As a result Hardy Amice suc- ceeded Dighy Morton as designer to Lachasse when Morton retired in start his own salon.
With no training to guide his early career. Amies became part of the world of silk: and setins- nnd still laughs at. his own sket-

"Don't ever see him again or mention the name in my presence." he said in a. hoarse whisper. And then. as if he feared giving way any further.) he got up quickly and left the room. Glare" did see him again, of course: she saw him as often as they could arrange it. she flew with him in his plane. worked with him in” his amazing littio workshop at the edge of the tiny airport he'd laid out on one car- ner of the big Casweli estate.

"You're late," he said. "I've been waiting for you."
Clare glanced over the plane as if passing judgment on it. Nod- ding then, satisfied. she raised her brows at Henley. His remark ap- peared to have Just registered. "Unavoidably detained," she re- plied.
The one-sided grin tugged cold- ly at l-fanley's mouth again. and he said: "Hop in. I want to show you why this wouldn't make a good training plane. even for you"
Clare stepped up on the foot- plate on the trailing edge of the wing. and then quickly. holding her skirt close around her, got into the cockpit. Henley got in next, taking the seat behind her He slid the hatch in place over them and gunned the motor.
"What's your mechanic's name?"i Clare called as Eddie Franklin' appeared from nowhere to pull the blocks from in front of thej wheels. Hanley told her, shouting! back above the motor's roar, and Clare waved to the mechanic as he stepped back to one side.fi-am-t ing his first name with her lips.

(By Tbomu A. need!) BERLIN. Aug. 10 - (AP) - Tens of thousands of Communist blueshirts strayed from East Ber- lin's World Youth Festival it-to west Berlin as sight.-seers today an boosted the total of such vial- tor during the week to 250.000. Red leaders didn't like it. The youths defied Communist orders in surrendering to the temptation to see how the West noes things. A crackdown against a few sel- ected boys and girls backfired. A young girl. bitterly attacked in East Berlin for her trip, fled back to the West and tried to commit suicide by slashing her wrists. She was removed to a West Berlin Hospital and promised haven as a political refugee. '
