suit of the speeding up of settlements

Russ Have Not Yet Been
Put to Severe Strain
L. Astocinted Press

London, July 20. Telegraphing
from Petrograd the Morning Post cor
respondent says:
There is a marked difference in the
manner in which the Russians are
dealing with the attacks on the north
ern and southern fronts. The latter
is the scene of hard fighting, inch by
inch, and the Germans have made no
general progress here but are making
prolonged pauses over the greater pro-
portion of their front in order to de-
tach reinforcements for the purpose
of bringing into line the back Sec
tions.
They are also fighting in tropical
heat which makes even existence bur-
densome. The Russians have not yet
been put to any severe strain and
deal with the German attacks faithful
" wherever they are delivered.

mentS in the direction of the Polish

announcements do not dispute Petro-

Going into details, the latest Russian
report recites the favorable outcome to
advance guard engagements near
Mitau, in Courland, Russia, and says
the Germans are continuing their
efforts to cross the Narew river at a
point near Noygorod, north of War

Narew from Ostrolanka to the river
Prut has seen spirited fighting, but re-
mains unchanged, and to the right of
the Narew German attacks have been
repulsed.
1900 GERMANS CAPTURED
Between the Vieprz and the Bug

Smpts to advance, but were driven

Office, and little farther to the south.
at Sokal, the Russians declare they
have begun successful offensive
movement. Desperate fighting Is still
going on at this point.
The French official statement of to-

skirt Is gored and flares at the sides.
1t is untrimmed and fastened to the
waist with O. four-inch belt.
Another frock developed in biege.
colored gabardine, a fabric which
holds strong place next to covert
cloth am using for my illustration.
The waist is made becomingly sur
plice with long close-fitting sleeves.
The skirt is the popular short length
and very full. There is no belt, as
the waist is worn oyer the skirt and
finished like the old-fashioned short
basque at the normal waist line. A
cunning little hat which reminded one
a little of Scotch cap was worn with
this dress. 1t was of the same color
as the dress and trimmed with band
of grosgrain ribbon which ended in
streamers in the back. A veil was
worn over the hat, coming down we'll
below the chin and allowed to float
away from the face.
Another material which Is used for
this type of frock to wear beneath q
topcoat, for street or outdoor wear is
serge. The finer weave of serge is
best for a frock, as it is usually lighter
of weight and more supple than the
heavier twilled qualities. Navy blue
is the most popular color in this fab
ric at the present time and is often
trimmed with black satin bands and
satin-covered buttons.
It may be an afternoon dress that
this suppositious lady needs, gown
of frillier possibilities for dressy &C.
casions-to wear to a reception, to an
afternoon bridge party, to an informal
dinner and other similar occasions. A
dress which would fit charmingly into
any of these places is one of the Cal
lot sisters latest creations. The skirt
is of midnight blue chiffon velvet. The
front of the skirt is made with tunic
reaching only to back panel which
extends from neck to the edge of
skirt. Where this panel and the tunic
meet, however, is not clearly defined,
for the fullness is so arranged that
it is hidden beneath fold. The lower
skirt, in one with the panel is about
two yards in width. The fronts and
sleeves of the bodice are of blue chif-
fon over gold, while the back of the
waist is the chiffon velvet and Is cut
with narrow belt-like extensions which
meet in front directly over the waist
line.
Another frock which would be
serviceable for the above mentioned
occasions is made of black charmeuse.
The waist of this dress is long and
loose-fitting, similar to a jumper with
guimpe of brown chiffon, and band
of fur around the neck and the cuffs
of the long sleeves. The skirt was
long and full, faced up on the right
side with the satin, giving the appear
ance of hem on the right side instead
of the wrong. At the top Of this hem
or facing was cording.
Probably the most difficult age to
dress a girl is when she is between the
ages of twelve to fourteen and some
times sixteen. So is too young for
misses clothes and too large for the
girls, and to reach the happy medium
requires some thought and ingenuity
on the part of the mother.
In the accompanying illustration is
a dress which is particularly well
