Trick of the Week: Costume Jeveelry Concocted of Ornamental Buttons

HOME DRESSMAKERS are becoming their own jewelers this year. They took one look at the button counters in the stores and decided to “roll their own” in the costume jewelry feld. The results are little short of amazing—costume accessories that ensemble with the buttons of a new frock, suit or coat—er that “pep up”

a tired dress sagging in the back of the clothes closet.

the button jewelry is a good answer to the what-to-give-for-Christmas problem,

Buttons as whopping rings . . , Bright-colored buttons make a nova

or sewed to a side comb. And in less than five minutes, the wveriest amateur c¢an turn two jeweled buttons into a pair of costume rings (that look expensive but cost only a dollar the pair) by slipping them onto cheap band rings. In even less time and for less money, a :large, elegant button can

be linked by wire to an old gold|

chain, to become a striking pendant worn against a severe neckline. Pipe cleaners, ink-dyed and wired to buttons as flower stems, help fashion button corsages. Hat pins and bracelets, shoe buckles and earrings are some of the possibilities—smart looking, but with none of that made-with-loving hands-at-home look.

THE BUTTON accessories are an outgrowth of the current conservation wave that is causing women to make their own new clothes, remake their old ones.

Earrings are probably the most favored costume accessory made of buttons, and they are much easier to do than one would think. Simply pry the setting out of a pair of discarded earrings. Put several drops of household cement — the kind used for mending china, wood,

Rethread through shank and teeth. Then fasten wire securely and snip off ends. Twist buttons several times until the half-inch slack tightens. Then set buttons at. right angles, so when comb is placed in the pompadour the buttons - stand upright, sparkle side forward. To make the snood, simply gather three sides of a one-and-a-quarter-yard piece of veiling (two widths and a length) on heavy black

enough to fit around the head. With another thread, tightly gather the fourth side and sew this to the comb top.When the party season ‘is over, simply rip off the buttons and save them to use on next year’s frock. -. 8 ” z NEWEST ACCESSORY fad is the ribbon cockade studded with a pin or button.

SUB ESCAPES T0 BARCELONA

Report Other French Ships Fled Toulon During Fleet Suicide.

(Continued from Page One)

Toulon fleet put up a desperate and gallant six-hour fight to keep the Germans off their ships, and that they mowed down with their. machine guns all German and Italian troops who approached. Madrid said axis columns reached the dock where the battleship Strasbourg was anchored and an Italian - German storming party tried to board the ship but were repelled by machine-gun fire. They watched, impotent, while the ship was blown up, dispatches said. Admiral Jean de Laborde, commanding the fleet, hastily summoned a group of trusted young officers to pass the word along to “carry out plan B”—which was for every commander to-try to get away with his own ship and if he failed to blow it up.

but were attacked by German planes, the Spanish advices said. The main batteries of the battleships were exploded, Madrid reported, with the result that it was believed most of the men aboard were killed. According to these dispatches, for six hours the Italians and Germans tried again and again to storm the French ships, but failed and by 10 a. m. yesterday all that remained of a proud fleet was the few masts and one turret of the battleship Dunkerque which stuck up from the water.

Nazi Tanks in Toulon

Swics dispatches agreed with this version. They said the Germans, fighting through Toulon in tanks and armored cars, attacked the port with sub-machine guns and headed for the ships while German planes roared overhead. It was asserted, on the basis of Vichy Havas agency dispatches, that when the Germans made for the ships which were not scuttled at first, the Prench machine crews turned machine guns on them and killed many. The Swiss dispatches indicated that two submarines at least got away, but said a third which tried to escape was blown up by a magnetic mine which German planes had laid. The dispatches quoted Havas news agency as reporting that] many persons were killed in street fighting at Toulon. These reports, which largely quoted the Havas agency and thus were received here with reserve, indicated that not a single ship remained for the Germans to capture and that in addition all shore batteries, naval installations, ammunition and ‘fuel dumps and depots were destroyed. New Mourning Day’ a A Vichy communique broadcast by the German radio said: “Nov. 27 is a new mourning day for the French navy. One can not think without emotion of the proud ships of our navy, now defenseless wrecks. . . . It is all the more painful for Frenchmen because this is the result of lack of dignity by certain leaders who betrayed their country and broke their oath.” Gen. de Gaulle, leader of the Fighting French, broadcasting here, said: “Our fleet has been scuttled so that the nation might at least be spared the ‘supreme shame of seeing her ships become ships of the enemy. Though this tragedy has been added to so many tragedies, France stands united—yes, united— in her determination to wipe out all. the atrocious consequences of disaster and betrayal. On to victory! There is no other road and there never was.” At Algiers, Darlan said: “It was easy to foresee that the granting of free zone status to Toulon was only a German trap to get French vessels under the control of German guns.

