II ONDON, December 6--(As-
II sociated Press) - The ex-
pressed desire OF the spokesman
for the provisional government Of
Russia that her former allies
might be spared some part of the
consequences of the Russian de-
lection from the Entente and that
one condition of the armistice be-
tween Russia and Germany be
that no German forces from the
east front be despatched for SER
vice on the west front has been
fatty refused by Germany. An
other Of the Russian peace terms,
the evacuation by the Germans of
the islands in Moon Sound, has
likewise been refused considera-
ton, by the Germans.
TWO ISSUES EvADED
"A Russian communication deal
ing with the negotiations for an
armistice now under way be-
tween the Huns and Slavs, 1.-THE
text of which has been received
here, says that the enemy nego-
tiators replied eyasiyely to the
two initial peace proposals from
Petrograd, but promised to refer
the proposals to Berlin for re
ply. The reply is denial Of the
proposals. .....
REFUSAL is FLAT
The Russians advanced as the
principal points Of the armistice
that during the negotiations the
armies along the Russian front
should remain as they were, with
Germany withdrawing no forces
for use elsewhere in the war zone.
and that the sovereignty of the
islands guarding the Gulf of Riga
be restored to Russia. Berlin,
when the questions had, been re-
ferred to it, declined to consider
either point. "
The German proposal was sim

entered into along the line from

DIARY OF A WELL-DRESSED GIRL
An Economical Sport Suit

AFTER paying long and exhaustive
n visit to the shops the other day, Beth
Spaulding and ! came home thoroughly dis
gusted at the high prices asked for feminine
wearables. We intended TO buy sport suits,
but the kind we wanted we're far beyond the
amount We had counted upon paying.
But woman-like, we couldn't forget how
perfectly stunning had looked In the
suits Of jersey cloth khaki koo and pongee
Beth was captivated by very good-lookihg
model Of Dutch blue silk jersey trimmed
with blue and white in checkerboard de-
sign. The skirt of plain blue was cut CIR
cular with an oddly shaped yoke Patch
pockets with tops of the checkerboard mate
rial trimmed the front
The jacket was quite full and had excep-
tonally good lines. A belt of the checker
board jersey confined the fullness at the
waistlne. and the large sailor collar and
wide turned hack cuffs are bordered with
the blue and white material.
! had found a suit consisting Of a silk
sweater coat and skirt Of khaki kool, more
to my liking The sweater was "A delicate
peachblow pink with trimmings of apple
green, The plated skirt was of the khaki
kool in slightly darker tone of apple
green.
! actually dreamed about this sport suit,
and knew that Id never be satisfied with
anything that wasn't equally as smart
Beth felt the same way. I was sure that
! could duplicate the one she liked, but
mine was not such easy problem to
solve. ] could buy khaki kool and make the
skirt, but the silk sweater was the
stumbling block.
Then I happened to read tho "ad' of a
speciality shop that was going out of busi-
ness. Listed among the different things to
be on sale were silk sweaters" lost no
time in getting to the shop. and found three
lovely sweaters, but none of them was pink
and appegreen. But there was "A beauty
of the paleSt tone of tan trimmed with tan
and bright green, plaid. ] slipped il on, and
finding that it fitted perfectly and was be-
coming, bought il.
The sweater is woven with "A sailor col
lar cuffs and a border down each side of
the front of the plaid The patch pockets
have plaid tops and the sash belt of plaid
has green tassels at the ends. II is as
effective as the pink and green sweater and
far more practical.
| found no trouble in matching the
sweater with tan khaki kool, and in two
days had the box-paited skirt finished.
