WHICH was HLL6IlQeQ Dy everyone who matters socially on the conti- nent, as well as by prominent wis., iting Americans. So great was the crowd that the two successive nights were declared galas.
 Sartorially, it was the smartest event which Paris had seen for 8 long time. The general impression was one of color-which contributed to the brilliance of the occasion and extreme femininity in the var ious styles worn.
 Decolletes Rather Deep
 Fil1ny lace, alone or combined fashioned many of the gowns worn by many of the Smartest women. Paquin,s befrilled Argentina" type of frock and several of the white chiffon banded in black taffetaS were noticed. Chanel's picture even- ing gown of black lace or net with daring shoulder decollete, were also observed. Decolletes, by the way, are reaching new "lows".
 Another very attractive style which many women favor is the deep heart-shaped decolletage com- bined with slender straps and some- times outlined by narrow frill.
 Molyneux shows a white crepe sheath dress with a new decolletage which is both subtle and daring. The bodice front continues in scarf which acquires width at the hem. This is made to fit around the neck, halter-wise, being attached to the bodice by a large strass orna- ment. From then on it trails in pie turesque folds to form rather wide, one-sided train, leaving the back entirely bare.
 Chiffon Prints for Summer
 Printed chiffon should not be overlooked when choosing 8 sum- mer evening gown, especially the beautiful new designs with ultra large flowers or posies splashed on white or light ground. Patou shows one with shaded blue peoples on white ground which is perfect ly beautiful. In it, the straight decollete is finished with large bow of very deep blue velvet rib bon on one side. The velvet forms the low decollete at the back.
 So far as colors in the midas mer picture go, preference goes to white, either all white, or white grounds for prints.

WHAT AILS J. STRAIT AND
 HIS WIFE

HlS WIFE
 Why, oh why, asks many a plump or skinny one, as the case may be, why is it that one person can eat as much as he likes and everything he likes and yet never takes on ex- cess weight, while another literally piles it on in spite of constant care to avoid fattening things and for ever going half starved?
 The conventional answer to this question has generally been a vague allusion to differences of constitu- tion. say nothing about that, for the reason that we know so little about it, but I believe the newer knowledge of nutrition warrants a more rational explanation of the tendency complained of.
 First, where precisely does a state of normal nutrition end and obesity begin? How many excess pounds or inches may an individual carry with out being regarded as i'll of obesity? Gosh, I'd rather not answer that. Even men who weigh or measure half as much again as they should are a bit resentful if you imply they are ailing with obesity, and women, thank goodness, simply won't toler- ate such candor. They may be bit over weight, too stout, too plump have a high waHc" or a high diaphragm" but they never suffer from obesity until they can find nothing ready-made to wear. Never theless obesity begins somewhere even if the dividing line between health and obesity is wide or mov- able one. For that mater, who car say when arteriosclerosis begins Surely the disease has been develop ing for considerable time before we can demonstrate loss of elasti' ity in the artery.
 It is my belief that individual! who eat what they like and as mucl as they like yet do not put on super f1uous flesh happen to be well nour ished, whereas those who decline il vitality and vigor and accumulate excessive flesh notwithstanding fit full dieting" and constant efforts O at least intentions to consume les food happen to be poorly nouriShed

services of a specialist without &C., cepting charity or paying a small fortune. In this instance I ask you to recommend a cardiologist. (Mrs. J. s. S)
 Answer-I suppose you mean 8 specialist who can make and inter pret electrocardiographs? I can't conceive what any one would want such a specialist for, at any price. Better leave such highly technical problems to the judgment of your physician.
 Imagination
 Can you say that Neurasthenia is just imagination? If so. look in your dictionary and see what Webster says about it. co. M. PD
 Answer-I fear we do not under stand each other. In the new book let No. IS Nerves ana f1utrition" offer scientific advice and informa- ton for Glass A neurotics who de- ceive themselves, Class B neurotics who deceive their friends and ordin- ary folk whose nerves are weak or irritable because they don't know how else to account for it." Send twenty cents coin and a stamped envelope bearing your address, for copy of Nerves and Nutrition" You and Webster ana ought to get together on this.
 Myasthenia And MyOtonia
 Some time ago you told about a remarkable remedy -or myasthenia. I lost the clipping, and my sister has myasthenia now. (Mrs. c. l.. P.)
 Answer-The remedy is prostig- min, and only physician can safe- ly administer it. Mayasthenia is pathological muscular weakness s, characteristic expression exaggera- ton of the Zazu Pitts mask. After dose of prostigmir the patient can smile for a while.

