When She Defied A Native Custom Japanese Island Girl Gets A Thrashing for Selecting Her Fiance from Wrong Group Eight young men, from 16 to 20, baat a 17-year-old girl so badly that she was crippled for several weeks, all because she had con- tracted an '"extra-group" engage- ment to marry. At the island town of Takamatsu Japan, it transpired - upon investigation, the peculiar custom is followed that when a boy falls in love with a certain girl, he and all the other members of his "group" leave their homes and go to live with the girl's parents. If the girl decides that she does not like the boy who made the first ad- vances she is entitled to select an- other, but only from that group. Once she has picked one the rest leave the house of her parents and the marriage ceremony follows. While the courting is going on the girl lives the life of a queen, waited on hand and foot by her suitor and his group. But she must not fall in love with a member of another group. A whipping is the penalty. At the trial of this case several citizens testified as to the good character of the young men, but they all received' a 3 months' imprisonment sentence. < References For Mistresses Also CHRISTCHURCH, N.Z.--It has been so difficult to obtain cooks and maids that certain farmers' wives in Canterbury have adopted the practice of obtaining refer- ences from girls leaving their em- ploy testifying to their good qual- ities as employers, They claim that only in this way can they per- suade girls that it .is reasonably pleasant work for them.

Captain Baring was having -a cocktail in his quarters. Miss Mudge was talking to Dick Charlton. Her sparrow face was aglow, and she was drawing on a cigarette in the ridiculous, inade- quate way she had. The chief of- ficer semed to be rather embar- rassed for once in his life. The Foster girl, who had been drink- ing cocktail after cocktail with her atention fastened on him, was reeling over in their direction now. Her expression was glassy and determined. Angela saw her step between them and catch Miss Mudge by the shoulder. Heavens! Was she going to make a scene? She was drunk enough for any- thing. C d"enly Joan's voice rose -- strident and hysterical, over the babel of tongues, arresting the attention of everyone in the room. Miss Mudge was blinking at her, not knowing what it was all about. Joan, a blazing fury of red locks and dishevelment, was bending over her and shouting things that made Angela's heart stand still. You're Mistaken "You think Dick loves you, you poor little simp*' she cried. "Well you're mistaken, He loves me. Do you understand. He loves me. He is laughing at you. Yes, I saw him kiss you on the deck at Yokohama after you had thrown yourself into his arms. I saw you faint, you silly little crow. You did not sce me on the beach chair, did you? Why did you ever leave Ohonto, or wherever you come from? Why did you ever think you could come around the world and behave like anyone else? Don't you know you are a sketch. Take a look at yourself?" Joan threw back her head and laughed. Dick triea to intervene, but she pushed him off and took firmer hold of Miss Mudge, on whose face a slow realization was dawning. Fury Unleashed "You thing because Dick dane- ed with you that he is in love with you and not with me. Well, he is laughing at you up his sleeve. For everybody knows he is making fun of you, but you are too sim- ple to know it. He knows you're 43 and never had another man in your life." (Stop her, stop her someone," Angela was murmuring through pale lips, but everyone semed to be rooted to the spot.) "He knows you say your. prayers at night and help to support the missions. He knows you aie a. Dry who's cheating, a silly little school-teacher, trying to be a sport, smoking cigarettes, paint- ing your face like a-harlot, swig- ging at a drink -- yes, and no doubt sleeping with him, too." "Stop it, Joan. You are mad." Dick was towering over her in ashen fury. He caught her by the arfns, She pulled herself free and slapped his face. "Don't speak to me! I haven't finished with her yet. She wears cotton nightgowns with necks jj sweetening £3 TRY IT Mwgye TOMORROW ° a Issue No. 36--'38 / Cc like this. (Joan gestured from her shoulder to chin.) She sleeps with curlers in her hair, I've seen her, on her way to the bath. Wen't wear her glasses, for fear they might spoil her appearance. She bumps into chairs. Falls over the tables. Chatters, chatters, chat- ters to everyone who will listen to her. All about Ohonto and the wonderful children she teaches. 