finely sewn luncheon set cut from
a hand-woven linen sheet. Eleven
years ago it was fax growing in
sunny field in the italian town
Of Cartel Frentano, miles inland
from the Adriatic Sea.
THE American soldiers got there
Thursday" remarked Pasquale di
Camille on whose 30-acre farm the
fax was grown.
I'VE plant fax every fall" he
continued in imperfect English.
When June come, we pull out fax,
let it dry. After dry, we get seed
of, make big bundle and put in
creek"
Processed through soaking. dry
ing and bleaching. the flax was
spun into thread and finally woven
into large linen sheet by his
wife, Giovina. The di CamilloS and
their three sons used the sheet for
many years. In 1898, the di Camille
family brought it across the Atlantic
on their second trip to the United
States.
Mr.. di Camille donated it to the
bazaar to be cut up into smaller
linen pieces.
Mr.. di Camille, a student at the
Americanization School, has applied
for his final citizenship papers and
will take the examination on De-
cember Is. OF his three sons who
were born in this country when he
lived here from 1902 to 1919 two are
serving in the United States Army
and one in the Navy.
An Armenian woman, Mrs. Carog-
lima Zarouhi. another student, who
came to America in 1890, sewed the
fine seams and worked the dainty
edge which transformed part Of the
Di Camille sheet into the luncheon
set.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert g. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON.-There was one very hush-hush conference staged for the benefit of Winston Church ill in Washington which was no military secret. It was a parade of beautiful models dressed in the latest New York fashions
 It came about when the Prime Minister asked Mrs. Harry Hop kins about the latest styles worn by American women. He said he would like to see some of them. So Mrs. Hopkins got Mrs. Averell Har- riman and together they organized a fashion show.
 Sending to New York for the latest gowns, they staged private, ra-exclusive fashion show for the Prime Minister of Britain, with the help of several important models.
 Churchill got quite a kick out of it. Friends say that his photo graphic mind will remember most of the details, and the first thing he will do when he gets back to London will be to tell Mrs. Church. ill all about it.
 She's sure to ask me-" he re- marked, just what the women are wearing in America"

EAGER JOHN L. LEWIS

Only insiders know it, but John L. Lewis wanted re-admission to the AFL so badly that he enclosed with his application a check for S60,000 advance dues.
 He hoped to take his old friends by storm and win immediate ad- n,ission. The AFL Executive Coun- cil was sitting at the time he sent the check, and would not meet again until August Lewis hoped they would act pronto, so he could lay plans for throwing his weight around at the next AFL convention in October.
 But quick admission of the Mine Workers was blocked partly by two Independents inside the AFL, part ly by the White House, where tenn peratures rose rapidly for fear Lewis, bitterly anti-New Deal, would swing the AFL away from coop eration with the President