Style Chats
By AUDREY AMES

Paris (UP)-Anything goes when it's a matter of combining colors for summer and early autumn wear. It is understood, of course, that there are certain combinations that are becoming as natural as butter spread on bread; dusty pink with black; red, white and blue; navy and white; blue and fuschia; mus tard or beige with black.
 But there are other combinations which are perfectly orthodox and yet likely to be different than Mrs. Jones"s. Take for instance, the de- lightful mixture of chartreuse with violet. Schiapareln uses the char treuse for 8 flowing evening cape which is caught in the center of it's back with 8 wide violet satin rib bon slipping over two sits and turning into sash under the cape.
 Deep royal purple is combined with rusty brown plush in one of Maggy Rouff's evening creations. The satin dress of the purple is made on straight lines broken only by the full godet of brown plush velvet which glshes out of one side.
 Soft sage green makes Molyneux's tailleur, and bright red makes the scarf and accessories. More sum- mery is the heliotrope wool suit whose seams are visible and whipped on the outside with heavy brown wool threads. Brown and blue (and it's navy blue at thaN meet more than once in Paris prints.
 Vera Borea found a print with a navy background and pansies of brown and yellow shades. Chanel seized upon soft silk print which gradually changed its navy and white pattern as it went backward from the hem.

PETITE Judy Starr is only 4 feet 9 inches tall, weighs 85 pounds, and wears a Cin- -derelIa- sized l 1-2 shoe. This pert, vivacious little girl was born in Thomasville, Gay but spent most of her life in West Virginia.

Her family ob- jected to her touring with a band then, as she was only 15, but later relented. Miss Starr has sung on the West coast and with various bands in New York. Now she is sing ing with the man who discov- cred her.

LIGHTWEIGHT ACCESSORIES

Lightweight accessories for sum- mer costumes are made of fine felt, boldly handstitched in contrast ing color. It's a nice idea to match a clever belt and roomy envelope handbag and, if you like, add bo- lero and hat finished in the same fascinating manner.

Henry Mcclellan

Henry Mcclellan was born in We'll
lington, Ohio, November 6, 1854, and
passed away June 2, 1888. His early
life was spent in Wellington, Ohio,
and on December II, 1874, he was

Lodge is Thirty-One.

The local lodge of the Danish Broth
erhood Society celebrated its 31st
anniversary with banquet and dance
in its large hall Saturday evening.
The attendance at the banquet was
likely little smaller than antici-
pated both locally and from neigh
boring lodges; as for instance Min
neapolis was particularly prominent
by not being represented at all. There
were few visitors from each of the
following: ST. Paul and Duluth; and
from Superior and Luck, Wis.
The audience was bid welcome by
Anton P. Hansen, president of the
lodge, who then turned over to Con-
rad Christensen the task of officiat-
ing as POSTMASTER. The program
consisted of a reading by Miss Betty
Jean Oxley, accompanied on the
piano by her mother, Mrs. w. E.
Oxley, both from Belden, Nebr., who
are visiting here; then a banjo solo
by Mrs. Oxley accompanied on the
piano by Miss Meta Nielsen; the
climax was the 8-piece German band
directed by Martin Andersen, all in
full regalia. Short talks were given
by Nels Christensen from Superior,
Wis, and Carl M. Madsen from New
Brighton; and the address of the
evening by Svend Petersen.
The remainder of the evening was
then spent in social visiting and
dancing.

