AGITAT0Rs TO SECURE A
SEPARATE PEACE.
THE PLOT IS REVEALED.
Revelation OF the Plot Stirred the

WASHINGTON. June 27.-That
King Leopold of Bavaria. command
ine German forces, has eonspired
with the Russian agitator, Lenin,
toward getting general peace with
ont annexation or contribution was
the deduction from a state depart
ment message received here today.
The message said Lenin had spoken
before the workmen and soldiers

general peace.
NJ. vierensky Their spoke to the
congress and he repeated Lenin's
speech. Reading from manuscript
he practically duplicated The agita-
TORS ~utterances, w%hereupon he an
nouneed that the document was in
reality an intercepted wireless sign
ed by the king of Bavaria.
The conclusion is that Lenin re-
cejyed the message and delivered II
his speech. yierensky's reveal
ton stirred the congress. The ex-
soldiers had planned an anti-goVefll-
ment demonstration for June % but
abandoned it after the government

 New York. July B. Black lace gowns
 rise and fall as did the Roman empire
 Why they do not continually remain in fashion, when they have the unfailins appreciation of the masses, is a puzzle that none but the dressmakers can an- swer.
 To those who have reasonable minds, it would seem a sensible proposition for the dressmakers to keep frocks of black 1 and white lace in stock at all seasons of
 the year Certainly, there would be a | constant demand for them. Taffeta, for
 example is not nearly so beloved as lace,
 and yet it remains in stock of all dress
 makers and shops, along with it's sister,
 serge.
 Satin comes and goes Chiffon is stand ardized. But the usage of lace is inter-
 mittent There will be five or six years at a time when lace will not be in exist ence, if one judges by fashionable frocks. 1 Ribbon, metal cloth, flowers and chiffon will make up the ornamentation of a
 satin or taffeta gown, but the idea of putting a bit of lace here and there to soften the effect rarely occurs to the l modern dressnaker.
 
 | Her symbol and trademark is that bit of soft muslin or chiffon with lace and ribbon, that makes the foundation of whatever gown she creates. The house of Callot can be relied upon to use lace when no other house in the world will touch it. The reason is that Madame Gerber, one of the Callot sisters, likes lace. She believes in it. She can well arrange it into those world-famed folds and draperies that swing from shoulder to floor. No matter what else Callot may exploit in difficult season. no matter how opulent her fabrics. there is always black lace and white lace used somewhere, somehow.
 In more economical days on this conti- nent the well dressed woman considered herself admirably fitted out for social occasions If she had in hen wardrobe gown of black lace Often she had two bodices to go with one skirt, and dash of color gave distinction.
 Then that idea worked itself out as the decades brought more extravagant and variegated clothes. It Is a bit of psychol- ogy that. with the coming of the war, comes the fashionable frock of black or white lace? It may be so. DRAFTED OVER COLORS The young girl will wear lace frocks this summer, as we'll as her mother and grandmother. There is nothing startlinn about the fact that youth and age share the same fashions. Since grandmothers wore high boots extra short skirts and sailor hats, we have ceased to differenti- ate fashions according to the age of the wearer. The dressmakers throw the whole thing into one pot and each woman gets out what she wants.
 The sketch shows a dance frock for young girl, which is made of cream col ored point de Flanders draped over nale green crepe de chine. The panel in front Of the skirt is made of alternating bands of lace and ribbon The latter is in a slightly deeper shade of green than the skirt, and it matches the long streamers which begin between the shoulders and drop we'll below the edge of the skirt. Around the waist is a chalice ruff the kind of girdle that Callot invented nearly a decade ago and which has risen and fallen in its success ever since. Rising

The word hula means 'wiggle'- Hula nur1l-i-mi, and has a bit of history at- tached to it. The Hawaiians got it from the Fiji Islanders; although by cir cuitous route, the Hawaiians getting it directly from the Samoans, the Samoans from the Maui-poi (New Zealanders), and they from the Igirottis Qsle of Luzan), and they from the Fiji Islanders
 "The utmost grace is required to do the Hawaiian dances Miss Graham said, 'and the the wiggly dances. with the Houchi- couchi effect no more interpret the real hula-hul than they interpret the real Hindu dances which Ruth St. Dennis has made so wonderful or the Greek dances which Isadora Duncan has interpreted Anybody who could pur- chase grass skirt and an effective head gear in the last few months has gone on the stage and danced the Hawaiian lances!"

Hawaiian Dancer Declares That the Dances of Her Native Country Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
 and She Is fnterpreting Them As They Really Are

1 grass was cut and dried in my own yard
 and when it was ready for use, it was
 fashioned into the costume which I wear
 for the dance.
 Tt is just a repetition of the old say
 ing Miss Graham continued "that to

 did the most daring dances and thought
 they were perfectly good; they didn t dream that in the movements there was any suggestion of anything that was il the least out of the way; that was their idea; their songs were the same way; even now the native songs when inter preted are shocking, because the words popular songs purporting to be origni- nally Hawaiian are anythinp but what
 they claim; a few are real; there's 'Alo- ha-oe' Farewell to Thee) and the Honi- ka-wiki- wiki Come and Kiss Me Quick) are original. So many people have thought that on account of the way my act is billed The Nude Truth Girl, that it Is daring and indeed I played very prosperous and well-known Texas town which refused almost to accept it. The manager of the theatre was almost un- civil and I really came very near can- ceiling my contract. but I decided to show them just what I was doing and after [ne HfSt peFIoTEldnce the women $ clubs of the town came in body to see my act and wrote me the most wonderful letter of appreciation, thanking me for the interpretation I had given of the Cahuna dance Cthe snake dance). It made me very happy because I couldn't mis- interpret the dances of my own country if I tried to; it doesn't appeal to me when I've seen them danced so beautiful ly and so gracefully, and besides it is time for the American people to put the Hawaiian dance in it's proper place as a fine art and not relegate it to the place of mere surface accomplishment and friv- olous entertainment"
