TASTY MARRIAGES
 CONTRACTED BY ALIENS IN RUSSIA

Copenhagen, Dec. IS (Corre- spondence of the Associated Press)- Romance was intermingled with tragedy in the trying days when the foreign colonies were attempting to get permission to leave Russia. Ar rests, searches and threats of execu- tion were relieved by marriages be- tween men of the Entente powers and Russian women.
 The Bolshevik government would not grant Russian citizens permits to go abroad. Consequently foreign men who hoped to leave Russia shortly could not hope to see their sweethearts for an indefinite period, possibly never. if they left them in starving, disrupted Russia, where food Is denied to persons not regard ed as class conscious workmen" and
 all persons not in sympathy with Bolshevism are dispossessed.
 Many officials of the French and British colonies married in the last trying days of heir stay in Moscow and Petrograd, but the wedding of Captain w. L. Hicks, military aide to Bruce Lockhart, the British diplo- matic representative in Moscow, was accomplished in the face of greater obstacles perhaps, than those of other Entente citizens who managed to marry between jail sentences and searches.
 Captain Hicks was one of the French and English officials who were held as prisoners in the Ameri- TIo was engaged to marry Madame Me linina, but dared not leave the Amer ican premises to marry her. Most of his official associates were in prisons charged with contra-revolutionary activity and in danger of execution. Russian priests refused to perform | the ceremony in the American con- sulate, as the orthodox church re- 1 quires that marriages be celebrated | in church.
 Major Allen Wardwell of the American Red Cross, who was look ing after the interests of foreign pris-
 oners, interceded with BoIshevik of i ficials, but Peters, the head of the 1 commission for the suppression of ! contra revolution, was firm in his
 refusal to grant Captain Hicks inn i munity if he left the American 1 property and walked into the Rus 1 sian church which stood in an ad- l joining court. When the hour for ] the departure Of the British officials
 from Moscow approached the situa-
 ton became desperate.
 1 Finally one of the Lettish women | who was guardtne CaDtain Hicks be-
 came interested in his plight and tel
 ephoned to Peters, addressing him 1T the Isettish tongue. Her appeal was
 needed. She assumed responsibility
 for the delivery of the English off cer at the train which was to carry him out of Russia. A priest was hastily engaged and the party stopped in an orthodox church on the
 way to the station, where the cere-
 mony was performed just half ar hour before the bride and groom
 started for England.

THE UNUSUAL IN DRESS.

After all it is the unexpected and unusual little thing which seems to set the final seal of success on the appearance. Smartly dressed women realize this and often gain their rep utation for being smartly dressed by the addition of something original and pleasing-and perhaps also a bit more daring than the more conserva- tive choose, says the New York Sun.
 Nothing is more unexpected at this time than the vogue of the tulle hat, for instance. Just when most women are reaching out after fur toQues and bonnets to match heavy winter togs, the very newest most up to date cre- alton of millinery appears to be the tulle hat. It has taken on surprising shapes also, as for instance a cur tous, upstanding brown tulle bonnet with 8 crown like a Cossack's 8. Around the brim flares a band Of tulle which ends in a fiat smart bow directly over the face.
 As yet it is only the brown tulle hat which seems to be favored. This suggests coquetry, for long ago French women decreed that the very perfection of artistic effect was pro- duced by hat of so nearly the exact shade of the hair that the observer could hardly tell where hat left of and hair began, so clearly and softly did the two mingle. Of course the brown shades of tulle permit this perfect harmony, as brown hair is easily matched
 Along with the tulle hat come some new feather trimnings-feath- CTS trained and curled into all sorts of designs such as leaves blossoms, tricornes, rosettes Snd cockades. A certain wide trimmed hat of leaf brown tulle has it's crown entirely covered with feather leaves laid on quite fiat and overlapping so that nothing of the hat underneath is wis ible. The hem is wide and farinS, and is made of several layers of tulIe placed one above the other.
 Another hat of the same sort, also of brown tulle, has the same wide and flaring brim of several thick nesses of the tulle, and at intervals narrow bands of the feathers appear The only trimming is very wide flat butterfly bow tied just in front This hat has the thinnest Of crowns through which the hair shows pret- tily. Of couRse these frail and deli cate chapeauE are intended only fOE the most elaborate and dressy occa- sions, such as matinees, afternoon teas and restaurant wear.
 variation of the tuIle drape( toque of the summer has appeared in a smart model of moleskin ana 1 taupe colored silk net. The fur ant | the net are cunningly drapet together to form the close fitting i hat. From the back the net fall: away into long veil which ends 1T a deep band of the moleskin fin
 ished with a button and catch tC fasten at the back, thus presentin; the appearance of a fur collar.