Many Lives Sacrificed

“On Nov. 11 ‘I invited the fleet to leave Toulon. By not doing so its officers thought they would save their ships. They lost them and caused the deaths of many officers, soldiers and sailors. . .. “French Africa is the only place in the world where our flag flies freely, where the army carried its its arms, where the fleet has its flags hoisted and where the air force can freely use its wings. We are the sole hope of France and we must show ourselves worthy of her.” It was believed here that the scuttling of the fleet, if confirmed officially, would strengthen Darlan’s position and do much tor appease his critics. He had promised the allies that the fleet would not aid the axis. The Vichy radio, after some hours of silence, resumed service last night under German control and gave the French public the first announcement that French West Africa had gone over to the allies days before.

rapidly changing war picture were! -

1. A British-American spearhead of the allied army in Africa had driven within 15 miles of Tunis and it appeared that large-scale fighting for the Tunis-Bizerte triangle may be expected shortly. 2. Radio Morocco reported that preparations for the big allied push

| against Tunis and Bizerte are in

the final stage. 3. The British admiralty reported today that British submarines have sunk nine axis supply ‘ships and damaged three more on the supply route across the Mediterranean to Tunisia and Tripolitania. Among the ships sunk was a large two funneled passenger liner, bagged off Sicily. An Italian destroyer of the 865-ton Orione class was reported damaged. . 4. American flying fortresses bombed a floating drydock in the Italian Dodecanese islands.

Turkey Balks Hitler

5. A Havas French news agency report, heard in New York, said that Turkey had refused permission to the axis to send 27 merchant ships through the Dardanelles from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea. 6. Secretary of Navy Frank Knox said that “things are going very well in the Solomons,” but warned that the enemy will come back. Allies Near Tunis Reports from North Africa placed allied spearheads at 15 miles or less from Tunis in what appeared to be a move to seize the Tunisian capital and isolate the axis garrison dee fending the Bizerte naval base. Some reports of Vichy origin placed the allied vanguard within 10 miles of Tunis but there was no confirmation of these dispatches from authoritative sources. The allied high command ree ported that Tabourda, 15 miles from Tunis, had been captured—appar« ently with little opposition. The American and British troops were moved on Djedeida, 10 miles from Tunis. Allied air power showed a marked increase in the North African thee ater and 11 axis planes were ree ported shot down in air combat. Taking over of the Istres air base gives the Germans a new aerial defense stronghold which they might develop to resist any allied attack on Corsica or Sardinia and would . enable. their planes .to . operate over a wide area of the Mediterranean between Spain and Italy.. The Germans were reported te be tightening their grip on Toulon,

Pacific - Gen, Douglas MacArthur's forces were driving steadily. against the Japgnese in the "Bun@#‘Gona area of New Guinea. - Japanese resistance was stubborn, but. there were. said to -be some indications the Jape anese would give up Buna without a pitched battle. Charles Arnot, United Press staff correspondent with the U, S. fleet in the Pacific, reported in a delayed dispatch written Nov. 15 that the great naval battle of the four preceding days had smashed the fourth major Japanese attempt to: recapture the South Solomons. Arnot said that two Japanese cruisers - and six destroyers were fleeing northward, the battered remnants of a powerful battle force, Two Japanese battleships, he re ported, definitely were ‘sunk by American warships, which were outgunned and outweighed by their Japanese opponents.
