Besides the American Legion Dug out and A. B. Hall. which were early this morning offered for the shelter of Douglas fire refugees, the full accommodations of the Presbyter- ian Church parlors have been placed at the disposal of the fire victims. | fs1s ---- .Ts4s With the traditional Douglas spirit apparently unbroken, weary, smudged with eyes hurting and red from the fumes and smoke that they had been battling in vain endeavor to save first their homes, then some possessions, small groups of pioneer Douglas residents came into the Reiser home, where the American Legion and American Le- zion Auxiliary had set up coffee station, this noon to discuss their losses, and at the same time plan for rebuilding.
 L. w. Kilburn, with four build ings lost in the fire and no insur- ance except small amount on furniture, could still laugh little and talk about starting again, talk ed at length about the loss of the diary he had kept for 38 years. and had just started it onss. the 3sth. Along with this MT. Kilburn said it had been a hobby with him to save clippings from many papers and magazines over long period of years, all of which was lost. Like numerous others all the clothes MT. Kilburn had left were those he wore. %
 Charles Fox, Douglas pioneer and loser of two houses, also talked of building and described the rap- idity. with which the fire spread. Everything they had except few clothes were lost, MT. Fox stated.
 Both MT. Kilburn and MT. Fox said that numerous other houses, including those of Dick and Ed McC Cormick, would have gone save of the excellent fire-fighting ef- fort on the part of the Juneau and Douglas fire departments.

"I often lunch in the Senate restaMrant at the Capitol. Nearly eVery Senator and Representative there smokes, and the number l see take ont a package of Luckies is quite s,arprising. Perhaps surprising is not the suord. Because off and on, eVer since 1917, l myself haVe used Luckies for this sound reason: They really are light smoke-kind to the throat. It's simply common sense that these Senators and Representatives., svh0se vOices must meet the continuous strain of public speaking, should also need e cigarette that is considerate of their throats ... q light smoke"

 A girl in navy flanel slacks and navy polo sweater wore a neck lace which made quite a hit on the beach the other day. It looked like Q life@saver collar and had an sos motif across the front.
 Beach skirts are simply stunning --seem to get fuller and fuller. A blonde who posed under an uin- brella on Miami Beach (she was posing, too--ilever did 90 near the water) wore one of the fullest, in old.fashior1ed mattress ticking (gray and dusty blue stripes) with a matching bra top and brief shorts There's an amazing amount of bare skin between skirt and bra tops around here this season.
 Simple, beautifully tailored aresses are what one lives in when not swimming or playing actively. The biggest mistake any vacation bound gal could make would be to bring only stacks. shorts and evening clothes. Stacks and shorts and eve- ming gowns are as important aS ever, of course, but the life she'll lead down here simply cries for charin- ing variationss of her old friend, the shirtwaister, in lovely new fabrics and fiattering colors.

One of the most popular sunshine fashions Is Q -separate skirt in blanket stripe pop. lin, tightly shirred about the hips, then following out to catch ocean breezes.
