SWEATERS TOP FLIGHT FASHION There's infinite variety in swea- ters for every occasion, for every hour this season. Right now as the formal season starts with first nights popping three and four times a week, con- certs in full swing, benefits galore, supper parties before and after the theatre, cocktail and dinner par- ties at home and at night clubs-- the most exciting sweaters are for evening wear. Last winter women took up the fashion of evening sweaters with joy=--finding it the most practical and flattering fash- ion in years. 'This season promises to surpass last in. enthusiastic ac- ceptance of this American fashion. And no' wonder! The new swea- ters for evening are dazzlingly beautiful. Jet, the darling of the season, glistens in beads from strawberry pink swea- ters. Whole yokes of jet sequins highlight black woolknit jerkins or short sleeved sweaters. Jet appears as a border for bottom and neck of a sleeveless jerkin of wool che- nille--smart with a long skirt and balloon sleeved blouse of chiffon. Gold beads and metallic thread trace intricate patterns of embroid- eries on "long torso", fitted swea- ters. Rhinestones gleam in clusters in an all-over pattern--the only trimming on an azure blue sweater. New stitches have been devised to make lovely textures of the knits. One fabric is a fine wale knit made of a soft yarn--beautiful in white with elaborate gold embroid- ery. Another is ftricot-cord, a smooth, closely knit fabric with body to it for the more tailored sweaters, Wool chenille has a fine "nubby surface which gives texture interest to the sweaters for even- ing. Pinks, blues, white, red, and black are the loveliest and most impor- tant colors for these evening swea- ters. Classics go on for college and country wear--with violet tones, gold, clear light blues, and orange- red leading the field of colors. French and English women have long loved the dressmaker type sweater to wear as a suit blouse. Charming softer sweaters are now appearing for American women to 'wear with their town suits. Smock- ing, drawn work, drawstring necks with little bows and buttons, high square and scalloped necklines are some of the details which distin- guish this greup of suit sweaters. They are knitted on fine-gauge machines of finer, softer yarns-- angora, chiffon Shetland, Cashmere and blends of these lovely yarns. Colors are delicate so that the whole effect is one of charming femininity, sequins and | C.G.LT. GIVE VARIED PROGRAM Last evening there was a good at- tendance at the C.G.IT. enter- tainment at Simcoe Street United Church, when two short plays were presented and a program of music was heard.

PRINCESS ALICE AIDS FRENCH REFUGEES Ottawa, Oct. 30--(CP)--Carrying the tradition of leadership in and charitable activities the wives of former Highness, Princess Alice, has been instrumental in founding a &ociety for the succor of French refugees in Britain, Through Beatrice Belcourt, public relations officer of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: who act- ed as 'her intermediary, Princess Alice called together g large group o¢ French-Canadian women, and women from France The meeting was held yesterday afternoon at Government House. Princess Alice, although now in Canada with her husband, the Earl of Athlone, is Honorary President of the Anglo-French Cummittee for the French Red Cross and other war charities created in Lon- don in 1914 by Vicomtesse Dé La Panouse, head of the present An- glo-French committee. She called the meeting of French- speaking women to describe the work of this London committee and create an affiliated organization in Canada. Princess Alice herself spoke ex- quisite: French when she made a brief address to the 75 women gathered in the spacious ballroom at Government House. "I want to thank you for your response to my S.0.8." she said. Then she told how French and English living in London during the first Great War had worked together to provide clothing for soldiers and refugees, tobacco, £oap, and other comforts The committee was reorganized at the start of the present war, to send parcels to soldiers and to help ref- ugees and evacuees in France. As one example of its work, Her Royal Highness cited assistance given to hundresZs cf thousands cf persons who fled before the Nazi invaders from Alsace-Lorraine to Central France. Princess Alice said -the France brought to an end aid to the French people hut creat- ed another problem. 'Thousands of French refugees had fled to Eng- land where they have become an extra burden to the British people whose hands already are full with victims of air raids and refugees from other invaded countries. "Poor fishermen from the coast of Normandy and Brittany came over in their little boats, bringing their wives and children to Britain after the fall of France," she said.

