Shanghai, China, Aug. 20, 1940
After nearly five weeks of fruitless effort to find a way home I really got my hopes up this morning. But it seems that I had hopes up a blind alley.
Yesterday I heard a "Committee for Returning Refugees to the Yuyao and Shaoshing Countryside." I found their office up a very dirty little alley, produced the necessary passes and passport photos and bought a ticket.
UP AT 4:30
I got up at 4:30 this morning and got to the office of "The Committee for Returning Refugees etc..." before the doors were open. I will not go into detail about the odors and the filth upon which my hope was located. You can find the equal in any American city's foreign settlement, and that will save me the untidy task of writing it down on paper.
I put my thirty pound baggage allotment, consisting of a small suitcase and lunch basket, near the closed door and walked back and forth in the filthy darkness to wait for the office to open. Finally another passenger arrived. He pounded on the door to get things started. The light went on, sleeping mats were rolled up from one of the office desks and the door was opened.
BRAVE FORTY
The clerks invited us in to sit down. We waited there for the rest of the brave forty who were daring enough to attempt this trip. It would be two days on a small canal launch through occupier territory, one day by small boat across Hangchow Bay and then another day of walking. The one real danger of the trip was from pirates who might operate in Hangchow Bay. For that reason I left all my valuables such as wristwatch and fountain pen and good clothing with friends Shanghai.
I left the cook stove and threw provisions with the company from which they were purchased with the understanding that I would try to get some other of my friends to bring them down.

VERY DIFFICULT
The manager of the company arrived very shortly before the time scheduled for our departure. He came to me and said that the trip would be very difficult for foreigner.
"I am used to difficulty," I answered, feeling like an unwelcome guest.
EMBARRASS COMPANY
"Well, it will embarrass the company to have a foreigner long."
"Will it cause trouble to you with the Japanese in occupancy?" I asked.
"Yes, it is not convenient for the foreigner to go. We will return your ticket money," and he handed me back my forty dollars. "You want your pass," he added.
"There is no use for it now."
PASSPORT PHOTO
I put my money in my pocket and he tore the pass carefully through the center of the passport photo as if it was the last part of the formality of ridding himself of the troublesome foreigner.
He bowed me out politely and bowed myself politely and then was the end of it except for disappointing feeling in my stomach which even an early breakfast could not alleviate.

BY MARY ANN
Following in the general trend of "short-cuts" to save time, women in America today are having their own "short-cuts" in hair-do's. Besides saving time in preparation, the new hair-do is very attractive.
3-TO-5-INCH HAIR-DO
The three-to-five-inch hair do's are capturing the fashion spotlight. In many of the new styles the three-inch strands are across the back at the nape of the neck and the five-inch strands in front, so that the front hair can be worn either in a pompadour or in bangs. On some new coiffures, however, the strands are short all over the head. In any case the ends have to be cut feathery and fine so that they fall into soft curls and ringlets.
SLACKS VS. STOCKINGS
So much for coiffures... How about this silk stocking problem? One way out is to wear slacks and either short sox or heavier stockings. However, slacks, no matter how comfortable they may feel or look, do cause one to not wish to wear skirts or street dresses. The wearing of slacks becomes a habit... I agree with many that slacks are nice for the beach, the mountains and home but at parties and on the street, NO!
MATERIALS COUNT
What makes a dress not a Sunday-go-to-meeting dress but a house dress? One guess, material... One pattern can be used to make a charming dress plus an appropriate school or house dress. It all depends on the material.
RESOLUTIONS
The President of the United States said recently that over 50 per cent of the national income will be spent on war materials in 1942. What does this mean to the American woman? It means that our clothes and our accessories will have to last longer. Our food will have to go farther (just as our tires will). In fact, we will have to do what we have been doing in the past with much less... One of our resolutions should have been to keep the home fires burning with plenty of cheery wholesome food, not elaborate but wholesome, and al-
