Lucille packed. Henry took her to
the train He tried not to look as
jubilant as he felt, and she tried not to
look as desperate as she felt.
After all, she was deceiving Henry.
For the first time in the sixteen years
they'd been married she was acting
and living lie. She was not going to
Lola's. She would get on the train,
ride as far as Stamford, then get on
another train. She clutched her bag
with the directions, the folder, the
reservations - her reservation at:

Lucille said. Mrs. Evans will come in

Then the train pulled out. Henry
grabbed taxi and fed back to the
flat. The first of September - until
then he was free!
But how was he going to meet
her? One scheme after another
flashed through his mind. He'd write
her - but he didn't know her name.
Could he bribe the doorman to tell
him? Could he telephone her? On
what pretext? Other men arranged
those matters - but the girls we're
accessible, they rode on the same
suburban trains, or lunched in the
same places. But she merely sat in her

own attributes very much to the fore.
The first thing they did was to cut
and prune her hair, shaping it to her
head, and making sleek black frame
for her face. Then, there were numer-
GUS soapings and steaming under a
vaporizer to strip it of its henna color
ing. When Lucretia's hair was freed
of artificial tints, its jet-blackness
threw into sharp relief her fair skin,
young, child-like features and liquid
brown eyes. The schoolgirl type Of
coiffure created for her was a far cry
from the shaggy Bohemian bob she
was accustomed to wear. There was a
cluster of soft curls mounted near the
front hair-line, the sides we're drawn
sleekly up, and a low roll Rugged the
back of her neck.
The make-upprescribed for Lucretia
aimed at clean black-and-white con-
trasts, relieved only by lipstick in a

experiment from which women of her
type can derive benefit.
When Lucretia appeared before
Miss Coles. she wore a red hat and
coat and matching red shoes. Her face
was made up with circular spots of
rouge and bright cash of lipstick, as
vivid as her clothes. Her eyes were
trimmed with kohl, and mascara had
been used to spread her lashes in
fan-like flare. Curly black hair. thick.
uncurbed and almost shoulder length,
was artifcially frightened with red
henna. The result, as you can very
we'll visualize, was that Lucretia's
natural coloring suffered from too
much competition with color in make
up and dress. What experts did was to
reduce that competition and draw her

to give fresh look. A light applica-
ton of mascara accented long, luxu-
rious lashes, but they we're left un-
curled, and vaseline was used to shine
up the eyelids.
The immediate effect was to soften
Lucretia's facial expression and to
accent young, wide-eyed look. Her
former design in eyebrows, bringing
the inside corners down in sharp little
hooks. had tagged more attention to
this feature than to her eyes. Re
shaped now into natural, sloping arcs.
her brows followed the curves of her
eyes, and framed and pointed up their
interest.
The costume colors selected for
Lucretia may help to steer you in the
right direction. Neutral shades -
gray and beige ~ were found to do
the most to heighten the exotic flavor
of her coloring. The effect of a simple
gray cloth coat with a Peter Pan collar
of Persian lamb, twinned with a pert
little hat of matching fur, was to
throw her black hair and fair skin
into dramatic relief. For contrast, a
lime-green dress was selected. Both
coat and dress we're as quiet in design
as they were in color - simple princess
lines without belts - to create an
illusion of length for Lucretia's short
figure and to accent its good proper
tions. ,
An alternate red dress was chosen,
but it was so conservatively cut that
you forgot its gay color. Dark blue
was found to be more wearable than
black, and a suit of this color. en-
sembled with a scarlet sweater, navy

was highly effective. The most fatter-
ing accent colors, confined to bright
stabs in jewelry and relief notes in
dress. we're gold, terra Gotta. scarlet,
American beauty and hunters pink.
You will find, as Lucretia did. that
brightly colored jewelry will add a
sparkle to your face and interest to
your costume. But avoid garish effects.
A pair of plain gold ear hobs and q
well designed gold clip were chosen
for Lucretia's personal ornaments.
For accessories to wear with her
gray coat and hat, she was given a
choice of black or brown in bag, shoes
and gloves. The red shoes she wore
we're criticized on the grounds that
they violated a fundamental rule of
chic, which makes it mandatory to
keep your shoes dark and inconspicu-
GUS in color, and that they also tagged
undue attention to short, plump legs.
Lucretia's mesh hose we're criticized
on the latter score, and neutral-c -colored,
ine-textured hose we're suggested as
a substitute.

