BRIDES CLOTHES

Dear Mrs. Post: Have you ever
seen an ivory dress quite deep)
and a white wedding veil? My
dress is of ivory and now a friend
insists that / take her lovely veil
instead of going to the expense OF
getting one. would like to wear
hers but wondered about the diff
ference in color of the two. Some
friends tell me they have seen THIS
combination and that it looked all
right. Have you ever seen 1t and
what do you think?
Answer: Tulle is so very trans
parent 1t ought to look lovely un-
less you have too much OF IL
punched around your head. so
thick a gathering as to make the
whiteness of the veil very ap-
parent next to the cream OF the
dress might not look very Well
The only way to do is to try 1t on
with the dress and see. As a mat
ter of fact. slight difference in
the tint of white adds to rather
than detracts from the effect.

WEDDING
BY EMILY POST

Dear Mrs. Post: l am invited to
a wedding in church at o'clock
and to the reception afterward.
This reception is being given at a
club and I understand there is to
be dancing as well as dinner. What
type of dress do you advise for a
woman guest, and for her hus-
band?
Answer: A becoming daytime
dress with long skirt-if you have
such a dress. Otherwise, street.
length will be all right especially
if the dress is light in color and
therefore less suggestive of street
wear. Wear a hat with either
dress. Your husband should wear
formal day clothes: Getaway coat,
dark striped trousers, white shirt,
etc

band and l travel with our young
child. what arrangements can We
make for him when stopping at
hotel? Can we have him in our

that he is coming? How do we
register the boy?
Answer: You can always nave

hotel.
It is possible that the hotel can
provide a maid to sit nearby wniie
YOU are out; possibly there is a
chambermaid on duty who couio
hear him if he calls. Or II your
only fear Of him is of a disturbing
noise-an alarm of fire Tor IN

know where the man is who has it.
I've got to 60 now. Goodbye, and
good luck and be very careful"
Hung Up
She promised, and hung up, and
few minutes later was on the
way to Shores hotel. At the
desk. she inquired for his room

phone to announce her.

She was honestly frightened as
she stood outside the door of his
room. True, Brocl; had said there

She shivered. A lot of things

reflected. and she wasn't so sure
they wouldn't. knowing now what
sort of person Rodney Shore was.
II took a lot of courage, but she
finally extended her right arm and
knocked on the door of 1928.
To say that Rodney Shore was
surprised when he opened the door
and found Jill Talbot stepping
quickly past him into the room,
would be an understatement.
He was stunned.

MISSING DoA
She thought he might as well
worry about how she had located
him. 1t would put him on the
defensive and she might surprise
an admission from him about the
missing box.
Besides. she didn't want him TO
know about Bob Brock, or that she
had any other persons in Rawlton
upon whom she might call for aid.
What, why" he spluttered, and
then got control of himself. ITO

Sit down, please"
She accepted chair. not too far
from the door, and glanced about
the room.
II was a large living room, and
she rightly guessed that there was

far wall. Another door was open
slightly. and she supposed that it
was the bedroom.
There was no sign of anyone else

sure that Tony Baredo wasn't in
the adjoining room. In fact she
was certain of II when Shore
crossed the room and closed the
door.

quite recovered himself, and had
lighted a cigaret.
Self-Possessed
He was suave and self-possessed,

he had rallied from the shock she
must have given him.

WOMEN APPROVE
EARLY SHOPPING

The woman who has no inten-
ton OF going through the holiday
season looking much the worse for
wear for having waited until the
last minute to do simply every
thing begins right now to get her
shopping ready for Christmas.
She is determined to face the
holidays with skin smooth and
clear. eyes sparkling. hair shiny
and general disposition excellent.
With all Of this in mind. she quite
logically decides to finish every
necessary duty as quickly as pos
sible. planning ahead for week
or ten days Of peace and quiet
Immediately preceding Christmas.
Obviously. she does her shop
ping right away. Not only does
1t. but wraps each gift. tags it
and has 1t ready for delivery or
mailing. She addresses her cards,
bakes or orders the fruit cakes,
buys tree ornaments to replace
those broken last year and writes
invitations to the people she wants
as house guests during the holi-
days.
DON'T FORGET SLEEP
Meanwhile. she makes sure that
she gets an adequate amount of
sleep each night. She brushes her
hair and pats cream into neck
as well az face before going to
bed. She manages to get out of
the house for a few breaths of
fresh air every day.
BY the end OF the first week in
December. she is ready to make
an appointment for new per-
manent wave, take stock of the
clothes in her wardrobe which
need little attention before the
holidays. plan carefully the en-
tertaining she intends to do and
make out guest lists and put in
early orders with the butcher.
The week before Christmas will
find her smartly coiffed, able to
be presumably dressed for any
occasion at a moments notice and,
even more Importantly, really in
the mood to enjoy the gala season.