'Swonderful! Thinks the world is full of glamour -- Oh, I've heard her by the hour. Loses her money at Monte Carlo. Thinks Dick's Sir Galahad. Ha! Why is Dick good to her? Dick's good to her be- cause everyone on the boat knows she's used up her savings and she can't go ashore. Dick's sorry for her. Dick's mad with me -- Little school teachers should stay at home and keep their pennies in their cotton stockings -- should not be a nuisance to grown-ups -- shouldn't think that a Spanish shawl makes them fit to kiss -- poor little Miss Mudge." Everyone tried not to look at Miss Mudge? At first her cheeks had burned. Now they were a ghastly white, except for the dots of rouge high up on her cheeks, that made her look like a wax mo- del. Once she had raised her lit- tle hand to protest. Then it had fallen limply. What was the use? Captain Baring stood as if he were carved in rock. He regarded a drunken woman as the final de- basement of human nature. Hell of a mess for Charlton to get into -- his favorite officer, and he was not a fool with women either. He would have to haul him over the coals, though it probably wasn't his fault at all. Dick. had been cold to more attractive women than Miss Mudge. The captain knew all about him. But a scene like this -- before passengers -- it would not do. The chief officer had turnea his back and was hastily swallowing a drink. Angela and Macduff stood in appalled silence. No one knew what tack to take, but Miss Mudge herself took hold of the situation. Ignoring them all, she put her arm around Joan's drooping shoul- ders, and said in a clear, high voice: "Come on you foolish child. Come down with me." The girl had passed from frenzy to maudlin collapse. She was shivering as her protector dragged her firmly through the door. Down the companionway and along the corridors they staggered, the older woman moving with intent and de- cisive steps. At last they reached Joan's cabin and the girl flopped on her bed. Miss Mudge bent down and drew off her slippers and stock- ings. She made her sit up while she pulled her flowered chiffon frock over her head. , Blushing vaguely when she saw héw little she wore, she gingerly drew off the scrap of lace that seemed to be all of her under-clothing. How lovely she was! Miss Mudge went into her wardrobe and found a nightdress-- of silk so soft that she could crush it in one hand. It was fragrant and sweet as acacia blossom. "Comfy now?" she asked. Joan's reply was an incoherent whisper. Stripped To Shreds Miss Mudge kissed her and tuck- ed her up, dimly touched by her helpless state. Then she found her way fo her own bed in the dark- ness, for she could not bear the light just then. Her numbness was slowly passing and she was coming out of a fog, aware at last that something terrible had happened to her in the captain's quarters. In a full blaze of consciousness, she bur- fed her face in her hands and sob- bed. Miss Foster, wild and drunk and beautiful, had told the truth and stripped her to shreds, right down to the awful foundation of her cotton nightgown and her crimped fringe. : To Be Continued) Golden Wicket A cricket match was once scratched in Australia because the ground was the scene of a gold rush, Claims were pegged out on the pitch. CORN SALVE HUNION SALVE FOOT POWDER Women Urged To Use Their Great Power Their Inaction In This Time Of Human Need Will Puzzle Historians, Hugh Wal- pole Says That the world is in a mess and they who have the power do noth- ing about it, is the claim of Hugh Walpole, well-known British writer, who in a recent article in the Lon- don Daily Sketch, accuses the wo- men of the world of indifference and of neglecting to use the vast " power which is theirs. Women read- ors will doubtless take exception to some of Sir Hugh's sweeping state- ments, but there is much food for thought in his comments, which follow in part: "Made No Use Of Power" "I am sure that some historian of 1980 or 1990 will say 'Why was it that the women of that time, in the very centre of that world's cri- sis, when they had everything in their hands, made no use of their power?' "It sounds, of course, nonsense to say that they Lave everything in their hands when Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin, and the Japanese Ofli- cers are in command of nearly half the world." "Nevertheless, it is true that they have arrived, although nobody seems to have noticed it, at the first stopping place in the long evo- lution of women when men can say to them: With Equal Status "For the last fifty years you ' have been struggling to secure cer. tain independencies. You have sald very stoutly that demesticity and motherhood are not enough for you and that if you are glven, among other things, an equal sta- tus with men, you will be able, by your influence, to help the whole of the present progress of man." New Zealand's Women Police AUCKLAND, New Zealand, -- This Dominion is to have women police. The intention of the gov- ernment to install them was an- nounced by the Minister of -Health, Peter Fraser, in reply to a depu- tation from the Wellington Wom- en's Branch of the Labor Party. The Minister said that women police should be recognized as part of the police system of the country, but he refused to say that they would be appointed im- mediately. Policemen, he said, build their standard of usefulness to society through a long process of training and care would have to be taken to select the right women police.

