but her taste is limited" That's al
Kay said; but the next day she
called Miss Hing up to her Office.
II thought we'd run an ad or
those Sidney Scott book ends next
week." she said innocently. Mr.
Green said he'd write the copy him

stock was in. and that you have
enough to take care Of a sale"
Miss Hing looked indignant. Il
didn't buy any. We can't sell that
type of thing" Her eyes were glar-
ing.
For once I'm sure you're mis-
taken" Kay said smoothly. There
will be an article about Miss Scott
in the next Home and Grounds, with
pictures of several of the book
ends. Miss Scott has sold hundreds
Of pairs since the day she saw you.
She's promised to let US have de-
livery few days before anyone
else so that we can be first with
our ad."
Miss Hing interrupted angrily,
THE first fools. That's the trouble
with you vice presidents. The store
used to be a nice place to work in
before we had you sticking your
noses into our business, buying our
goods, thinking you're SO darn
smart"
Kay was furious, but size held her
tongue. "We shall see who's right,
Miss Hing. In the meantime, will
you please place the order. A good
assortment in all colors. I'd like to
see the order before it goes out"
She didn't trust Laura. Miss
SCOTS friends will buy them II no
one else does. She has lots Of
them"
That was prohs bly, a silly dig.
Laura was one Of the most unpopu-
lar women in the store. But one dig
more or less couldn't aggravate the
situation any more. Laura Illing's
fury had already reached the sat
uration point.
Kay showed the book ends to
David, who thought they were stun
ming. Dick Green went to town on
the ad, and it was sensational. KAY
saw to 1t that the book ends had a
choice sale table, and when she
went down to the stationery de-
partment at GAS o'clock the morn
ing the ad ran, the assistant buyer
announced that they'd |
sold 20 pairs already. That was
good going.
Kay was out Of the store most of
the day, because she had to 90 TO |
fashion luncheon and the meeting
afterward lasted most Of the after
noon. At Sis o'clock she called
Laura Hing.

Kay made memorandum to run

Episcopal Diocesan
Convention 10 Open
Here Tomorrow

A special diocesan convention
called to consider complicated prob
lens of the Protestant Episcopal
Church here will convene tomorrow
at st. Stephen and the Incarnation
Church at Sixteenth and Newton
streets NV.
Principal issue before the conven-
tion will be the problem OF what to
do about selecting successor to
the late Right Rev. James E. Free
man. Bishop of Washington
Whether the convention will pro-
coed to elect a new bishop at this
convention or postpone such action
will be decided by the convention
itself.
There has been some difference
OF opinion on this point. some per-
sons believing new bishop should
be chosen now, others contending 1t
would be better to wait until after
the general convention of the Epis-
copal Church in October.
The general convention will have
before it a proposal to make Wash
IIlk uOIl SdG1CuIdl d IldGlOildl Cdtllc-
oral and to establish it as the resi-
dence and "see" of the presiding
bishop.
The business session of the con-
vention will be preceded bv holy
communion at am. at the church,
of which the Rev. Flint Kellogg Is
rector.
The convention will be called to
order at 10 am. by the Rev. DR.. F. j.
Bohanon, head of the Standing
Committee of the diocese, which has
been the ecclesiastical authority of
the church since the death of
Bishop Freeman. The convention
then will choose it's president and
proceed to the special business for
which it was called.
There was no definite indica ton
today as to the length Of the con-
vention. This will depend on the
sgenda adopted and what the two
constituent bodies decide to do
about electing a bishop. The con-
vention will consist of two orders" "
the clergy and the laity, which will
vote separately on all matters.

Italy Reported Taking
Men From Balkans
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
ISTANBUL. july 26 Delayed).-
Reports from the Balkans today in
dicated that Italian troops are be-
ing partially evacuated from Alba MIA
and Greece.
General evacuation of italian
units from Albania and Greece was
believed here to have been one of
the main subjects of last weeks con-
ference between Benito Mussolini
and Adolf Hitler. with the latter re-
fusing to consent to a wholesale
withdrawal.
Reports from the Balkans said
shat the leading Bulgarian generals
had conferred with the Italian COM
mander in Albania within the past
five days, arousing speculation that
Bulgarian troops would replace 1tal-
ian forces evacuated from Albania
Published reports that Hungarian
troops would move into Albania
were doubted here.
Hungary apparently is not anxious
to increase her commitments to the
Axis and is steadily withdrawing her
troops from the Russian front. Re
cent statements by Hungarian
Premier Nicholas Kallay indicate
that he intends to eliminate Hun
gary as an active partner in the war
if he is able to DO so over threats
Of Axis occupation of his country if
he refuses further cooperation.
German troops are massing at sew
eral points along the Hungarian
frontier. according to reports reach
ing here.
The Germans are known to have
been exerting considerable pressure
upon Hungary in an attempt to
swerve the government from its ap-
parent determination to withdraw
from active participation in the war.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur's headquar-
tiers. The announcement did not
give the extent Of the advance, but
a spokesman said it was consider

The drive through strong enemy
defenses east of Munda carried the
Americans past the coastal village
of Tetere to within 2.100 yards

Americans moved swiftly on Mum

the Japanese were compressed with

however, resistance stiffened and for

today another forward thrust.

again supported the troops, plaster
ing IS tons of bombs against en-
emy positions. The bombers, which
were escorted by a strong cover of
fighters, reported many hits on Jap
anese gun emplacements despite in
tense antiaircraft fire.
