not shared in Russian circles. There
the unofficial opinion obtains that a
stable government can be attained IN
the giant baby republic In only two
ways:
/. A dictatorship of blood and iron.
2. The education OF the masses of
the people.
The people have already tasted too
much of liberty ever again to permit
a rule of blood and iron to be set up.
They have not yet learned enough TO
cease chasing the pot of peace and

Use of Bright CoIors.

There is no doubt about the priority
Of red in the fashion rainbow of the
season. At first we heard that fash
ions would tend toward brighter col
ors," and then that black and somber
colors generally would be less popular
than for the past few seasons. That
wasn't putting it strong enough. We
are In for. a season of red. 1t has
been suggested by way of an excuse
for fashions choice that red is one OF
the colors of our flag and that 1T is
also found in the flags of most of our
allies. 1t has been suggested that red
is a symbol of war and that we are
wearing it to indicate our Willingness
to fight to a finish. 1t has also been
suggested that we are wearing red just
because we would be even more de-
jected than we are were we willing to
wear colors as somber as our spirits.
Perhaps the most surprising mani
festation of this new craze Tor req
is to be found in the red jewelry that
has sprung up with mushroom speed
and is found at popular prices In most
Of the novelty shops. The boardwaik
shops at the seashore VIII probably pc
deluged with colors before the season
is out.
Red hats have way Of coming and
then going as suddenly at this time
of the year. They look good till the
weather becomes really warm ana tncu
they are odious. The same thing Is
apt to happen with all our red ac-
cessories. They will flourish for Few
weeks and then they wfll retire under
the superior splendor of the bright sun.
But other bright, or. at least, gay
colors are pretty apt to continue in
high favor all summer. 1t has been
suggested often that black does not
20 especially well with khaki. and
every woman with soldier In camp
knows that the man in Khaki mas q
preference for women's clothes that
are colorful. There is enough OF the
drab and co1orless in their life. NO
wonder, then, that they want the wom-
en- they dance with and talk with to
Be got up in rainbow colors.
There Is another phase OF the ques-
tfon. The man at home first discovers
that his wife's red hat is atrocfous
when she has worn 1t for the thirteenth
time In succession. He could have
raved over it once. admired it twice
and tolerated It half dozen times,
but for steady diet, never. So with
striking and colorful clothes generally.
Men like them on the women they
sec but seldom, but the women they
are with daily. they like to see in
moro staid colors. Well. of course, the
man in khaki has no such surfeiting
Of women's gay clothes. And he would
far rather be greeted by wife or
sweetheart in gay raiment thaa one
who felt that the war widow had to
assume a drab costume to indicate her
loneliness.

NEW YORK. March 80, is13-There
Is nothing new to the American public
In the suggestion OF short Jackets.
They came as surprise during the
holiday season. but they are accepted
as commonplace today.
America was quite clever to get them
early in the season. They were pro-
jectcd in Paris for the Riviera trade,
and they were shown to the buyers,
who are out early in the morning to
catch the first worm OF fashion that
appears.
They were talked about. written
about. and sometimes worn in this
country during the coolest winter
weather. regardless of the fact that
they were suggestive OF spring time
and warmth. The average American
cares little about this situation in
fashions. however, for she wraps her
self in furs at all seasons Of the year,
like an Eskimo. and adores her heavy
topcoat more than she does the frock
beneath it.
Varying the Short Jacket.
AS soon as France established the
short coat. she turned her attention to
