 T could keep Lura now, if-if- well, it's this way, Dad. You and mother are willing to spend several thousand dollars more ofl my educa- ton. Could you reason it out that e few dollars a month spent on my family would mean greater happi- ness?"
 "Oh, I begin to see. You mean that we are to help keep you and a wife from now on. Not on your life, boy. I have watched your mother do without lot things to lay by the money for your edu- cation.

 College or Marriage
 "That's true. I understand. But I just thought that if could work this year and save and you could spend the amount 1t would cost eventually in education on my get- ting settled, it would be best for me not to go back to college. Maybe I will be far enough ahead not to need a penny. But third or fourth of my school expenses for a year would be great help.
 Parents put money into education so often that doesn't bear fruit. And they are so opposed to using that same money to establish young man. However, I won't say any any more about 1t. I won't go back on mother or you. I'll do whatever you say"
 There is much to be said for Donald's point of view. After all, marriage also is a career.

THE WOMEN Even Ideal Romance May Have a Dreary Aftermath

And more fmportant-as far as conserving romance is concerned we wouldn't have known how much such worldly matter could mean to two great lovers.
 We wouldn't be aware of the stupid sort of life idlers-even royal, romantic idlers-must lead. If his- tory had recorded it for us, we wouldn't see the lovers become a bored looking, middle-aged couple trying to kill time. History could have made their exile a long TO- mantle idyll.
 And we wouldn't be getting in on this mother-in-law trouble. We wouldn't see the Queen Mother in the role of ordinary mother-in-law creating a problem that woman of charm, boise and wit is having trouble taking in her stride.
 History could have made even this prosaic episode romantic-a lonesome old mother-a loyal son -an understanding and forgiving wife.
 But we are seeing the great TO- nance "as is." And 1t is becoming depressingly real.

 The buffet supper takes the ser- want problem out of American en- tertaining. Elizabeth LounsGery, a well known authority on setting tables, has 8 few helpful buffet hints.
 "At any of these buffet parties, the hostess need have no anxiety about sufficient service. If she can provide a maid to remove the dishes as they are used and empty the ash trays, that is all she has to con- slider for the guests do the rest.
 "Neither does she have to worry about the promptness with which her guests arrive at such meal or about the matter Of dress, for this is determined by the character of the party" Miss Lounsbery says in her comprehensive new book called Lets Set the Table"
 "As to the placing of the table in the dinning room for the buffet supper, I would recommend that a space be cleared for 1t along the wall and the table then phused back against it suggesting a counter rather than a table.
 "When possible, such a table should be seven feet long, or, at least, extended to it's full length, whatever that may be. This type of service necessarily requires the use of more dishes and accessories than at formal meal, and the table will be overcrowded if too small a size is used," she adds.
 Balance Serving Table
 "The heartier foods should be placed at the ends of the table, say roast turkey at one end and at the other a baked ham to be carved by accommodating guests; or cold cuts at one end and dishes of baked macaroni, chicken la king or some equally substantial substitute at the other.
 with the table arranged as I have suggested, there is really no place for the drinkables, and this, I think. is wise, as 1t helps to pre- serve the general effect of the table itself. It is much better to have the decanters, bottles, glasses and bowl

royal or, if dusty, deeply so.
 Mainbocher makes a stunning evening gown for dancing under meath tropical moon of 8 print that combines red and pink flow CTS. An American designer shows a magenta sweater with white slacks. There are bright red and white checked gingham play suits. Marrow stripes, in color combina- tions that would put 8 gypsy to shame, are used for day, dinner and play clothes.
 Even though you aren't going south this winter and, consequent ly, have precious little interest in tropical wardrobes, make a mental note of the new importance of rich and gay colors.
 Whats worn in southern resorts and on cruises in December and January usually is @ pretty good in- dication of what you'll re every where in April and May. And next springs shades won't be subtle. Royalty is expected. And fashion trends are bound to center around the visit of King George and Queen Elizabeth to this country.
 In bathing suits, the early 1900's influence is prevalent. Girls won't go to beaches in voluminous bloom CTS and long black stockings, but many will wear dressmaker suits charmingly edged with ruffling.
 Playsuits remain streamlined. The halter, shorts and bolero outfits are more popular with suntan addicts than shorts and shirts. The best slacks are neatly tailored, trim af- fairs, worn with colorful printed blouses or bright sweaters.
 Skirts Are Full
 Pleated skirts that end just above the knee are new for the tennis court.
 The skirts of day dresses are ul- tra full-pleated, gored or circular. This is 8 silhouette gaining momen- tum by the minute. By spring, it's doubtful that you'll see any slim, straight skirts at all.
 By the way, you needn't worry about waistlines getting higher. If anything, they have taken a slight drop. And it isn't likely that skirts will get any shorter. They're short now. That is, as short as one can wear them and still be absolutely sure that they are flattering to her legs.

