Thanksgiving table and the Christ

Long party dresses for the forth
coming holidays are shade more
gala than they were last winter,
and you'll see the bit-more-formaI
look in bright sheathes of lame,
damask, satin, velvet; in brown
and black lace-with necklines a

Typical Of the uncovered lady
look is the torso-molding dress of

short cap sleeves, and for decora-

Any short dress that's posy-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-R
If Aunt Emmy sends along
the usual tie this Christmas,
resplendent with dancing does
or some such, you may want
to wear the price tag where
the stick pin goes.
1t may have set Aunt Emmy
back a hundred skins.
OPA said today it had
''heard'' that 500 ties were
being offered for sale in ele-
CANT West coast establish
ments. These gay draperies,
the OPA said, are hand-paint-
ed with slinky females in var
ious stages of undress. Pre-
sumably there are other mo
tits. Aunt Emmy couldn't send
that kind.
OPA hasn't put a dollars and
cents ceiling on such articles
for the reasons that ~ nothing
comparable was on the market
when price ceilings went into
effect, and (2) nobody has been
able to decide whether these
hand-painted jobs are properly
, classified as ties or works Of
art.
While OPA has only heard
of (not seem these 800 era
watts, it does have on hand a
handsome coconu; silk job
which came in with the re-
quest that the agency allow
SIS price tag.
Ties come under the gener-
al maximum price regula-
tons which sought to fix prices
at the level prevailing in March
1912. However, as far as spe-
cific ceilings are concerned,
an OPA man said such things
as underwear, pants and shirts
are more important and OPA
has devoted most of its at
tention to pricing these.
After all, he pointed out, if

Wife Chooses
To Live With
Her In-Laws
BY RUTH MILLETT

The young war wife who took
herself and her baby to her nus
3and's parents to live instead OF
going home to her own people
gave this explanation for her
.hoice. Her reasons may explain
Why so many young wives are llv-
ny with in-laWs for the duration.
eTo begin with, I knew my fam
ly would be too sympathetic.
they'd feel so sorry for me, I'd
soon start feeling sorry for my
SELF she says.
"Also, I knew how easy it would
,e to slip back into the role OF
protected daughter though
I'm now wife and mother and
ought to be making my own de-
.isions and shouldering my own
responsibilities.
IT have a very close bond with
ny in-laws. They look for the
same handwriting on envelopes
hat I look for. And good news
rom my husband means as much
% them as it does to me. There's
another reason, too. I have too
much pride to give way to tears
and moping around my husbands
people when I 60 for weeks with
,ut a letter. If I were living with
ny parents, I'm afraid I'd give
way to my fear and loneliness,
moving they would baby me
through the bad times.
PLEASES HUSBAND
"Then there is the comforting
knowledge that my being with his
people means a lot to Dick. Sew
sral times he has written such
;1ings as 1T means so much to
ne to have my family all together
while I am away And I'm glad
lad and mother can get acquaint-
ed with the kid'.''
Some or all of these reasons
nave probably influenced many of
he girls who have chosen to live
with their husbands people for the
duration.

WITH STILWELL'S FORCES IN
THE MOGAUNG VALLEY An
order comes from headquarters for
you to pick up stakes, head for a
new assignment and in cleaning
house among the months accumula-
ton of jungle-molded papers you
come across one as yet untitled re-
quest. =
1t is for al brief story to be used
in connection with the new war
bond drive.
At first like any other CORE
spondent, you wonder why anybody
need be urged to buy bonds wonder
whether, perhaps, we as profession
have not painted wars picture in
enough of its horrible clarity. You
wonder that and then you wonder
whether the man who buys bond
realizes what share that gives him
in the war effort.
When he puts down money for a
bond, he doesn't know where it goes
except into the war effort. Thus
it gives him a share in the war as a
whole.
His bond may pay for gasoline
that powers a tiny liaison plane
which rescues badly wounded Mer-
rill marauder from the Burma
Jungle Just in time to save his life.
It may be in a bomb released from
P-40's wing rack which smashes a
Japanese battery and thus weakens
the retreating enemy's artillery
which has been pounding Chinese
| jnfantrymsn in the Hukawng- Mo-
gaung Valley for almost six months
without break.
That bond may go into a truck
which an American Negro boy
handles over a road hub-deep in
mud or possibly the load OF sorely
needed medical supplies which that
truck is carrying.
1t may be represented by the uni
form of a gentle, efficient nurse at
forward field hospital or by a
carbine which Uncle Joe" Stilwell
sings over his shoulder when this
soldiers general takes off on one OF
his frequent inspection tours OF the
