marked the dinner.

"The Center Sex" frequently re-
ports the activities of Mrs. De
Cooley, impersonated that character
in the presentation of clear, clar-

swered questions of the love lorn. "
A song, Wave That Flag, Amer
lea" also received its initial per-
Torrance, with Bill Coyle singing
the lyrics.
Mrs. Tufty received a special thrill
when Mrs. Roosevelt presented her
with an autographed picture of the
President with the explanation that
'the gentleman who asked me to
give you this hopes he will do as
well by you as you have done by
him" Mrs. Tufty has several times
been cast in the role of the Presi-

NEW YORK, Feb. l9-The stock
market took another backward step
today while some commodities moved
higher on the threatening Far
Eastern crisis.
With buyers scarce, small offerings
depressed prices throughout the
list Many prominent shares sold
at the lowest quotations since the
collapse of France last June.
Here and there losses were re-
duced somewhat before the finish,
but the market noticeably lacked
recovery punch. Transactions ap-
proXimated 450 900 shares as activity
increased a little over that of the
previous session.
Concern over the flare-up in the
Far East marked by the Australian
reinforcement of Singapore, was eH-
dent in a runup in prices Of leading
materials imported from the Orient
rubber, tin and silk.

Cotton futures in late trading we're

Scarcity of cargo space was cited
in commodity circles as partly ac-
countable for the boost in imported
staples, along with fears fighting in
the Orient might halt material
