Letters to the Editor
Editor, THE SENTINEL,
Rockville, Maryland.


Rockville, Maryland.
Dear Sir:
l have followed with interest the
articles in THE SENTINEL regarding
the display of old Bibles in Mont
gomery County, and feel would
like to bring to the attention of the
several Societies, represented at the
meetings, my copy of the "First
Annual Report of the Prayer Book
and Homily Society of Maryland
With a List of Subscribers and Bene-
factors, and the Constitution, dated
MDCCCXIX.
This shows that the Society was
organized May, 1918, and in the first
year one thousand and fifty Prayer
Books were purchased and dis
tributed.
From page s.: "The founders of
this institution, which has the honor
of being the First Prayer Book and
Homily Society in the United States,
declared its objects to be &c i. .
The entire Board is also shown;
with the Right Reverend Bishop
Kemp as President, and eight mem
bers as Managers.
There is in this county real
Martin Luther Bible, in perfect con-
dition, with it's very heavy, thick
covers and great clasp; 1 think the
date is 1745.
May I add that upon my enquiry
at the Library of Congress, the
Maryland Historical Society and the
Cathedral Library about two years
ago was told they did not have a
copy of this report.
I trust that this Revival" will
continue.

popular style this season, and
furthermore, it is now being
created in such good quality,
and at such low prices that it
can go into the homes of almost
everybody.
It fits into old houses that
are done over but not changed
entirely, better than pure mod
ern does, and yet it gives you a
complete change, and feeling of
having something new and
fresh.
For Small Apartments
One of the best features Of
the furniture is that it is
scaled to meet the exigencies
of small space. It is neat, COM
pact and very elegant looking.
It combines the quiet grace Of
classicism with contemporary
ideas of utility. And it is
emerging as an American style,
and is even talked of in Europe
as such.
This merging of the new with
the old is seen in fabrics, and
in the small accessories, too,
that go to make up a we'll
decorated home. The reStful
effect and quiet dignity of the
style have made it popular
even for business houses, and
those of you who have been to
the Century of Progress per-
haps know it best as exempli-
fled in the Ford executive Of
fees there.
Space won't permit a discus
sion Of color, which is so i'm
portant to an understanding of
the classic modern, so we will
go into that tomorrow.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-09-10

We all know pure modern.
And then there's another word,
moderne, which means pretty
much the same as modernistic.
When something is extreme,
modernistic, or futuristic, the
decorators call it moderne. And
they usually mean that it's
pretty bad or at least too ex-
IRENE for the average room or
house.
Modern Everywhere
But good modern is found
almost everywhere. Pure mod
ern means a. matter of archi-
lecture as we'll as of furniture,
for you simply can't put good
modern furniture into anything
but a purely modern interior.
It means that you must either
build a house to suit, or must
do your house or apartment
over so that every vestige of for
mer periods has disappeared.
Classic modern effects are
usually achieved by using a
modern background for old
pieces of furniture, or furniture
on classic lines, but painted old
white, or upholstered in light
colors, so that an entirely diff
ferent look is impaired to the
whole room. The furniture looks
modern, but if you examine it,
you will find that it has the
lines of one of the fine periods
of furniture.
Best This Autumn
The better decorators every
where say that classic modern
will undoubtedly be the most

Fall Fashions
Luxurious

OF course you've heard the
theme song of luxury and ele-
gance in formal fashions for
fall. But no apologies for bring
ing it up again, for you will hear
it many times more. All be-
cause it is so true, so much on
the increase, and in for a long
run.
Don't get the idea, however,
that it goes through the whole
mode. For it doesn't. Sports
clothes are still Sportslike-
more so than ever as a matter
of fact. Tweeds, bound or but
toned with leather, rough furs,
rough woolens, low heeled shoes
all attest to the sturdiness Of
the clothes we will wear for the
great outdoors.
For Formally Only
Street clothes take to this
richness only sparingly. Feath-
ers on hats, finer gloves, shoes
more delicately made, and
sometimes lavish use of furs
are about the only ways you can
notice it. In the afternoon
more look of luxury appears,
and by evening, we've gone all
the way.
Fabrics do much toward the
desired effect. In the after
noon We have velvet and satin.
When crepe and sheer woolens
are used, as they often are,
they manage to look rich
through their use of small
touches of fur as trimming, or
metal threads through the
cloth, or equally small touches
of metal as trimming.
When collars and cuffs are
worn, they are fine, of some lux
urious fabric, beautifully EN-.
broidered, or otherwise made to
give look of fineness.

