Anfi-Sub Battle Called
Most Encouraging
Since Start Of War
More Allied Ships Going
Over and More U-Bouts
Are Being Destroyed

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 29.-Picturing the
battle of the Atlantic as the most
encouraging" since the start of the
war, Informed quarters said yester-
day that new methods of fighting
submarines are enabling the Allies
to smash the undersea offensive
which Germany launched in a des-
perate effort to stave off invasion.
While more and more Allied ships
are going through safely, the num-
ber of submarines being destroyed is
mounting rapidly, it was pointed
out by these sources.
With the sinkings increasing and
the output of submarines being
crippled by continuous aerial pound
ing of German bases, these quarters
disclosed that the German U-boat
menace not only is being held-but
smashed.
At Portsmouth, meanwhile, For
eign Secretary Anthony Eden said
in a speech that the battle against
U-boats continues to be encourag-
ing"
Ship Construction Rising.
"Our own new construction of
merchant ships still is mounting
he SAID. Our merchant shipping
losses still are decreasing and sink
ings of U-boats still are increasing
the battle of Uboats still
RACES. 1t is not yet decided, but at
least we feel better about it than
we have"
With the third month of the u
boat campaign of Grand Admiral.
Karl Doenitz nearing its end, the
shipping losses of the Allies appear
headed for a record low At tina
same time, unofficial quarters be-
lieve that the number of enemy sub
marines sunk in May has reached
a new high for single month.
Although the number of Subma-
rine sinkings is kept secret, London
newspapers say more than II were
believed destroyed in the first three
weeks of this month. The net in
crease of the Nazi U-boat fleet was
estimated officially earlier in the
year at more than TO- month.
Five points stand out in the recent
successful anti-Submarine opera
tions:
/. An increased number of escort
ships and planes.
2. Reorganized defense, including
defenses stationed where none had
existed before.
8. A newly developed long-range
aerial patrol.
4. Secret anti-submarine devices.
5. Capture or killing of many OF
the best U-boat commanders.
Nazi Claims Lower.
Even the German communique
claims of Allied sinkings, usually
exaggerated, total only $4,000 tons
so far this month-the lowest since
1910. In May, 1912, the German
high command estimated that 924,-
900 tons of Allied shipping were sent
to the bottom.
The German claim of the deStruc-
ton of 851 900 tons of shipping for
last March dropped to 100000 tons
for April.
Another indication of the turn IN
the tide of battle was contained In
news received here that American
marine underwriters had removed
restrictions on war risk insurance
on cargoes shipped through the
Mediterranean.
Sources here have made no sug-
gestion that the new successes
against submarines were achieved
because of a reduction in the num-
ber of U-boats operating in the
shipping lanes. There has been no
hint that Germany is withdrawing
her U-boats from the high seas to
prepare for anti-invasion chores in
coastal waters.

Smart Washington Wears

more like a little girl than the
wife of a captain in the Army is
Mrs. John Hayes For a recent
informal evening at home, Evie
perked up shirtwaist and skirt
with bright red shoes and a
huge matching felt bow in her
dark hair.
Most becoming to her blond
hair is Lillian WINES 9high-
draped turban with multi-color
facing. A large black hat
was the choice of Mrs. Bradford
Wooley at cocktails the other
afternoon. With it she wore
a beautifully draped dress of
black and white checked taffeta
with long, tight sleeves and in
teresting back fullness. The
low neckline of the dress was
enhanced by a silver chain and
cameo, very much in keeping

with the Gay Nineties" feeling
of the costume.
Those clever touches which
seem so off-hand, but which are
so important to chic grooming,
have been mastered by Mala
Rubinstein. In town for the day,
she wore trim dark suit and
used a fabulously beautiful jew
eled clip to hold a demure bou-
quet of spring flowers on her
shoulder.
Frances Gardner does a Won
derful color combination with her
"hot pink" suit and lime green
blouse, very springlike and be-
coming. Irene Mcknight,
down from New York, is proudly
showing new mink coat with
flattering little rolled collar.

Consciously or not, the smart
costumes chosen by well-dressed
Washington ladies frequently re-
fleet quite a patriotic motif.
Gone, fortunately, are the huge
shields and eagles which were

triotic influence is in the subtle
but definite combination of red,
white and blue, with carefully
co-ordinated ensembles using our

Potted Plants Must Be Placed
Properly to Enhance Beauty
Bv Marqaref N0yeU.

