season.
So, since that includes you and,
Of course, you, let's get together and
look at the situation Pictured above
you'll find diamonds all priced at
500 and under. They're smart,
style-worthy and good investment.
What's more, the use of diamonds
can do wonders to pep up your
clothes as well as your morale.
This season it's completely obvious
that there is a trend toward the
d-fashioned type Of jewelry and
this makes it easier than ever to
own a good piece or two. yellow
gold is more prominent today than
it has been in years and the COM
bination of this precious metal and
diamonds has been utilized in some
amazingly effective ways. -.
For example, stone rings sur
rounded by diamonds and set in yell
low gold have the charm and fasci-
nation of antique jewelry plus all
the smartness and chic Of modern
day types. We've recently seen a
genuine zircon and a synthetic sap
phire, both surrounded by diamonds
and both set in yellow gold, which
shows them off to perfection.
In wedding bands, diamonds are
used plentifully and often mex
pensively. For example, bands with
the precious stones all the way
around are amazingly we'll suited to
the budget of almost any BRIDE
groom -to-be. What's more, the old
fashioned trend sneaks in again
and we find wide wedding rings
being chosen as the most desirable
variety. Particularly good are wide
gold bands, delicately fashioned to
represent a garland of leaves with
tiny sparkling diamonds used to
punctuate each leaf in somewhat
the manner of a cleaning berry
peeping out. These are beautifully
done and much in demand by the
smartest women.
To "pick up" costume, mex
pensive diamond lockets of many
types are heartily advocated. One
favorite is a diamond cross with
gold tips suspended on a thin gold
chain. Here is style suitable for
both day or evening, for 1t is highly
effective on a simple sweater or plain
black dress; delightfully."- dramatic
above the decollete neckline of your
favorite evening gown. Or, a lovely
watch set with the cleaning gems
seems to add a certain air of dis
tinction that can be matched by
few other items of jewelry.
The whole point of it is that
diamond jewelry is just as smart
as the costume variety and there
is a much greater satisfaction in
possessing it. Lifetime enjoyment is
obtained from these lovely, new arti-
cles that nearly every one is able
to own. Ever think Of it that way?
Other smart thoughts include the
wearing of diamond clips in many
ways besides the usual dress-orn
menting theory. For example, q

No. 1.-The basis of any good
flower arrangement is sound, prac-
tical flower holder. In response to
many requests these sketches show
a few of the most practical types
of holders available. Most basic of
all is the heavy, rustproof metal
holder of the birdcage type. Flow
ers, heavy branches and foliage may
be inserted at any angle in this
holder. For heavy, tall flowers a
lead holder with partitions shaped
like basal flower leaves is decorative
and practical. Distribute the weight
of the flowers evenly from side to
side to keep this one from tipping.
For line arrangements you need a
pin cushion or needle holder. Keep
these in place in your bowl by fast
ening them to the dry container
with a bit of modelling clay. Then
impale the flowers on the needles
at any angle.

ShOrtcake

Adopt the shortcake as a short
cut to winter desserts. When you're
making hot biscuits anyway, pop a
few extras in the oven. Then mix
together a cup of chopped cooked
prunes and a cup of crushed pine
apple and juice, sweeten with a half
cup sugar, season with a bit of salt
and ginger and thicken with ia
bleSpoon of cornstarch. Serve
warm atop hot buttered biscuits.

