BERLIN. January 25.-One Of the
most important financial conferences
since the war opened today between
representatives of foreign creditors of
Germany. the Reichbank and govern
ment officials to discuss moratorium
on part of the foreign debt payments.
In the absence of DR.. Hjalmar
Schacht. president Of the Reichsbank.
who left Berlin Unexpectedly last night,
the meeting was presided over by Vice
President Dreyse.
DR.. Schacht's sudden departure on
the eve of . meeting called at his in
vitation was pointed to In banking
circles as substantiating reports OF fric-
tion between cabinet members and Ger

Gently announced cut Of from 50 to
30 per cent in foreign interest and
amortization payments.
Exemptions Granted.
Word leaked out today that Belgium
also is to be given treatment similar
to that to be accorded the Dutch and
Swiss under a ruling by which these
Investors were exempted from the order
reducing interest amounts that can be
transferred abroad.
It was said. however that the agree
ment was being held in abeyance
pending the outcome Of this meeting
and the standstill conference scheduled
for February S, when further discus
| sionS will be carried on regarding the
amount Of foreign credits frozen by
| agreement in Germany.
American and British representatives
Of foreign holders OF German bonds
have expressed particular opposition to
the exemption granted the Dutch and
Swiss.
United States Ambassador William
E. Dodd was understood to have pro-
tested vigorously against the "discrim-
ination" in the matter OF the mora
torium on transfers.

notes to 1872 months, because anything
that tends to a far-of maturity must

 Well" said Amy, "Jane's al- ways exciting and interesting to see and to hear, too. She's the only person I ever knew who-who made her own world-and lived in it without any special attention to reality. Not that I'm sure she's happier for it."

small social events. but it was not so this year. So many Marburg boys had gone 70 the war that there was constant change-wom- en taking over mems jobs, meet ings, rallies, entertainments to raise money. families of soldiers to be looked after. Amy and Mary Jackson did what they could, and Amy realized her plan of a music class and took the organist post, which meant working twice on Sundays and rehearsing the choir besides. She was very busy, but her life was actually lived in the letters she wrot to Howard and his letters she wrote to Howard and his postman feverishly.
 And Howard wrote faithfully, even though most of his letters were by necessity very brief. He was well. he said. in spite of heat and hard work. He had passed his tests triumphantly. He was training for the air now. He hoped

1 to get leave for. few days when he had won his wings. He wished he could fly back and land in their garden. T dream about you in the garden" he wrote. And think of you every minute. You are al- ways with me even when I'm work ing hardest" He sent her a photo- graph in his uniform, but she did not like it. He looked rather older and alien to her and she put it out of sight.
 Miss Rosa came to see Mary Jackson soon after her arrival and the two women liked one an- other we'll enough to promote their slight kinship by blood into a familiar cousinship. Since Miss Rosa's house was central and spa cious, she folded up her bridge tables and turned her big parlor ito a Red Cross workroom, with grumbling good humor and a hidden pleasure to be once more active and in the thick of things. She had war map and moved pins about on 1t with more gusto than accuracy. And it was Miss Rosa who brought Jane back into Amy's consciousness, through Mary Jackson, who told her; ''Rosa's always talking about that niece of hers, Jane, how clever she is, and how attractive and all that she's doing-and she must be rather extraordinary, for take it Rosas far from being a doting aunt, under any circumstances. You knew her very well, didn't you?"
 Amy was dressing Nancy. fresh and sweet from her afternoon nap, curling the, ends of the child's hair over her finger in the way she liked 70 see them. "Oh yes," she said at last, i've were intimate friends, Jane and I. She is awfully clever, yes, and quite beautiful, dark and so alive!"
 Mary Jackson went on: Rosa told me all about the crush Jane had on Howard-Amy, dear, I'm not saying anything painful. am I? I understood that you knew all about it, and Rosa said frankly that Howard hadn't cared a snap about Jane and had told her so. Jane apparently took it rather bad ly, but she got over it right away, according to Rosa"
 Amy brushed the last curl over and took out the blue ribbon to tie around Nancy's head. Tt all seems a long time ago." she said slowly. We were all much younger and took ourselves so seriously. Miss Rosa and Jane were nice to Howard when he first came. Of course he didn't know anyone here and he was in and out of the house a lot and Jane was rather crazy about him. No, it isn't painful to me now-I-I've sort of forgotten Jane, I don't think of her often but it did disturb me at the time. | I was fond of Jane-and then, l was so terribly ir love with How ard"
 She paused and continued more quickly-"Jane's changed a good bit. When she comes back to Mar burg now she's rather gorgeous, grand clothes and talking about big the deals she's put through, you know. Captain of industry stuff Marburg looks pretty dull and small 70 her now. And that's perfectly natural. There now, sweetie- pie" she spoke to Nancy you look very stylish! What do you want to do, play with your blocks, or come down and sing with Mother?" Nancy will sing"
 And what will Nancy sing?" asked Mary. Nancy will sing for Muvver," declared the little girl

