Paris. (UP)-The Duchess Of
Kent, brown-eyed, brown-haired
former Princess Of Greece, whose
gracious charm has attracted more
admiration than any other woman
in the public eve to-day, arrived
here recently at the conclusion OF
a four and half months honey.
moon.
The attractive Marina, who
bought all her trousseau clothes
at Molyneux, has the tall, slen-
der type Of beauty which sets OIL
any costume to advantage. She
made a colorful picture in the
dingy, dark station as she stepped
down from the platform in a
bright spring suit of deep coral
tweed. A three-quarter length coat,
fastened high at the neck, hung
open revealing a simple skirt of the
same material with two small splits
at the hem line. The coat, which
was unbelted, had the fulness
inserted at the shoulder yoke.
Her small hat, also of the deep
coral tweed, had shallow crown
and a small brim which turned up
all the way around. She wore the
hat tilted bit over the right eye.
A tailored blouse in brown. The
Duke and Duchess of Kent plan to
stay in Paris for several days be-,
fore going over to London to take
part in the Royal Jubilee Celebra-
lions, and if she buys any clothes
here you'll hear about it in this
column.

He unfolded the paper, and she

At that moment Detective Bl-

She made some stammering at

of the letter that she had taken
from Phyllis Faulconer's apart

When she had first seen that let

utterly damaging 1t would be II

The mother of James Mcneil
Whistler has been variously de-
scribed asN"o0e of the saints on
earth, and as a strict Puritan. If
she was a Puritan, 1t came perhaps
from her Scottish Inheritance, for
she was descended from the clan
of the McNeifls of Skye, a number
of whom, with their chief Donald,
emigrated in 1746 to North Caro-
lima, where her father-Dr Charles
Donald McNeill practiced medi-
cine in Wilmington.
Art as culture and art as career
seemed, in Mrs Whistler's philos-
ophy of life, vastly different things.
When her son James was small,
she had encouraged him in his
childish attempts at drawing for
his own amusement. She also made
her children read the Bible and
recite verse every morning be-
fore breakfast. But when James
announced his intention Of devot-
ing his life to art, he was not met
with encouragement -at first.
Her ambition for him had been
a commission in the United States
kAIIllys lag WGAt " w COT = Willy
where-to her intense disappoint-
ment-he failed. Bowling with
grace to the inevitable, she saw
him depart for Paris as an art stu
dent. She remained in America,
but during the Civil War, when
her other son was surgeon in the
Confederate Army, she ran the
blockade to visit James in Lon
don.
It was in 1872 that Whistler
sent to. the Academy in London
the picture called Arrangement
in Gray and Black: Portrait of the
Painters Mother" often and erro-
neously referred to as "Whistler's
Mother" 1t was refused. Sir Will
liam Boxall, friendly to Whistler,
threatened to resign from the
Council If the decision were not
altered. The picture was hung.
In 1881, the portrait was exhib-
tied for the first time in America
at the Pennsylvania Academy, and
the next year was on view at the
Society of American Artists in New
York. 1t served to make Whistler
widely known in his own country
as a painter.
As a contrast to the legends
about Whistler's irrepressible tenn
permanent and his vltriolic tongue
there is Harper Pennington's
story: "Once in his studio we were
looking at the Mother said
some string of words about the
beauty of the face and figure. 1t
was, perhaps, two minutes before
he spoke. Yes very slowly and
very softly, Yes, one does like to
make ones mummy just as nice
as possible!'"
Friends bore witness that no one
could have been a better son than
Whistler. He never forgot her
birthday, he told her all his con-
fidences, Good news he shared

Not true dignity nor honest pride

conceit, vanity, snobbery, AFRO

The late Luther Burbank cele-
brating his 18th birthday anniver-

lawn was not undignified.
Dignity that depends on keeping
your neck stiff and your map froz-

trying to seem important, is hard
on the arteries.
Education, culture, good breed
ing make an individual keep at
least the outward semblance of
calm under circumstances which
are likely to upset the more primi-

of good breeding in a woman to

Or in the "big business executive"

An appeal to all colleges and uni

for Prevention of War.
Mentioning President RooSevelt's
plea for the citizenry to express our
determination to remain at peace with
all nations and our conviction that
permanent peace can and must be at
tanned Throughout the world" Libby
said in a statement:
1T is an encouraging sign in time
like this that hosts of our students are
recognizing the danger of another war
and on November'8 are mobiliZing for
peace. Many of our colleges and
schools at least propose to conform
patriotically with the Presidents
wishes. Every campus ought to see
a demonstration in which faculty and
students unite in expressing their de-
termination that we stay out of war"
