Ono Piece Frocks Differ.
Tho struggle between the long and
the short skirt having been settled III
favor OF the former, which is the
American fashion, the new struggle is
between the medieval chemise frock
and the tight draped one.
Every house shows both designs and
If women have sufficient money to get
moro than the one necessary costume
they can buy both styles and see which
is moro suitable to their figure.
Despite the preponderance Of the
medissval froci, the shadow of COM
ing event falls athwart It. There is
something significant in the new gown,
which again was designed in America.
It differs entirely from the medieval
silhouette, and the skirt is long. 1t is
draped upward it hobbies the ankles
and it has a slim bodice that would
ton to recognize the waistlinc.
There Is a feeling among those who
sense things without being able to
argue them out in logical sequence that
the medieval frock is about to he
superseded. There is no sign Of this
in the Paris exhibitions, but here and
there women are asking that their
clothes be more fitted 10 the figure,
even when they are cut in one straight
line.
We grow simmer as Mr.. Hoover
asks US to pull In our belts tighter.
We appear to be attenuated, eve
though we may be we'll nourished. We
do not propose TO hide this slimness
under a bushel OF material, and it may
be that history will repeat itself from
tho days OF the Directoire, when it was
smart and patriotic to appear cut to
the bone.

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN The FAR EAST
Bring Food and Supplies to
CzeCho-SIOyakS in
Siberia.

" HE American Red Cross has be-
come very active in tlat part of
Russia surrounding Nladiyos-
tok, and the prompt medical assistance
rendered that distressed county has
resulted In saving thousands of lives.
The rescue work done by the Red
Cross for the CZeChO-SlOvak refugees
has assumed prOdigious proportions
and is daily becoming greater in scope.
Cabled advices received from Vladi-
vOstok report that more than 10000
CZechO-SlOvak refugees, 1000 Of them
children, are now being cared for by
the American Red Cross at that city. In
addition to this relief work, the cables
state that the Red Cross Medical or
ganizatiOn is attending hundreds OF
wounded CZechOSlovak soldiers who
have reached VladivOstOk after weeks
of the most desperate fighting against
the prO-German forces.
The condition of the refugees, who
were found living in tents and freight
cars along the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way west of Harbin, was pitiable. A
majority of them are farmers, though
there are many coal miners and rail-
way employees in the number, people
who were driven from their homes by
the BOlsheviki, and some German and
Austrian war prisoners.
The work of administering to the
wounded CZechO-SlOvak fighters, who
Steadfastly refused to recognize the
BolSheviki-German peace, and reliev-
ing the distress of the homeless civil
ians was started the moment their
| plight was brought to the attention of
| the American Red Cross. The relief
work was directed by Charles X. Mo
/ ser. American consul and head of the
Red Cross chapter at Harbin. Ameri-
can Red Cross chapters at Tokyo and
Shanghai also gave valuable aid.
! While waiting for instructions from
America, they went ahead and raised
funds in Vludivostok which provided
temporary relief for both soldiers and