ment, the ship was able to severely
damage the more numerous enemy
craft.
1.-The Exeter had to withdraw from
the fight after heavy hits. One Of
the light cruisers likewise was
severely damaged.
THE battleship Graf Spec received
some hits. For the moment the ship
Is in the harbor at Montevideo.
THE British Admiralty announced
the loss of the destroyer Duchess in
home waters"
That the Admiral Graf Specs
battle occurred in the safety zone
around the Americas does not wor-
ry German authorities. Informed
sources said that the British Navy
virtually has blockaded the mouth
Of the Rio de la Plata from the be-
ginning of the war, refusing to rec
ognize the imaginary line drawn
around the Americas by the Panama
Conference. Germany therefore can
disregard it, they said.
AucIc SecIi1eu w NC IloPc Ill 1eA-
man circles that the Admiral Graf
Spec might yet escape, as her guns
are much bigger than anything the
British have in those waters.
DNB, German official news agency,
said that the German battleship
compelled part Of the British naval
forces to seek refuge in Montevideo
before she herself entered port there.
German authorities laid stress on
whether it could be proved that the
British used mustard gas projectiles
during the running battle with the
Graf Spec as involving the often-
announced principle that Germany
will always reply In kind.

Damaged Light Cruiser
Safe in Port, Nozis Say

BERLIN, Dec. 14(P).-The German
high command disclosed today that
a Nazi light cruiser had been DAM
aged slightly by an underwater ex-
plosion, but had reached a German
port.
In a communique it said that
aside from slight enemy artillery
annoyance fire in the region before
the lines between the Moselle and
the Rhine there was uvelier scout
ing activity.
CAT several points prisoners could
again be taken.
During the last few days opera
tions of naval forces occurred in
the northern North Sea. During
the return trip there was an un-
derwater explosion near one light
cruiser. The damage was unim-
portant. The ship returned to a
home harbor"

Is Declared to Prohibit
Repair Of Bottle Harm
~ the Associated Press.

Under the United States concep-
ton Of international law, the Graf
Spec faces internment at Montevideo
unless its commander wants to risk
the open sea without repairing the
harm done by British gunflre
If the German pocket battleship
seeks repair of damage caused by
factors other than the enemy's
weapons, this may be done-pro-
vided it did not increase her naval
strength.
Within "a hours after such per-
mitted repairs were completed, the
Graf Spec would have to leave port,
or be interned for the duration of
the war.
The United States view on inter-
national law with regard to repairs
to a warship is incorporated in the
first neutrality proclamation issued
by President Roosevelt September 5
the one based on international
law. 1t says:
mo ship Of war Of belligerent
shall be permitted, while in any
port, harbor, roadstead, or waters
subject to the jurisdiction of the
United States, to make repairs be-
yond those that are essential to
render the vessel seaworthy and
which in no degree constitute an
increase in her military strength
Repairs shall be made without de-
lay. Damages which are found to
have been produced by the enemy s
fire shall in no case be repaired"
This view, which was also applied
in the World War, is believed here
to prevail in Latin America as well

A Finnish Army communique re-
ported last night the Red Army had

ued fierce attacks, but that counter
attacks cost the Russians great
losses" Five Russian tanks, five
anti-tank guns, four field guns and
many machine-guns were reported
captured.
GA Russian communique from
headquarters of the Leningrad

between IS and 66 miles into Fin

ern front. This would indicate
push of about 20 miles beyond
Markajarvi, where the Russians
were reported Tuesday.
