"tho South, New Dance Steps Don't Last Long Public Fancy Is Not Easily Caught -- Latin Dances Gaining In Favor New dance steps which aye per- formed on the floors of New York's café and night clubs seldom ach- feve a .pontaneous pop larity. Some imaginative dancing master usually sponsors them. If he can make the dance popular, make it #0 appealing that it catches the fancy of the public, he can profit' right handsomely, But even with the aid of the dancing masters, many of the new dances fall to Now In Oblivion The Lambeth Walk, which had its origin in England, enjoyed a brief popularity, being one uf the so-called silly dances, which soc- fety playboys and girls seem to like. But the Lambeth Walk to- day has pasesd into oblivion, . "The Big Apple," originating In became popular for a short time, after it bad.been push- ed by the dancing masters, About the only dance from the Big Apple that still is seen on the floor is the Shag, which is performed by the jitterbugs. On the other hand, the dances, Including the rhumba, go and conga, show diminishing in popularity. In fact during . the las fife years their popularity has grown so steadily that they are no longer confined to the Latin night clubs but now are danced In cafes and hotels throughout the c¢- 'ry. - "i Queen Pays Surprise Visit Latin tan- "Paying a surprise visit to the headquarters of the British Red Cross Society, Queen Elizabeth went equipped for any eventual- ity.

Velveteen boleros with no signs of - plaid skirts and white shirtwaists are good. The return of the "monkey jacket" appears in these. ---- Back fullness is the newest style trend. In juvenile fashions it must » be featured in a controlled, way that suggests rather than empha- ..- sizes this theme. Best examples are princess frocks with skirt full ness at back; discreet arrange. ment of pleats at back; gathered 'or smocked fillness from the waistline at back; perky peplums with back "kick" suggesting this Idea. ---- Lingerie collars and cuffs are increasingly good. Eyelet embroid. ered types bid for attention, Lace edging continues from spring suc- cess. Rows of Valenciennes lace on velveteen frocks are a new | theme, as well as elaborate Vefiice lace collars "accenting velveteen rocks. = Lit --_ ea-- \ * One Cane Town textile factory manager has discovered the secret of mixing efficiency with enter- tainment, With music during working hours, he finds his fag~ tory girls 10se an Inclination to chatter. ROYAL GUARDS AGAINST BAKING CULL " . 'o SERIAL STORY "INTERNE TROUBLE By Elihose Cowan Stone Rovere vor -- COPYRIGHT, 1938, NEA SERVICE, INC. ------------ o "FINAL CHAPTER CHAPTER XII Katherine Miller said tremu- lously--as if she had been just any romantic girl in love instead of the most efficient and hard- driving supervisor of nurses at Saint Vincent's, "What makes you say that? 1 mean that he--how do you know?" " "Oh, that?" said Tran briskly. "That's one set of symptoms you don't have to be a registered nurse to recognize. You'd see it your: self if you weren't so scared of acting and fecling like a human being. . . . Oh, do go along before you have time to dry off! If you could only keep yourself looking that way--you're so sweet, all bright-eyed and _drippy like that.n Without another word Miss Miller amazingly turned and went, almost running, down the corri- dor. Tran sat down stiffly on' edge of a chair. 5 If the worst happened--if Ste- phen Sargent were really never to operate again, then she had no- thing left. 'For the first time she realized how inseparably her en- thusiasm for her work had been bound up 'in the thought of work- ing. with him . . . . For if her' youthful visions--Tran was only 20--had ever held a more person-. al significance, it .had long ago been sublimated in the rest. Finally she got up heavily and wandered out into 'the corridor: She hardly knew how or why, she made her way to the instrument room--except that suddenly she wanted very much to ery, and its unfrequented sterility offered .an admirable: privacy for that pur- pose . . . Or perhaps it was the nostglgic memory of that other _day--was it less than two years "ago la4when she had stood there, a-mere child it seemed to Tran now, yearning over the shiny in- struments in their glass cases. Curled up in a limp little gray heap on a wide window ledge, she was going about the business for the _ which she had come in a thor- oughly workmanlike manner when & door opened, and a man's voice said: "Good Lord! Hasn't anyone warned you yet that floods don't do surgical instruments' any good?" ; Due To Shock "Bob Benchley sauntered across the room -and stood. leaning against the wall, his hands in his pockets, grinning down at her, In her passion of loneliness, Tran was so glad to see him that she sobbed all the more loudly. "I had an idea you'd be letting your hair down somewhere," he went on cheerfully. "You would pick a nice festive little nook like this for it." So he had been hunting for her. "I just thought you might like to know'"---he was lighting. a cig- arette as he spoke, frowning down - at it, carefully not looking at her --"that it isn't so bad as we thought at first--about Old Sarge, I mean..

