Banks, from where he can almost
see the lightship. It has been done
many times, and will occur again.
AS the crew finishes its compare
lively light duties at dusk, the radios
are tuned to news broadcasts. And
words about the wars are listened
to with deep interest. For they
remember, some Of them, the after
noon of August 6 1918, when a
German submarine picked up an
SOS sent by the lightship for q
Dutch vessel which was being she'll
ed by the U-boat.
Up steamed the submarine and
shelled the hghtship. First Mate

tain, said the crew hurriedly took

1884. Five miles of shore. she was,
and the high seas rolled and beat
down numerically upon her.
On shore Capt. P. H. Etheridge
started out with the surfmen. But
one of them doubted their ability

to return to shore against the gale.
Damn 1t, man." shouted Ehter-
idge, "the regulations say go but
do not say anything about coming
back"
They went, and came back, and
a Congressional Gold Medal was
their reward.
Fourteen years later the first
lightship was placed over this
morass Of quicksand, upon which
no ship has ever sailed and come
back to tell the tale.
Even now when a storm blows
old Hundred and Five seems to
shudder and murmur as the crew
huddle about the radio, watch the
barometer drop and hasten to make
everything secure.
She Did Sail Once.
For Hundred and Five has a
memory that she never will forget.
It was a time that "the ship that
never sails" did sail. The year
was 1888. A Caribbean hurricane
centered over the shoals and after
a few hours of the blow the crew
found themselves riding over the
shallow bottom towards destruction.
Capt. Claude Austin ordered up
anchor and the 475-horsepower
engine started. Alone on a mad
mans ocean, the ship moved to
sea, riding into the teeth Of one
of the worst hurricanes in the his

were hurt badly, but the remainder
kept her afloat until they could take
her bearings. The ships position

Of the United States for that ex-
plot.

had taught the seamen q bitter les
son. A hurricane struck on August
10, 1899, parted her mooring and
wrecked her without loss Of life near
Creeds Hill Coast Guard station.
But on December % of that same
year the British steamer Ariosto
went down with the loss of 81 lives.
Ten years later the German
steamer Brewster stranded herself

leading his surfmen, saved the crew

lost.
More Pleasant Subjects.
Among themselves, the nghtship's
crew likes to recall more pleasant
subjects, wife and home. life ashore,
hunts, baseball and football. They
know what's going on in the world

not so long ago, when mail was

night, when the horn is brought into

Capt. Willie D. Hudgins' men get
bored and lonely as they spend 60
full days and nights aboard this
ship Nightly so.
Although the sea beside them
abounds in many kinds of fish, the
crew hardly ever fishes. The men
have radios and once in a while
sportsmen come aboard with news
papers and exchange them for a
friendly cup of coffee. There are
card games. New magazines are at
premium.
Most of the officers and crew are
married. Many have children whom
they see only on their 3O-day leaves.
Should one of the children be taken
very i'll, the father would obtain
emergency leave. But getting
ashore is difficult. There is only
the tender that comes out once a
month with fresh vegetables, fruits
and other necessities.

DIAMOND LIGHTSHIP, N. c.,

Such are the men who go down to

lightship that guards the grave
yard of the Atlantic" one of the
most treacherous stretches of the
Seven Seas.

Lightship, old mo. 105," housing a
hardy crew of five officers and nine

It's rich-looking simplicity and tasteful details make it the sort of frock you'll never tire of wearing. The skirt has marvel ously becoming lines, with double panels in front and a single back panel to make you appear taller and simmer. There's soft blousing through the bodice and a choice of sleeve styles: long and full or long and straight-and either style may be above-the-el elbows. But the out standing points of fashion are the attractively shaped yokes and the smart, round neck with its dart trimming. A wonderful accessory" dress, with the high neckline serv- ing as 8 backdrop for your favorlte jewelry. You may like buckled belt, though 8 dressier note is given by a sash that ends in ribbon and ties gracefully in front. Wouldn't sheer wool or silk persey be smart for this stunning frock?

