Nikola was twice as handsome

CT. GERTRUDE'S garden
~ party which this year will
take place on the 21St of May, is
full of tradition. The most i'm
portant one, to do with Ro-
nance, spelled with a big R. 1t
may be a coincidence, but it has
never failed that the pretty girls
on the committee invariably be-
come engaged a few weeks after
the garden party is over and to
the young men who are helpful
on the other various committees.
For instance, Chita Arguello,
was on the committee; Ben
Cohen, Counselor of the Chilean
Embassy, was willing worker.
Not SO long afterwards they
were married. Marjorie Talman
was another lovely person on
this committee; not so long after
she became the bride of ROdri-
quez of the Chilean Embassy.
Helen Walker, another commit
tee member, shortly married
young Snodgrass; Lib" Draw
ner walked up the familiar mid
die aisle with DR.. Grimes; Polly
Foote and Daniel ODonoghue
were both on the committee.
And-So it goes, and it will be
extremely interesting to see who
is on the committee this year
and also, if this coincidence still
has its orange blossom charm.

 Some crews in Kentucky and West Virginia withdrew hurriedly during the night to avoid being trapped by the flames spreading swiftly through the dry timber.

KIDNAP GANG CONFESSES TO
 KILLING FRIED
Additional Charges May Be Filed as Further In-
 vestigation Made

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Murder charges will be pressed by the New York District Attorney against the members of the so-called kidnap syndicate who are accused of kid naping and murdering Arthur Fried, White Plains business man, and of Kidnapping two Brooklyn residents who were later released after ran- som payments.
 Possibility that additional charges of murder will be placed against the syndicate arose when police digging in the basement of an East Side social establishment where the kid nappers said they had cremated Fried's body, discovered jawbone with the teeth intact which medical examiners claimed belonged to a person recently killed.
 Fried was kidnapped last Decem- Der and killed four days later.
 Joseph Stephen Scoda confessed to the District Attorney that he fired the shot which killed Fried as the victim sat bound and gagged in the basement headquarters of the gang
 After all night questioning, confes- sions were obtained from Demetrius Gula, 30, William Jacknis, ', Johr Virga, 34, and Joseph Scoda in which all admitted helping cremate Fried's body in the basement furnace. .