 The blue waist is cut away across the chest to give full opportunity for dis playing the broad panel vest of henna cloth A bib of the dark blue material turns up on this vest, and by its out lines helps to form elongated inserts of henna cloth. which, cut in one with the vest, run down to the belt and extend in two small shaped pieces un the skirt. A round collar of henna cloth is edged with narrow wool crochet in match ing shade.
 Possibly you will think this wool crochet isn't in keeping with the enl- broiLt'y of silk, but it looks very smart, because it's obviously just 8 collar finish. The back of this gown is quite plain and devoid of trimming except for the touch of color on the round collar of Eenna cloth, which, of course, appears at the back.
  at the centre back under gilt buckle.
 This uote of gilt is strongly en- Ihastzed by rows of tiny gilt buttons that outline the little panels of henna cloth. These buttons are also used on the sleeves.
 Henna silk floss embroidered in chain stitches simulate buttonholes on the other side of the panels.
 You will be interested in the sleeves of this gown. They are cut quite snug at the shoulders, but grow wider near the wrist, where outings of heana cloth are let in. Quite new sleeve finish this Is, you will observe. Gilt buttons out line these inserts of henna cloth. Mar TOW cuffs which fiji ,>e wrist snugly ex- tend below the loose sleeves. This cuff Is also outlined with gilt buttons.
 Taking it all and all l think this gown is one of the most attractive frocka which has been turned out in our ate Her. this season. Its colors are durable, and yet the warmth of tone and the con trast supplied by the henna vest and trimmings brightens the sonlbreness of blue to real cheerfulness in any light or weather.
 A variety of hats are appropriate for wear with this gown. either cloSe turban effects o. broad brins. A happy medium between these two is struck in this well

Five Ways of Varying Your HairIine.

small, black elastic bands are sometimes ugly. These bands make the hair net so obvious. A net should be as invisible as you can possibly make 1t.
 If your features aren't perfect, and how few of us possess the rare lines of perfection, you should try a variety of hairdressirg until you find the style best adapted to your features. Hair parted on tho side Is attractive and very be- coming to some faces.
 To others the pompadour is more be- coming, because 1t may show a beauti- ful brow to a greater advantage. The broad face looks best with snug ar engagement of the hair. while a small face requires more fluffy effect.
 Even after deciding on a definite coif- fUTe you may have to change it to suit your hat, unless you're wise enough ai- ways to buy hat that conforns to your mode of hairdTessing. Wise Is the wom- an who has the courage to persist in this idea of choosing a hat. If your face can stand it the simple coIffure Ia al- ways the best choina

mark of beauty. and one which If pos sessed shouldn't be lightly hidden by pompadours, bangs or puffs unless the shape of the remainder of tho face de- uiands this style of hairdressing.
 You should cultivate beautiful hair line around the forehead and temples, and particularly at the nape of the neck. 4 beautiful back neck Is a great at uihute of loveliness.
 If your hair is thin around the tenn Hles or straggly looking at the back of the neck you should intensively culti- rate these portions of your scalp by esreful brushing, passaging and the ap- plication of a good hair tonic.
 The hairIine Is governed by the ar engagement of your hair. How many Iomen with high, protruding foreheads could overcome this defect-sometimes 0 wrongfully featured by so-called in- ciloctual "highbrows"-by a low ar- ~sngement of the hair on the forehead.

EVE AT
THE UNITED CHURCH.

At 7:45 on Christmas Eve, the ola English custom of singing carols will be observed, Christmas in Bible Lands will be the subject for dis cussion. Impressions of the remarka- ble meeting of the American Board at Hartford and the addresses of Dr. Cornelius H. Patton at the United church on December 15, so largely concerned with the rehabilitation Of the near East, will be given.
 It is especially fitting -lAls year that the Christmas outlook should be ex- tended far beyond the usual family celebration,
 There are two ways of celebrating this fest.val-one, 9 mere Santa Claus celebration; the other, a cele- bration of the birthday of our Mas ter. When we celebrate the birth day of father, mother or brother, we try to do more than send presents; if possible, we do not let the occasion pass without visiting them at their own house-in this same spirit, the United church people meet on Tues day evening in the Masters house.

 A soft pomPadour which overlaps the brow and hrings down its height should be chosen 3y the woman with this type of forehead. Hair parted in the middle Is usually lovely, and gives an impress zion of sweetness, purity and dignity seldom attained by any other coiffure. put 1t should be avoided by the woman whose forehead Is too high.
 Unless your hairline is pretty in the back it isn't wise to cultivate a high coiffure. The low knot will overcome rhe unattractive appearance of a scraw- ney back neck with thin, struggling hair, inclined to fringe" over. With any headdress these short hairs should be confined with a barette or small, in- visible hairpins unless a hair net iT worn which completely envelopes them.

THE CAROLS.

One of the prettiest observances of the modern Christmas is the singing of carols about the streets. This was a popular feature of the holiday in England three or four centuries ago, but is comparatively novel in this country.
 The best of the Christmas carols are generally the oldest. These ancient melodies have a peculiarly picturesque and romantic character. That a tune should be handed down from one gen. eration to another over so long a pe- riod, indicates that it must have some vital quality of melody and rhythm.
 Many of these melodies came down through periods when there were no singing books. Somehow their native power made them live. They still have their quaint charm and fascina- ton.
 So it is a pleasure when the singers of a town revive this ancient custom Let us not fret if it is beyond the usual hour when conservative people have soug-.- their slumbers.
