Simon Wolf, former consul general to
Egypt, for fifty-two years a resident
of Washington and closely identified
with it's interests, and for many years
a leader in Jewish activity all over the
United States. looks forward to the
possibility of the Jew in Russia being
greatly benefited when the end of the
war in Europe comes.
Mr.. Wolf is inclined to doubt the like
1hood of the Russian government full
filling the promises which are alleged
to have been made by it with respect
to the autonomy of Poland and equal
rights for Jews in Russia, according to
opinions be expressed today to a re-
porter for The Star. For one thing. he
is not certain that such promise has
actually been made by the Russian
government. he says, and for another.
The autocratic supremacy of the gov
erning classes of Russia. he eN
presses it. may stand in the way of the
fulfillment of such promise even if it
has been officially made.

MODES OF THE HOUR
Fashion NorO DEGREES the Fashionable Wedding Gown
Shall Contain Only a Small Quantity of White Satin

For the wedding gowns of the presen
era surprisingly small quantity of
white satin is requisitioned. White satin
wedding gowns they are still called. but.
with the shortened skirts, the curtailed
train and the introduction of much lace
and chiffon and tulle, the title is some
thing of a misnomer.
Flowers are feature of the trimming,
orange blossoms or rosebuds by prefer
ence. The waist is often flower encir-
cled, as in the gown sketched today. The
train may be dotted with small bouquets;
the slippers must certainly carry a spray
of flowers, while they are still used in
profusion in their time-honored place on
the wedding veil.
For evening weddings the neck cut
decidedly low is stil in fashion, while a
V or a round or a square-cut neck is
chosen for the morning or afternoon
wedding.
The sleeves of the season are long, how
ever and they are made not of the
satin as a rule but of chiffon or tulle.
With these long sleeves no gloves are
worn. which makes the slipping on of the
ring q very simple matter.
For the bride who has no lace wedding
veil in the family, and for whom the
cost would prohibit the purchase of one.
the tulle veil can be made wonderfully
effective and becoming. 1t is practically
head-dress, nowadays, with flowing
ends that reach to the floor.
The wedding gown pictured today is
simple in construction, although 1t COM

BY divine right all hostesses are grace
full" and yet there are a number OF
table implements or table devices which
can assist even the most graceful hostess
to preside over the table in a more
charming way. An oversupply Of silver
is not good taste, and It is not necessary
to have a special kind of server for each
different kind of food. But even some OF
the simplest pieces do not flnd place
in many homes, such, for instance, as
the familiar pie server" the narrow,
trowel-iike knife so frequently n bridal
gift This combines the cutting edge of
a knife on both edges, at the same
time offering a fiat, "shovel-lite' surface
TO lift UP portions of cake, pie, firm des-
serts like gelatine and slices of cold
meat. 1t permits far more graceful serv-
ing of these foods than does the ordinary
knife or fork and may we'll be included
in even the most modest list of table
equipment
Again there is the large serving spoon
and fork, which is seen sometimes In
wood, sometimes In silver. The bowl of
the spoon is particularly deep and ladle-
shaped, the tines Of the fork are large
and wide apart. Such a set permits the
most graceful serving of salad, small
fruits, berries and such vegetables as
have both a firm portion and gravy
which must be dlshed. The bowl of the
ordinary spoon Is too fat; the tines of
the ordinary fork too close together.
These defects are remedied in the serving
set described, which has a use at almost
every meal

bines both lace flouncing and chiffon with
the satin.
The drop skirt. which is of a piece with
the narrow train, is made of the white
satin, n satin very soft, be 1t noted, Of
tho charmeuss quality.
The skirt proper is surmounted by a
houncing of deep lace, which in its turn
has ruffled skirt above 1t Of white
chiffon.
A detail here worth comment is the
natural selvedge of the chiffon, which is
used In lieu of hem. The use of selv-
edge in great variety of materials is
permissible now. not only for the prac-
tical reason that materials fall into more
graceful folds when they are unhemmed
but because 1t is also considered orna-
mental.
The bodice is made OF chiffon and the
long sleeves likewise. There is a short
cape Of chiffon, which retains the selv-
edge and falls in fine plaits from the
shoulders.
A Medici collar of the lace, high at the
back and daring in front. is set in the
gown In a very pleasing way, somewhat
after the fashion OF a guimpe or yoke.
The lace Is used as a feature of the
lower part of the bodice. and 1t is draped
about the waist so as to produce the ap-
pearance of a high girdle.
The crowning touch of beauty is given
by the wreath of rosebuds placed at the
lower edge of the girdle.
1t is a gown that could be easily con-
verted to dance frock by cutting off the
train and making the decolletage more
pronounced.

FOR THE GRACEFUL HOSTESS
By MRS. CHRISTINE FREDERICK
Author The New Housekeeping.

turer. who oonfided to me brilliant new
idea on which he was working. the
idea was simply a large serving spoon
with O knife-like cutting edge or spoon
and knife combined. In cutting WhVle
head of cauiifower, for instance, the
edge of the spoon is not sharp enough
to cut IL without spelling It's appearanCse.
But II the edge were sharp Ike kmIe
with one stroke we could cut the food
and at the Same time lift UP portion
for serving.
The reason women feel that cooking
is sometimes drudgery and that they DO
not want to be seen doing It Is due not
to the task itself but in the way ana
place in which they do It Standing
over a hot fire watching saucepan OF
cooking food does not let a woman pre-
sent as attractive an appearance as IL
she were seated at the table cooking
the food in a chafng dish or other de-
vice operated directly at the table itself.
Perhaps unconsclously this is the reason
why American homemakers are taking
so cordially to preparing 30 many articles
of food at the table direct. We have
even a table waffle-iron, many kinds OK
grids, the persistent percolator, the
omnipresent toaster and other variations
of the "cook as you eat devices. Espe-
cially where a woman does her own work,
every device that assists her In serving
meals smoothly without rising commends
itself to her. There can be no pleasure
in a meal where one or more members
at the table are constantly rising. The
table cooking device solves the servant
problem In part by permitting the hostess
to cook the meal herself and at the
same time lend her personality uninter-
ruptedly to her family or guests.

IT don't know why they are so indif-
! terent. Connie is pretty, and Dick is a
handsome, clever boy oh, well, there's

And Aunt Amy said her nerves wers

The doctor came often now, and Connie

She had always been SO cool and ndif-
ferent to them that each felt himself es-
pecially favored now, and It began to be
question how many offers Connie would
! have and which she would accept.
Dick looked on in disgust and talked It
over with Bessie who wondered in her
quiet way what had come over her friend.
The month was nearly out Dick was
hobbling about now. Connie had gone to
gather roses in the garden, and It hap
pened that Dick was there.

"Oh, certainly; I might have known.
OF course, Bessie must have them"
"I suppose you wanted them for Tom

red.

Think so?" she said quietly.

''Yes; do. How many of these simple
tons have made fools of themselves to
you?"
She answered quietly:
You're the only one that hasn't been

''Fiddlesticks! How much do you care

Dicks ankle hurt and he sank down on
Aunt Amy's violet border.
IT think Bessie cares enough; 1 needn't

white roses-and I wanted them for my
self, for the little dark blue vase you
gave me; ana now
There was sound of tears in her voice.
Dicks heart softened. He caught her
hands and pulled her down beside him.
'Tll get you some more, Connie; I will,
indeed. I'm sorry I gave them to Bessie"
mo, you are not sorry; you care so
much for Bessie" she began.
II don't. Connie, not as you care for

'I don't care a bit about him"
"Then who is It? Connie, why don't

Connie looked up archly.
