THE BSTRUSIVELY
smart little frock, devoid of
trimming, and relying on cut
and handling, is a good prop in
the busy girls wardrobe. Here
is frock of this type, fashioned
of dark green, light weight
wooden. 1t buttons from collar
less neckline to below the waist
like plastron. A knife pleated
section at the front of the skirt
lends interest to an otherwise
plain silhouette. The self buttons
are edged with gilt metal.

wounded at approximately 5000.
The enemy aircraft approached
the city from a northeasterly di-
rection at height of 5000 or
5000 feet. Civilians, not warned by
air-raid alarms, we're conducting
business as usual when the bombs
burst. This accounted for the large
number of dead and wounded.
The streets were filled with those
who were trapped and burned alive.
The water and electric systems were
decommissioned, making operations
by doctors impossible and crippling

Japanese reported, they scored di-
