MADEIRA school graduated
AVA its lovely young girls
Wednesday afternoon at $40
and certainly no prettier spot
could have been selected for
these exercises. 1t was a shady,
heavily wooded dell, with the
guests facing toward a slight in
cline of green grass and to see
the graduates, all gowned in
white organdie and carrying
huge sheaveS of red roses, walk
slowly down the rolling path
I7aS a picture one would always
rem e m b er. Patricia Herbst,
daughter OF DR.. William Herbst,
was one of the graduates, as
was Anne Borden, Mary Gray
and Elizabeth Gentry and nu-
merous others. Afterwards, and
exactly at Z o'clock, a buffet
supper was served and so Ma
deira ended another year.

FASHION SHOWS are coming
4 into their own, very much
so in Washington, and June Is
will find several pretty, pretty
girls in this town, acting as
models for a fashion show, put
on by Anna May Nichols, atop
the Powhatan roof. And-Steve
LIE Sieur and his smooth band
will play their best melodies all
during this parade of smartness
and beauty.
THE Jimmie MoranS, she was
Il the former and cunning
Ce-Ci Alfaro, are leaving around
the last of June for a six weeks
stay in Panama and a visit with
Mrs. Moran'S parents who are
there. Naturally Ce-Ci is pleased
no end, because this will be her
first trip home in nearly three
years and the fact she is taking
her two wee daughters with her
Just adds to the whole thing.
MRS. STANLEY KENNEDY,
W1 sister of Mrs. Sam McReyn-
olds, wife of Representative
McReynolds, of Tennessee, who
is visiting here as the guest of
Mrs. McReynoldS, is being en-.
tertained practically every min
ute in the day and half of the
night. Mrs. Kennedy is most
attractive person with great
charm of manner and in Homo
lulu, where she makes her home
(and has for years. she is titled
The Grand Duchess Of Homo
lulu."

fortunately, Mrs. Mckenzie Davi-
son and Mrs. Drury arrived to
take me out to the farm. The
word unfortunate is used truth
fully, for none Of us knew how
to get to Brooke Johns, so we
went to Laurel, Md, instead.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-A cabinet
officer, a former President and a
Senator warned Germany last night
that she was inviting isolation from
the rest of the world by abusing
Jewish citizens.
Speaking "as a Christian and as a
human being" Secretary of the In
terror Ickes declared on a Nation
wide radio symposium that mo ma
ton can live unto itself alone. The
time comes when neither man nor
nation can live without the decent
respect of their fellow men,
Another on the program OF six
speakers, Senator William H. King,
Democrat, of Utah proposed that the
United States and other nations
sever diplomatic relations with Ger
many if it's anti-Semitic policy is
pursued.
Former President Herbert Hoover
declared Nazi leaders were bring
ing to Germany moral isolation from
the entire world :
Following are excerpts of the talks:

largest contributing factors to the
spread Of the disease"
Other Types Listed.
DR.. Goodman listed other types of
conjunctivitis, explaining, with the
assistance of lantern slides, the
various phases of the disease.
One of the oldest, and most
dangerous, he pointed out. is
trachoma, also known as granular
conjunctivitis. Caused by a small
organism on the conjunctiva, or
inner eyelid, the disease is thought
to have come from Egypt many CEN
turies ago. DR.. Goodman said
trachoma was common in some Sec
tions of the United States, notably
Virginia and West Virginia. Ameri-
can Indians, he said, are particularly
susceptible to the disease, but
Negroes almost never contract this
particular type of conjunctivitis.

Intensive work by Washington
social agencies in alleviating un-
sanitary conditions In slum areas
was cited yesterday by DR.. E. Leon
ard Goodman, clinical instructor in
ophthalmology at the George WASH
lngton University School of Medi-
cine, as factor which would assist
IN clearing up cases Of chronic con-
Junctivitis, which often cause total
blindness.
DR.. Goodman spoke at the first

ton OF Vision, held at the auditorium
OF the District Medical Society, 1718

day was attended by members of
the sponsoring group, Public Health
and other nurses, teachers and in
terested persons.
DR.. Goodman declared that cases
OF phlyctenular conjunctivitis, which
often cause blindness, were prev
alent among children in Washing

trlbutlng causes of the disease, which
also often follows diphtheria.

