Wearing Mourning
Dear Mrs. Post: How can show
proper mourning respect in my
clothes for my father when I am
employed in a business office?
Mother is so afraid that people
will think we don't care, which
couldn't be further from the truth.
Answer: Your mother evidently
has failed to realize that in busi-
ness office, unmistakable mourn
ing is conspicuously out of place.
On the other hand, a plain black
dress, such as many women ha-
bitually wear, or a gray mixture
suit-without jewelry-is entirely
proper.
Announcement
Dear Mrs. Post: Please tell me
what to advise a friend. He is
giving his daughter a party at
which her engagement will be an
nounced. Just few of her special
friends know the purpose of the
party; to the others it should be
a surprise. His wife left him six
or seven months ago. They are
not divorced or even legally sep
arated but it is general knowledge
that she is not living with him.
The daughter does live with him.
Should these invitations be in his
name alone or include his wife's
name?
Answer: Since his wife will not
be present, the invitations should
be sent in his name alone.
HoD should the table be set
for a formal dinner? Should
place cards be used for less than
10 persons? Mrs. Post is sorry

This, you doubt know, the incident in which
ADJ invited the assistant u S. high commissioner in Ger
many Benjamin j. Buttenwieser to speak at banquet
and then abruptly rescnded the invitation. The action
taken after ADJ got advance glimpse of his speech
and found to be mealy apologize for the fail
of our characterization program in Germany.
Although ADJ couldn't have intended it So the i'm
preston thus given that of intent to And
sorship isn't becoming to organization dedicated
expressly to the of freedom Butenwieser went
ahead and delivered his speech elsewhere But the
American Jewish Congress has sad the question of the
merits and validity of (hs) observations Con Germany
has been all but forgotten in the commoton raised" by
ADDS censorship.
ADJ could not but have known what Buttenweser
would have say when it first invited him to speak
Leniency with resurgent Nazism after ALL to be
established state department policy and Buenwieser is
but instrument of that policy What ADJ might better
have give the assistant commissioner its plat
form and throw the book at him and the state de-
partment for their deplorable failure in Germany.

the worlds greatest cellist, is one
of those who has spoken out in
protest, for he has for five years
kept his vow never to play in pub
lie again until Spain is freed.
This month he was at last per-
suaded to take part in a Bach fes-
tival-on condition that the con-
certs take place in Prades, France,
the place of his exile.
Thither, to the Eastern Pyre-
nees, went some of the world
foremost musicians, paying tri-
butte, as we do, to a man who has
lived by his principles, a man
whose passion for justice and mo-
rality has transcribed all else.
In his strength, and in our cour-
age, lies the hope for an end to
the nightmare of Nazism, a hope
for real victory over violence
and hate.

The matter of a year book, to-

in favor of such a publication in

that those contributors who did

Apropos of such policy, the
writer moved that contributors be
canvassed by mail as to their wish
with reference to having their

Wo+kins Lends a Hand

Editor of The News:
When a man runs for the res
ponsible office of governor, it is
quite natural that you would want
to know as much as possible about
his background before you cast
your vote. Thinking along these
lines myself, consider it not only
a privilege but also my duty to
tell you about my personal eX-
perience with Ralph Watkins at a
time. when he did not even think
about the governorship.
In 1916, when | was working as
assistant manager of the famed
Cathay Hotel in Shanghai, l met
Ralph Watkins. He was on a Far
East tour with Senator McFar-
land and spent an evening with
him. 1t was not very long before
l had told him how l happened to
be in China.
After my mother died in Berlin
in 1888, my father and | fled the
Nazi persecution and terror to the
only door open at that time,
Shanghai. My father died during
the war in the Jap-controlled
Ghetto.

tain a job with the Cathay Hotel

successful at it. l was happy out

1t costs an average of $3.50 to

These amounts do not include any
