The danger of flood moved close:'
today in many sections in the hurri-
cane-hit northeast as the long list of
the storm dead approached 500 and
continued to increase.
In Connecticut, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Vermont, New York and
New Jersey rivers were rising. at
many points rain fell.
Sections of Connecticut appeared
most gravely menaced. At Hartford
1000 booted men, working with des-
perate urgency, piled sandbags upon
the Connecticut rivers dykes along a
half mile stretch Of river front. AL
ready 1,4OO were homeless in that city,
and ten percent of its total area was
under water.
For the storm area generally, ~disas-
trous foundations appeared unlikely,
but fresh suffering and more damage

Mounting slowly but steadily,
the count OF the hurricane dead in

spread floods would be averted.
From Massachusetts, New Jer-

and Pennsylvania, there came re-
ports that the rivers were reced-
ing and even in Connecticut, pre-
viOusly the most gravely menaced,
things looked brighter.
AT Hartford, 1,5C0 booted men

Style Chats

Paris -(UP) - With the birds just beginning to sing, it's a lit tie hard to think of next falls fash ions, but Erik, the hatman, has just offered tip. He's been in North Africa, and his next winter hat in- spirations will come from the Gar den of Allah. His color theme un- doubtedly will pe something picked up on the desert wastes.
 Each year Erik uses one color theme, not only for his collection but for the lapelS on his doorman's livery, the chairs in his salon, his awnings and the dot over the 'p' in his name. This season it is sun yell low. Erik is full of tricks. For in- stance, he concocts his tricky hats on Belle Aurora. Belle has red lips made out of poppies and eye lasheS which would make a movie star shrink in shame.
 Some of the models to which Belle has lent her wooden head this season include Big Apple" num- Der; beret as flat as a pancake, it's up-in-bac movement empha- sized by two life-size wax apples expediently placed. Erik makes "doll hats for evening. No more than 4 inches in diameter, they are held on by elaStics and ribbons and deco rated by all manner of veils, tum- bling peoples and spreading wings. He ties inverted baskets onto the head by means of wide Roman striped scarves, and he makes a new hat fabric out of gold paper which he concocts into stunning sailors. At his recent London debut, he intro duced sailors with opened fans spread across the back.
 i It seems appropriate that one of this tall young Danes principal cus- tomers-along with the Duchess of Windsor - should be the Princess Aage of Denmark. She has chosen a straw cloth beret with Erik's up-in- back movement emphasized by a pile of nasturtiums Another of her hats slightly resembles the rear fen der of an automobile as it dips from back to front. A huge bow and streamers of black fiShnet complete this altogether charming hat.
 Flowers are everywhere in the Erik collection. The Princess Rene de Bourbon -Paume has chosen a toque made entirely of blue silk flowers.

Brush Up on Manners For
 Teen-Age Dances

Which girl are you? Are your manners smooth. and up to date like Kits? Or do you make one blunder after another like poor Sal- ly in the background?
 When Harry says, Where have you been all my life, Gorgeous?" Sally giggles and bushes until he's embarrassed, too. Kit would an- swer gaily, Waiting for this mo- ment!"
 Because no one cuts in, Sally dances with unlucky Pete until they both look wilted. If Kit thinks she's been dancing too long with one partner, she suggests they trade dances with the boy who brought her to the party.
 Arriving at the dance, Sally trails along while her date parks tEe car Kit has her escort drop her at tht entrance, arranges to meet him in side after she has checked her wrap and freshened her makeup in the dresing-room.

