We are under orders as to evening
gowns; the edict is that they must be
simple. This is dictated by good taste

Designers are not expected to sit down
in dull apathy and do nothing as long
as war lasts and on the other hand,
they must not seem to forget the
grim business that occupies so much

pears not to have suffered from this
.estraint in being gay. Designers have
exercised so much cleverness with the
means at hand that there is room for
thoughtfulness.
Velvet is greatly favored for one
piece frocks that do duty for eve
ming and extend their usefulness to
daytime wear by the addition Of a
guimpe of lace or embroidered net, or
en underbodice with long sleeves Of
satin. This type of dress meets with
the readiest approval.
The evening gown, pure and simple,
Is developed in the usual materials,
of crepe georgette. crepe-de-chine. net,
lace, light-colored satin and metallic

successful dressing than the style Of

muffie up the throat and shoulders,
over warm coats out of doors, or to be
thrown about the shoulders indoors,

SNOW IS FALLING OVER
 THE ENTIRE CENTRAL WEST.
Trains Are Delayed Between Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha and Kansas City.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-Falling snow driven by a 35 gale over the entire central west today had very seriously impeded traffic of all sorts. Railway trans portation officials reported tonight that trains operating between Chicago, St, Louis, Omaha and Kansas City were 100 per cent. delayed" with danger of total Heups becoming more immi- nent every hour.
 In Chicago, where the snowstorm was declared by the weather bureau to be the worst that had visited this city for many years, street car traffic vir- tually was abandoned by the surface lines, though the elevated trains were able to operate on irregular schedules. Snow had begun falling at 10 o'clock Saturday night and by nightfar today the wind had blown it into many drifts seven feet and more high in all thor oughfares. Automobile traffic was ab- solutely blocked in all parts of the city except the business district known as the loop" and it was feared by city officials that great difficulty would be met tomorrow in efforts to distribute fuel and provisions throughout the city.
 The storm began Friday in the southwest and moved rapidly north eastward, spreading as it advanced, until today, when the furthest east it had reached seemed to be Indiana, which reported increasing cold. with W1nd-driven sleet sweeping over the state. Minneapolis, St. Paul and Mil Waukee all were affected similarly to Chicago. St. Louis reported two inches of snowfall precipitation since Satur- day night. while in and around Chicago the snowfall itself was estimated al about one foot.
 Weather bureau officials held out lit. tle nope of an early abatement of the storm, declaring that reports from the forecast area indicated the snow an6 wind would continue tomorrow, with . possible slackening of wind velocity
 but increased coldness Temperature

The peace negotiations between the central powers and the Bokhevik gov- ernment in Russia have been tempo rarily suspended" by the Germans.
 From the meagre advices the rock upon which a continuation of the pourparlers split was the Neeland of the Russians that the conference be resumed at Stockholm instead of at Brest Litovsk- Dissatisfied with the proposals for peace made by the Teu- tonic allies before the recess of the Brest Ltovsk conference, Leon Tratz- ky. the Bolshevik foreign minister, had been insistent on the deliberations be- ing held on neutral soil instead of at the German eastern headquarters. The Germans, however, had been equally as firm in their determination not to treat with the Russians at any other place than Brest Litovsk-
 German advices Saturday were to the effect that the Bolshevik delegates on finding that the representatives of the Teutonic allies were at Brest Litovsk awaiting them had started for this town, but nothing has come through to show that this had any foundation in fact The decision ot the Germans to discontinue the sittinGs was arrived at during a crown council held in Berlin Saturday which was at- tended by Field Marshal Won Hinden- burg and General Won Ludendorff, first Quartermaster general.