DAILY SHORT STORY

waiting for Frank to discover that
Katie was really country girl.
Watching them, Essie probably saw
things that we didn't see. At any
rate, or Friday of that week she
asked Katie to go to lunch with
her, and she told her the truth of
the matter. She told her that Frank
thought she was really smart little
lady with a line who had her hooks
out for him.
Katie drank it all in wide-eyed,
and presently it dawned on her that
Essie was telling the truth. She
didn't say word, but got up and
went home and packed her things.
She was gone when Sabina returned
from a theater engagement.
Frank arrived that night to take
Katie out, and when Sabina told
him she was gone he was wild.
Sabina didn't like being snapped
at. You needn't take on so," she
declared. you've already made
yourself the laughing stock of the
town with your antics"
"Oh, is that sol"
"Of course, it's so. The whole
thing was put-up job Cousin Katie
didn't have line. She's really a
country girl who does want to go
into the chicken business. You're
so used to sophisticated and boring
things that you're blinded to any
thing that's real"
Franks lips were compressed and
a curious light came into his eyes.
| Sabina said afterward she wished
she hadn't been so blunt. After all,
it must have been a shock to his
vanity.
Anyway, he left the house and no
one saw him again for week. Ev-
erybOdy thought he was sulking be-
cause of the trick we played on him,
and we decided to let him sulk. Do
him good.
Then one night we decided to drop
around to his apartment after a
cocktail party and take him back
into the fold. But Frank wasn't
home. And he wasn't home the next
day or the next. Essie began to be
worried. There's no telling what she
would have done if the letter hadn t
come. The letter was from Frank
from small town in Kansas. It
simply stated that he had at last
found something in life that was
really genuine, and had, after a
week of persuasion, married it, and
wouldn't Sabina like to visit her
country cousins for a few days. They
had nice man down there they
we're sure she'd like to meet.

Juror Recites Evidence
To Ward OFF MistriuI
By tie Associated Press.

By tie Associated Press.
. NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. l5.-
Shut eyes don't make a nap, G. B.
Curtis convinced a Criminal Court
judge yesterday.
Curtis was a member of a Jury
which returned a conviction in a
larceny case last week. Defense
counsel asked a mistrial, asserting
the 84-year-old juror slept through
the courts charge.
The prosecutor granted Curtis
eyes might have been shut but that
didn't mean he was asleep. So Cur
tbs was brought to the stand yester-
day and convinced the Judge he had
heard everything that was said. The
mistrial was denied.
Evening star., 1938-11-15

Every one knew that Essie was
sore because Frank had Tilted her
'ess than a month ago, but still we
thought it a good idea. Frank was
too sophisticated, too bored with life
and people and things. His face
wore permanent cynical smile. He
was contemptuous of our efforts to
get bang out of life. His women
had to be smart and sleek and Ian
guild or he wouldn't bother with
them.
Oh. 1t would do Frank Damien
good to have a real, honest-to-good-
ness, unsophisticated, innocent coun-
try girl thrust upon him. We relished
the thought.
So Sabina dashed off a letter to
Katie Little, urging her to stop for
as long as she could. Then she
rushed about making arrangements
for a party She called Frank Dam
len and told him her most attrac-
tive cousin from Kansas was going
to visit her and would Frank like
to come to party and meet her?
Frank said he would.
Katie Little arrived week later.
She was all that Sabina had claimed
She wore back-country clothes and
had innocent, trusting eyes and a
complete unawareness. Sabina, feel
ing that Frank might balk at such
a spectacle, rigged her out in dis
carded, but not too out-dated dress,
and coached her in a few of the
niceties of polite society.
The night of the party came and
we could hardly wait till Frank ar
rived and was introduced to Katie
Little. I'll wager that every pair of
eyes in the room was watching
when it happened. Frank never bat
ted an eye. He had perfect manners
when he wanted to use them, and he
chose to use them now. He was not
only polite, but attentive, almost
eager. And Katie, the little idiot
giggled and blushed and carried on
foolishly at such flattery from so
handsome man.
1t was just like Frank to turn the
table on us by pretending that Katie
wasn't any different from the other
girls he'd known. At least, that's
what I thought he was doing. But
toward the end of the evening he
came up to me and he was laughing
She's marvellous! Different! Why
she's got the most original line I've
ever heard. She actually told me
that she was teaching school to earn
enough money to go into the chicken
business"
So that was it2 He thought she
