Airy fabrics travel in pairs in this years midsummer frocks. Colored voile and swiss organdie, white net colored organdie, net and filmy laces, go hand in hand and refuse to be sep arated United we stand and invite your consideration. In frocks, parasols and hats and no one will resist the combination of frock and parasol to match made of yoile and swiss or gandie.
 In the picture there is the union of white net and fine blue organdie in a beautiful afternoon dress, to bring home this enchanting blending of two transparent fabrics, to our sense of harmony. The plain net skirt is faced up with the organdie in a deep hem, widened at the front and back into two long points.
 There Is a narrow drop of net above the organdie hem and wide band of it-finished with the smallest of hem

RUSSIA TO REFUSE
 SEPARATE PEACE
GOVERNMENT POLICY ANNoUNc- ED BY AMBASSADOR BAkHME-
 TEIFF-IO FIGHT TO END.

Washington.-Rus will fight to the last ditch. There will be no sep arate peace between the new republic and the kaiser Only lasting, uni versal peace, without annexations or contributions, will be recognized by the Russian government.
 These promises were made to the United States and to the other allies of Russia by Boris Bakhmeteiff, ann bassador of the new Russian govern ment, in the first interview he has given since the arrival of the Russian mission in this country
 Ambassador Bakhmeteiff announced this as the policy of his government.
 The provisional government, reject ing in accord with the whole people of Russia all thought of separate peace puts it openly as it's deliberate pur- pose the promptest achievement of universal peace; such people to pre- sume no dominion over other na- tions: no share of their national property or forced usurpation or for eign territory; peace with no annexa- tions or contributions; based upon the free determination by each nation of its destinies.
 "The Russian people thoroughly understand and are fully convinced. said M. Bakhmeteiff, that it is abso- lutely necessary to root out the auto cratic principles which underlie and are represented by German militar- ism. which threatens the peace, the freedom and the happiness of the worldo
 Alexander Bakhmeteiff quoted the declaration of the provisional govern ment rejecting all thoughts of sepa- rate peace, and added that "every re- -cent event in Russia leaves not the slightest doubt that Russia is decided as to the necessity of fighting the German autocracy until the condi- tions for a general and stable peace in Europe are established"

RUSSIA MISSION IN
 AMERICAN CAPITAL
JOURNEY HALF AROUND WORLD TO REACH WASHINGToN-lM-
 PRESSIvE SIGHT SEEN.

Washington.-The special diplo- matic mission from Russia was re- ceived upon it's arrival here with every possible effort to reflect Americas pro- found hope and confidence in the new est European democracy.
 The highest officials of the State De- partment, including Secretary Lans- ing. Counsellor Polk and Assistant Secretary Phillips, met the envoys' special train at the end of their long journey half way around the world and greeted them formally in the name of the government and the people of the United States. Crowds cheered them as they went under double cav airy escort past the capitol, up Penn sylvania Avenue, between the White House and the Treasury Department, to the David Henning Jennings home, which is to be their headquarters.
 The Russians presented an impres- sive sight as they alighted from their train. Many were in the Russian uni form of a khaki coat, blue trousers and black knee boots Ambassador !
 Kakhmietieff, the head of the mission, advanced between Third Assistant 1 Secretary Long, who had met the mis- sion in Chicago, and Counsellor Onou of the embassy here to meet Secretary Lansing and other American officials. Afterward he presented each member of the mission personally to the secre- | tary.
 A hearty cheer greeted the mission as they passed out of the station and several red flags were waived. Big crowds, free at lunch hour, greeted the mission all along the way and showed the warmest interest in the far dis 1 tant allies.
 On the way the procession passed the headquarters of the Italian and Belgian missions, representatives of which watched them passing with in terest. The flags of Russia, Belgium and Italy are now flying from the state, war and navy building in recog- hilton of the missions now here.

Those women who are fortunate enough to know how to embroider may make for themselves the sort of blouses that bring very high prices in the waist shops. The embroidery in silk floss, on crepe georgette or crepe de chine, that appears in some of the smartest blouses, is not tedious. It is rather easy to do and the work does not take much time; where it is used the work of putting the blouse togeth- CT, running in tucks, hemming, etc. Is also done by hand.
 A very new and very beautiful mod el in a blouse of this kind appears in the picture, made of fine, pure white georgette, with real flet inser- ton in the collar and cuffs. It is em- bellished with a jabot of the crepe finished with filet edging. The lace is set with a fine embroidered cording. This exquisite line is used in the collar and cuffs for setting in the insertion

about the middle of the skirt. The or gandie points appear again on the net collar.
 Only tucks-nothing more, narrow in width, are placed in groups of parallel rows on the waist, sleeves, belt and peplum. But a row of crochet buttons at each side of the front of the waist shows that the designer needs the mandates of fashion even when creating something entirely new in net frocks. The buttonless dress might be considered impossible. A slip of white or colored organdie is to be worn under a froek of this kind.
 Cotton voile and swiss organdie are already pledged to one another and will meet the fortunes of life together in other midsummer frocks this season. Lace is inconstant and is found In the company of net and voile. organdie and crepe or any other of the sheer mate rials.