Potted plants, one of the most
delightful of Easter gifts, may
be an important part of your in
terror decorating scheme. But it
Is necessary that you fit them in
so that they appear to belong"
A prim little pot of tulips has
all the springtime charm of
bright color and soft green foil
age. These flowers are gay and
lighthearted in appearance,
which is a good thing at this
time of year, but if they are
placed starkly on a table with no
attempt to achieve the natural
effect of the garden, they look
lonely and out of place.
If you have a very lovely jar
diniere which conceals the flow-
er pot, this will help consider
ably. The next move is to ar
range the foliage and blooms so
they do not look quite so stiff and
formal.
Remember that most Of these
have just come from the green
house where growing conditions
tend to make full foliage with
the tenderness of lettuce. To
train the leaves from their up
Evening star., 1943-04-18

right positions takes time and
gentle handling. Pull them out,
bending them gently into the
position you wish them to hold,
slip moose of soft wool or long
rubber band over the leaf and
peg down the end of the band
with a tootpick. This will bend
the foliage into more graceful
position and after ramaining 12
hours the cord may be released
and the leaves will hold their
place.
Many potted plants are i'm
proved in appearance by COM
bining them with extra foliage.
Tulip leaves are a nice contrast
to ferns. Daffodils or hyacinths
may have laurel branches stuck
into the soil in the pots. This
fills out the empty spots and
makes the whole arrangement
look as though it is growing.
If there is not a large con-
talner available to conceal the
flower pot, set it on a tray or
other fiat dish and work out some
arrangement in front OF the pot
to conceal it. Two or three large
stones, some moss, few little
violet plants, or even clumps of
grass will build up natural ap-
pearing arrangement which will
make a lovely decoration out OF
one potted plant.
On the other hand, there may
be certain stylized charm if YOU
use potted plants in numbers.
Three potted geraniums on a win
dow sill are interesting because
OF their very primness. Fresh ruff
fled curtains and a simple early
American interior demands just
this touch. The same three ger
anlums in huge polished brass
bowl may have an elegance that is
quite different.
Small pots of red tulips and
white primroses may be set across
the whole top of a mantel. With
glass bricks placed in front of
them they have a conventional
effect that goes well in the most
formal drawing room.
Large plants such as cinerarias,
azaleas, lilies and hydrangeas are
more graceful placed on a low
table or on the floor. Their great
est beauty is in looking down on
the flowers in a mass. They are
lovely placed where the light Of
window picks up all their color in
full brillance.
If your plan is to have natural
appearing flowers in the house, do
all that is necessary to make them
look just as though you had
brought them in from the gar
den. If you prefer stylized ar
rangements, then plan these to
look as prim and architectural in
feeling as possible.

Etiquette in
Wartime
By Emily Post

The following question is
asked almost every day by the
friends of the wives of soldiers
and sailors: What would be
nice to send a friend on her we'd
ding anniversary which she will
be celebrating without her hus-
band? He's in the Army and
won't be home. Shall he be in
cluded anyway?"
One solution to this would be
to send her something PERSONAL
something to be used now,
IT you want very much to
include the husband you could
send a copy of the newest
successful book whose subject is
likely to interest them both. The
wife can read it first and then if
she enjoys it and thinks he will
too, she can send it to him.
In all war situations where ad.
justments from convention have
to be made. plain common sense
Is the best rule to follow. For
example, a letter explains: MY
father is in the Army, overseas,
and I live with my stepmother.
I'm going to be married soon
and, Of course, dad will not be
home. Shall my stepmother send
out the announcements and the
invitations in his, as well as her,
name, or in her name alone?
She and I suppose this last is
right, but we wish we could in
some way include him"
In answer to this, the simplest
wording is the following:
Major (Overseas) and Mrs.
John Jones
request the honor of your presence
at the marriage of his daughter, etc.
On the announcements the paren-
therical explanation is not necessary,
Perhaps better looking, as well as
more definite-but requiring more
engraving-would be to replace
"(overseas)" with an asterisk and
then in little letters at the foot OF
the page add Maj. Jones absent on
foreign service"

It was as players in the pageant
OF history. rather than as chill
dren's toys, that dolls In by
gone centuries filled an important
role. They were the means by
which La Mode made known her
changing whims. They forecast
styles In coifure and complexion
as much as in clothes. Richly
dressed and with beautiful head
dresses" dolls exhibited the latest
French fashions at foreign courts.
Yet this fashion traffic was not
altogether one way. London sent
dolls to foreign countries, too.
For instance, in 1871 the IA
nous Gentleman's Magazine an.
nounced that several dolls with
different dresses made in st.
James's Street have been sent to
the Czarina to show the manner
of dressing at present in fashion
among English ladies'"
Il am having a dolls head
dressed to send to you" wrote the
renowned Nine. de Sevigne to
her daughter, Nine. de Grignan.
These fashion dolls represented
both men and women. At in
tervals of perhaps four to five
months apart they reached the
colonies, where they were await
ed with the keenest anticipa ton.
According to the New England
Journal for July, 1888, there was
to be seen "at Mrs. Hannah
Teatt's, mantuamaker, at the
head of Summer street, Boston,
baby dressed after the newest
fashions of mantuas and night
gowns" . the latter are eve
ming dresses to u.s.. Ladies de-
string to see the model might
come to Mrs. Teatt's and have a
view at price of 2 shillings, but
for the much higher fee of 7
shillings they could gloat over the
beauty in their own homes.
Enterprising New York man.
tua makers like Mary Wallace
and Clementina Ferguson an
nounced in 1857 that they had
fixed correspondence so as to
have from London the earliest
fashions in miniature ''-mean-
ing dolls dressed in latest styles.
