fearful. Supposing hunter on the

 Cards can be simple, or quite elaborate. The simplest type is an inexpensive cut-out mat or mask, behind which the snapshot is pasted. In another type. the picture and greeting are printed together on one sheet of photographic paper. You can do this with one of the Christmas card kits sold at camera stores, or any phototinisher can do fl for you at modest cost. And-speak- ing of cost - photographic cards run no higher than ordinary printed or engraved greetings, but far less personal quality.

 So she suggested that. perhaps the wives of the men employed in the royal household might like to join her in this work. There Is but one moment of formality. For one brief second, when she enters the work room, she is Elizabeth, Queen of England, and all the women rise After they are seated and take up their needles. she becomes Elizabeth Windsor, busily sewing. Often she chats with the other women. asking about their families and particular ly about their sons if they have any in the armed services.

 And by the same token, Elizabeth Windsor does not wear elaborate clothes. This is war time and this l. war work. So she dresses ill plain wooen frock, like the rest of the women. The Queen. like the rest carries her gas mask with her and like the others, puts 1t beside her chair to have ready in case of need

SPECIAL SESSION
 OF LEGISLATURE

Hartford, Conn. Dec. 14-(UP)- A special session of the General As- sembly was under consideration to- day to adjust differences between the Federal and State Unemploy- ment Compensation laws-an ad- justment which would save Con- necticut employers an estimated $2,O00 900 in social security taxes during l940.
 A recent revision in the federal law made 1t mandatory for em- ployes to make unemployment con- tributions oil individual wages up to 5000 yearly. The state law, how ever. does not limit, the taxable amount.
 State officials believed an amend ment to the state law to make it conform with the 5000 provision of the federal statute would reduce social security taxes by employers by about $2,O00.0O
 Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin said he had turned the matter over to the Unemployment Compensation Act advisory council for considera- ton.
