Week Here

Abandoning the search for the
missing Soviet filters, Jimmy Mat
tern and his navigator, Hank Jones,
lifted the nose OF their $4,000 twin
motored Lockheed plane off the
PAA-owned Juneau field at o.

Thus ended, in little more than

men who had rescued him in the
Siberian wastes four years ago at
the conclusion of his two thirds fin
ished round the-world flight.
At that time. on August Is. Mat
tern gunned his expensive plane,
originally designed for an Oakland
to-Moscow flight over the North
Pole, from Oakland to Fairbanks in
a nonstop hop.
Last Thursday, week ago today.
Mattern dropped his plane on the
Juneau field. but Immediately de-
MED that he had abandoned efforts
to find the Russians. He previously
had made one flight over the Arctic,
flying low and dangerously.
Several days after his arrival here.
Mattern hoped off on a flight to
in the sub-stratosphere
in an attempt to catch possible ra-
dio calls from the Russians above
the static"
Only one flight Of this type was
made.
Last night after returning from
an impromptu trip to Petersburg.
Mattern completed plans for the
return to the States.
Meanwhile, the search for the
Soviet filters lost in the Arctic con-
tinues from the northern bases.
Mattern talked with his Los An
eles associates by radio telephone
before leaving this morning. He said
ne would have his plane ready for
another dash north again any time
MS presence was required.
Mattern expected to make a nom

IF anyone had entertained the
Il slightest doubt regarding
the vogue for rich and spar
king i4laterails in evening gowns,
she had but to glance about the
diplomatic reception at the
White House last evening to
have that whimsy dispelled.
Beautiful women glittered on
every side, in rich lanes, gold
and silver cloth, sequin en-
crusted material, and fabrics
sparkling with multi-colored
paillettes.
Mrs. Dwight Davis costume
was a hoop-skirted turquoise
and silver brocade with a
shoulder cape. Her jewels were
pearls and diamonds.
Coral and gold brocade fash
ioned the sheath-like gown of
beautiful Mrs. Patrick Hurley,
who wore a cluster Of orchids
which toned in to the colors in
her gown.
Violet ana silver brocade in
a backless, simply fitting gown
was worn by Mrs. Warren De-
lano Robbins, perfect with her
violet tinted hair.
Nine. Rajamaitri was another
beauty glimpsed in gold tissue,
worn with a short matching
cape. A superb necklace of onyx
and diamonds was most becom-
ing with her silken black hair
and creamy complexion.
Multi-colored sequins en-
broidered on black tulle and
satin achieved a striking gown
worn by Mrs. Robert E. Lee.
An antique necklace of gold

Along with the first

know who it was that
decided red cheeks are
beautiful while a ruddy

There is nothing, from
the beauty angle, to be
said in favor of any
nose that is not salts

do the blossoming. It
just has to be subdued
and chastened back to