FOR CRUISE SPORTS

Simplicity and comfort should be keynotes of cruise sports wear. You might select @ plain, well-tailord sports shirt of striped cotton poplin, with roomy action back, short sleeves and cut amply long to stay well tucked in even during strenuous deck play. Wear with 1t gored, cham bray skirt that matches the darkest stripe in the shirt. One of the slick est seen in the new cruise collec- tions closes with three large buttons at the side and has narrow leather belt that dips cleverly under and over the gores at the waistline. Tan bark, peppermint red and denim are important cruise colors.

of cracked ice on a serving table al one side convenient to the buffet table. Also the coffee.
 "As to the glasses that are to be used, the hostess may select her less elaborate crystal or draw upon her more colorful cocktail and highball glasses, in keeping with the ap- pointments of the table. Fine cut crystal for such a meal would take on the dignity of a formal dinner, and as such would be out of place.

formation, knives in one group and forks in another, or in repetition of knife and a fork for the re- quisite number of guests. Spoons may be placed in similar manner on another vacant spot on the table.
 "The napkins are best folded like a long narrow book and arranged in two or four groups over tapping each other, but in such manner that the decorative motif or hem stitched edge shows"

DOGGY COMFORT

Experts on canines tell us a puppy from six to about twenty four weeks old should sleep at least eighteen hours a day. A wicker bed with a DO Not Dis- turb" sign that bobs up when the pup steps into the basket is a per- tinent reminder that all play and little rest makes an under-devel- oped animal.

After the hearings are over Wash

sense Of fair play in Congress to

special reason why Congress should

Protests Refiection" on
Insurance Company.
To tho Editor ~ 1,hs Ga.

To the Editor Of The Star:
/ was very much interested in letter
written by Mr.. Wallace Kimball and
published by your paper on February IA
referring to revelations of ballot tam
pering by agents of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Co. These revelations"
arose from the testimony before the
Monopoly Investigating Committee by
few Metropolitan agents that they had
forged the names of policyholders to
ballots for election Of directors.
AS one Of the Metropolitans field force
of $4,000 representatives feel hurt and
strongly resent the reflection cast upon
our efforts to give policyholders consci-
entious and faithful service because of
the testimony Of handful of self-ad-
mitted forgers tno longer connected with
the company, believe). More particu-
larly so, when feel that this testimony
was prompted and motivated by a Ger
tain union organization as some sort of
strategic and coercive maneuver to
gain support.
It does seem so unfair for any person
or persons to publicly express a deroga-
tory opinion about general situation
(Which opinion could only have been a
hasty one since the committee hearing
started so recently and, in doing so,
single out particular company and
particular incident when that opinion
reflects on conscientious indi .1duals, on
a great company and on the greatest
social service in the world-l1e insur-

Amending Neutrality

The future course of American for
eign policy is involved in an amend
ment to the Neutrality Act introduced
by Senator Thomas of Utah to permit
the President, with approval of Con-
gress, to penalize nations at war in
violation of treaties to which the
United States is party.
1t is precisely this problem of active
peace efforts which is before the
Nation today but has not yet been
met in fortnight fashion. End
less debate has ragged about entan-
Cling alliances, cooperation with
collective peace machinery, and use
of American armed force in aid of
other democracies, but whether the
United States is to be potent force
for peace with President Roosevelt's
formula Of measures short of war"
but stronger than mere words" has
not been threshed out on its merits.
Critics Of the present neutrality
legislation have contended, however,
that its effect has been to penalize
the victim OF aggression while aiding
the aggressor.
The Thomas amendment is by no
means original. At intervals since
the United States turned down the
League Of Nations bills have ap-
peared to empower the Government
to deny treaty-breakers American
resources which support their wars.
In 1927 1t was the Burton resolution,
in 1929 the Capper resolution, and in
1888 the arms embargo resolution.
The whole question of discretionary
neutrality legislation debated in
Congress in 1886 and 1887 revolved
around the wisdom of giving a free
hand to the President whenever it
should be in the interest of the
country to act with resolution to
halt an aggressor. In the present
case, however, it should be remem-
bered that the Thomas amendment
would permit the President to act
only with the concurrence of
majority OF Congress.
Unlike the European, American
governments have not stood or
fallen on foreign policy since the
campaign of 1920 Consequently, a
clear expression from the mass of
American citizens on foreign policy
has been difficult to get. Only in mo-
ments Of world crisis does America
show its true colors. They have been
anything but neutral
There is scarcely any doubt that
SO far as entangling alliances are
concerned the country is definitely
isolationist, but that it would favor
machinery for American economic
intervention in aggressive conflicts
which violate our treaties might be
established by giving all sides of
American opinion an opportunity
for expression in hearings on the
Thomas amendment.

Hopes Planetarium wiz
Be Built Here.

Dc Duuk
To the Editor Of The Star:
A recent editorial in The S.ar on the
subject of proposed planetarium in
Washington has undoubtedly aroused
interest in this project, and has given
valuable support to the hopes and ef-
forts of the proponents, among whom
are the amateur astronomers of the city,
and particularly the president of their
association, Mr.. Stephen Macy, to whom
your editorial gave well-deserved credit
for his earnest efforts and enthusiasm
in behalf of the proposal.
A planetarium would be most desir-
able addition to the points of interest,
and the educational facilities in WASH
ington. As q year-'round source of in
struction and delight to residents and
visitors its value would be grest. In
Chicago, where first seen in this country,
later in Philadelphia, New York and
other cities, its success and popularity
have been immense. As means Of en-
tertainment and education as q popular
and enjoyable form of scientific exhibition
1t is unique, bringing daily to large au-
diences the principles and facts Of ele-
mentary astronomy.
