THE VICTORIOUS SUITOR
Edited by Edythe Mae Gordon

O rarest rose, by your consent
| am reborn this day;
I sport in a pool of straight content
Whose balm repeats decay.
Perchance it is loves subjective forms
Debating to my mind;
Amen: against bleak fact it warns;
New worlds | see while blind
The moons not now cold eXpanse,
A rugged orb, and lifeless;
For as a face of elegance
1t smiles on earth now strifeless.
The winking of the stars is shrewd
They seem to understand,
And pleased by our beatitude,
Their humor's bright and bland.
Such is the power of love to alter,
To plate or varnish nature,
To make a trophy of halter,
As its own legislature.
It's smallest draught intoxicates-
Sweethearts on that agree
Never champagne so long elates
Or brings such fuency.
Poor human essence | shall trust
Forever without doubt.
If for no other cause, must,
Than you its ideal sprout.
For so do see you and cannot
Fancy another vision.
Ii is loves sublime eternal lot
To be the hearts physician.
With Wings and Engine

Dear Friend: | recently discovered
that my husband has been unfaithful
to me. | told him that | knew and was
going to leave and take our seven year
old son with me. He has pleaded for
the past week for another chance and
promises that it would never happen
again but can be sure? Ny biggest
problem is that it would break my sons
heart to be separated from his father
as ne is too young to understand what
our disagreement is all about. Ny hus-
band has been a good provider and a
devoted husband as the boy is the apple
Of his eye but he has shaken my conf
dence in him. To him the affair was
just passing one of no importance
but | can't feel that way about it or
sincerely believe that it wouldn't hap
pen again and again. What shall I
do? Mrs. M. W.
DEAR MRS. M. W.: Women have
a habit of putting men on a pedestal
and because they won't stay there safe
and intact at all times cry to the HIGH

Sequins and boasts of a snood (most
hats have either snoods or hustle
backSJ made of soft feathers.
The stunning dress which you see
centered in the picture is styled of
sheer wool in the now-so-fashion-
able grape color. 1t has the very
new and important hustle effect.
Rows of shirring make the detail
at the neckline. A huge velvet rib
bon bow animates her tiny felt pill
box chapeau.
New textures, many of which are
sheer and dainty as chiffon, make
wool an all-year-round fabric that
tunes to occasion perfectly. Then,
too, the fascinating color range pro-
vided in modern woolens has a lot
to do with woods popularity. New
"old" fabrics like melton, duvetyn,
broadcloth, flannel, serge, wool ben
galine and ottoman vie with really
new weaves in sheer woolens. Even
tweeds are much lighter in weight
than they used to be.
Among new finds in the wool fab
ric realm, one of the most appeal
ing types is that of printed woods,
some of them done in hand-blocked
gorgeous forals, others in conven-
tional sports motifs. Metal-touched
woods answer the call for fabric
elegance also. These are effective
for handsome evening jackets.

embroidered or needle-worked with

heavens when they totter or fall. This
Is applicable to men as well. In each
instance the individual forgets that old
saying at is human to err" One of
the best policies l know of is to put
yourself In the other ones place and
ask the question "How would | want
them to decide about me?" 1t hap
pened that it was your husband that
was temporarily attracted to another
woman but just suppose it had been
YOU attracted to another man. What
then? The problem would be the
same. A home, a son and you asking
to be forgiven and saying that it
would never happen again. You see,
my dear Mrs. NJ. W. when the shoe is
on the other foot the picture takes on
a different hue Since such is the case
l am not going to tell you what to
do as after little reconsidering
think you will know what to do. Just
consider what kind of husband and
father he has been, is and wants to
continue to be: whether his word is
dependable or not; the future happi-
ness and health of your son which
assure you would be injured by a
separation; and how much you love
that husband of yours. | believe now,
more than ever, he needs your love,
care and interest. In your hands alone
lies the future happiness, built on a
surer foundation of understanding and
compassion, or a broken home and the
lives Of three people; your husbands,
your sons and yours.

Again a revival of fringe is fore
seen. Very new evening dresses are
enhanced with rows of fringe de-

smart shops are showing both
blouses and jackets that make
fringe their theme.
Long fringed tassel ends finish off
the streamer ends of tie girdles.

Simple Styles in
Shoes Is Favored

Now that designers of shoes have
turned their thoughts in the direc-
ton of simplicity in styling and are
working out the idea of lower heels,
there is prospect of wearied wom-
en- enjoying style plus comfort in
the new footwear. The outlook is
also for some very intriguing shoe
fashions that make the approach to
low heels in strikingly clever ways.

