London, May 22.-The Petrograd
correspondent Of the Daily Express
says that a series Of important nego-
tiations is impending between Russia
and her allies on the question of a
revision of war aims as outlined In the
replies Of the allies to President Will
son. Foreign Minister Terestchenko
discussed the matter with the allied
ambassadors on Saturday.
The correspondent says that Rus
sia in her negotiations will try to de-
fine precisely her desire for peace
without annexation Of indemnity and
will make clear that the Russian
workers. while not desiring separate
peace, cannot support the allies ir
their present war program. A revi-
sion Of the treaties between the allies
and Russia will be requested, and il
is believed that the allies will call g
conference to consider the whole
question Of Russia's future in the war
Political circles in sympathy with
former Foreign Minister Milukof and
former Minister of War Guchkoff view
the negotiations with considerable
alarm. The Petrograd correspondent
of the Daily News writes in the same
vein and believes that the coalition
government will stand or fall accord
ing to the position that the allies take
in the pending negotiations. He says
Minister of War Kerenslky is making
great effort to restore discipline in the
army and that his task will be Lght'
ered If a clearly expressed agreement
is reached between Russia and the
other members Of the Entente.

Corsets Aid the Graceful Contour.
Who ever heard of filet lace corsets?
Well, if one can afford it, there are
corsets of every kind. 1t may surprise
you to pay little more for your cor
set than you have been accustomed,
but the increasing cost of steel and
cotton has raised tile prices a little.
There is a distinct type of corset for
every. need. Corsets are short in the
bust line, straight back and front with
q nipped-in curve al the side fronts,
the skirts are a triflc longer but often
of even length. Flexibility is the key
note of the new coraetry. for the ma
tural curve is the edct of those who
know For the slender woman or
miss who requires a low bust type
there are corsets with elastic banding
at the top.
Brassieres are here to stay-they are
considered as important a Tart of a

brassiere finishes what the corset at

The enchanted princess never
dreamt of anything half so dainty as
the array of lingerie, distinguished not
only for its beauty of design but also
for the excellent quality of its ma
terials which greet our eye this spring
time. In former days, rarely could one
find comparatively inexpensive femin-
Inc intimate apparel, combined with
fine workmanship and exquisite ma
terial, and thus one paid an exhorbit-
ant price-far more than one needs pay
now for hand stitched and embroid-
cred garments in the snowy under
world of lingerie.
The garments made and embroidered
in the Philippine Islands are extra
ordinary line; the less expensive can
be detected from the more costly only
in the quality of the materials or in
the amount of establishment used.

of'fastidious women, but white will not
be ousted from her affections. Orchid
is one of the new colors to which the
deft-fingered French women have con-
tributed their handwork. Many of the
garments are embroidered in pastel
shades. Equally dainty are the Oriental
designs embroidered in delicate colors

quently the work is done in a contrast

inclined to wear but like to hear about.
Empire style chemises hold first place
and all those either imported or do
nestle, are very short, with shoulder
straps of ribbon or tulle. An artful
combination of petticoat, drawers and
chemise befrills itself with Valen-
ciennes and is certainly versatile, for
you would not think of it's being any
thing more than a petticoat; not so,
however; the deep panel down the
front conceals the bifurcated garment.
