their lining bands.
 One morning dozen of these hats were sent to the advertising office so that Marya might select several to sketch. Eve looked them over. She smothered an exclama- ton and hurried to the mirror to try on . tiny black and white sailor. Marya cried out, '1ts lovely on you, Eve! Oh, that should make 6 grand sketch"
 Eve tilted the hat this way and that to find exactly the most be- coming angle. Then she turned for Arlene to approve tho result. Tho hat was ciose-fitting and made of black straws It's brim. entirely cov- cred with tiny white violets, was set on to give the effect of Q halo about tho face.

ity Is supposed to have left behind.
This is the machine age, and love has
no place in 1t.
Boys and girls laugh at such nom
sense. irresponsible creatures that
they are, they still imagine that ro-
nance Is its own Justification. They
have the poets on their side, certainly,
and the novelists, the playwrights and
the movie scenarists. The florists,
confectioners and perhaps even the
purveyors Of rice and confetti may be
counted upon for their support. And
it may be that some of the oldsters,
with whimsical memories, may ap-
prove their antics. Doubtless, it Is all
quite wrong, quite unscientinc, but, on
the other hand, it is 50 natural. That,
presumably, Is the only excuse that
may be offered for it.
The postmen 60 their rounds today,
groaning under loads Of cardboard
hearts and paper eupids. Tens of
thousands of young, serious persons and
at least a few not so young are thrilled
by greetings Of love from dear ones
near and far. 1t is the lovers day. 1t
symbolizes all the other days Of the
year, three hundred and sf1ty-four Of
them, that belong to lovers. The

fret and fuss, but there is nothing they

could reasonably expect concessions In

for any attempt to use the debts as q
bargaining weapon could only compli-
cate the situation and make for fur

much delay already"
Now comes Mr.. Macdonald with the
intimation In Parliament that the
range Of subjects which might be con-
sidered at Washington Is as wide as
the asenda laid down by the experts
at Geneva for the World Economic
Conference itself. The prime minister
asserted that :..s British seek an agree
ment with the United States which
will enable them to pursue their Eu-
ropean policy-meaning. of course, the
policy of allowing the Lausanne repa-
rations agreement to stand. That, in
turn, denotes a British expectation of
sweeping reductions in the debt owing

deal with Uncle Sam on the quid pro

been apparent to everybody in this
country that debt revision from the
American standpoint Is unbeatable on
any other basis.

St. Valentines Day.

At first glance 1t is a remarkable
circumstance that the custom of ex-
changing greetings Of affection on Feb
ruary IA should persist in an age which
is supposed to be mechanical and
regimented to a degree destructive Of
all human sentiment. But 1t seems
that the spirit of youth is hard TO kill,
and st. Valentines day appears to be
one Of the manifestations Of 1t which,
defiant Of logic, is abundantly pos
sessed of the power to survive.
OF course. 1t Is generally admitted
that love Is IN anarchistic influence in
world such as ours. The Soviet
wizards of Russia and the technocrats
of Columbia University have no use for
1t. There is no conceivable way in
which it can be fitted into their jig-saw

Britain's New Tune.

It was a vastly different tune that
Prime Minister Macdonald piped in
the House OF Commons yesterday from
the recent mo swapping deal' ebulI-
hons Of Chancellor Of the Exchequer
Chamberlain Q fortnight previous, while
discussing the forthcoming Anglo
American war debt conference. Mr.
Chamberlain indicated that Britain's
determination was to talk about the
debt, the whole debt, and nothing but
the debt. Mr.. Macdonald announced
yesterday that his majesty's govern
ment has now decided to confer with
the United States Government, concur

signs of the times which indicates con.

Justice Is the success which has ag-
tended the efforts Of the Institute Dc
Accion Social In formulating definite
regulations concerning the rights ano
privileges of those who have entered
into certain obligations or bought prop
erty on contract, not forseeing that
their circumstances were to be vastly
altered, and for the worse, before their
promises or engagements were fulnlled.
Many of the working class had been
urged to assume the burdens which
they subsequently found so onerous by
the voluble solicitations of the dealers
themselves. EnthuSed with the same
cheerful optimism, and conflding IN
what seemed to be the candid aSSur-
ances Of the purveyors that they would
find no trouble in meeting the modest
installments on the dates stipulated,
many of the buyers, nevertheless. have
found themselves deprived Of furniture
and other conveniences and appur-
tenances after paying almost the entire
sum originally prescribed.
This organization, sponsoring q more
flexible relationship In civic and COM

cure at least the appreciation Of the

the strict terms Of contracts and agree

no fault of his own, the bupyer Is no
