CHAPTER xxx

Ann ran up the familiar stairs
Of Mrs. Toilets rooming house.
She wore a slim little dress and
short fur jacket. A sheer veil
hung from a very small hat, her
shoes had not come from an alley
shop. She tapped lightly on
Clara's door.
"Come in - the d 10 or amt
locked" Clara's voice. Ann went
in, stumbling over a china dog.
The place reeked of cooking cab
bage. artificial flowers sprouted
from every nook and corner.
Hello, Clara--it's Ann"
Clara flew from the bedroom.
She threw both arms around Ann.

squeaied. GEE, you look swell

We always have ice cream on

pride.

said.
''Florabelle was in the store the

Good Taste
Today

The general CONFUSION ABOUT
when to wear hat, and when not
to, has undoubtedly been added to
by the numbers of girls all over
the country who are walking about
on the city streets wrapped in
heavy furs or conventional town
coats and carrying muffs or wear
ing gloves but not hats-unless
the pert little bows with which
many of them tie their blowing
forelocks are to be considered
hats. This habit of the moment
is another proof perhaps that wo-
men are sheep when it comes to
following fashion-moreover, fol-
lowing false scent.
This hatless pattern was set,
as matter Of fact, by the palest
of blondes of decade ago. and
followed by occasional others
since, and now at last by all the
sheep who associate a bare head
with a mink coat and the word
glamour-because of some news
paper pictures of certain New
York debutante whose hair is very
dark. Even so, according to best
taste, a hat is obligatory with
daytime street clothes! Which
brings me to the question of
whether it is polite for a woman
to wear a hat during dinner when
she goes in street clothes to dine
with a friend at her house before
going together to the movies.
The answer to this Is that with
street clothes a hat is always
correct. Although If she were
merely staying to dinner without
intending to 60 to the movies
later. she would probably take off
her hat. But there is no definite
rule because of her daytime style
of dress with which hat is cor
rect. On the other hand, taking
an evening meal in a private
house really requires another type
of dress with which no hat is
suitable.
Dear Mrs. Post: Mr.. and Mrs.
X have been divorced for several
years. They have two grown
daughters, who continue to live
with the mother when they are
not away at college. Mr.. X is
getting married again and he
wants to know whether he should
have announcements sent TO his
former wife's relatives, and
whether they should also be sent
to the daughters at college.
Answer: I can't imagine any
father not writing to tell his two
daughters such news as this! Or
better still. going to see them
to tell them himself. II he has
remained on friendly terms with
some of his wife's relatives. ]
think il would also be in better
taste to write notes or telephone
them rather than send announce
ments.
Naming a Baby Incorrectly
Dear Mrs. Post: My sister made
a mistake and named her baby
John Lee Blank. 2nd.' She
thought this was right but has
now discovered by reading your
answer to some one else that II
should have been John Lee Blank
Jr. How can she change this
error?
Answer: II can't be likely that
his full name has been used often
enough to have any one know
him as End. In any case, by the
time he is old enough to have this
distinction between himself and
his father matter, he can long
have been known as John Lee
Blank. Jr.

BRITONS ARE FREED
OF British Japan
csc Relations Slated To
Be Aired In House

LONDON, Aug. 4. - R - The
arrest and counter-arrest of each
others nationals by Britain and
Japan took a more serious turn
today with the disclosure that two
Japanese, seized here several days
before Japan began rounding up
prominent Britons, had been order
ed deported.
This development in the badly
strained British-J Japanese relations,
edged to a crisis by the arrest
of two of the most prominent Jap
anese bankers in London Friday,
was brought to light by Domei,
Japanese news agency.
Domei said the two previously
arrested were Takayuki Eguchi,
employe of the bank of Formosa,
and Mrs. Milley Yoshii, German
born wife of a japanese painter,
who was arrested July 10 and -,
respectively.
Before Jap Roundup
These arrests thus occurred al
most two weeks before the Japan
csc began their roundup of Is pro-
minent Britons, nine of whom now
have been released, in what Tokyo
officials said was a drive against a
British ''%espionage network" in
Japan. The latest of the Britons
released were identified today by
the Japanese embassy as E. w.
James,, a man named Rich and
j. De Stafford of Nagasaki.
The British indirectly ack-
nowledged the arrest of Mrs. Yoshii
and Eguchi with a brief announce
ment that they had been ordered
deported. Further details were
withheld officially.
Domei said the charges against
them were the same" as those
placed against Satoru Mikahara

ENGLISH AIRMEN
ATTACK CACLIARI
Search Western Mediter-
ranean By Sea And Air
For The Ialian NAVY

GIBRALTAR, Aug. 5 (Monday).-
Up Pilots of British Swordfish
planes told today of a devastating
attack on the port Of Cagliari, on the
Italian island of Sardinia, after they
had vainly searched the entire Medi-
terranean by sea and air for any
trace of the italian navy.
The attack last Friday morning de-
stroyed four italian aviation han
CARS and four planes on the ground
and destroyed or badly damaged
other aviation buildings. One of the
cannon-armed, torpedo &C a rryin e
Swordfish planes was shot down and
another was forced down and cap
tured, while three Italian planes
were shot out of the air, the British
said.
The attack was made from British
aircraft carriers which steamed out
of Gibraltar with other fleet units
Wednesday morning on the 800-mile
trip to Sardinia.
When the aircraft carriers reached
their positions before dawn Friday,
the Swordfish pilots took off with
out lights, but with coordination
which was described as perfect.
One flight flew low to bomb Cagli-
ari harbor and another went high
to attack the airdrome.
The flight attacking the harbor
skinned in at 500-foot altitude.
When their last bombs were
loosed, the planes were no more than
80 feet from the sea.
1.-The harbor was incredibly crowd
ed" said one pilot. "Our first load of
bombs dropped into the water but
the second disposed of two flying
boats we had sighted.
