 Japan, France Join Up
 It was announced at noon that the Japanese and Vichy govern ments had agreed to the Joint de- fense" of French 1ndo-C China, with French sovereignty over Indo-C China guaranteed.
 This announcement, and the United States and British empire freezing orders flashed back and forth across the Pacific at the same time.
 Both the Japanese occupation of southern Indo- China (Japan al- ready has bases in the north) and the retaliatory freezing orders were expected.
 Japanese sources said the fin- ance ministry had recently com- pleted all preparations for retail iatory action.
 It was made known that at the governments request Emperor Hiro- hito had summoned an extraordin- ary meeting of his privy council for Monday, to deliberate on a matter of high importance.
 Though foreign correspondents were sharply restricted in their dispatches by the drastic State &c., crets act, 1t was possible to saysthat according to well informed quar- ters the freezing orders alone amount to an almost complete ern- bargo on Japanese trade with the United States and Britain, and that suspension of shipping services be- tween Japan and the United States and Britain may result soon.

cruel and with a deadly quiet.
1t was then I knew.
The burning cigarette was there,
unmoved, barring me from the stage
door. l felt sick with the weak
nauseous feeling that pervadeS you
when you're coming out of ether. I
couldn't run or fight or scream.
Then the light leaped toward me,
the length of a step, and my head
cleared and I snapped out of it.
Putting my cigarette behind me
I crushed it between my thumb and
forefinger. I crept forward toward
the footlights, feeling for them
with my toes, moving toward
them by slow inches. Thank God
for the rain and the snow that had
soaked my shoes and had made me
take them of. The lights couldn't
have been more than three feet
from the davenport where had sat,
but it was taking eternities for me
to reach them.
Then the edge of their groove was
beneath my toe and I stepped across
the refiectors and lowered myself
into the orchestra pit. Unless I had
moved far to one side, the center
aisle should be almost in front Of
me. I reached out and swept my
hand across the blacknesS and it
touched one seat, another, and then
no more.

gave the poor kid break all right.
A chance to be murdered, to live in

The bitterness and self-reproach
in his voice were beating at me.

If Eve was to be the victim, then

Then I suspected.
He didn't speak; there was no
sound from behind the glow of his
cigarette. Suddenly the theater was
not any longer warm and cozy. It

cold dark danger. I wanted to get

I ran from one door to another

turned and with my back up close
against the doors, 1 faced the stage.
The light was coming down into the
orchestra pit; now it was starting up
the aisle.
Hugging the wall and side-step-
ping, I moved along the back of the
theater, my eyes holding onto that
small circle of light with an inten-
sity that made them burn and wa
ter. I moved toward the SIDE aisle.

The voice was calm, laughing.

reached out for the light. My hand
met nothing but black emptiness.

"As soon as I find my damn
lighter here it isl" I saw the
fare of his lighter like miniature
torch high above me. I'm coming
down"
I'll be glad to see you"
I wondered where he had popped
from and Immediately remembered
that door opened from his Offices
onto the balcony. The flame diSap-
peared as he started down the steps
and was there again as he reached
the orchestra. He CROPPED his way
down the center aisle, shielding the
f1ickering lighter with his hands.
He climbed up on the stage.

then eased myself under the seats
into the last row and lay there, my
knees almost under my chin. my
arms squeezed in around me, holding
my breath to make myself smaller.

aisle. He would pass an arms

Lace Dinner Cloth
For Spring Bride

THE RICH beauty of the
made-in-America lace dinner
cloths, which can be bought for
as little or as much as you want
to pay, makes them an ideal
shower or wedding present and
one that you'll be proud to have
displayed along with the finest
gifts.
After the wedding, the bride
will discover that your gift is
not only beautiful but very,
very practical. Since a lace
cloth doesn't wrinkle or get
mussy looking. it can be used
time after time without laun-
dering or even pressing.
Moisture from glasses doesn't
leave crinkly marks and, if
something is spilled on it,
there's no need to send the
whole cloth to the laundry. The
spots can be washed out easily
without leaving a trace of
watering.

She has narrowed the slack

Suits are her loves because
they can be worn most any,

the blue green ocean.
These are the same colors of

another living room which has
two well spaced windows joined
into a single unit with an overall
cornice of pressed brass. Each
window is curtained from COR
nice to floor with full-hanging
glass curtains of lace net in a
lily-of-the-valley pattern.
Gray and Green
Self-striped green draperies,
lined with gray taffeta, are
pleated into jabots at each side
of the windows and festooned in
deep swags over both windows
and across the intervening wall
space.
The dining room has three
solid rose walls. The fourth wall,
to the left of the window, Is
papered with a mural of New
Orleans Harbor in the early
Nineteenth Century. The win
dow is widened with floral chintz
which is hung over the wall in
stead of over the glass so as not
to reduce the light and air. The
top of the window is draped
with chintz swag caught at the
corners with crossed gilt Re-
gency arrows.
Glass curtains of lace net In
a fine allover pattern hang to
the floor, yelling Venetian
blinds and the radiator grill be-
meath the window. They are
mounted on a pulley rod so that
they can be drawn back to fall
as soft lingerie border to the
draperies.
Powered Bedroom
A flower garden bedroom has
a camellia patterned red striped
chintz on the walls and at the
window which makes a decora-
tive background for the dressing
