 Hours passed. The secretary went. home after suggesting that Shoemaker might have gone home too. The officers continued to wait.
 After an interval the building was deserted except for the vigil ant officers and a small group of newspapermen. Charwoman were scrubbing the floors.
 Maybe if we hide he will come out" someone suggested. So the party adjourned to a dark corner at the end of the corridor. With midnight not far away back came Shoemaker's secretary.

Church Merger Not
 Expected To Result
Trinity Episcopal and All Souls Will Not Be United If Transformers Wishes Are Respected

Advocates of a merger of the Trinity Episcopal church and All Souls Episcopal church are meet ing with but little encouragement and if the wishes of the elder mem- bers of both congregations are re- spected there will be no union of the two parishes.
 The suggestion that the Trinity church building, a landmark on Prospect street, be razed and re- constructed on the site of All Souls church, was described today as too fantastic to warrant serious thought.
 Senior members of Trinity are averse to the idea of travelling to Hewlett street, while communi- cants of All Souls church, particu- larly from the Overlook section, are decidedly against any plan, which would necessitate travelling ''down town" to church services.
 While there is undoubtedly con siderable sentiment prevalent among members of both churches the practicability of the ideas IS believed by many to raise insur- mountable obstacles.
 It has been reported that many senior members and especially the women communicants of Trinity church object most strenuously to abandoning the Prospect street

The government of the United States has handed back, with ap- propriate ceremonies, a stan of office in the Canadian parliament picked up during the unpleasant ness of 1912. The return of the article was a graceful and ap- propriate gesture. Few countries are separated from their neigh

OWtChar IS One
Of the Largest
Shepherds
BY LIZ HUME

Here's a new one on many
of us, the Owtchar, and it isn't
the name of a rhumba or any
other kind Of dance, 1t is q
Russian sheepdog.
This breed was first brought
into England in Baltic trading
ships, and we're called Russian
terriers-but, according to our
authority, there is nothing Of
the terrier about them, either
in appearance or character.
On the contrary, they are
sheep and cattle dogs of long
descent, and resemble very
markedly the familiar English
bobtail sheep dog.
The Owtchar is the largest
of all European shepherds
many specimens standing 80
inches or more at the shoulder.
They are strongly built and are
capable of defending the flock
against wolves and other pred
atory enemies.
They have massive heads, oc-
casionally cropped ears, and the
general proportions of the bob
tail. That is to say, their
length is equal to their height
fact which sounds very
strange to us.
Their chief characteristic is
a long, dense coat, tangled,
towsled and matted like the
fleece of a neglected Highland
blackface sheep.
Their greater size, untidineSS
and the fact that they are often
seen with the tail of a natural
length are points which distin.
guish them from the old English
sheep dog.

to the heady, exotic perfumes
Just as the color or cut Of a
gown can influence our poise,
so can fragrance influence
our spirit.
Take, for instance, eau de CO.
lognes and toilet waters. They
are soft and soothing and quite
adequate for lazy days in warm
climates, or for those intimate
evenings "at home" after re-
laxing Tubing or shower. Dur
ing such hours we do not oe-
sire a poignant perfume that
would inspire us to dress in our
prettiest gown and go a-step"
ping.
There are fragrances that
definitely raise woman's
spirits, and other fragrances
that soothe tangled nerves.
Some brews nicely complement
gay mood. a coyness, or
give an accent of mystery. You
should choose a fragrance to
work" with you.
If you like floral scents
land they are growing stead
lily in popularity you will be
interested in a toilet water and
perfume that come in match
ing fragrances. To each bottle
of gardenia, violet, sweet pea
or jasmine toilet water is tied
a small bottle of perfume. If
you are one Of those women
who do not like to wear con-
flicting fragrances, and if you
can be lured out to a party
after you have bathed and
fragranced yourself for a quiet
few hours at home, you could
step out perfumed for the oc-
casion by a matching essence.
Or if you are consistent In
your wish to have only the deli
cate fragrance of a toilet

heavier fragrance for night,