Marabou Trimming for Sweaters.

No doubt as consequence of the high and ever higher price of angora many of the newest sweaters now show a trimming of rparabou. Especially at tractive is combination of soft brown with yellow oolen sweater There Is no reason why the woman who is clever enough to knit her own sweat CTS should not also be clever enough to devise marabou trimming from marahou bought by the yard

and appears on the sleeves and down each side of the front
 Narrow tucks, in groups of three, are placed down the front of the blouse. three groups on each side. Two lengths of the filet insertion are set in the back with embroidery between them. It is the same design as the embroidery in the sleeves and jabot.
 The second waist is of georgette also, but is machine-made and far less expensive than the handmade model. It has plaited frill at the front and Is neatly finished with hemstitching. The sleeves have deep cuffs and the collar depends upon hemstitching for its ornamentation. This is a pretty waist for a tailored skirt or to be worn with a suit.

Dainty Tea Gowns.

The feminine eye cannot fail to be attracted to the dainty new tea gowns and boudoir gowns. which were never more lovely than they are this season. There is distinct revival of the es- sentially feminine, daintily tinted bou- doir gowns of fiesh-colored georgette crepe or crepe de chine combined with a coatee of wide, sheer lace fiouncing.

An Atlantic Port.-Members of the crew of British steamer which ar rived here reported having sunk an attacking German submarine. The British vessel sent shell into the submarines magazine, causing an ex plosion which parted the undersea boat about midships. Each end sank separately. The British steamer was uninjured
 The submarine was five miles dis tant and running away after having attacked the Britisher nearly 400 miles off the coast of Ireland.
 According to the story told by a gunner of the British steamer, the submarine was first seen when she sent shell at the steamer from a distance of about 5000 yards. It fell short and the steamer immediately was swung around so that her stern was toward the U-boat, getting the naval gun at work. Eleven shots were fired in rapid succession and each struck very close to the German.
 4hC ~hCi hAcIAo WCiC QS11lS lAClI lWO guns, fore and aft, while we had only one, but the shells were falling short and he started to run," said the Brit ish gunner. "I followed him with shell and the twelfth struck just abaft the periscope.
 We could all see the boat break in half and go down, disappearing within few minutes. I sent four more shots into the water at the spot where she disappeared.
 At the same time our battle was going on the wireless operator picked up the call of Gan American vessel that arrived at an Atlantic port) and also caught a message that another American ship had been torpedoed and was sinking. The message said that the German was firing on the life boats. That vessel was about 30 miles to the south of us and I do rot know how they made out"
 The steamers captain and other Of ficers would not discuss the battle, but confirmation of the gunner's story was obtained from other members of the crew.

Washington.-Proh regula- tions of a sweeping character were written into the administration food control bill by the House.
 After several hours of parliament tary sparring. during which the pro- hibitory proposals were thrown out repeatedly on points of order, the pro hibition element got the upper hand and forced adoption of amendments which would forbid the use of any foodstuffs during the war for making intoxicants and would give the presi- dent authority to take over, in hls discretion, all stocks of distilled li- quors.
 Then the House settled down to a long night session. with the prospect that a final vote on the bill might be taken some time between midnight and morning The leaders were de- termined to vote before adjournment.
 Action on the prohibition amend ments was taken in committee of the whole, and opponents of the proposals immediately began mastering their forces for reconsideration when the bill comes up for final discussion in the House proper.
 Should the proposals finally survive in the House, a fight will be made on them in the Senate, although much prohibition sentiment has been appar- ent there, and equally far-reaching amendments are pending.
 The amendment designed to cut off manufacture of liquors was adopted, 132 to 114 It was submitted by Rep resentative Barkley of Kentucky (Democrat), and would provide that no food, food material or feed could be used during the war for the manu- fracture of alcohol or alcoholic bever- ages except for governmental, indus trial, scientific, medicinal or sacra- mental purposes.
 It is provided that any person who wilfully violates the section shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding s5,000 or by imprisonment for not more than two years, or both.
