-ENGLISH VICAR
THE Vicar of Kingston, the Rev. T. B. Scrutton, who recently gave his opinion that it was not wrong for a woman to go hatless to church, now gives in his parish magazine his views on the wearing of mourning.
He says that neither the Christian religion nor respect for the dead demand that it is necessary to spend money on a new outfit of black clothes because a relative has died.
"There is," he says, "no more a reason for us to show respect to a person after death than before. If people will not credit us with right feelings unless we wear black, we may ignore their opinion.
"The custom of wearing black for mourning" has no other origin than primitive and superstitious Ideas. It hears hardly on poor people.
"Anyone who ignores it does a real Christian service, anyone who insists on others conforming to it imposes a heathen tyranny, and is untrue to Christ.” Mr. Scrution adds that he is not saying that it is wrong to wear black after a death or at any other time.

ELAINE BARRIE: "JOHN
STILL LOVES 'ME” MISS Elaine Barrie, the 20-year-old New York girl whose romance with Mr. John Barry more, the film star, led to a quarrel and estrangement, has hopes of her dream of love coming true.
The film star's friends are predicting that when his divorce from Dolores Costello ly, made absolute next September he will marry Elaine.
When her Boston theatrical en-
gagement was over, the girl and her mother recently headed straight for Hollywood and Mr. Barrymore.
