 She said she called Miss Edith Miller, another nurse and they tried to send in an alarm by telephone but it would not work. Also, Miss Aluesi said, fire extinguisher failed to work as she attempted to put out the flames.

 Miss Miller remained in the hos pital corridor directing rescuers to the rooms above until she was forced to leave.
 Mayor Moylan, in a message to the people, expressed deep and heartfelt sympathy to the injured and to the relatives of those un- fortunates who did not survive the terrible tragedy that shocked and saddened us on Christmas Eve.

BEACH BREVITTES-It's up to
you whether you want to be cover
girl-or covered-up girl. And
you'll be wise to choose the suit
that plays up to your best points
whether it's sweet or sophisticated.
One that's terrific for tanning
prettily is one-piece affair of
checkered cotton cut with slim
straps and a slightly ruff1ed eve
ming dress decolletage. The ruffle-
about 2 inches wide and edged with
white rick rack-manages to achieve
a little girl" look which is aided
and abetted by the pert little skirt
and a ribbon sash that accents the
waistline. The top is cut with cum
ming to improve on nature-if you
know what we mean-and all in all,
it's suit that's kind to figure faults
You can have it in pink and white
blue and white or rosy-tan and
white, the latter wonderful foil
for tanning skin. For those who
have nothing to fear from CRADLE
type competition, there's two-piece
number made of rayon jersey that
leaves it all up to you. There's

front, lined pants that are shirred

the sides. 1t has the goddess look

Bay windows make very gracious
corners when they are ingeniously
handled. A pair of small chairs COM

this grouping. The mansard sloping
roof, often a problem to American
house jewellers, can be made into an
attractive bed-alcove. Use a printed
wallpaper in the alcove and a solid
color for the outside walls to make
a charming "homespun" bedroom.
When your postwar dreams come

answer for a modernistic alcove. To
carry out your theme-instead of an
ordinary coffee or occasional table
get a drum table with cutout parti-
tions for books, records, etc. 1t will
blend in with your whole scheme.
Conformists have their place in
the world, but it's the individualist
that leaves his imprint. Instead of
a conventional little table, try library
steps, for example, as an end table
with your coffee or sofa. Or a pair
of library steps with the high ends
together to form an unusual coffee
/ table. Rather than a single-Shelf,
pie-crust table, purchase a tler-top.
Other ideas for novel effects are
large square, instead of a round,
coffee table. A pair of console
brackets replacing the console table.
A combination mp-and-plant table
or kidney-shaped desk with book
shelves in the back.
Color is also important In the
furnishing of these tiny rooms.
Warm colors are stimulating, noisy,
active and cheering. Cool colors are
restful, quiet, soothing and tranquil.
Warm colors will add spice and zest

two color clans. Rainbow red, red
yellow and their associate colors,

mountain shadows are known as the
cool group. Do not be afraid to in

Too often are foyers and alcoves
the forgotten stepchildren of an
otherwise tastefully furnished apart
ment or home. Such need not be
the case, if enough attention is paid
to this matter beforehand. Usually
foyers and alcoves are just used for
short periods, but they can either
make or break that lasting impress
sion that is SO important. There's
no reason why your entrance foyer
and your alcove couldn't be made to
house your hobby collections along
with performing their other func-
tionS.
When there is breakfast alcove
off the kitchen itself, the color
scheme can be extended from it into
the kitchen itself. In the dinette
use a dropleaf extension table, in
stead of the usual dinette type.
Later this can be converted to living
room use when regulation dining
room is included in your plans.
Don't feel that you must limit the
dining room to dining. A reading
group, a game table which can dou-

gathering may be added to the din

foyer decor, place small chest with
different or matching chairs on each
side-if it is originality you desire
Make the corners count. II
crowded for space consider corner
cabinets and sectional pieces which
fit into corners. Often corners are
ungainly and even if the room is
not crammed, a set of corner shelves
will frequently break the baroness
and add considerable interest ano
usefulness as well. Use loveseat OF
i the sectional chair-sofa in two
units, with the third chair as ar
individual unit elsewhere in the
room. Later on the third chair car
be added on to make full-size sofa
You can gain an extra room from
your alcove. Almost every remod-
eled house emergeS with an alcove
or two that present decorating
problems. You can make it into a
music room, a dining alcove, or you
can attach an alcove to your living
room. BY doing this you add a
conversation corner adjoining your
living room. Or you can remodel
your alcove to make itself a library

IRONING HINTS.

(From Mrs. T. w. r., Washington.
To Mrs. E. H. of Washington, who
asked about ironing diapers: 1t is
completely unnecessary to iron dia-
pers. They should be hung out in
the sun and air to dry, then folded
and smoothed when brought in, so
that there are no irritating creases.
Ironing tends to make them stiff
when they should be soft and fluffy.
To the reader who asked about
the correct way to iron a chenille
bedspread: Chenille should never be
ironed, because that would f1atten
it and ruin the whole effect. Shake
it vigorously while still damp and
hang out to dry. This makes it
fluffy, the way it should be. I do
the same thing to bath towels and
baby blankets and they stay as soft
as when new.

the comedians finally find them
selves in demand because of the
manpoWer shortage and are
hired by socially ambitious Mrs.
Hawkley, played by Mary
Boland.
Their first assignment is to
serve a dinner to the guardian of
young king-in-eXile - and
thereby hangs a tale of one of
the funniest movies to hit the Es-
quire Theatre screen in many a
month. Stan and Ollie meet the
young ruler without peing aware
of his identity and mistake him
for homeless waif. The lad,
tired of being guarded and pre-
ferring the freedom of the aver
age American lad, doesn't disil-
fusion them. Eventually the trio
learns that the guardian, Prince
Saul, is plotting to do away with
the king and become the ruler
himself.
The film takes them all
through a hilarious series of
events which sees them set
things to right only after the
kind of rib-tickling misunder-
standing Stan and Ollie always
