WARTIME wedding recep-
tons should not be elaborate, Of
course. Rationing, war work
still TO be done. and good taste
preclude any but a simple re-
ceptioh.
But that simple reception
must be lovely. When planning
the table for>the June bride, re-
member these three basic needs:
|. To create a pleasing picture;
2. To make serving smooth and
easy, 3. To fulfill the claims Of
sentiment and tradition.
FOR A PLEASING PICTURE
Duplicate the loneliness OF
the bride herself in her satin
gown and airy veil by laying
the table with lustrous white
Irish linen damask and decorat-
ing il with lacy arrangement
of white lilacs, freesia and snap
dragon. Move the table to one
side of the dining room SO that
the wall will create back
ground for its pictorial beauty.
Frame the flower arrangement
with white tapers set in silver
candelabra. placing the table
against the wall makes a small
dining room seem larger and a
large gathering less jam-packed.
It's also easier to arrange flow
ers effectively, when they are
TO be viewed from one side

Triple Alliance
Meeting in Asia

CHUNGkING, May Is - (A)
The Chinese Herald, which
often reflects the views of the
Chinese foreign office, advocat-
ed today a meeting somewhere
in Asia of President Truman,
Prime Minister Churchill and
Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek.
The newspaper said such a
meeting could deal with out
standing far eastern problems
and perhaps organize COM
bined Allied chiefs of staff body
for the war against japan.
The unconditional surrender
of Germany and the massing of
the full Allied strength against
Japan have engendered new
military, political and economic
problems in the Far East, the
newspaper said, adding that the
grand strategy for defeating
Japan should be discussed thor
oughly from standpoints of CO.
ordination of manpower and op-
erations.
The question whether the AL
lies should invade Japan or the
Chinese mainland first also
should be decided. the newspa-
per said.
On China's eastern seaboard,
Chinese troops now are fighting
in the streets of Foochow, after
entering the old treaty port op-
posite Formosa on Friday.
In the Human counteroffen-
sive. meanwhile. twin Chinese
columns were reported closing
in on Paoching, the base from
which the Japanese last month
launched an unsuccessful drive
toward the Chihkiang air base.
BY Sunday one Chinese column

ing down the main highway.

Far behind these columns, the
Chinese high command said, one
trapped enemy force had been
wiped out. Another had been
chopped into five pockets. ripe

In an order of the day yester-

American and Chinese air forces
for their help in smashing the

WASHINGTON. May 15-(P)
The full meaning OF the

pose any sentence, including
death. An intermediate military
court may impose Imprisonment
up to ten years or fines up to
$4,000. A summary court can
sentence up to one year or fine
up to $1,000.
The offenses for which death
"or such other penalty may be
imposed include:
Espionage; communication of
information which may be dan
gerous to the security or prop
erty of the Allied forces; acting