The new line can be flooded wide

and there have been insistant re-

Against the background of what
is happening still about Bunker

The initial punch of the Nazi at

the war. 1t seems possible that
continued Italian hesitation over
taking the plunge into the war car
be traced in part to the miracle
of Dunkerque, as well as rising
Allied hopes of baking the enemy
despite four weeks of appalling
verses.
This seems true, at least: Nazi
air power was not enough to pre-
vent rescue of the great majority
of Franco-British army survivors
in Flanders. 1t raises a question
for Italy as to whether German
Italian air power could cope with
the heavy Franco-British ava
preponderance in the Mediterra-
mean.

The French interpret the Ger
man bombing of Paris and the
Rhone valley as a political move,
not a military measure-and there
are factors which lend a color Of
credibility to that Interpretation.
1t remains to be seen, however,
whether the raids are aimed pri-
marily at French or Italian NOR
ale. They might be an attempt to
encourage h%esitating Italy to jump
into the war; or they could be a
prelude to a Hitler demand on
France to surrender or suffer the
consequences of complete war;.
Whatever the German motive,
the raids also serve to distract
the German peoples attention from
the obvious fact that the huge Nazi
war machine, crushingly victor
GUS in the low countries and north
ern France, is closing it's grip at
Dunkerque on an all but empty
trap. For days Hitler's high COM
rand has promised the German
public that up to a million Allied
troops in Flanders would be an
inflated or captured. Fulfllment OF
that pledge has been baked at
Dunkerque by a miracle of Fran
co-British valor that has thrilled
the world.
Despite the terrible price in lives
and abandoned stores and fighting
equipment, the last scenes of the
Battle of Flanders are turning in
to a moral victory for the Allies
that could influence the ultimate
outcome of the var even more
than could the physical triumph
by Germany. The events at Dun
kerque have already geared Fran
co-British public opinion, stunned
at first by the disaster in Flanders,
to a new fighting tension.
Dunkerque demonstrated some
thing else. It proved that a reso-
lutte defense in foodable terrain
could stall the Nazi war machine,
for all its air superiority and it's
massive armored divisions.
That is vital for the French. par
ticularly. They are standing along
a largely floodable defense line
from the Channel to the Maginot
Notifications, and they know now
exactly what to expect and much
more about how to meet it than

State college seniors we're warned
by Governor Hoey today that they
would be forced to give up some of
their liberties while the nation went
through a period of building up its
national defenses.
Speaking at the colleges 51st

urged Americans to Insist upon
a complete return of all t h e S e
rights as soon as the crisis passes.
Degrees were presented a rec.

group. Governor Hoey was intro
duced by Frank P. Graham, presi.
dent of the University of North
Carolina, of which N. C. state is
a unit. Col. j. w. Harrelson, dean
of administration at the college,
presided.
An honorary degree of doctor
of textile science was conferred
or Charles A. Cannon, Concord
industrialist, Clement L. Garner,
native of Carteret county and now
chief of the division of geodesy
in the U. S. coast and geodetic
survey, received an honorary de.
gree of doctor Of engineering.
1T is so easy to lose rights,
when once they are denied, unless
there shall be a complete restor-
ation,' said Hoey. 1T behooves
us to guard sacredly our heritages
of liberty and freedom and our
guarantees of all civil liberty. Al
ready, before the war crises de-
veloped, we have been gradually
comforting upon boards and bu-
reaus the rights and powers which

the detriment of the business life
Of the nation and the individual
rights Of the citizen"
The governor said that the Uni
ted States, with its great wealth
and resources, had become III e
have nation of the world. This,
he said has aroused jealousy
among some nations and has
caused some of the South Ameri-

continued, with special reference

neighbors in this western world"
Urging a rearmament program,
the governor said all Americans

man, as well as the rich, must
pay for rearmament, he asserted.