Fur Innings are another note
of richness, and they appear in
the evening as we'll as for day.
time. We used to consider q
cloth-lined coat just a matter
of warmth. And the majority of
fur lined coats were also built
for comfort rather than style.
But now they are really made
for looks, too, and manage to
be smart as we'll.
Some of the loVeliest evening
capes shown in the recent Paris
openings were of velvet lined
with fur. One green one with
mink was cheered and clapped.
Black velvet was often lined
with ermine.
AS for other Innings. they
are lovelier than ever. Fur coats
take fine brocades, and some
of the cloth coats do too. Vel
vet Innings are used in some of
the finer evening wraps, usually
of fur,

Paris Fash ion
Notes

PARIS, Sept. 10.-A new eve
ming gown of the following de-
scription comes to us from Paris.
OF a luscious panSy blue Gel
anese satin, the gown is made
with criss-cross panels in the
skirt. Below this panelled ef-
feet a sunburSt of pleating
falls to the floor and dissolves
into a graceful train. The
bodice of the gown is a bit dar-
ing, but very simple.
It consists of two pieces of
satin which cross at the CEN
ter of the decolletage and fas-
ten to the jewelled collar which
is a definite steal from "Cleo-
patra" as it follows exactly
the motif I wore in most of
my costumes. My back, I
must confess, is bare except
for a strap of satin straight up
the spinal column. In spite
of this fact, however, the gown
is really more modest than a
lot of modern evening gowns
as the width of the collar
covers the shoulders and ex-
tends around the upper back.
Because of the lavish use of
these diamond-cut synthetic
sapphires in the collar the
gown requires no other jewelry
and I firmly believe that the
flattery which such a collar
yields will make it one of the
most popular evening acceSSo-
ries ever launched in formal
fashions. I wear satin sandals,
matching the gown, with a
little row of stones on each
strap after Egyptian influence.
All in all, this sort of gown
is really Cleopatra" from head
to toe and it inspires a very
exotic mood y

thread of rubber when you have
the garment on. It is said to
give much more control, yet at
the same time and magically,
much more freedom and COM
fort.
Men Use 1t, Too
Mems clothes now embrace
lastex as an important factor
in good fit, and comfort, too.
It's been used for a season or
so in mems suits, especially
those for sports and business,
where the wear and tear really
come through constant adjust
ment to different positions. But
it's much improved this year,
and will be more popular.
And now mems hats have it,
fitting the hatband as they've
never been fitted before. Wom-
ems hats have had it woven
right in for two or three sea-
sons, but men are just waking
up to the possibilities of it.
So, look to your lastex when
you buy your clothes in the next
few months. You'll find many
of them better fitted, better cut,
because of it, and you will be
surprised at the number OF ways
it is used.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-09-10


You're probably familiar with
it already, if you've worn lin
gerie with lastex to hold it in
at important places, if you've
worn stockings with a lasteX
band at the top, or the knee
length stockings with a band at
the knee, which were so popu-
lar this past season.
Now it is put into heavy cloth
coats for winter. Woven right
into certain parts of the wooden
so that the coats nip in nicely
at the waist without too much
cutting. So that they can fit
tight and still give you room to
breathe.
Fits Dresses Nicely
It is used in dresses, fitting
them tightly all the way down,
but giving room to walk, and to
dance, in case it's an evening
gown. It fits shoulders snugly,
giving that new look of flatness
and dropping shoulders.
Lastex is used in new ways
for lingerie and girdles, too.
One dramatic picture of a
foundation garment that is just
coming out, shows the lasteX
thread being wound and wound,
round and round. So that you're
really poured into a single

Ran into Kemper Simp-
son this morning. He has
just come back here to live
after being in New York
for several years. His book,
recently out, Introduction

ing heralded very widely.
But this is not the only
thing Kemper has to his
credit. He is an excellent
cook and can turn out the
most marvellous lobster soup
you can imagine.
Every time he gives a
dinner, he spends half of
his time in the kitchen, see
ing that things are what
they ought to be. He makes
an ideal guest as well as
host. On an invitation to
call on friends the other
evening, he arrived with a

DANZIG, July Jews living in

elimination of any sort, DR.. Hermann
Rauschning. Danzig's chief of state,
declared publicly today
Rauschning is generally regarded
to be on moderate terms with the
Nazis. He sent congratulatory mes

which he severely criticized some NaN
policies.
Fears have been expressed" said
Rauschning's announcement, regard
ing treatment of the population, espe-
ciallt the Jewish population, because
of their racial origin and their re-
ligious faith.
Fears of this sort are totally un-
founded, for the constitution OF the
free city of Danzig excluded the pos
sibility that inhabitants might in any
way be limited in their rights on &C
count of their origin or their faith.
Above all measures, an economic
boycott is impossible, since the gov
ernment guarantees every citizen OF
the free city of Danzig his constitu-
tional rights"

But before it is broken, the mer-
curry is expected to soar above the

The break in the heat wave will
