It had a fitted bodice, bouffant skirt, three-quar ter sleeves and lovely seeded plique detail around the scoop cd neckline. She also wore a bridal crown covered with seed pearls and sequins with veil of Illusion attached and car riod a bouquet of white carnations tied with blue satin streamers.

These are: Dr. Amelia Rivera, A Fellow of Washington University, St. Louis, wlio now conducts a clinic In Angeles; Father Denito Rivera, a Jesuit priest now living in Manila, and Gandido Rivera, at attorney living in Davao City. Mrs. Rivera, who is an authority on flower arrangement and gatxlenlng, conducted classes In both while in tlie Islands.

And, because the people of that area have a pronounced interest in the United States, she also gave lectures on life in this counti-y. Mrs, Rivera reports that each lectui-e included a question andi answer period since every phase i of life in this country meets with; comparison with life in the' Philippine. Some of the questions are. sne reports, strictly some questions provide an opportunity to clari-i fy mistaken ideas about thoi "differences."

Flora Robson, DBE Dame of the British Empire is playing the i-ole of a Chinese cm- press but it is no secret that Greta Garbo was first offered the job. Behind all the make-up no one would recognize her, Garbo was told. Making a big movie comeback without looking like Garbo was "bait" everyone thought the Swedish star would take. "I want my fans," she has iihvuys said In declining past offers, "to remember me as 1 once looked, not as I look today." As IV Chinese empress, only her voice would be recoRnlzcd. The trap was set and baited with enough money to make Garbo's eyebrows arch in mem- 017 of her early days in Hollywood.

He had been saving in this manner for several years and the toes of the shoes were firmly stuffed.

When many fives accumulated, he stealthily extracted them, changed them for twenties or fifties and replaced them. The shoes were old, un wearable, and Martha never bothered them. After replacing the shoe, Benny dressed. He could smell the breakfast Martha was pre- aring. But what good was reakfast, he thought glumly.

A man of 55 needed more than food. He needed companion ship, affection and someone to bolster his ego and then. All Martha did was criticize, find fault with him and the world in general. "But pretty soon," Benny sighed wistfully, "pretty soon I'll leave all this. I'll take oiT for California.

There's $500 in those shoes and that will tide me over until I get settled and get a job. Then let her try to find me." All that day while he worked, he dwelt on the joyful future that life held for him. Martha, busy in the kitchen, runted as he entered the door, ut Benny went directly to the bedroom and his cache. He groped about in the dark closet, but his hand fumbled in empty space. He felt the floor.

P'elt the other side of the closet. Then went into the bedroom to get a flashlight that he always kept beside his bed. A beam of light searching out all the corners of the closet told the same story. The shoes were gone! From incredulity, Benny turned to panic. "Martha! Martha!" he screamed rushing into the kitchen.

"Where are my old shoes? The old shoes I kept in the closet?" Martha, in the midst of dish ing up some potatoes, replied calmly, "I gave them to some people who were gathering old clothing today." "Gave them away," gasped Benny. 'Sure. You never wore them. Why keep tljem?" I wanted them," he cried in a voice fraught with emotion. "Who got them? Who was collecting, for what?" "Oh, for land sake.

I don't know," Martha plunked the potatoes on the table. "Salvation Army, Volunteers of America, or mebbe the Boy Scouts. I don't know. Just somebody collecting old cloth ing. Eat your dinner." The next morning, instead of going to work, he made the rounds of one agency after another.

Oh, if he could just find those shoes before who ever got them, discovered the money. At last, laic in the afternoon, he found them in the window ai a rummage sale. paid for them, giving the girl a $5 bill and telling her to keep tht change. Outside the shop he could hardly wait to run his hands in the toes of the shoes. But the toes were empty! Someone had discovered the money! And what could he do? What would he do? Benny walked homeward with bowed head.

All his his longed -for happiness were blasted because Martha had given away his shoes. He burst into the house, slamming the door. He'd tell Martha. He'd tell her how he had disliked h6r nagging for years, how he had been planning on leaving her. Let her say, let her do whatever she liked, he'd tell her.

But the first sight that greeted him, was note taped to the hall mirror. He ripped it off and read: "I'm on my way to Florida. I've wanted a vacation for a long time. I found the money in your old shoes and it 's the break I've been waiting for. I'll be back in a few weeks.

Explaining the meaning of the title, she chuckles: "It means I've gone up the table a bit."
