WASHINGTON. -- Social graces such as dipping your right hand into your food and shouting to women to "cover up" before approaching them are being taught the Yanks fighting in Africa, the war department disclosed. . A 42-page booklet describing in detail the rules of etiquette a la Africa has been issued to United States soldiers in Morocco and Algiers. The booklet warns specifically about table manners,, respect of religion, ai>d conduct toward native women. "When dining with a Moslem host," the Yanks are advised, "adopt his table manners and--always with your right hand--dip into the tasty, fluffy grain dish called kuskus, leaving something in • the bowl for the women and children who will be served later. Accept three cups of mint flavored tea but never a fourth. Be generous with your cigarettes, they are much appreciated. "When you are about to enter a house or yard, call out to the women 'Taghattu!' which means 'cover up.' Never bring a dog into the house. "Shake hands grntly with North Africans. Never strike one; while no bruisers, they are handy with knives. Never giv« Moslems alcoholic drinks or pork. "When you shop, bargain for all you're worth, but politely. Try to learn to talk to the North Africans In Arabic; they will like you for it no matter how poorly you pronounce it." They were told that they were courting serious injury if not death at the hands of Moslem men if they did not obey rules in regard to native women folk. Previously announced "don'ts" warned against star'ng, jostling, speaking to or trying to remove the veil of uative women. Refugees Are Beaten And Robbed by Japanese NEW DE1.JH.

"He's swell," Kitty would say. "Tbe swellest brother in the wbrld." I remember hearing "swell" used that way for the first time by Kitty about her brother. Before we were using "swell," when we still thought it was old-fashioned slang for "fashionable," Kitty used to say her brother was wonderful or great. But one day she burst into my room with a box of candy. It was rainy, a chilly winter afternoon, too bad for any outdoor exercise, and you know how gloomy a girl's school gets under conditions like that. So Kitty's box of candy was, naturally, a godsend. "He's the swell-elegantest brother in the world," she said. And of course I agreed. I was thrilled with the easy way she rolled this new t>it of slang off her tongue, and I was hungry for some candy. Anyway, I'd come to think a lot of Br^nd just because he was so nice to Kitty. It was fanny, of coarse, when I really seetiaed to know him so well, but I never met Brand till I'd been oat of school two years and was twenty. They lived in California, and Brand went to school and college there, and he was on a business trip in South Ameriea when we were graduated from Mnrchison's. So Kitty's father came on alone for it. Her mother had died by that time. Then Kitty went to college near home, and I went abroad to study art for two years. Even then Brand and I sent messages to each other through Kitty's letters--we felt like old friends, because Kitty iwas jklways swapping (nessages for as and quoting us to each other. When I came back I went straight to visit Kitty. I'd promised to spend Christmas holidays with them. Then I saw Brand, for the first time. Standing on the station platform beside Kitty. And didn't they Ipok good! Until suddenly, as they were running forward to meet me, I realized that Brand was short. Kitty is shorter than I, and he didn't seem much taller than she. I can't tell you how my heart sank. No real reason, then, of course, for it to behave like that. For I really didn't care how tall or how short Brand was--then. Well, we had a gay ten days. That first evening we talked over plans for the whole visit. Kitty had a lovely step-mother who seemed to want to do everything to make Kitty and Brand happy. "Are you all set for the fancy dress dance on New Year's eve?" asked Kitty. And of course I was. "I'm going as a Spanish dancer-- I have a costume I got in Spain," I said. J'Old lace mantilla, full skirt, painted fan and the duckiest spikeheel red slippers you ever saw." "Well," said Brand--and already I was conscious of his eyes on me most of the time. "Well," he said, "we'll look good together, won't we? I'm going to be Friar Tuck--brown robe, rope girdle, and all. I'iti going to wear sandals. Three days before the party I got away by myself and went shopping. Before I went I took one last look at my spike^heeled red slippers, my lovely tortoise shell comb, my beautiful painted fan. You see, I had decided to wear another costume. The Spanish one wouldn't do without those spike-heel shoes and they'd just make me too tall for Brand in his monk's sandals. So I decided to be a nun, with nice flat-heeled slippers under my long skirts. I managed to get the costume,, and sneak it in, and when I tried it on, by myself that evening, I decided I really looked very sweet and demure in it. And a lot shorter. The party came at last and, without saying anything to Kitty or Brand about my change of plans, I dressed in my dove-gray costume, with my white veil and wimple, and my little white mask, and went downstairs. There, in the hall, looking ap and waiting for me, was Brand. He didn't have his mask on --but I would have known him anyway. He wasn't Friar Tuck. Instead he was in Spanish costume, dressed as a toreador, with those high-heeled boots that stage toreadors wear. He looked beautiful, waiting so eagerly. He knew me, even in my strange costume and white mask, that made me look so little. He looked at me, as I stood a little shyly beside him--not just across at me, as he would normally, not up to me, as he would have if he'd worn the sandals and I'd worn those spikeheeled slippers. But just down at me. And then I last any bit of regret I might have had for my gorgeous Spanish costume. "Well?" said Brand quizzically. "Yes," I answered, shakily. "I guess we both had the same thought," I stuck out one fiat-heeled, round-toed, soft black kid shoe. "Kay," said Brand huskily, "you're a sweet kid. Come on away from this rabble where I can tell yuu so." As we started down the hall, toward the library door under the stairs, he slipped in his high heels on the waxed parquet. I steadied him till he got his footing again. My flat, stout little slippers clung sturdily to the slippery floor. ' Hidaen now by the stairs from the assembling guests, Brand put his arm around me, looked down and laughed.
