A special supplement- has been made

GEN. BRUSSILOFF
SOCIAL FIGURE
IN RUSSIAN LIFE

PETROGRAD, July 30. = General
Alexis Brussiloff, commander of the
Russian army which swept through
Bukowina, was little known outside
CT Russia befor3 tie present war In
fact, it was net until 1914 that he
was given command of an army corps.
His work in the war won him promo
tons. He is almost the only one OF
The many prominent social figures in
the army who has made good.
General Brussiloff is GO years old
but locks more like As. lie is alert
and modern. He has dark. steady,
searching eyes and nose with high,
commanding curved bridge, and a
square jaw. His hair is close cropped;
he wears long thin gray moustach.
1t was General Brussilod who COM
manded an army in the first Carpa-
THAN campaign when the Russians
were ready to pour. down into Hun
gary but were forced to retreat for
lack of ammunition. Unlike many
Russian generals, Brussiloff had the
advantages of an excellent education
and began army life in a fashionable
cavalry regiment, Ability and infin-
ence combined to make his advance
ment rapid. He held. many positions,
was recognized a fayorite at court.
distinguished himself as daring rid
er, encouraged cavalry officers to go
in for polo and crosscountry steeple-
chases and was popular in Petrograd
society," Then came the, war to try
out the, capacity and characters of
men. Brussiloff was one of the studi-
Gus, professional type of officer who
came to the front and made good.

WITH THE SHOPS 80 full of charming
negligees and with prices so mod
crate, there is no excuse for woman
appearing untidy in her moments OF
leisure.
Large stores in every city in the
country are selling real tandem
broidered kimonos at $50 and 81.
Fancy q price like that for q hand
done kimono! They are made OF cot
ton crepe, very. heavy. in pinks and
rose, lavender and two shades of
blue and embroidered with roses or
wistaria in white cotton. They are
the real Japanese shapes, with the
full. loose sleeve, and they are uni
versally becoming.
A woman could not make a negli.
zee for less than that! And any
woman can afford it. Then, there
are gorgeous affairs up into large
sums of money, which one may ahect
II her purse permits it. The brunette
in the picture looks lovely IN the
deep blue satin mandarin coat which
she wears over q plain circular I'M
derskirt of satin the same shade.
Her cap is furnished gold lace with
a fringe of rose and blue beads. Such
a robe is more expensive, of COURSE
this outfit cost somewhat above $50
but then, Chinese and Japanese
cretonues come as low as thirty-nfne
cents q yard in some shops, and are
in wonderful colorings and designs.
From these one could make q man
DARN coat, loose and pretty, and
wear under 1t q satin skirt. also
short and full, in a shade to haT-
monize with the cr6tonne. Three
yards Of cretonne would do 1t, and
two yards of satin-the total cost be-
ing less than IS.
A negligee suggestion made In this
column some time back was to use
the Pierette dress both >as negltgee
and fancy costume. Two girls wrote
me they had followed this idea and
we're quito pleased with It. \.~........