The arrival of grapes heralds the end of summer and the end too of the jam and jelly making season. By now the wise and thrifty housewives have their cup- boards filled with something more than good intentions and have just enough space left to add the neces- sary number of bottles of grape preserves. A good supply of grape jelly is almost essential in every house- hold. There is nothing the family will like better and it is delicious with meat dishes, on toast, on blanc mange and other puddings. By making grape jelly and using the pulp to make grape butter, you can get two kinds of conserves which anyone will admit is very practical and thrifty. And it's not a long messy job either. A few minutes is all the boiling time needed when bottled fruit pectin is used and besides saving time, it saves juice, flavour and colour. Ripe grape jelly and ripe grape butter are a grand duo, economi- cally as well as dietetically. RIPE GRAPE JELLY 4 cups (2 Ibs.) juice. 71% cups (3% lbs.) sugar 14 bottle fruit pectin. Measure sugar and juice into large saucepan and mix. Bring to a boil over hottest fire and at once add pectin, stirring constant- ly. Then bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard % minute. Re- move from fire, skim, pour quick- ly. Paraffin hot jelly at onge. Makes about 11 ecight-ounce glasses.

Draped Tables For Bedrooms Replacing Wooden Ones; Fit Into Any Odd Space Draped dressing tables are about to put the wooden ones out of busi- ness. Here one reason is the vogue for less of a "woody" effect. An- other reason {is the fact that a draped dressing table can fit in any odd space. But triple wing mirrors for draped dressing tables aren't nearly so chic as oval mirrors or round ones. For a modern room a round mirror without a frame is the thing. For many ti '":al rooms, an easel-back oval mi vor with a wide gold frame is the no'. For an early American or V orian room, you'll find mirrors a little drawer bases that are at'ractive--in either maple or ma- hogany. Try A Taller Lamp And this is the moment to pro- t =t at the smallness of so many of tie lamps that go in bedrooms. For dressing tables, watch out for tiiose little shepherdesses. . . they're too small for much real use. t.y those tall pedestal dressing toble lamps instead; they'll really i. ve you a good light. For reading, too, consider the height of the base as well as the spread of the shade --no use to get a crick in your reek every time you read in bed. Skirts Stay Short For Daytime Wear Either Very Tight or Gored In Widely Flaring Lines PARIS.--For daytime skirts re- main short. They are either very tight or are gored in widely flaring lines. Whatever the hem, hips and waist are always trim and narrow. Shoulders are either wide or high. The majority of waistlines are tight and normal, a few are slightly low- er and a few raised a bit. The top of the silhouette is often emphasiz- ed by bloused effects or with drap- ery over the chest and bosom. Nu- merous crossed fichu and belt drapes are noted even in velvets or in fur trimmings on coats. Bodices and jackets are made with yokes. Sleeves are supremely important; often they are the basis of the whole silhouette. Most conspicu- ous are huge high-drapod mutton sleeves; dolman or batwing types; ruffled cape sleeves. Long tight sleeves with wrinkled forearms and Louis XIV double or triple puffs. Stiff, high-shouldered Italian mut- tons lend interest to many an oth- erwigse simple silhouette. All hous- es show sleeves in a contrasting fabrie or color, or both. More than two-thirds of the mo- tion pictures shown in Rumania in the last year were American.

In other words what accessories are being worn with the new dresses, coats and suits? Coats for winter are pretty gen- erally belted, at least those that are being shown for August sales are, except, of course, the boxy types. Sometimes the belts are of the coat fabric, and sometimes they are leather. In Unique Design Dresses, too, show both unbelted and belted waistlines. And then again some are belted with the material of which the dress is made and sometimes with leather or other contrasting fabric. New belts that contrast with the dress are original in styling and very attractive. Belts and suspenders designed by one firm include such unique things as turquoise studded copper plac- ques combined with leather thongs. Some of them have etched Indian designs on them. One of these depicts the "thunderbird."
