Easter in the Kremlin but to a fear
that his personal safety would be

is in strict taiIormade simplicity and

waists range all the way from the plain
est to the most fanciful. Shown here
is a simple one of India lawn with a
tucked yoke. When such waists are
tucked and elaborated with stitching
and insertion they are made after the
pattern of silk waists, and are used
for the same occasions. A waist of white
stitched taffeta for general half wear"
will be very useful. A dip into gasoline
makes it as good as new, and it is al
ways dainty and fresh looking under
the jacket of a tailor gown.

How do you suppose that shirt waist
which apps away down In front is
made? You may guess that the skirt
cannot be cut so low in front, and it
isn't. The waist is made to finish in
front with a drawing string, and this
draw-string edge comes over the outside
of the skirt, being fastened down by a
pin. That this pin is likely to injure the
top Of the skirt is one of the grievances
of the season, The belt follows the line
of the edge, and at the sides the waist
lengthens so that is edge may slip un-
der the dress as usual, because only
when so secured is it really safe not to

General Baron Krieghammer, Aus
trian Minister of War, made the fol-
lowing interesting statement on duel
ling in the army at sitting of the del
egation: ST do not think that any one
will demand that we shall abolish duel
ling in the army. We cannot put an
end to a custom by decree. When 9TH
er classes of the community have come
to the conclusion that duelling is i'm
moral, doubtless it will cease in the
army. 1t is quite comprehensive that
officers feel the need of duelling. There
are situations in which a duel is the
only means of proving that a man is
not deficient in personal courage, and
want of personal courage can never be
tolerated in the army"