Innate Elegance" Is First Requisite of Wispy Frocks For Formal Wear
By JEAN PATOU

(Written for NEA Service) I0ARIS.-There are certain
 summer functions when ,he elegant woman cannot 0osssibly wear one of the now accepted "all-day" suits or ensembles adequate for any and all circumstances. The very qualities of moderation and discretion which they it. lustrate and which save them from premature out-of-date- ness bar them from the more elegant functions which are a feature of the summer season.
 After all, garden party or a race meeting demands formality of dress which, on the other hand. would look slightly ridiculous for the more usual daytime social summer activities. The practical ensemble, which solves so easily l most sartorial problems. is mod ern evolution of fashions, but it has very definite limitations, es- pecially where formal functions are concerned. Hence the formal summer afternoon gown, special class in the dress creators mid summer collections.
 These elaborate and formal models often appear in the light of an accessory, an element intro- duced by the couturier to mark the summer season, but their need soon becomes felt as the season advances. 1 consider them an in- evitable and very necessary addi- ton to the wardrobe of every ele- gant woman.
 Innate elegance is the foremost consideration of these vaporous summer gowns. For this reason, they cannot afford to be mediocre 6 rcreated on a hit-or-miSs idea. The functions at which they will be worn do not permit it. They must also impaN an idea of light ness. freshness and gaiety. These are the principles ruling the cre- ation and execution of the sheer garden party frock and gossamer evening dress.
 always consider the garden party frock, from the point of view of degree of formality, as intermediary between the after noon and evening dress. There are many, in my present collections, which have many points of re- semblance with the evening dress, aas regards length and lack of sleeves. For the daytime, how ever, the shoulders should never be uncovered, no matter how sheer the medium used for the sleeves. It is almost superfious to add that the e-brimmed, fioppy picture hat alone can complete this type of dress. Not only would a small or medium sized hat look out of place, but the large hat serves to enhance the suppleness and lightness of the dress.
 The summer evening gown, usu- ally of printed chiffon, has a very definite and sure asset in its gaiety of coloring. The only drawback is that the line is consequently less clearly defined. 1 usually make it a point to study every detail of | line and cut even more carefully in this type of dress than in a | cvrepe or satin model and always see that the fantasy and fulness, in short, all the frivolity that can be imparted to such a dress be- cause of the extreme sheerness of the medium, is considerably tenn pered,

3.-No. As Prof E. M. East, Harvard biologist shows in his fine book, "Heredity and Human Af- fairs" the element that causes black in sheep is "recessive" and white is dominant" This means that black will Nnly show when it comes from botA parents. which rarely happens. Two black sheep parents can produce only black because they carry only black ele- ments, but white parents can pro- duce black lambs because some white sheep carry the. black ele- ment in this recessive or hidden form. But in human beings 1t is essentially the other way about. white is recessive and black dom- inant; therefore white skinned parents can produce only white. skinned children. This as a very incomplete explanation but fits the essential facts.

1.-The facts indicate this to be true to some extent. In "Ameri- can Marriage and Family Relation ships' Profs Ernest R. Groves and William F. Ogournp eminent soci- ologists, show that ir cities where the highest percentage of women are employed there are the small est percentages of married women. They say the evidence is not con elusive, but tends to show that em- ployment of women delays mar riage and in many cases may dis courage it altogether.
 2.-No, not if we give attention to it. We play golf, walk and eat by unconscious habit and thus do it at least as gracefully as our ana tomicai build permits. Of course we can improve the grace and pre- cision of all movements by careful practice. particularly under in- struction, but the whole aim is to achieve a point where we do them unconsciously--o they will always be clumsy.

