U. S. MAY BE IN FARLEY.
Interests May Be Involved When
Nations Discuss Russia.

It is intimated that the United
States government may feel called on
to have a regular representative at
the coming Russian conference in
London instead Of having only ar
observer" there.
That possible change of policy is due
to the general impression that the
discussions at the London conference
may take a wide range and deal with
affairs in which this government is
directly interested. even if they do
not go so far as to require amend
ments Of the peace treaty.

nsw model at the lower right Of the
page is charming. As shown, it is
developed in blue serge with fine
knife pleats. The little jacket is cut
in pointed outline. It reaches to
just below the waistIine and fin-
ishes with a very full outstanding
pleating.
The skirt starts with hip yoke
around which passes a flat folded
girdle Of the cloth, knotting in front.
Below this are the two pleated
flounces which form the skirt depth.
For all its complication Of design
! this suit looks well.
In another type Of suit favorably
considered we see a revival Of tho
old-fashioned, man-tailored style.
The coat is three-quarters length
with swinging fullness from the
hips and has simple coat sleeve,
fiat collar, small revers and breast
pockets. Except for this 81 d e.
swinging fullness it resembles a
mans frock coat. The skirts of
such suits are short, fairly full and
gathered at the waist-line. This is
a very practical sort Of suit, excel
lent for travelling and likely to give
long and good service because It
will not look out Of date when sup
planted by the designs Of a later
season.

in defense Of certain styles that he
was launching at the moment which
set forth in simple language a basic
principle of beauty. Said he: "A
beautiful woman is to me like q
beautiful vase, perfectly proper
toned; narrow pedestal, slightly
curving body, urnlike shoulders sur
mounted by pinnacle. When de-
sign a dress think always Of the
vaselike proportions Of the figure
and try to accentuate rather than
deform them" 1t is perhaps ten
years since NJ. Poiret made this re-
mark, and now all Of Paris threat
ems to develop new dresses of vase
like proportions.
A number Of interesting models
on vaselike lines have been con-
structed. Sometimes the bulge Of
the vase comes about at the
hipline. In some Instances it is
rather abrupt, but usually on grace
full, curving lines.
Charming Dresses
With Ribbon Sashes
THIS season has brought forth
nothing more charming than
the dresses with big ribbon sashes,
the bow Of which stands out in
bouffant effect almost like pan
nier drapery. To Madeleine ct

Of introducing the sash and the low

ton Of clothes.

Simplicity Wins
A Signal Victory
EENNY'S simple models, with knife
and accordion pleated founced
skirts, have gained much approval.
These have caught the fancy of both
the Parisienne and the American.
There is every indication that pleat.
ed flounces will be worn for some
time to come. Flounces, especially
when pleated, make a dress or suit
appear very youthful. This Is no
doubt the chief reason why they
have become almost too popular. But
after all, everything that is young
looking and strikingly becoming i.
widely copied. So we may take our
choice as to whether we shall wear
clothes that are pretty enough to
have won perhaps too general favor
or be exclusive at the expense, uf
missing much that is appealingly
pretty and feminine in dress.
In comparison with the sumptu-
BUSINESS that has prevailed in dress
since the war ended, one views with
joy the little tailored suits with
pleated flounces. Jenny makes an
adorable one with a box jacket held
in slightly at the waistline by a
narrow belt ending in an Egyptian
ornament. 1t has plain coat collar
and revers and simple, full length
coat sleeve. The skirt has a shallow
yoke and two sidepleated founces.

important fashion for next season.
Its adoption by women throughout
the United States is reflected in
the demands the shops are now get
ting for it.
Startling Suggestions
From Old Egypt
0NE French firm made designs
from old Egypt the emphatic
no t e throughout it's entire collec-
ton. This house believed in these
fashions to such an extent that it
went in for the most eXtravagant
embroideries of Egyptian appear
ance and showed a multitude of
models Of distinctly Egyptian feel
ing. 1t had no lack of confidence
in the idea.
Some Of the Egyptian evening
gowns have a chiffon train which
forms mantle, falling from the
shoulders and yelling the nude back
the back Of the bodice being cut
very low. This mantle train is al
ways in striking contrast to the dress
itself. Sometimes it is caught at
the back in low blouse effect and
trails off at the bottom. It's edge is
weighted with heavy embroidery,
preferably Of metal threads.
A lovely model In soft gray has
a scarlet train. Almost the entire
front of the dress is covered with a
panel of gorgeous embroidery in
Egypt n motifs, done in dull
Oriental colors and metal shades.
There are afternoon costumes
strongly Oriental in feeling. One,
Of black satin, has trouser skirt
and loose fitting, surplice, blousing
bodice. The transparent sleeves,
which are bell shape and full length,
are of jade green chiffon. A novel

Some reach to within a few inches
Of the skirt hem and others barely
to the turn Of the hips. They may
curve to fit the figure quite snugly
at the waistline and from there
flare widely. Again, the tailored
suit has a straight little boxlike

gowAs and hats but in purses, para
soils and novelties. q Any innovation
in fashions carries with it's intro

BE GIVEN THIS YEAR

Manitowoc, Wis Alois Lang, of
this city. has received a letter from
his cousin, Anton Lang, who takes
the part Of Christus in the Passion
Play, at Oberammergau, Bavaria,
saying that the great mystery play
will not be presented this year on
account of the pitifuls condition OF
the people since the war.
The Passion Play, which is given
every ten years, is supposed to be
presented in 1920 in the little Bava-
rlan village, but Mr. Lang, who car
ries the leading role. writes that
there are too many other things up
permost. in the villagers minds, to
give attention to the play They
have neither food nor clothing
enough and much sickness prevails
in the community, he says.
Anton Lang took the part of Chris
tus in 1900 and in 1910, the last
