Shanghai, Oct. 28.-(AP)-The Unit
ed States Marines and British troops
offered tonight to aid withdrawal of
Chinese battalion trapped by Jap
anese to end the menace of stray bull
lets falling into Shanghai's interna-
tional settlement with it's thousands
of foreigners, including Americans.
The offer was refused.
The defiant, almost certainly doom
ed, battalion held grimly to a small
area within Chinese Chapel, which
the rest of their army abandoned yes
terday to flames and advancing Jap
anese
Crowds of foreigners and Chinese
have gathered on rooftops despite a
shower of machine gun bullets to
watch the battle along the settlements
northern border, when the American
and British offer of aid was made
There was danger to the interna-
tional settlement, too, on the western
edges and along the French conces-
sion frontier, with a major battle in
progress a suburb in which is located
many of the city's finest homes.
That the final hour of the doomed
battalion was at hand seemed certain
when a Japanese navy spokesman de-
clared Nippon's bluejackets would
mop up ali scattered Chinese in
Chapel.
Japanese naval headquarters advis-
ed United States Marines to take pre-
cautionary measures against possible
severe action to wipe out the Chinese
battalion.

up in weaving Hartford county Negro

The boil weevils damaged the cotton

Dear Miss Fairfax:
'My 15-year-Old son isn't .
bad boy, but he reads too much.
He'll borrow five or six books
from the library, and read them
in bed half the night. Unknown
to him, I took these books to

"She told me the books were

But If he read mystery stories
half the night, it would seem to
me more natural. What do you
think? ANXIOUS"

The air Of nonchalance and ease

from experience, but if you have
been experimenting with some OF
the ideas presented each Thursday
in this column you will have de-

way that will inspire your guests
with awe.
Our party today does not come
in the class of dinner parties that
can be planned and served at a
definite hour. InforInality is the
keynote and hospitality the theme

INFORMAL

that is given for the boys at the

The first thing to be sure about

Black is tops in summer sports
wear, and is seen in many clever
little street frocks, so 1t is no
wonder that it is also in excellent
favor for afternoon, evening, ana
for blistering days in town when
nothing looks quite as cool as the
sheerest black dress you can find
of net perhaps.
Accent Of Color
The new thing about black, how
ever, is that it is nearly always
touched UP with color. This is
true in Paris, where black is al
way the favorite, and where 1t is
seldom relieved with color. It's
particularly true in this country,
and If you'll notice, you will find
smart women in washington wear
ing white or color with their black,
and in generous supply.
Almost any color is good with
black, If it is light enough to give
real contrast. Lemon yellow is
the newest, and white is certainly
the most popular. There is al
ways a certain chic in black and
pink, and at night, the jewel
colors and gold are smart as high
relief to dead black.
Black Lace Trimming
Just to carry our point, we have
a Paris report at hand, which says
that black lace as q trimming on
lingerie is a prominent note in
the summer showingS in Paris. It
Is contrasted with pastel shades,
particularly blues, greens and vel
lows, and is sometimes worn with
all-black. Sounds grand under
black clothes, but not as good
under whites or lighter costumes.
While we're on the subject of
Paris, here are further notes. A

has q tiny gold watch in the cen
ter, and has been seen on two
smart women. A set Of earrings
and a bodice clip made Of daisy

Beauty
To Cure Hives
Change Diet
BY DONNA GRACE

We frequently receive requests
from our readers for something to
cure hives.
Hives can be most annoying,
and then nearly every young per
son, or even those in maturity,
have had some acquaintance with
them; but there is no external
application that will effect a cure,
because physicians tell us the
source Of the trouble is in some
internal disturbance which may
be easily corrected by a change Of
diet; and this change cannot be a
general diet suitable for one and
all alike, but must be special food
combination for each individual
case.
One should consult a physician,
II possible, in every case, but, for
q slight disturbance, 1t may be pos
sible to effect immediate relief by
eliminating one or more foods.
For instance, there are persons
who cannot eat strawberries and
cream who will find when they
eliminate the cream and bread
and butter the strawberries alone
will have no bad reaction.
oysters, Holsters and some other
salt water fish will cause hives
or what the physicians call an
urticaria rash, so when there il
any skin disturbances Of this kind
Just omit one or more Of the foods
in your diet until 1t disappears.
An application Of bicarbonate OF
soda will relieve the itching. Use
oatmeal bags in the bath water
and drink plenty Of water.

orange blossoms from her bridal
