Paris Depending on Russia For the Fall
Output.
The precious furs from nearly all
over the world always went to France
and found their way back to the lands
that had produced them Whether or
not Paris can take care Of this trade
this summer remains to be seen She
has handled the clothes question with
all her old time skill and not left the
rest Of the world In doubt concerning
the silhouette or materials to be adopt
ed, although she win not attempt TO
produce her usual immense personal
trade for the women who have always
gone to her for their clothes. This
work she leaves practically to America.
the only country except the Argentine
where fashionable clothing r. sought
and bought. It may be that America
VIII supply the Argentine, and It Is ru-
mored that several Of its buyers are
coming to New York to buy French
models or their copies.
The nonfreedom OF the seas has kept
the great bulk Of American travellers
away from France. and there Is no rea-
son to doubt, therefore, that the wO-
men will buy all their clothes, includ-
ing furs, from the American merchants
who have Representatives now In
France going their usual two a day
rounds OF the dressmaking houses.
CaIlot and Cheruit, the two houses
that always have a significant influence
ON American fashion, are not yet open.
The latter house always defers its
openings until the others have finished
their business, although some Of the
buyers do not wait for the event It Is
quite safe to assert, however, that
when this Is the case the buyer who
leaves viii receive all the Cabot mod
els he desires.
So as the huge auction sales in Lon
don are not held this year and the Par
Is openings are not yet over the fur
riers here are uncertain which way the
wind will blow by October, and this
may be the reason that even the most
important fur houses here are selling
fur garments at unusually low prices
It Is a good time for the purchaser who
merely wants fur, but the woman who
fears being saddled with a garment
that Is not In keeping with the fash
ions win go warily about buying peltry
now.

About the Umbrella.

There is a very general belief that
umbrellas were invented and first used
by Jonas Hanway, the celebrated Eng
Hsh philanthropist This Is an error.
Hanway was perhaps the first man
who walked the London streets with
an umbrella over his head to keep on
the rain. and We are told that after
continuing to use one for thirty years
he saw them come into general use"
He died in 1856. 50 that the date when
be introduced them must have been
between 175O and 1760. The earliest
use Of umbrellas, however, dates back
1000 or 5000 years before this. On
one Of the bas-reliefs brought from
NIneveh by Layard and now in the
British museum there Is a representa-
tiOn Of a slave holding an umbrella
over the head OF the king as he rides In
his chariot

craft-BerIin Says Raid Was Re-

Paris, March 22-The first Zeppe
lin raid on Paris was carried out early
Sunday. Four bombs were dropped in
the city and 13 in the suburbs Seven
or eight persons were injured, one Sc
riously. but none fatally. The mate
rial damage was slight.
The raiders were driven off by
French aeroplane patrols and the fire
of antiairship guns. One of the raid
ers appeared to have been hit.
In their retreat the raiders dropped
bombs on Compeigne, Bibecourt and
Dresiincourt Some were explosive
and some of incendiary character. No
damage was suffered at these places.
Probably the most remarkable feature
of the raid was the department of the
population.
Warned of the coming of the Yep
pellns, men and women clad in night
attire f1ocked in gay and jocular pro-
cessions from their sleeping apart
ments to the streets, or in the case
OF the more discreet, to the cellars of
their homes. The discipline of the
citys residents was marvellous. There
was a complete absence of panic.

When the Zeppelins approached

There was a light westerly breeze

1t was the rapid appearance of an

flashing small, but powerful,

ers from attacking the center of the
city, with its historic monuments.
The vast majority of the inhabitants
of the southern section of the capital
slept on undisturbed.
Everywhere the department of the