 Helpful Cop
 Whitney Bourne, who lives in sub urban Bel Air and is working at RKO in Blind Alibi," overslept for an hour the other morning, awoke at 6:30, and came tearing into town at a 60-mile clip. When overtaken by motorcycle cop, she explained the emergency and was pleased when he nodded understandingly and said Follow me-" At 65 miles an hour, he paced her the rest of the way to the studio.
 But this was a very conscien- tious policeman. Altohugh unWill- ing to retard the progress of the cinema, he was not going to allow a law-violator to escape. He followed Miss Bourne's dash into the build- ing and to the makeup department. While a hairdresser piled curling iron, the officer filled out summons for speeding.
 Habitual Second Wife
 A couple of years ago when Melvyn Douglas and Helen Gahagan were doing a play in New York, their as- sistant stage manager was an out of-luck actress named Barbara ONeill. When the Douglases re- turned to Hollywood she remained on Broadway, got break in Kath- arine Hepburn's "Jane Eyre" was seen by Samuel Goldwyn and signed for the role of the second wife in Stella Dallas"
 In her second picture, "Frou- Frou," Miss O'Neil again is play ing a second wife of Melvyn Douglas. I saw their first meeting since their New York association. The actress was wearing a night gown and was saying her prayers when Douglas came on the set. Miss O'Neil said, Pardon me. God" and interrupted the rehear- sal to go over and greet him. They exchanged chaste kiss.
 Miss O'Neil is crisp little brunei item who reminds you of Rosalind Russell. Everyone at Metro is very pleased with her, and since she has such an im- portant role there are some who expect her to steal the picture from Luise Rainer.
 Back in the days when Kath- arine Hepburn was trying to get start on Broadway. Producer Arthur Hopkins engaged her to understudy Hope Williams, star of the Philip Barry play. Holiday" Night after night, Miss Hepburn stood in the wings and waited for Miss Williams to sprain her larynX or catch cold or something. But she never did, and nobody but the stagehands ever saw the eager un- derstudy.
 She's finally getting her chance, although in the flickers. Miss Hepburn is the star of Columbia's adaptation of Holiday"

gation is Norman z. Mcleod, famed for his delft handling of comedy and acclaimed for the success of his preceding production, Topper"
 In addition to this lavish casting, the sets constructed on the lot for "Merrily We Live" were the most elaborate ever built on the Roach lot. Two of the huge sound stages were used. In one was the facade of 8 Georgian mansion, complete even to the trees, shrubbery and flowers that bordered its walks. On the other stage was the interior of the house, with complete continuity in the arrangement of rooms.
 In addition to this outstanding film there is another big hit de- picting the lives of six of New York's lovliest showgirls, Walking Down Broadway, featuring Claire Trevor, Leah Ray, Dixie Dunbar Phyllis Brooks, Jayne Began and Lynn Barri. Heading the male sup- porting cast is Michael Whalen.

Modern $, N Menus

 No egg was ever too fresh. But freshness isn't always matter o1 time from the nest.
 The Consumers Guide, published monthly by the Consumers Counsel of the Agricultural Adjustment Bu- reau, says this in 8 recent issue: Eggs may be fresh when a mer- chant buys them but they may spoil in store. Eggs are perishable product. In order to keep their quality, they must be kept in cool place. Strictly fresh eggs in a window which is warmed by the sun will not stay strictly fresh very long Eggs kept under proper conditions for five months might taste 'fresher' than those which have been stunned for two days"
 Now that we know that, let's think of less practical matters and plan to have fresh asparagus with Hollandaise sauce for dinner. It's a wonderful business, this aspar- agus and smooth, golden sauce Remember that the sauce is rich in eggs and therefore rich in food value, so don't have too much meat or fish on the same menu.
 This recipe for Hollandaise sauce may be kept over and relocated. It is perfect not only for asparagus but also for broccoli, green cab bage and other delicious green spring vegetables.
 HoIlandaise Sauce
 Four egg yolks, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1-2 cup butter, 1-4 teaspoon salt, dash cayenne pepper IA cup boiling water.
 Divide the butter into three DOT tions. Beat the egg yolks anc lemon juice together. Add one piece of butter and cook in double boiler, stirring constantly unti the mixture begins to thicken Remove from heat, add a secono piece of butter, and stir rapidly Then add the remaining butter and continue to stir until the mix ture is completely blended. Ado the salt, cayenne and boiling wa ter. Return to double boiler ano stir until the sauce thickens.
 One young reader writes to ask if Eggs Benedict ''has anything to do with young men who get married" The answer is both "yes" and mo-" Figure that out and remember that all you have tc do to produce these eggs with the fancy names is as follows: toast slices of bread or split English muffin. O neach piece of toast put thin strip of cooked ham and on top of the ham place a gently poached legg. Cover with hot Hol- landaise sauce and call the young men in to supper. You'll have tc arrange the marriage.

