IT'S farewell TO OLGA NOW
No Longer Will the Beautiful Nihilist
Grip Readers of Russian Novels.
and Short Stories.

Czarism having vanished from the
Russian scheme, we are preparing to
take leave of several friends long en-
deared to us by many a novel and
short story. We shall miss Olga, the
beautiful nihilist, very much, declares
the London Globe. She had so many
tones Of voices, but her chief tones
were either dangerous or tense.
The former was used when she was
striving to fascinate the tall young
Englishman from the embassy in Pc
trograd; the latter when Olga was
getting on with her life work Of blow
ing up disagreeable governors with
bombs.
We generally noticed it was Olga
who was selected to project the disin-
tegrating missile into the bad COVER
nor's sleigh. Her men friends simply sat
around and egged her on, and alluded
to her in admiring tones as the
Daughter Of freedom" Tor of the
Revolution" or something). We also
noticed another thing about Olga, and
that was, that If she was not named
Olga she was called Vera. Or vice
versa.
But, Olga or Vera, we shall miss her
very much, with her eyes clark as
night" We never knew how much
we liked her till we read real Rus
sian novel and found nobody in 1t re-
sembling her at all.

ties in the remodeling Of gowns by
combining materials that the amateur
is apt to try little original designing.
But safety lies In copying the models
In afternoon frocks turned out by ex-
pert designers, when gowns are to be
remodeled.
Everything else In neckwear Is
more or less eclipsed by the vogue OF
the jabot which amounts, just now, to
q furore. Snowy heaps OF net and lace,
fashioned into every variety Of jabot,
happen in all parts Of the dry goods
stores. and each is a center Of attrac-
ton for a crowd Of absorbingly inter-
ested women, otherwise the regular
neckwear section would be overwhelm-
ed. It doesn't take any craftsmanship
to sell jabots, they sell themselves, and
all the merchant has to do is to take
the money-apd keep up the supply.
This pretty madness on the part of
women promises to outlast the sum-
mer and the jabot is so altogether clas-
sy and pretty that it should have
long popularity. With this in mind
we can be reconciled to the rather ex-
travagant prices that are asked for

COURT D00MS NOISY BIRDS
JUDGE in Pennsylvania Clears Man
Who Killed Them Despite the
Game Laws.

into trees in which blackbirds fiocked

Kidding the community had been tried
and failed.

A special dispensation from the god
dess of fashion, in the interest of thrift
ty women, lies in the present vogue for
two or more fabrics in one gown. In
oil the array of pretty frocks for after
noon wear-Or any other dressy wear,
for that matter-there are hardly any
that are fashioned of just one mate
rial. If the mission of gown is full
filled by merely looking well, it is made
Of two or more materials, or Of two
patterns in one material.
Thrift is mark Of good breeding
in these times. Now, when the re-
sources Of this country are about to be
put to the test, women must be willing
to do with less SO that others, who
need, may have more.
But it is no great hardship to do
without new frock if an old one can
be remodeled into thing of beauty.
The gown shown in the picture offers
a good suggestion for remodeling be-
cause the Overbodice and sleeves are
made of georgette crepe, and worn
with silk skirt and underbodice. This
overbodicc bears all the evidences Of
being strictly up-to-date with it's wide
tucks, long sleeves and its big cape
collar of white crepe. A small triangle
Of white crepe is set in the sleeves at
the wrist.
A new bodice of this kind simply eff
faces the memory Of the dress it used
to be and makes this into dress Of
today. A new finishing touch appears
in the neck ribbon and tassel which
add the final charm to a frock that
can't help proving satisfaction to its
wearer. There are so many possibili-

FARMERS ARE WORKING HARDER

And using their feet more than ever before
For all these workers the frequent use Of
Aliens Foot-Ease, the antiseptic powder to
be shaken into the shoes and sprinkled in the
foot-bath, increases their efficiency and in
sures needed physical comfort. 1t takes the
Friction from the Shoe, freshens the feet,
and prevents tired, aching and blistered feet.

The Successful Combination.

Because figured fabrics are to be so
much In fashion, it is wise that every
woman should remember that the plain
material is the essential foundation on
which figures should rest. A garment
of any kind which is nothing but a
splash of twists and lines and curves
is a very poor garment indeed. Every
woman should take it to heart that
figured fabrics are meant for COM
bination with plain fabrics, and that
in the skillful combination lies the Sue
cess of her costume

the best sellers, but novelty cottons in
printed designs suggestive Of the pop
ular silks are in fair demand, as also
are cottons in polka-dot patterns and
in dainty stripes, plaids and checks.
Combinations of fancy and plain ma
terials appear in some of the novelty
skirts, the plain fabric being used for
bands, belts or pockets or vice versa.
There has been q fair demand for
washable satin skirts, as well as for
street skirts in novelty taffeta In dark
colors.

Cut Passenger Service.
One of the first changes necessary
for American railroads to make, ac-
cording to men who have given most Of
their thought to the situation since our
trouble with Germany threatened, is
the curtailing of the passenger serv-
ice. Probably no other means avail
able, says one authority, can be used
more effectively to conserve the re-
sources of the railways of the United
States.
The committee issued an order few
days ago which said in effect: I'm all
cases keep freight cars moving and set
tie differences of opinion afterward."
This was the first important step of
the railroads in carrying out their
pledge of April IL that during the war
with Germany they would coordinate
their operations in continental rail-
way system in the effort to produce
maximum of national transportation
efficiency.
Already the roads are operating as
a unit in the interest of national de-
Tense, and the detailed Recommended
lions Of the board, worked out after
exhaustive conference, from the pro-
gram by which the administration ex-
poets to bring to a basis Of war eff
ficiency every portion Of the $4,000
miles of railways which make up the
greatest national transportation sys-
tenn in the world.
