HOll ywOOd Clothes
For Daytime

THOSE glamorous children of Holly
wood have their practical side, too.
They have very little time to spend
planning their personal wardrobes, or shop
ping for accessories, or for making changes
when they're on location. Something simple
and easy to slip into must be at hand for
luncheon on the lot. Street and afternoon
dresses must be just as easy to get into. Only
in the evening is there time to really dress.
The Washington times., 1937-05-22

And so Hollywood clothes have developed a
special suitability. They are exactly right
for the time of day they will be worn, and
they have the essentials of chic and be-
comingness, compact in simple lines. Study
each costume in the wardrobe of any star,
and you will find that it is wearable, beautiful
and suitable for that person and for its occa-
sion. We can learn lesson from every pic
ture on this page.

c. s. G.-I want you to please
tell me what is my trouble and do
l have the thoughts about my hus-
band right in my mind?
Ans.-No .. your thoughts con-
corning your husband are very
much distorted and unjustified.
You will continue to worry so long
as you allow yourself to harbor
these groundless suspicious about
the fidelity Of your husband. He
is more faithful than you are
he is faithful in both thought and
deed.
c. R.-Will / be lucky in getting
job where my brother is working
if / go there and apply like he told
me to?
Ans.-Your brother must have
good reason to believe that you
could get a job where he works,
else he would not have advised you
10 apply there. If you desire a
position there, don't delay in apply
ing any longer, or your chances of
securing one will be less.
M. A-Please tell me if my hus-
band will come back home by Sat
urday and has he got a girl friend
where he is at?
Ans.-Although your husband
will return to you before long, he
will not be home by Saturday.
Yes he has several friends
where he is now, both men and
women but he is not in love with
anyone other than yourself. He
may not have proved to be the best
of husbands, but there is no deny
ing his faithfulness.

You were just cheated out of your

Onair liaisOn man for powerful pO.

entail attorney. He met the beau

CHAPTER 3

A hot wave of anger swept over
Verda.
Moses" she said, tensely.
"Please be kind enough to leave
this room"
"Not before you answer my
question"
All the pent up bitterness in
Verda was voiced in her next re-
mark. 81 am not disposed to an
swer you, and if you have an ounce
of decency, you will leave at once. "
Craddock took step forward
and then checked himself. every
well, Verda. Your ethics are slight
ly misplaced, however, don't let
them make you lose sight of the
fact that you are in scant position
to become difficult"
He turned on his heel and left
the apartment, softly closing the
door.
Verda would have felt better had
he slammed it. She jumped from
bed, hurriedly showered and
dressed, and rushed downstairs to
find Clark awaiting her in his car.
Hurry, please" she begged as
she entered.
Clark saw that she was in state
of turmoil.
"Trouble?" he asked.
"Yes, Clark" she replied sim
ply.
"Want to tell me about it? I'm
pretty good at listening to you, you
know"
For a moment she started to re.
fuse his request, and then decided
that she had better say it now
If their friendship was to continue
and somehow now sitting beside
him she felt that it must-bettel
begin with no deception.
"Clark, Moses and L"
"See here, Verda," he inter
rupted, 81 don't give damn wha

you and anybody but myself

never mention it again. You dea
the cards and I'll lay the stakes
Win or lose, I'm for you hence
forth, now, and forever"
She could barely restrain tn
tears then.
you're fine, Clark. I hope
shall always be worthy of tina
trust"
"You will be. And one othe
thing. If Craddock ever hurts yol
from this minute on, he'll answer b
me and the accounting won't b
pleasant. That's not a promise

at had better. And l am no
fooling about that, either"
Verda rapidly regained her pois
and calm under the spell of Clark
attention. When they arrived a
the Full Moon, most famous of al
cafes in the Black Belt, she wa
her normal self again.
Inside and seated across thu
table from Clark with a delicious
luncheon before her she felt sense
of happiness and content she haC
not known for long time. There
was no mistaling the meaning il
the look he sent her as they dined
Many men had looked at her that
way before, but none had succeeded
in having their glances arouse in
her the reaction she now felt. II

Verda laughed gaily.

have the first call on available
Jobs; that existing grievances
shall be settled comparatively; and
that arbitration shall proceed be-
tween individual hotels and the
union on wage scales.
The latter provision was ad-
vanced after the alliance had re-
fused to approve flat 10 per cent
raise offered by the employers to
all employees. It was pointed out
that some hotels have cut wages
far more than 10 per cent since
1929, and that the union desires
a return to the scale of eight years
ago because "the depression is
over and hotels are enjoying ex-
cellent business"
Active in the negotiations lead

CRASH
DESCRIBEDBY
WITNESSES

SAN FRAN ISCO, Feb. II
I.NSO.-Tre cra Shing Of the
Golden Gate bridge scaffold, which
the swirling waters of the bay was
carried 10 men to their death In
graphically described today by eye
witnesses. Alex johnson, a painter
said:
Twas working on a suspended
cable about 250 feet up when the
thing started. 1t was a tire
mendOus noise like thunder. I
looked down. The safety net
was pulling loose like tearing
cloth, with one end in the water"
81 could see two men in the
water. one of them swimming
and the other hanging on a
floating timber. All of us were
scared stiff. We thought the
bridge was coming down around
our ears.
FLED FROM BRIDGE
I'VE got off the bridge as fast
as we could and called it qpits
for the day. 1t took the Coast
Guard at least Is minutes to
get there. While we were run
ming along the bridge deck to
get off we looked for life pre-
servers to throw down, but we
couldn't find one"
Edward Riley, foreman, said
Il heard a swapping sound
like machine-gun fire. 1t in
creased to a roar. / looked
around and saw the net fall
ing. Two men spilled off and
were clinging to driftwOOd, one
holding the other up. A third
man was swimming alone.
Then the net sank. There
must have been some fellows
trapped in its folds. The jerk
shook the whole bridge"
Net Swept Away
Capt. Douglas Burrowes, Of the
tugboat Tango, declared:
"The net sheared away from
the bridge and lashed toward
the water like a big clever. 1t
ripped back toward the tower,
fell splashing into the water
and was borne away by the
tide. 1 didn't see any bodies
fall clear"
Four Investigations were under
way today to place responsibility
The body of only one of the VIC
tins has been recovered.
Coast Guard boats patrolled the
fast-running strait waters but 1t
was doubtful whether additional
bodies would be found, as all were
believed swept to sea.
Company Denies Charges
Although Timothy A. Reardon,
chairman of the State Industrial
Accident Commission, said no re
sponsibility had been fixed, Frank
c. Macdonald, a commissioner
flat!y and unqualifiedly laid the
blame for the accident with the
Pacific Bridge Company which
erected the Scaffolding.
MacDonald's charges drew di-
rect denials from officials of the
company. Phillip Hart, president,
declared the scaffold was expertly
designed and constructed and was
at all times accessible to inspectors
of both the bridge district and the
accident commission.