the cabinet has been severely crit
icized.
Spanish War.
Tomorrow it will be twenty-three
months since the Spanish civil war
begun; its immediate end is not in
sight. Rebel airplanes again have
been bombarding Barcelona, Valencia
and other cities along the Mediter-
ranean coast, but the only thing ac-
complished by such wanton bombing
is the killing of large number of
defenseless men, women and children,
and the frightening of those who es-
cape death or mutilation.
Rebel troops appear to have pene-
trated the government lines at one
or two points along the coast high
way between Barcelona and Valen-
cha, but no decisive victory has been
reported. The remarkable fact stands
out that the cities mostly coveted
by Franco and his rebels, namely
Madrid and Barcelona, still are able
to stave off a final attack and CAP
ture.
Neutral military observers-some
of them-aver that they would not be
surprised were the war to end with
a victory for the legitimist govern
ment. A few months ago they dared
not express such an opinion, for then
it was pretty generally thought that
Francois chances were far superior to
those of the loyalists.

partly because Great Britain has been
exerting pressure on the Milan Hodza

all, nobody really wants war at the

Outburst.
While the situation in Czecho-
Slovakia itself was rather calm, Ger
man indignation against the Czechs
was aroused by furious attacks on
them in the German press, appear
ing so suddenly and so well-timed
that one suspected definite dictation
by the government at Berlin. Added
to this was a speech delivered Sum-
day at Stettin by Rudolf Hess, one of
the leaders of the Nazi party; he
policy as a menace to the peace of
Europe-that peace, which, said he,
"has been maintained solely because
of Adolf Hitler's wise and shrewd
measures"
Firmness Lacking.
In some quarters it had been
thought that the British government
would say stern words and prepare
for sterner action because of the con-
tinued Spanish rebel commandments
of English vessels in the Mediter-
ranean; since the outbreak of the
civil war in Spain more than go Eng
lish ships have been sunk or damaged
by bombs and torpedoes, and % mem
bers of their crews have been killed.
But London has made no decisive
move.
This passive attitude on the part
of the Neville Chamberlain govern
ment would be inexplicable except
for the fact that Great Britain is
doing all in her power to cement
the new friendship with Italy, an
avowed ally of Rebel General Fran
cisco Franco. Chamberlain is not

of the city of Canton; time and again
waves of japanese airplanes surged
above the city and let deadly bombs
fall everywhere, and most reports
agree than an appalling loss of life
has taken place; the prevailing esti-
mate is that 5000 persons have been
killed in this latest series of airplane
bombings-and all of them seem to be
civilians.
There have been protests made to
Japan by the British and the French
governments as well as by the United
States, but Tokyo blandIy retorts that
the bombings are military neces-
sity"-and goes on as before.
DisSensiOn.
It is said that General Ii Tsung-
jen in Canton is at odds with Mar
shall Chang Kai-shek, the chief COM
mander of the Chinese forces, on the
ground that Canton has not been
given adequate protection by the
central vernment-indeed, it is
limited that Ii Tsung-jen and his
followers may even desert Chang
Kai-shek and possibly ally them
selves with the invaders. These rum
ors have not been confirmed and
are this week being replaced by 9TH
ers to the effect that the two gen.
erals are trying to effect an under
standing of some kind.
HankOw Endangered.
While Canton, far to the south, is,
more or less, forced to face the fu-
ture alone, the japanese armies are
closing in on HankoW, in central
China-the country's temporary cap
ital. The Chinese positions at
Chengchow have been abandoned,
and the japanese march toward Han
kow is not seriously impeded as the
defenders are Systematically with
drawing, although fighting whenever
it seems purposeful to do so. 1t is
still claimed that the Chinese re-
treat is made for strategic reasons,
but that now seems improbable, and
the belief gains ground that they
flee because they have no other
choice. Even if Hankow falls, that
will not mean the end of the war.