"As sure," he said dryly, 'as a mere junior surgeon is ever pre- sumed to be about everythipg. But it may reasstré you to know that the Lord High Executioner. him. self, is pretty sure, too. We'd hardly got the bleeding stopped, | by the way, before. he assumed charge of the case, himself." ' Remembering the surgeon - in her historic nursig care report on the mythical case of X, Tran gig- gled through her tears. "He wouldn't," she asked, "have been taking his own pulse, would he?" . She's Nursing Him "He was leading up, to that when Miss Miller came in. She soon put a stop to that. There's never .any question about who's in charge of a case when the per- fect nurse steps into the room." "So she's nursing him, then?" "Very much so . ... And it_ may interest you to know that she asked for you as her relief." _ "Well," Tran said cryptically, "she certainly wouldn't want me around if things hadn't gone off according 'to schedule." He stared .at her as if trying to "find -in "her tear-stained face the answer to a question= that vay troubling him, "That depends on what you ig 'according to schedule',"" he said; at last. "When I opened the door a few minutes ago, the perfect nurse was weeping into her pa- tient's pillow, whilethe patted her shoulder with his good hand, and looked--well, respect for the red- blooded man-eater old Sarge used to be makes. me hate to use the 'only term that aptly describes the way he was looking . . . I don't know what the discipline of this hospital's coming to." "Well, we've still got you to ubhold the good old traditions," Tran observed wickedly. Then, at thought of Stephen Sargent patting Katherine Miller's shoulder while she wept into his pillow, her own loneliness swept over her in an engulfing tidal wave, and she sobbed anew. Imitating an Icicle _ Young Dr. Benchley took his hands out of his pockets; then, as if alarmed by his own impulse, thurst them hastily back again, : "Gosh, kid, I'm sorry!" he said afted a moment. "I'd been think- ing all this time that you were just. off me because my frivolous companionship interfered with the serious business of life. I didn't know it was because you--were in love with him." "But I'm not," Tran sobbed. "Not in the way you mean. It's just--oh, he's so swell, and I'm so darned glad he's all right. I couldn't bear it--about his arm. I "Well," Bob said, "two shocks like this in one day was almost too much for me, First I find the ideal nurse weeping into a pati- ent's pillow; and then I find her most ardent admirer and imitator dissolved in tears hecanse -= she says--she's happy, "I--" "Who?" Tran sat up abruptly. "Me? Imitate her?" "Well, who has been your in- spiration then? Why, it. was get- ting so you gven looked and talked - like her!" Tran stared . . . So that was the ~ . way, she had been seeming to Bob ~--like Katherine 'Miller--the per. fect icicle. < "Honestly, Agility," he was go. ing on, "it restores my confidence in the balance of the uniyerse to. find out that you have an honest cry left in your system---eyen if it is all for another man M5 "7 He was grinning now--that old whimsical 'grin that' made the . homeliness of his lean dark fice flash intd'boyish charm; but there was a wistful twist to the grin that. ugged at Tran's heart-strings. --ple footwear.

Well * it's-a wise woman who knows en- ough to take her own good advice, she thought. "Of course, I got off with the wrong foot," he was going on with his funny, twisted grin. "I should have played Old Sarge's system. and put you in your place with a few verbal brickbats in the begin- ning.. But no--I had to lead with my chin. , . . Well, I could cut off both my arms, and not a tear out of anyone." "Bob," Tran said in a small "frightened voice, "I--you don't suppose we could pretend we were beginning all over--do you? .. .

And _as they ine together, laughing--partly to mask their desperate seriousness, and partly because it was spring and they were young--this time, mercifull-, no one opened the door.

Coming Next Week! Sandal Is Oldest -Form Of Footgear Dates From Ancient Times -- But Roman - Occupation of England Brought - With It New Fashions Ir Footwear ~The most ancient form of foot- covering is-the sandal, writes Beat: rice R. Coole, in the British Wo- men's Magazine, but sandals have-| never been particularly well suited "to the cold northern climate of Britain. The women of early Brl- taln soon deserted the primitive sandal for the more practical shoe made of leather, The type of shoe worn in earlldst times was made 'of' hide, with or without the skin, --and of the simplest design. The solo and the 'uppers were made all in one piece; the shoe was pull- ed over the foot and drawn up round-the ankle like a purse. Shoes of this kind were practical and were appropriate with the simple gowns that women wore Jn those days. At the time of the occupation of England by the Romans, with their 'higher standard of civilization, some of the fashions worn by Ro- man matrons were soon introduc. ed Into England, Dress underwent "little change, buf often shoes of an elaborate type were worn. The Ro- mans themselves had always been fond of costly shoes, and their tastes remalned unchanged when ~ they came to England, Wore Them Gally Golored Anglo-Saxon ladles favored sim- Their shoes were made of soft leather, close-fitting and naturally shaped to the foot. Tllustrations of - footwear of this - period - are rare, and for the cen..' turies following the beat cvidente of what was actually, worn comes from tombs and old church brasses, Women's shoes appear to have been usually black. But in the Bay- eux Tapestry men are shown wear- ing colored shoes -- red- blue, green and 'yellow--so it Is prob- _ abla that" Norman ladies followed their husbands' lead and wore gally-colored shoes, Certainly, when men In the twelfth century took to_ornamenting their shoes with embroidery and even with Jewels; thelr. wives soon followed sult. : ¥ - -------------------- 4 Because of the shortage of mil- kers, farmers-of (lermany are re- duejng the number of milk OWE, 'homemaker pattern parts.
