AMERICAN WOMAN
IN RUSSIA WRITES TO
ORLANDO FRIEND

The Orlando Sentinel of yesterday
contains an interesting letter from an
American woman in Russia which
tells quite bit Of the troubles Am
ericans are experiencing there. The
Sentinel says:
Some extracts are given from a let
ter written by Miss Anna Haines, a
schoolmate of Mrs. G. d. Christ, now
abroad, with the Friends RecOnstruc.
ton unit at Buzuluk All Friends
service it without pay.
She describes travel difficulties
when endeavoring to go from Petro.
grad to Buzuluk.
I'VE made a spectacular though
outwardly quiet, drive to the English
embassy, where they secretly handed
over to us about $4,000 as a sort
OF loan until they could get out of
Petr0grad banks what is really there
in our name, They also gave us OF.
fetal Red Cross letters which guar.
anteed free tickets on our applica-
tion to the ticket office. So we set
off through the dark and very
crowded streets to the station, in two
tiny sledges, with great box of
medicine given by the American Red
Cross, also with various purchases in
the way of books and clothes needed
by our party,
"On arriving at the station square,
we found 1t jammed with people of
all sorts and conditions, clamoring
to get away from Petrograd. Por.
ters shrugged their shoulders and
said they were not working. Mr.. A.
knows as little Russian as I do, so he
stayed with most of the baggage,

to get through and see when the

he worst time, as there were many
thievs about, and the soldiers who
try to keep some sort of order, kept
shooting at people around him.
"I found the Moscow train; depos.
tied the box of medicine with the Red
Cross stamp on it, as the least like
ly thing to be stolen, and went back
to tell Mr.. A.
I'VE wen through again by iollying
the soldiers to let us through the reg
ular lines, but when we got to the
train again new official was there
who demanded tickets from us. We
knew all along we should have had
them. Mr.. A. went back while I held

so popular in Paris. 1t is of blue

unusually well tailored there is very
little else to say about it. And that's
all that really matters about a coat
suit anyway.
Another smart blue serge has its
inspiration from the aviation suit and

mirable results. while a charming

with a narrow belt which crosses and

Large bone buttons are used for last

Brown silvertone is a good begin

inspiration for the things that came
after. For instance. the inset panels
are stitched all over in brown. and
this same mode of trimming is used
on the cuffs. A bias fold of the ma

for Reddy Fox or Old Man Coyote to

there had been no need of a back