Barcelona Takes Heart
From Sitter Defense

BARCELONA, Jan. 10 R.-The
stiffening of government defense
lines gave Barcelona new heart and
made it a bustling city of wartime
business today in the face of the
gravest insurgent threat to gov
ernment Spain since the civil war
started, exactly two and half
years ago.
The poorly masked worry which
gripped the government capital
when insurgent armies drove with

today. The grayish morning SUM-
light found the streets full of hur-
rying crowds and noisy truck traffic.
The few white-gloved, white -hel-
meted traffic police who have sur
vlved the sweeping conscription de-
crees wore themselves out whis-
ting and waving in the heavy flow
OF vehicles rushing through the
streets with war supplies.
The traditional idle Spanish
stroller vanished from the streets
and pedestrians hurried. The loafers
haven, Ciudadela Park, was de-
serted. A few forlorn animals, still
in their cages in the park, looked
startled by stray passersby. No.
where was there sign Of fright or
panic.

afternoon for John E. McDonough,

Monday night while waiting for ad-
mittance to veterans or service

for an acute kidney disease.
Members Of his family said they
had tried and failed to get him ad-

the Veterans Administration for
proper papers to get him admitted
to Mount Alto, and action was i'm
mediately taken. But by that time
he was in too serious condition to
be moved.
The young soldier and his father,
Bernard McDonough, a chief ma

for that reason the family appealed
to Senator David I. Walsh, Demo-

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Jan. 18.-
This communitys "spy plot" which
had furnished lively corner conver-
sation for almost a week, was dud
today.
Two Hagerstown business men,
who felt the pinch of boycott after
rumors Of sinister plotting by for
eign agents, carrier pigeons bearing
secret messages and foreign flags
being unfurled under cover of dark
ness, helped dispel the myth that
had grown more lurid day by day.
Max Rohder, treasurer of a dough-
nut company, and Albert Beck,
tavern keeper, both declared the en-
tire incident was based on the
establishment here of a branch of
the German Beneficial Union, q
mutual insurance society with head
quarters in Pittsburgh, Pa.
Mr.. Rohder, who was named Ha-
gerstown agent for the society, said
1t was without political connection
but soon they told all kinds of
stories-they said I was a German
spy. The doughnut business fell off
20 per cent and people told me the
reason is am Nazi agent"

Fort Meade Soldiers DispIuy
New Uniforms for Armv

BY the Associated PreSS.
FORT GEORGE G. MEADE, Md,
Jan. 18-With hats cooked at rakish
angles, a nattily outfitted company
of infantrymen paraded before pho
tographers and reporters yesterday
in an advance showing of the Army S
new Slate-blue uniforms.
A hundred men of Company E,
34th Infantry. were selected from
the 1900 soldiers stationed here to
wear the new uniform for a year of
experiment before the Army adopts
it officially. The uniforms also are
being tested at four other posts.
The new ensemble. a departure
from the old olive-dra uniform,
is designed for comfort as well as
style. Wrap-around puttees and
tight breeches have been eliminated.
Coats are roomier and hats are
softer.
In the words of a sergeant with
steel blue whiskers and seven serv-
ice stripes, the new uniform is "the
nuts"
The tests are designed to deter
mine whether the uniform makes
soldiers less conspicuous, whether it
Evening star., 1939-01-18

has greater durability and color
faStness and whether the fabric can
be manufactured with greater ease
than the present olive drab, which
was adopted shortly before the
World War.
The garrison uniform resembles
one worn by air pilots. To give SOL
diers a free play of arm, the backs
of the garrison coats are beloved
and split down the back below a
cloth half-belt.
Trousers worn with the garrison
uniform are similar to those adopted
for the field uniform. The outfit
to be used for field work has a
soft roll collar and is loose for COM
fort. Canvas leggings, similar to
those worn before the adoption of
the wrap-around type, complete the
new ensemble Overcoats also have
gusseted backs.
The greatest change is in the new
hats. The stiff wire formerly placed
in the garrison hats has been re-
moved, with the result the cap can
be worn at angles never seen be-
fore and the cap top can be dented
for a rakish appearance.

Britain Again Refuses
Arms to LoyoIists

LONDON, Jan. 18 (P).-The cab
inet was reported authoritatively to-
day to have reaffirmed Britain's de-
Cision to refuse to sell war material
to the sorely pressed Spanish gov
ernment.
Prime Minister Chamberlain was
understood also to have rejected the
request of Clement R. Atlee, leader
of the Labor opposition, that the
House of Commons be summoned
Immediately because of "the gravity
of the situation in Spain"
Mr.. Attlee had written to Mr..
Chamberlain:
1T Is obvious that the policy of
ron-intervention has now become
the means of insuring that the
Spanish government shall be unable
to provide for its defense against
aggression by foreign power"
While the British policy not to
sell arms applies to both sides in
Spain, it is generally acknowledged
that it does not hamper the insur-
gents, who get material as well as
men from Italy and Germany.
Mr.. Chamberlain. in a session
Of hours 20 minutes, outlined to
the cabinet his talks with Premier
Mussolini last week in Rome. and
Viscount Halifax told of his Geneva
meeting with M. Bonnet, who was
said to have described French fears
that an insurgent victory would
seriously threaten vital French in

cided to maintain the on-interven-
ton policy after Mr.. Chamberlain
hald told Of Mussolini's pledges that
he would take all his troops out of
Spain when the civil war was ended
and maintain the status quo in the
