DON'T BUY
 AN APOLOGY

Don't buy a hat which makes you feel that you ought to apolo- gize for it or explain it each time you wear it.
 And, unless you have a lavish budget, beware of buying any thing which doesn't suit your mode of life. A dressy tea hat may be pretty, but if you never go to afternoon parties, it won't be practical. And of what use will a rough tweed suit and. a couple of sweaters be if you spend not more than two or si1ree week ends in the country during an entire year?

WOMAN,S REALM
Add a Streamer To Bathing Suits And You'll Have The New 'Pareu"

A white suit has an apron shaped panel of blue and white print on its front, another is white satin, edged in white ricrac and with two frivolous pockets.
 Prettiest of the dressmaker suits are the solid color silk jerseys, with separate short or long skirts of lowered and print materials. Early in the designing year, ev- erybody thought the slithery fab ric had had its vogue, but when the first beach collections came out, resort customers began to fret for silk jersey gaain. This years solid shades are rich, and the pat terns are much interviewer Per- sion designs and smeary colors, but the prints still can stand im- provement.
 APPLAUSE FOR NEW
 SHOULDER STRAPS
 Idea that gets my nomination for the why-hasn' 't-somebody thought of-it-before prize is elaSticized shoulder straps. Curiously. though there were plenty of twoway stretch garments and those doll-size cotton maillost that could pull to unbe- ievable widths and lengths, all straps were of solid, ungivahle ma terial. These new ones add length to a String-bean's suit, stay put on the shoulder while giving plenty of slack for a fast crawl stroke, and act like an uplift brassiere.

IT'S WORSE OUT OF FITTING ROOM

If you have single doubt in your mind about a dress you are about to buy, don't buy it. If some thing about it doesn't please you in the fitting room, it will please you even less once you get the dress home.
 And don't buy it just because the saleswoman and the friend who is shopping with you say that it is flattering. Unless you ike 1t enorm- ously yourself, forget about it and look for something else.
 Don't buy shoes if you suspect that they will be uncomfortable until they have been worn few times. Properly fitted shoes are as comfortable the day you buy them as your old bedroom slippers.
 Once you have decided what to buy, have found it and brought it home, don't be wishy- -washy and change your mind about its at tractiveneSs. The moment you think you have made a mistake every woman in the room will know that you have. Cultivate self-con- fidence ill your own taste.

NEA Service Staff Writer

The clothes which you cannot wear with complete self confidence are, without douDs, all wrong for you. If they cannot be altered and fixed SO that you feel absolutely comfortable and at home in them, throw them out.
 Nothing is more certain to destroy every atom of your poise, charm and general attractiveness as per son than the feeling that the dress you have on is too tight across the hips, too short, too low-necked, or that it's color is downright un- becoming.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26.-Hun-
dreds of evacuees and wounded,
conveyed safely through waters, in
tested with Japanese submarines,
today related acts of heroism and
praised the morale in embattled
Hawaii
Planes circled overhead as the
passenger vessels, wearing a dark
blue war paint, slipped quietly
through the Golden Gate yesterday.
Lifebelts were worn during the
trip by all passengers-evenb by the
many children while they played
games-and the ships were blacked
out completely at night.
They zigzagged constantly be-
cause japanese submarines have
been preying on shipping off the
California coast.
Stirring scenes took place at en-
frances to piers. No public an
nouncement was made of the con-
voy's arrival, but it was seen moving
through the Golden Gate. There
was a rush toward the water front.
Threw Potatoes at Japs.
Soldiers and sailors carrying
rifles and pistols had blocked of an
area extending three blocks from the
docks.
Ambulances hurried to the water
front and removed the Navy and
Army wounded. The city sent four
ambulanceS to care for the civilian
injured.
A wounded sailor told of the hero
ism Of his skipper who ordered some
OF his idle men to throw potatoes at
the japanese raiders.
Our skipper was a little fellow,
the sailor said. But he certainly was
full of fight.
1--WE had only 3-inch gun where
we were, but he wouldn't let any,
body else fire it. He peppered away
at the Japs as they came over.
"All Of a sudden bomb hit nearby
and blew the skipper into the water
Our executive (oflceD gave the order
to abandon ship"
The sailors started down and just
then the shippers head bobbed up
from the water. They told him they
were abandoning ship.
The hell you are!" he shouted.
"Get back to your stationsl" Then
he ordered a messenger to get a
big sack of potatoes.
IT mean potatoes" the skipper
cried to the surprised messenger Il
got to keep the men occupied ar
time like this. Let 'em throw po-
tatoes at the Japs!"