(CP)--War has dimmed the lights of hospital- ity in many a palatial embassy and legation along Massachusetts avenue and cast a pall of gloom over the Washington diplomatic circle once famous for its endless round cf en- tertainment, Of the 55 embassies and legations in the United States Capital at least 22 represent countries now engaged in war, obliterated by war or on the brink of the conflict. Before the war a white tie and tails were necessary articles of the socially aspiring Washingtonian. In the last year these habiliments have become frozen assets, Not only has the war put an end of the dazzling displays of hospi- tality in which one foreign country vied with another to attract the most notable guests but it has created a problem for those whose official capacities require them to entertain. It would never do to have the German ambassador brought into an accidental meeting with the representative of the British Gov- ernment in Washington while the latter was discussing a cocktail with the Polish ambassador. Fortunately the ambassadors and ministers concerned "play ball" with hosts and hostesses. Those from the aggressor nations, Germany, Italy and Japan, go about very little. When they make necessary calls at the state department or White House their arrival is known well in advance. They conclude their busi- ness with all speed and leave at once, There was a recent instance of a British embassy official calling upon a high officer of the United | States State Department while the | Italian ambassador was there. | It seemed certain that a meeting | would occur in the ante-room | until a bright under-secretary solv- | ed the difficulty by asking the Brit- | ish official to step into the office lof another department officer who wished to talk with him. When |the Italian had left the British | official was taken in to his appoint- | ment and he never knew of the | incident. At the annual diplomatic recep- tion in the White House. about the | | middle of December, there was dif- ficulty last year in arranging mat- {ters so that representatives of |enemy countries would not come | into conflict. | That task will be doubly difficult | when the reception is held this De- | cember | countries are involved. | "hose on the staffs of the em- because so 'many more bassies and legations involved in the war have strict orders from their superiors not to make them- selves conspicuous and to avoid pub- licity. | This is particularly true of 'the | Germans. and Italians who are in | the embarrassing position of read- ing daily expressions of American sentiment against their countries. The German embassy has been considerably in the news in recent days, however, because of reports of evidence taken before the congres- sional committee as unamerican | activities and now before the grand [jury having to do with allegations of subversive activities bearing em- Over U.S. Embassies | themselves |since Italy entered the war last | June. Parent Problem! by GARRY C. MYERS, Ph.D. -> "Dear Mr. Myers: "My boy two years old, who has been feeding himself since one year of age, refuses to eat any cereal regardless of the type. If I give orange juice, then egg, then cereal for breakfast, he will re- fuse cereal, If I give cereal first, he will refuse this and go without breakfast. He will cry and insist on drinking milk first regardless of what meal. If he sees the dessert he wants only the dessert. If given potato, vegetable and meat on same plate, although separated, he will eat only potatoes and meat. It po- tatoes and vegetables are given, he will eat only potatoes." Let Child Feed Himself My reply, in part: It is fine that you have let your child feed himself. I hope you don't feed him now however much you are tempted to do so. Until this prob- lem is solved it were better to have him eat alone, and with no other adult in sight if possible. Serve his food on a chair or low table. Serve only one food at a time and in a very small portion. Present first either the orange juice or about a quarter of a cup of milk, no more. Thereafter have no lig- uid before him during his meal. Present first the cereal at breakfast in very small portion: a vegetable at each other meal; nothing else. Keep all other food out of sight in another room, and your lips sealed. If, after a few minutes he has not begun to eat the one food before him, remove it, keeping your lips sealed, have his meal end there. Allow him no When he chooses the parti food before him refuse him of it until he has eaten all th small portion of the next fog sented alone to him, and s& until he runs the whole course { refuses any food offered. lwa let him choose between the "Jo« offered or nothing. Don't Give Large Pi As the plan succeeds you be tempted to make the po much too large and to present eral foods at a time. He learn that food is hard to get that he rarely can have all H wants of anything. Once : him begging for food ph made real progress. Keep th scales out of sight during the "co rective program. Expect the chil to lose weight if he holds out few days. Think of his weigh two weeks or two months hence, In case you don't have the cou age to carry out such a you might better leave home & f¢ days, especially during this child} meal times, and have a nurse other person who can be holl calm and unemotional, and, thei fore, successful. If no showed any emotion over child's failure to eat what HX should there would be p : no eating problems among bab and young children except: thos requiring the guidance of a ped! atrician. ae th tically bassy approval if not direction. At the present time there is no German ambassador here. Dr. Hans Dieckhoff returned to Ger- many last year when United States ambassador Hugh Wilson returned from Berlin, Neither have resumed | their posts. The Marquess of Loth- ian, the British ambassador, also | is absent on a visit to London and is expected back shortly. Meanwhile the German embassy is in the hands of Dr. Hans Thom- sen, Counsellor and Charge D'Af- faires. This official is popular and well-liked, as is his strikingly beautiful wife, Dr. Thomsen is really a Scan- dinavian who was born while his parents were living in Germany, The Italian embassy is occupied by Ambassador Don Ascanio Del Principi Colonna with about 28 of- ficials and their wives in residence. They have virtually withdrawn from social activity ' - Much has been said in the Wash- ington press recently of the French embassy under ambassador Gaston Henry-Haye, appointed last month by the Vichy Government. There have been heavy additions to the staff in the persons of military, naval and air attaches which cause observers here to wonder In view of the difficult position of France as a conquered nation. It is learned on good authority that the Japanese embassy prefer Chines restaurants all others. Lodge Enjoys Social Celebrate Hallowe' Victoria L.T.B.
