Managers of the Russian symphony

the city on Friday. held conference
at the Westcott hotel Friday after
noon with the object in view of con.
solidating the two famous organiza.
tions. No agreement was reached at
this meeting, although it is probable
that the two companies will be merg-
ed later this season or next season
The consolidation would be beneficial
to both companies. the managers be-
lieve, placing the consolidated com
pany as one of the leading musical
and dancing organizations of the coun
try.
Mile de Swirsky. a member of the
Russian nobility, is. by the way, the
first woman of noble blood to have
appeared before the Richmond public
Her program included several Russian
and Grecian dances, all the numbers
being executed with the grace which
has earned her the reputation of be-
ing one Of the leading. ballet dancers
of the world Although her eXecu
tion is not equal to that of Anna
Pavlova, the Russian dancer who ap.
peared here earlier in the season. and
who has been ordered back to Russia
to testify. in graft cases, it was classi-
cal exhibition. Not an over abundance
of clothing was worn by the dancer in
some of the numbers, but this did moi
seem to disturb or shock her audience
Perhaps the best two numbers were
those in native costume. An orchestra
of eight pieces with piano furnished
music. The entertainment was rather
abrupt, the performance being over
shortly after 10 O'Clock.

Skirts Continue Narrow.

The skirts are. in the main. narrow.
A few models show slightly draped eff
fects, and there are some models in
which plaits have been introduced. But
on the whole, the idea Of narrow skirt
has been maintained.
The tailored suits are often in the
really mannish styles. And mannish
cloths are also used. These are in dark
coIors and rough weaves. Double faced
cloths are much used. All effects are
quiet.
An important feature is the preponder-
ance of long sleeves for afternoon
dresses. Practically every Jacket suit has
the full length sleeves. All Of the waists
accompanying the three-pisce suits, as
well as the bodices Of afternoon dresses,
have long sleeves.
Sometimes this lower sleeve has
slight fullness toward the elbow, which
is drawn into a cuff. But there are
no extreme effects in sleeves; no start
ling novelty to revolutionize garment
cutting. The conservative spirit governs.
The desire is to make salable, wearable
dresses, suits, and wraps. From their
contact with so many American buyers
1t has been learned that too extreme and
too advanced ideas are as bad for trade
as anything could possibly be.

FOOT GEAR FOR THE HOUSE

Nowadays foot gear is not the simple
thing it used to be. It has grown in its
complexities along with all the other de-
tails that go tc make up a perfect ward
robe. To be really well-groomed one must
consider the appropriateness of ones
boots with reference to each gown. and
so, too. the boudoir has claims which re-
quire ones attention.
The very name 'boudoir," suggests
daintiness, piquaint feminine intimacies
which may be either sumptuously lavish
or else possess the charm of refined sim
plicity.
Negligees are absolute necessities, and
some Of them in all the glow of SHIN

SCARF
MADE BY HAND

A scarf that the handy woman can
make, yet which costs eXtravagantly to
buy. is made of chiffon in a solid color,
banded with lengthwise stripes of many
different colors Of soft satin ribbon about
an inch wide and the same distance
apart.
The chiffon is then yelled with black
silk net, showered closely with jet. silver,
gold, or steel beads in the tiniest sizes.
The two fabrics are bound together by
a twO-inch banding of satin ribbon in
black or a deeper tone of the chiffon
The shimmering effect of the yelled
colorings is beautiful and an artistic
color sense may make most original
combinations of coloring.
One fascinating scarf of pale rose
chiffon was striped with white, baby
blue, violet, pale green, maize. cerise,
and several tones of rose. The black net
was studded in tiny silver beads and the
binding wGs a four-inch ribbon of silver
gauze, with a floral design running
through 1t in dull shades Of rose.
An added touch to be worn with such
a scarf in the evening is a bandeaux
made in the same way, the coloring
matching.
