Timothy put the note paper, care

back into his pocket. His fingers
brushed a bit of fluff as he slipped
the paper beside it. He had not told
Charity about that. He had found
it folded in the paper which he
had shown her. It was a single 4

To Refugees
Miss Warburs Tells
Of Getting Children
To Palestine Haven

How Jewish refugee children con-
tinue to find haven in Palestine was
described yesterday by Miss Gisela
Warburg at a tea given in her honor
by the Washington Chapter of
HadasSah at the Jewish Community
Center.
Miss Warburg, a native of Ger
many, first came to the United States
two years ago when she was working
for the transportation of Jewish
children from Germany to Palestine.
Upon her return to Europe, she was
refused readmission to Germany,
Whereupon she transferred her
efforts in the Youth Alyiah Move
ment to England, where she eStab-
lished training camp for 600 Jewish
children. Last year, Miss Warburg
again came to the United States
where she has been touring the
country as chairman of the National
Youth Alyiah Fund-Raising Com
mittee, the sole agency financing the
transfer of Jewish refugee children
from war areas.
i'lof VII
The Youth Alviah Movement has
transported 1897 children from
Europe TO Palestine within the last
year. Miss Warburg said. Two hun
dred children now in Lithuania will
soon be started on their way to
Palestine through Russia, Turkey
and Syria, she added In spite of
increasing difficulties in Transporting
the children from NaZi-COntrOlled
areas, efforts are never abandoned,
she continued.
Since the Youth Alyiah move
ment started six years ago. Miss
Warburg said, 5000 children have
been established in communities in
Palestine. The children are financed
for three years by Hadassah, she
explained, studying part of the time
and doing parttime practical farm
ing. The third year they work for
a farmer without pay and the fourth
and fifth years they 60 out as labor
groups working for pay and saving
their money as group so as to
start a new settlement at the end
the time.
$4,000 Fund Set Up.
It was announced Yesterday that
Hadassah will allot $4,000 as a re-
Volving fund to help these groups
establish their colonies The fund
will be named for Miss Henrietta
Sold. founder of the movement.

versarv next month. She is now in
Palestine directing the work there.
Hadassah also will expand its pro-
gram to care for other young Jewish
refugees in Palestine, who are not
yet we'll esta blished or who arrived
there without the aid of Fadassah.
Miss Warburg was introduced by
Mrs. Henry Segal program chair
man of the Washington chapter.
Mrs. Moe Gutenberg, the president,
also introduced Mrs. Louis Brandeis
as an honor guest. Announcement
was also made of the appointment
of Mrs Raphael Tourover. a past
president. as a member Of the Ma
tional Board.

high in the back and also spliced
there with elastic gussets to control
flesh that spreads under the arms and
bulges over shoulder blades. Each
shoulder strap should have triangular
tabs to sustain weight equally on both
sides of the breast. Half-ribbon and
half-elastic straps are most comfort
able, for they are not apt to cut un-
comfortably into the hesh of the
shoulder.

As for corsets, have them fitted on

curves to your hips. If you are short

reject this single type Of foundation.
1t will be apt to shorten the long torso
line you want to achieve, and it will
have q tendency to pull flesh out of
position and crowd it upward when
you cit OF stretch yourself in proper
posture. A brassiere hooked over a
girdle is better choice.
A high-cut. fiared-top girdle, is the
right type. 1t nips in your waist and
holds the puahed-up hesh without a
bulge. A model girdle shown me by the
corsetiere was of bias-woven elastic,
boned back and front and reinforced
with satin panels. A top lacing can
be used to shrink a waist measurement
two or three inches. Two rows of
lengthwise darts at the hipline are
intended to give the hips more defini-
ton, thus balancing the silhouette.
The type Of bust you have. whether
firm OF pendulous. must be considered
in choosing your brassiere. A firm
bust can be fitted into extra-full cups,
which support and raise. without en-
phasizing. and give center separation
to increase the youthful appearance
of the figure. But the pendulous bust
calls for long vertical fullness. released
from the center of the brassiere, to

THREE sides, the floor and the roof of

Wear cap sleeves for evening dress,

Dark. one-color dresses and suits

Office at the Chicago Daily News and
prepared for a days work, he peeled
off his coat, unbuttoned his vest, took
of his collar. rolled up his trousers,
slipped off his shoes and slid into a
pair of comfortable old slippers. His
desk was a pine table, which he used
as a prop for his legs, for he always
sat far down on his spine with pad of
paper in his lap and his feet high in
the air. He didn't use typewriter
because the noise grated on his nerves.
Scattered around ON the floor were a