Today we're going to take off on
a little flight of fancy, and try to
picture for you what such Dutch
treat system might eventually mean.
Its implications go far beyond the
mere matter of who picks up the
check after a session of hot dogs at
Harry's lunch wagon, or who bustles
up to the box Office at the neighbor-
hood movie.
Let's suppose that girls eventually
attain full equality with men in this
business Of earning a living, and
the man-payS tradition went COM
pletely out of fashion. If that hap
pened, girls would be just as free to
ask boys for dates as boys are to ask
girls. Why not, If they could pay
the freight?
Can't you imagine how a lot of
date-hungry maidens would react
to that situation? Any girl with
Initiative could stage a whirlwind
campaign to capture any boy who
struck her fancy. No longer would
she hang back, biting her nails in
helpless chagrin because the object
of her affections didn't dial her
number.
Under such conditions, feminine
reserve and modesty would soon be-
come old-faShioned, outmoded stuff.
And there would no longer be much
sense in the traditional courtesies
which men have long shown wom-
en-. Chivalry would be a dead word.
The only politeness still doing busi-
hess would be the kind of polite
ness which well-bred fellows and
girls now show to members of their
own sex.
Maybe these suppositions seem
rather far-fetched to you. But why
should fellow show any chivalry to
a girl who is competing with him
strenuously in the job market? Why
should man feel it his duty to look
after the female of the species when
said female is more capable than he
of performing that little chore?
These are perfectly logical ques-
tions if you're going to look at the
dating problem from mere dol
lars-and-cents viewpoint. And it's
easy to see that changing the man.
pays standard might very we'll lead
to some pretty drastic changes in
the general social relationships of
fellows and girls. We don't think
those changes would make anybody
very happy.
Moreover, we don't think this
thing can be considered as a mere
matter of dollars and cents. Well
admit it could be if, in the past,
John paid for the costs of dating
Jane merely because he happened to
have the folding money, while she
had none. In that case, if conditions
have changed and Jane now has as
much money to spend as John, she
can share the dating costs without
altering any vital part of their re-
lationship with each other.
On the other hand, if the ancient
man-payS standard was based not
on mere financial considerations, but
on deep and fundamental principle
of masculine and feminine psy-
chology, it can't be abandoned with
out upsetting the romantic apple
cart and causing lot of grief all
around.
We are strongly inclined toward
the latter viewpoint. We don't be-
lieve men have picked up the checks
all these years just because women
were dependent on them, economic
ally. Instead, we think they have
also been instinctively carrying out
their destined role of masculine
dominance in romantic affairs.
And we believe that it's i'm

Slicina Raisins

For the youngster who loves to
help but still seems to be a little in
the way there's no better job than
slicing raisins. Set before him q
bowl of rinsed raisins and a clean
pair of blunt scissors and let him

for him, and you will find the sliced
raisins a pleasing addition to SAL

Germany and her Axis partners
are giving out word that by a
series OF bold strokes within the
next two or three weeks they
will consolidate their mastery OF
Europe, win over the Near East
and entrench themselves in the
South Atlantic 10 repel American
Intervention in the war.
Large-scale diplomatic negotia-
lions towards these ends are under
way with the pressure directed for
the moment chiefly against the
Vichy government OF France, Tur-
key and Soviet Russia.
From Russia, Germany seeks the
vast supplies OF oil and food nee
essary for successful conclusion
of this vast new phase of military
activity. Germany needs food not
only for herself but for most of
Europe which she now dominates.
Germany appears to be planning
a pincer movement on the Suez
Canal through Egypt, Turkey and
Syria. Negotiations for this are
now proceeding in Ankara, Ber-
liz and Vichy.
One Jaw Of the Nazi Pincer is
expected to close in overland across
the Libyan desert through Egypt
from the west. The other is ex-
pected to close in from Turkey and
through French-mandated Syria.
Germany, through Ambassador
Franz Won Papen, is bringing pres
sure on Turkey for permission to
move troops through that land
TO Syria. From Syria lie several
routes to Egypt, some by water
and some by land, some easy and
some difficult. Little trouble IS
expected in winning Vichys col
liberation for the use of Syria.
The Vichy cabinet has no choice,
IL has approved Vice-Premier Ad-
IniTal Jean Dsrlan's negotiations
with Germany for greater collabor-
alton including the passage of Ger.
man troops through Syria and will
probably continue along this
course under German dictation.
Another Axis step calls for &C.

Mediterranean fortress does not

flank or nullify its effectiveness
through the strengthening OF their

can. This involves collaboration
