PREPARE 0 TRAIL THIEF T0 EUROPE Miniatures Missing From Art Museum for Week New York, July 26 (A — Police today were following a trail they believed may lead to Europe in their search for five minlature portraits on ivory stolen from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Theft of the objects was kept a gecret for a week while detectives conducted a fruitless search. Even after the robbery became known museum authorities refused to dis- cuss it and police lapsed into si- lence after giving a description of the stolen objects, stating that warnings had been sent to all deal- ers in works of art without result. They fear now that the thieves will not attempt to dispose of their loot in this country, but will try to sell them to dealers in Europe. The minjatures were taken from a showcase adjacent to the J. Pier- pont Morgan collection the night of July 18. A night watchman usually assigned to that section was ill and had not been replaced. Police be- “lieve the thlef used a skeleton key to open the case and pried the miniatures from their fastenings with a jimmy or screw driver. The pleces were portraits of four women and a man, exquisitely _wrought paintings with fine deco- rative work in gold and precious stones. Their intrinsic value was estimated at $10,000, but their *value to art collectors was said to be much higher.

The story [is one of a wealthy young heiress made desperate by the dictation of her spinster aunts and bachelor aunt and of a young college graduate who somehow or other fails to fit into everyday life. Determined to scan- dalize her relatives and thus make null a freakish will, the girl adve tises for a man who has no qualms of conscience. Obviously, the aice young man answers and then it's only a matter of time and of smooth- ing out complications. The piece gets its name from the fact that the young man’s three pals are profe: sional dancing partners at a N York tea room and, it eventually turns out, are the proteges of the spinster aunts. The piece drags somewhat at first and there are not many suspenses, yet it is entertain- ing.

CHILD RUMANIAN KING LIKES TOYS AND FAIRY TALES BUT NOT CANDY Bucharest, July 26 (UP) — King Michael, the chubby-faced, black- eyed five-year old monarch of Ru- mania, likes fairy tales and me- chanical toys but he doesn't care for candy. He rises at eight in the morning and goes to bed at seven-thirty in tweéen study and play, mostly the latter. Young Michael, although not a prodigy, is intelligent and resolute and has a vivid imagination. He fluently relates nursery and fa the bravery of fairy kings. His passlon for things mechanical is inherited from his father, Prince Carol, who is now an exile in Paris Of the .many toys he owns, most of which are mechanical automo Liles, he is fondest of an electrical train that the late King Ferdinand gave him for Christmas in 1924, The child, ruler of 20,000,000 people, i obedient and good-na- After committing pecadillos, he frequently informs those about him that he is going to punish himself, denies himself of pleasure: He likes simple food. H fast is light. Premier Bratiano, the power be- hind the throne—or behind the board of regents—has decided supervise Michael's education and select his entourage. The training for the kingship is to be more rigid than heretofore. break- The young the sons of ro. he met without ceremony. Michael's mother and an English governess have taught Michael much that he knows, including the English lan- guage which he speaks as fluently as Rumanian. In the presence of Ferdinand, the child was always serious and acted like a grownup. He is ve fond of his grandmother, Queen Marie, has often told him stories she in- vented while telling them. And s has never avoided answering any of the unending questions asked by the bright lad. Michael was kept away Ferdinand’s funeral. Later he told that his grandfather from was never questioned it. Just how long he will king cannot be foretold. The first sign that the farmers’ ¥ (the opposition par(y) may not acquie after all fn the succession of Mi- chael instead of Carol to the throne was evident at memorial in parliament y ay. His Rule Questioned . After Bratiano finished his mem orial specch emphasizing the nec: sity of the child’s succession, Julius Maniu, president of the farmers’ party, rose. It had been und stood that the opposition party remain Iwould support Michacl and the re- gents. But as the crowded hall and galleries sat spellbound, Maniu nounced that the farmer party ‘was contesting the regency's le- gality. Although a bill an- parliament had passed establishing the regency, he added, the farmers nized it only as an accomplished act and demagded a speedy return to normal legal conditions, especial- ly general elections under complete freedom.

(—A reaction to- wards the regime of the empire seems to have come’over Paris— that is, in the trend of styles in recreation and in clothes. Paris society is reviving | cotillions of the past century. These dances may be responsible | for the revival of the 1830 dresses with ately the decorated. Young women have shown preference for the | quaint, full skirted dresses. the most part, the gowns are made of taffeta but much chiffon velvet and some lace also is used. One of the robes de style, ed by the house of Lenief, bright red poppies appliqued on a tight bodice and full scalloped | skirt of white taffeta. In towards ‘“old-fashioned” costumes, ‘(he tulle cape with elaborate pat- terns worked in narrow Valencian- | nes lace has been designed. These | capes hang down well to the hem | of the dress in back and b cover the elhows at the sides Some are cut with a long point in back and fasten with ribbons in a fichu front. Reboux's contribution to the swing towards the styles of the empire days is a collection of hats with lace ruffled brims, a frill of lace he! rewed just under the | edge cf the hat, which is small and frames the face. These styles may be influencing the mode of hairdressing, for in Paris today the boyish bob is al- most as far behind the style as the old fashioned pompadours of our mothers' girlhoods. of the Connecticut com- | bouffant skirts often elabor- | For i lauch- | has | harmony with the tendency | rely | Feminine line has triumphed and all those who wield the scissors, dressmakers and coiffeurs alike, are cutting with new ideals of lines that are softening and Wwo- manly. Little curls that lie close to the ears and the forchead, or nestle at the nape of the neck are advocated by Paris haimdressers as an anti- dote for the slcek, mannish hair- cut of last winter. For those who cannot go so far as curls there are soft waves and mild frizles. NEW N. E. D.