 The greatest mistake the tall woman can make is to stoop when she walks, slump when she sits and otherwise try to make herself feel and look shorter than she ac- tually is.
 This comment comes from Hel- ena Rubinstein, famous cosneticGs expert, who has designed special cultures and makeup to suit 'tha, tall individual. BE PROUD OF YOUR HEIGHT sf < 'aThe tall woman should try to look as if being, tall Is the incest thing in the world" Madame Rtt- binstein continues. "She should re- member that beautiful clothes arg at their best on a person above average height providing her pos- ture is perfect"
 This authority goes on to say that the tall woman should have a generous mouth. Rosebud lips are unbecoming. If her mouth Is small and delicate-looking enough to be out of proportion with the rest of. her body, she should learn to apply lipstick to make 1t seem larger. !.
 Due to self-consciousness about height, altogether too many tall women affect 8 ''norsey walk.s They should learn to stand proud- ly and practice walking gracefully and beautifully.
 OVERCOME s SELF CONS SCIOUSNESS
 Anyone over five feet six should strive for the queenly look. She should avoid coy clothes and cute mannerisms, baby talk and masses of ringlets in her coiffure. Sculp- tural simplicity in her hair-do, dig- nifty in her makeup and poised con- fidence in herself are muSts.
 She should not allow herself to be self conscious when dancing with a man much shorter than she is. The trick here lies in her ability to forget herself completely, enjoy ing the music instead of thinking mistakenly, of course-that every- one is watching and noticing how tall she is or how short the man is.

Shawls are more important as ac-

 ter. Anne Baxter'S kelly-greenl
 one, fringe finished, is vivid
 against a white crepe evening
 gown of intricate draping and
 gathers, held flat by shoulder strap bands. silk fringe, to be worn with black velvet = and tulle bouffant frock. Fragile lace and bright colored crepe are other materials, some spangled with Sequins.
 The capes, though, are the reverse -as practical as they are pretty. Extra handsome are the ones de- signed for 8 matching dress, as 8 claret colored, full length wrap in 3 duvetyn-like fabric, lined in the rose crepe of which its draped gown is made.
 Less dramatic, but an unusual costume-wrap is an aquamarine velvet jacket, cut snug and short, and trimmed in jet beads; it has a huff purse to match, and is worn over a full-skirted, black taffeta with 8 very low neckline.

Household Hints
ShawIs, Capes Drape Hollywood Ey ening Gowns
BUT POPULAR "COVER-UP" STYLES FIND NO TAKERS AMONG THE STARS
By LUCILLE NEVILLE (NEA Service Staff Writer)

Hollywood. .-Premieres have been scarce lately, all the plush-horse events taking place out of town, but Hollywood is having what might be called theater season. Meet the People" is going again; Ladies in Retirement" and the Theater Guilds Tonight at 8:30" series are giving audiences the rare treat of hearing an orchestra tune up and seeing footlights go on.
 They were paying more attention to Constance Bennett's evening gown than to Noel Coward's lines the other night, when she played the feminine lead in "The Disenchanted Heart" Every female in the house was talking about it mad trying to memorize its details: white chiffon, full skirted, with only wisp of the material between the white satin brassiere top and the skirt.
 PREDICTING
 MIDRIFF WINTER
 Paulette Goddard and Lupe Velez have long worn their bare midrif frockS, and got talked about some- thing scandalous for them. Miss Goddard's exhibition rhumba at Red Cross benefit stopped the show, but her gown kept them talking long afterward. It was a white crepe with a wrap-around skirt, split up the front, worn over close-f1tting white shorts; the square-necked bodice was quite plain and there was con- siderable space, filled only with Miss Goddard's tanned skin, before the skirt began.
 So maybe I'm crazy, considering all the "cover-up" styles seen every- where else, but will lay you to 1 that Hollywood wears open midrifs this winter.
 Among the handsomest gowns I've seen were some made for movie cuS- toners, though their actress wear CTS have bought the dresses because they liked them so much. In "No Time for Comedy,I Rosalind Rus sell wears an Orry Kelly dinner gown of white broadcloth, slim skirted and long sleeved, its broad revers turning back from deep V- decolletage accented with a silver spray; a narrow silver kid belt f1n- ished the waist.
 Mary Martin in a Rhythm on the River" nightclub sequence wears one of Edith Heads designs-a white crepe frock with curved, pointed leaves, appliqued in gold and bril- liants, accenting the curve of the hips and bosom. She was especially pleased to find that her newest jew elry-a pair of gold leaf-shaped clip earrings, set with diamonds exactly matched the frock's embroidery.
 Around studio and individual designers workrooms, I've seen lot of shawls and capes for eve.. ming wear. The shawls generally are more decorative than warm such as a black tulle one edged in black

And, oh boy, how swell 1t would be with her new hat. But to wear 1t would be disloyal.
 HERE'S POSSIBLE
 SOLUTION
 Susie told me her plight, and I think I have . solution for her. Here's my answer: Get the becom- ing iair-do named for the wrong candidate but put button bearing your own candidates picture right in the middle of the front curl"
 Only drawback is, some folks might think Susia is sitting on the fence--that she doesn't know her own mind. Poor Susie, if she just hadn't seen those hair-dos.
