|members of Prime Minister Cham
berlainss cabinet, as members 81
parliament not in sympathy with
the cabinets foreign policy are
calling for dismissals and change
of front.
Chief reason for the srumpus'
is the unofficial action taken By
Robert S. Hudson, secretary OF
the overseas trade department,
in discussing trade agreements
with DR.. Helmuth Wohltat, Ger
many economic expert. As report
ed in the United States press,
the negotiations were for a re-
ported loan of one billion pounds
to Germany, which was designed
to shift Germany from a wartime
to peace-time basis, calling for
immediate steps to stop all con-
templated acts Of expansion and
aggression with possible handing
over of some colonies to the
Nazis by the British.
Prime Minister Chamberlain
brought much force into his de-
|nunciation Of secretary Hudson's
acts, although. other members Of
the cabinet pointed out that the
secretary was perfectly within his
rights in discussing such pro-
posals.
The press was accused of emr
phasizing the negotiations too
much. bringing on the false sit
.uation of making the moves to
appear at least semi-official
Chamberlain realized that his
enemies both at home and abroad
would Immediately interpret
such maneuvering, if such really
existed, as further appeasement
attempts on his part. That is
the reason. according to reports
from London, why he strongly
offsets any rurnor that the
negotiations are official.
Meanwhile, military moves are
going ahead at a brisk pace in
the Danzig danger-spot Of Eu-
rope. All nations in Central and
Western Europe are proceeding
with plans for huge military
maneuvers to be held next month
and the crisis period IS still ex-
pected to be at or near the 18th
of August.
The Rome Berlin axis appear
ed to BE- pleased with the recent
British Japan conference agree
ments recently made in Tclkib.
They chose to interpret the csal-
mination Of conferences as Fan

ferences, and makes extensive

The only trouble with serving a
buffet supper is that's its almost i'm
possible to make any one start serv-
ing himself. It's a nice idea at the
beginning. You, as hostess, decide
that buffet would be lots less trouble
than setting the table and finding
enough chairs.
Well, you were wrong there. It's
trouble, however you work it. It's
trouble if you can't persuade the
guests to pitch in, because then as
hostess YOU are forced to serve all
the plates and carry them around
one by one.
And its trouble If YOU do persuade
them to help themselves, because it
takes at least half an hour to get
them started.

way to solve the divorce problem is
railroad tickets.
Many fretful. discontented wife
nags at her husband just because
she hasn't anything else to think
about but him and so can concen-
trate on his faults Many a mother
slaps the baby and is cross and un-
reasonable with the other children
and makes the home so unpleasant
that they flee from it to the street.
just because she has fretted herself
into being bundle of nerves. Many
a woman slacks down in her house
keeping and sets her family down
to miserable meals because she is
so tired of ordering dinners and
thinking of what to have for break
fastS and lunches that she can't
think of anything but beef and
potatoes.
Many wife decides she has fallen
out Of love with her husband and
is as cold to him as an icicle because
she is just fed up with looking at
him. And the sovereign cure for all
these ills is a railroad ticket. Change.
A month anywhere will send her

her husband once again as the hero

Routine to Keep
Fresh Looking
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

During the hotter weather, groom
ing can be somewhat of a chore!
With energy sapped by humidity and
heat, 1t becomes pretty difficult for
women to keep up a regular beauty
routine. Yet meticulouS grooming is
a must if we wish to keep as fresh
looking as crisp organdy and as cool
as limeade!
OF course, the daily bath and
shower Is a primary law, and they
become more inviting if we have
refreshing cologne to splash over
our newly bathed skins, and a fra
grant body powder to insure longer
hours Of comfort!
A gay gadget which makes body
powdering less effort. is new
leather soft goats hair brush, which
you whisk gently to have it shed a
mist OF beautifully scented powder!
Its transparent crystal handle con-
tainS months supply of powder,
and refills for it are available at a
modest price. Many a chic lady will

VI course the brush may be used
without the scenting, if you desire,

Says the designer: THE problem in
and around New York in the sum-
mer has always been: How to be
comfortable in a tropical climate,
and how. at the same time, to appear
fully clad. For general daytime
wear I like the opaque spongy cot
tons, which call for next to nothing
underneath. There are closely woven
seersuckers, with plaids and checks
and stripes in distinguished color
ings. These are perfect for casual
tWo-piece dresses that have the
deceptive, formal look of suits.
think We should, without the slight
est hesitation, wear white pique for
town, but wear it in beautifully tai
lored costumes. And there's a new
white cotton, like the army shirting
that Indian officers wear. This, too,
should be tailored precisely, and
sashed with brilliant strir.d In
dian cotton sash.
Polka dot lawns and checked and
plaid ginghams can be put to in
Vulnerable uses. 1 like to make these
classic patterns into dress and
jacket suits, further cooled OH by
quantities of white organdie. At
this point I might add that I claim
no originality in the use of cotton
except, perhaps, for these rather for
NAL town suits. Practically all of
us have seized upon cotton as never
before. l think the wonderful things
the American cotton manufacturers
are doing with this simple fabric
have inspired us. Its clean. quick,
fresh and alive quality is so very
much of today"
Many Advantages
OF Fabric.
The sentiments of Muriel King
are echoed by almost every woman
Never before have we been able to
get much smart, well-made clothes

We have selected and worn cottons,
but always feeling bit of the dowdy
side, for they lacked the chic and
cleverness of fall and winter clothes.
as we'll as the smart lines of sum-
mer attire in other fabrics. Cotton
may be inexpensive or not, but 1t is
cool, crisp and easy to keep that
way. For warm days in town the
material has proved a boon to the
disposition as we'll as the budget,
and the choice of well-made cottons
has been hailed by the business
woman who must look her best no
matter how high the mercury scars
Cotton has lived through a little
Cinderella story all its own. 1t has
climbed from somewhat despised
place in the fashion world to a peak
that is unsurpassed by any summer
mode. And all Of this, thanks to
bit of intelligent fabric manufactur-

OF designers and buyers and the
ready acceptance of a clothes-con-
scious public which knows a good
thing when it sees one.
