The demand Of q Twenty-Five per

unusual, but the further plan to

that was nolshcvikism in its
purest form.
Try to think Of the possibilities
of a ship that was governed by
a committee, instead of a captain,
whose authority heretofore has,
by reason Of necessity, been rec
lognizcd by international mari
time law, as supreme while the
ship is on the high seas. Under
the Bolshcvik system who would
supply the captains maritime
knowledge? Where would the
authority rest, in case Of mutiny?
What would happen to the pas

Martin has been in the public
eye, to some degree, for the past
two weeks. He is one of Town

was scheduled to speak before

zens OF Columbus and Big Timber

1 wardrobe than the little silk frock,
made so simply that it may with good
taste be worn in the morning and in
fact, all day until 1t is time to change
for dinner? The gown shown in the
sketch has the added advantage of being
appropriate for the young girl or for
her mother. 1t has taking little youth
full air and yet is not so frivolous that
It gives the older woman wearing it the
appearance of attempting a second
youth.
The original model was developed in
creme de chine in a pretty shade of
silver gray, light enough to be becoming,
but not too light for service, The plain
underskirt is of the crepe de chine. over
this falls the skirt section of the Russian
blouse a style that promises to be once
more popular as the leaves turn from
green to brown. This lower section is
omen at the sides and is held in place
nv two straps, each decorated with a
button.
The blouse is built on generous lines.
