Interesting Program Is Presented
Here By Sorosis Education Group
“Education and the Art of Be
ing Free Citizens” was the theme
of discussion Thursday afternoon
when the Educational department
of North Carolina Sorosis pre
sented J. Vivian Whitfield as
guest speaker. Mr. Whitfield’s
wide range of interests as uni
versity instructor and later as
representative of the United States
givernment in Latin America, and
now president of the Pender Coun
ty Farm Bureau, and new mem
ber of the state legislature afford
a treasury of ideas and ideals.
His lecture was in truth a vig
orous argument that “Man is Mas
ter of His Fate,” and by educa
tion properly applied, determines
whether he shall be enslaved or
free.
The entire program was an ex
pression of the club’s good-will
towards Wilmington’s splendid,
talented citizens of foreign birth.
Representatives were presented
and received warm response from
all present.
Mrs. E. W. Halleck, represent
ing France, sang a number of folk
songs and the Marsellaise, Mrs.
David Foster, native of Soviet
Russia, expressed in native lan
guage and then translated her
pleasure of living in America.
Gerald Baker, young English ref
ugee, who lives with relatives in
the city, and graduated from New
Hanover High school in June, was
unable to attend because of urg
ent business at that hour. Frank
Lin, associate of the local Sam
Lee Laundry, proved an interest
ing spokesman for Chinese in this
country. Mrs. Davis Howes was
recognized and in gracious man
ner responded in French and
English. "God Bless America,”
sung by Mrs. Marion Runkles, so
loist, and in unison by the au
dience, was accompanied by Miss
Emma Gade Hutaff, and con
cluded the program, international
in scope.
Official hostess, Mrs. Charles
Lee Bragg, was assisted in re
ceiving by Mrs. C. W#yne Spen
cer, Sorosis president; and Mrs.
W. M. Hibbs, vice-chairman. Pour
ing tea were Mrs. J. C. Williams,
vice-chairman of the North Caro
lina Federation of Women’s clubs,
and Mrs. L. Clayton Grant, dis
trict president. Mesdames George
Leftwich, E. E. Boegli, H. T.
Fisher, Louis O. Fonvielle, and
Mrs. Paul Burton served refresh
ments.
Officers of the department are:
Mrs. W. A. Fonvielle, chairman;
Mrs. Charles Lee Bragg, vice
chairman; and Mrs. A. B. Love,
secretary.
Fashions By Balenciaga
Show Spanish Influence
PARIS, Oct. 20 — Styles from
this fashion capital show a definite
Spanish influence, for a very
special reason. Balenciaga, said to
be the creator with the greatest
influence on fashions throughout
the occupation, has been stranded
in Spain since the frontiers were
closed.
Spanish inspiration is especially
stressed in the large number of bo
lero effects reminiscent of the bull
fighters’ dress, and ‘Infanta”
dresses are popular. Balenciaga is
responsible, too, for the stressing
of wasp waists and definitely
rounded hips, a distinct departure
the streamlined silhouette which
had been current until outbreak
of the war.
Balenciaga features longer
skirts. Suits show supple jackets
cut on easy-fitted mannish lines,
but with nipped-in waistline and
slender skirts. Pickets appeared
on most models, both formal and
informal, coats, dresses and many
redingotes featuring three pockets
strung across the front. A notice
able feature of the Balenciago
collection wa sthe number of red
ingotes in plain corduray velvet,
the latter used horizontally, worn
over dresses of matching or con
trasting colored wool and silk
crepes.
Most popular colors were navy,
black, chestnut brown, copper,
and many pastel blues. Other de
tails highlighted were detachable
boleros, gilets, capelets and fring
ed, draped fichus in pastel velvets
or satins. Sequin embroidery of
the same color as the dress or in
neon light effects was especially
stressed for formal afternoon
frocks, usually following the short
bolero theme or again forming
deep, rounded yokes with a touch
of embroidery on the cuffs. Sou
tache and passementerie trim
ing was also used on afternoon
coats stressing definietly the round
ed shoulder line All coats showed
fullness massed at the back and
caught in by a half-belt, buttoning
high at the throat with six to seven
double rows of buttons.
ULTRA-FULL SKIRTS
Dinner dresses included a model
with a slender black velvet skirt
and black silk top entirely em
broidered in black sequins, while
another showed gold and silver
embroidery reminiscent of Christ
mas tree decorations forming bo
lero and cuffs. Hostess dresses
favored ultra-full flowing skirts
with almost tailored tops. One es
pecially striking model of onary
yellow velvet was worn over a
white satin gown finished with an
enormous double jabot neckline.
Another was fashioned of scar
let velvet lined with black moire.
A striking evening gown of Goya
inspiration was made of ecru lace
wth tight decollete bodice of
emerald green velvet with a man
tillaof velvet edged with lace.
The show ended with a spec
tacular bridal dress of white ben
galine with the same full skirt and
fitted wristlength jacket, while the
bridesmaid’s dress of white satin
was distinctly 1880 style with off
the-shoulder neckline and skirt
hem edged with volants. Balenci
aga’s hats were evocative of the
styles of the last war with much
ostrich feather ♦rimming.
The mannequins were all up
swept coiffed with curls forming
a coronet effect, also of Spanish
inspiration.

Misunderstanding On Gas
Registration Is Cleared
Due to the misunderstanding re
garding the portion of the bach
cover of the old "A” ration gaso
line book, to be surrendered upon
application for renewal before No
vember 9, officials of the New Han
over War Price and Ration Board
yesterday asked applicants to note
that the term back cover means
that portion Of the book which in
cludes certification of the book
holder.
Since only this portion of the
cover is required, applicants may
retain the front cover bearing the
vehicles identity and serial num
ber. This will eliminate necessity
for using any loose "A-ll” cou
pons, and enable ration holders to
apply for renewal at once, even
though they have on hand "A-ll”
coupons which are unused.
"E and R” coupons expire
October 31, and may not be accept
ed by dealers after that date. On
and after November 1, only “E
and R” coupons bearing serial
numbers will be accepted, officials
said.

National Gallery Of Great Art
Treasures Returned To Capital
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20 -W*—'The
national gallery of art’s great trea
sures of painting and sculpture are
back from their secret wartime
hiding place, it was announced to
night.
The gallery revealed that the
rare works, absent from their dis
play rooms since the time of Pearl
Harbor, have been kept in long
prepared quarters at Biltmore
French renaissance chateau built
in the Blue Ridge mountains near
Asheville by the late George
Vanderbilt in the 1890’s.
The fact that selected paintings
and sculptures from the Mellon and
Kress collections had been evacuat
ed for safety from air hombings
was announced shortly after they
were taken from the gallery, but
their storage place was kept secret.
David E. Finley, director of the
gallery, said that the storage place
was arranged more than s i x
months before Pearl Harbor, by
courtesy of the trustees of the Bilt
more estate. With the cooperaton
of the trustes of the A. W. Mellon
Educational and Charitable trust,
he said, the storage rooms were
equipped with steel doors, screens
on which to hang the pictures, and
special air conditioning. It was all
ready, he said, when this country
entered the war.
The art works arq being reinstall
ed in the gallery, Finley said, and
as rooms are readied they will be
opened to the pubic without
special ceremony.