Football players of Willamette Un-
iversity at Salem, Greg, and San

turn of doing guard duty after the
raids. Coach r. S. spec" Keene
said his Willamette squad worked
their way home by caring for wound

The three children of Capt. Melle

was as great-hearted as he had al
ways imagined.
I'm my book" he says, II told
nothing that I hadn't seen with
my own eyes. reported my impress
sions as honestly as could.
Looking back now. I saw that
here and there some chance re-
mark, some casual incident, like
straws in the wind that show which
way it is blowing, should have
aroused my suspicious. I could
only blame myself because I had
paid little attention to them"
This is a shocking confession,
one which ought to be remembered
by all readers today when they take
up books written by writer's who
have strong emotions about the
war. One may reply by saying that
there is no one who does not have
strong emotions about the war. The
more reason, then, to be cautious.
Many books have been published
since this war began, and by promi-
nent writers, at the direction OF
foreign governments. They bear,
however, no admission of this di-
rection; they are given to the public
as if they were the spontaneous
opinions and observations of free
minds. 1t is hard to think Of any
English author who enjoys higher
and broader prestige in this country
than Mr.. Vaughan. Yet he vir-
tually confeSses to having written
a wholly inaccurate war book for
American consumption. Further, he
tells in his present book what some
of those chance remarks" and
casual incidents" were which should
have warned him of the truth
about France, and they seem any,
thing but subtle. One would have
expected such revelations to carry
truth to the blind. But we have
Mr.. Maugham's word for it that
they did not even arouse his sus-
picion.
The main theme of Mr.. Maug-
hams volume is, however, as his
title indicates, personal He writes
OF the life of his household at Cap
Ferrat during the first months of
the war, of his journeyings through
wartime France, Of visit to Eng
land, of his flight from France after
the blitzkrieg when he made one of
a haplesS throng of refugees crowded
suffocatlngly into two old and very
dirty colliers with little food, less
water and no beds, of his reactions
to wartime England where every
thing is brave and fine, and his
flnal voyage to America, where he
is now. Parts of the narrative
have quality. Other parts read as
if Mr.. Vaughan were badly bored
with writing.

Tomorrow more than 10000 stu
dents will be thronging the corri-
dors OF Washington's IL public high
schools. For the next nine months
they will be coming to the Public
Library and its branches to OBJ
tain definite answers to problems in
social science. biology and history
more than 100000 questions we're
asked last year by high school stu
dents at the Public Library or for
books that will satisfy the require
ments of their studies in English
literature.
Because of the cooperative agree
ment between the English depart
ment Of the high schools, under the
direction of Miss Ruth Stauffer, and
the Public Library, high school stu
| dents of English are not restricted
to a specific list of books for outside
reading. They need only to ask the
help of any librarian in choosing a
book and, if the book meets with the
librarians approval, it will be ac-
cepted by their English teacher.
Many books of appeal to young peo-
pie and Of merit from a literary
standpoint have been written since
the compilation of the formal lists.
Outstanding among the works of
fiction of recent years is the trilogy
of c. S. Forester entitled Cap

story of an officer of the Queens

That is the theme of the novel.
In carrying it out Miss Parrish
reaches heights of emotional
writing. She is tender without
being pathetic; she is wise with
out being sermonish; she is hu-
morous without being sweet.
Her Peter and Andrew are two
real people, hungry at times,
fond of good beer, delighted at
tale-telling. 1t is hard to think
of a more perfect balance be-
tween human Characterization
and spiritual theme.
Two women so far have pro-
duced novels on our modern war
and tyranny in which the relig-
ious theme is introduced, and
both books are excellent works.
Clemence Danes 'The Romance

other. Both view the war in the

perience. Both reject the idea

climax on Calvary, and ends
when Peter, in his turn, goes to
Rome to suffer again his own
death on the cross.
These horrors, these scenes of
needless anguish, Peter tells
young Andrew, are past but are
still going on. Those who have
seen the folly of wickedness, men
of good will, must live in the
memory of the martyrs and know
that they themselves likewise
face martyrdom. The death of
the Jew on the island today and
the agony of the Christians in
the flames in Nero's Rome are
but manifestations of the same
thing. The great atonement was
made on Calvary, but the sacri-
flee is never complete. Andrew
himself is to be numbered among