The brave little soul has been his own tutor. No one can get un- der the baby mind, and educate it actually. He has to do all his learn ing and all his reasoning by him. self. He can't understand grownup ways any more than we can under stand the ways of the Incas. Most mothers sense this, and are eX- tremely patient, but once in awhile we find one who expects too much. She is likely to bear down a little too hard on this mite of humanity who is trying so hard to find his way ill complicated mess of great big things and great big people.

He has raced against death in removing mangled men from the wreckage of collapsed building He has faced a first-night New York audience across the footlights. But he never has been so scared as the other day when he had to give Robert Taylor a black eye.
 Just about the worst job Holly woodsman could think of, short of skipping Shirley Temple, would be the committing of mayhem upon the person of a Great Lover. Ot course MT. Taylor is by no means fragile, but he is very very valuable In "Three Comrades" Taylor, Fran chot Tone and Robert Young are set upon by four hulking garage me- chanicS and have a pretty bad time of it until bystanderS come to their aid.
 Of course there were makeup men to assist the four hunkies by painting on the contusions and abrasions, including Taylor's magni- ficent sinner. But altohugh Haade pulled his punches, he nevertheless gave the Great Lover a strenuous knocking around.

 In time, as they pick up words and their meanings, they put two and two together and make five or six, or maybe just three. But they do try, and finally, there it is.
 In this second year they begin to learn what great big people will condemn and what they will per- init.

POLI'S

Constance Bennett, the blonde charmer of Topper" and Brian Aherne, last seen on the screen as "The Great Garrick," are CO., starred for the first time in the new Hal Roach M-G-M production, "Merrily We Live" which opened at the Loew Poli Theater this afternoon. Supporting them is Hol- lywood's outstanding cast of the new season.
 Billie Burke, who scored so suc- cessfully as the Victorian wife in Topper" has the role of Mrs Kilbourne, a philanthropist, whose speciality is the reformation of ho- boes who call at her door. Allan Mowbray, also of Topper" fame, again is cast as butler, but in the current production his role gives him more scope for comedy than the previous one.
 Patsy Kelly, one of the screens foremost comediennes, romps through the role of a cook in the Kilbourne establishment. Her life is made hectic through the enthus- iasms of Mrs. Kilbourne for her ewly-discovered tramps and through the buffers disgust at these humanitarian endeavors.
 In the role of a Senator's daugh- ter whose predatory eye settles upon Miss Bennetts romantic in- terest in the film is Ann Dvorak Gonita Granville, not entirely grown-up, but wearing her first floor length dinner gown in the pic ture, plays the kid sister" in the Kirbourne family. She augments her allowance by threats of black mail and sells petty secrets between members of the family for fancy prices.
 Tom Brown is the "kid brother whose growing up passes unnoticed by members of the family. He is by turns wheedling and rebellious but nothing he does or says upsets the family's mad pace or abstracts them from their individually anus ing interests.
 AS Henry Kilbourne, nominal head of the family, but in reality | es' AAASAASSodhA HID Wl1C UT dI1y of his children, is Clarence Kolb long a star on the stage with his partner, Max, Dill, but now one oi the screens foremost character actors.
 Marjorie Rambeau, for more thar a decade reigning favorite on the New York stage and now widely sought by Hollywood studios fol supporting roles, plays the role ot the Senator's wife.
 Another popular film player lending his talents to "Merrily w Live" is Phillip Reed, "tall, darl and handsome" who plays the rol' of Miss Bennett's discarded suito and acts as foil for the pranks O. Aherne and MoWbray.
 The director of this stellar aggre