T want to look energetic and vivacious," explains the girl who has a calm and placid exterior. What can I do about it?" For answer, we point to Norma Shearer, that charming screen ac- tress who successfully changed her type from placidity to vivacity.
 Miss Shearer used to part her hair almost in the middle. comb it back loosely and knot it on the nape of her neck. It framed her face rather closely, completely cov- ering her charming ears and hid ing part of her forehead and cheeks. Her makeup lacked char acter and her clothes lacked the vivid accents and tailored touches that can do soe much for a ward robe. She was lovely but hardly what you could call dashing.
 Today, however,s she is one of Hollywood's most colorful person. alities. Yousee, she cut her hair, parted it on one side and trained it back from her face in wide, close to -the-head waves, allowing her lovely smooth forehead and ears to show. Then she set about SluQylnS the art Ol eye Ildkcup.
 Norma Shearer uses eye shadow both for daytime and evening = the right shade, of course, and just the right amount. Her lip stick is applied to make her mouth seem wide and full and her pow der is a fiattening shade that brings out the best tones of her skin.
 Remember that a coiffure can determine your type. If you wear 1t one way, you look like a certain type-change it and you become something else. And keep in mind, too, that makeup can do a great deal for you. The pale blonde with colorless lashes and eyebrows becomes a more distinct person. ality the minute she darkens her eyelashes and brows knd the bru- nette adds to her beauty and gla- nor ,ehen she decides on sleek sophisticated coiffure and a lip- stick that accentuates her mouth. It's perfectly fascinating = this

COTTON CURTAINS FOR COUN.
 TRY COTTAGES

Unbleached cotton curtains are smart in country homes and sum- mer cottages. You can have per- fectly plan ones or, if you like, go in for bright cotton binding, vivid ball fringe borders or stem ciled patterns. One woman who has a living room with pale blue walls put up unbleached muslin curtains and tie-backs of royal blue. Another home decorator painted little rows of cat-tails around the edges of her cotton cur tains.

 The great alI-meal dish, that< the omelet. For breakfast, 1uncit~ con, dinner and midnight supper, there's always old faithful.
 You must watch one thing though. It ought to be served inns mediafely. It loses it's golden fiuH- mess quickly if it stands. Turn H quickly onto hot, buttered plat ter and eat at once.
 Plain Omelet
 Allow one egg for each perscn to be served and an extra, egg for the pan. For each egg use 1 table- spoon hot water. Separate yolke and white of eggs. Season y0llxg with salt and pepper and beat we'll, gradually beating in water. Beat whites until stiff and fold the yolks into the whites. Pour into hot, well-buttered omelet pan or Q heavy frying pan and cook slowly until the underside is lightly Drowned. Then put the pan in slow oven, $50 degrees F and baise touch.
 To fold make cut with c spat- ula at right angles to the handls of the pan and about two-thirdB down from the handle. Be sure not to cut more than haIf-wGy through the mixture. Tip the paa, slide spatuIa under omelet and fold it over as you slide it onto the hot platter.
 Other Varieties
 To make jelly omelet, spregd cooked omelet with jelly just be- fore folding. Jam, preserves or jelly can be used.
 Ham Omelet: Sprinkle with q thick layer Of chopped cooked ham, mixed with little minced parsley if you like, before folding. I like to pour a cup of medium white sauce around ham omelet when ready to serve. Chicken Omelet: Before folding omelet, cover with thick layer of diced cooked chicken in rich cream sauce. This is splendid for a party breakfast or "brunch' so satisfactory for summer entertain- ing. Cooked sweetbreads can be substituted for the chicken or you can use fish-tuna, crabmeat, 1ob- ster or salmon.
 OneeSo O1neleL. Sprlnkl0 a LnlCk layer of grated cheese over the top before folding and serve surround- ed by a border of sauted tomato slices. This is inviting for dinner when the day has been hot. If you start varying omelets you will go on almost indefinitely be- cause all the vegetables can be used, mushrooms are delicious and the meats are savory and numer- ouS. fa
