With the naturalization of women
having become costly failure, the Boil
shevists are now seeking to restore love
in the gamut OF human emotions and
will soon issue booklet on the subject
written by Alexandra Kollontai, who Is
well known In Europe and the United
States as a romantic Marxist She has
devised a new appeal asking the males
and females OF the Third Internationale
not to overlook the Importance of basic
love in struggling for communism.
The whole trouble with Russia's State
owned women, according to Nine. Kol-
lontai, was the fact that when national
1zed they ceased to be an economic fac
tor for good and no longer desired to
bear children who would continue the
republics ideals in the generations to
come.
In other words, Nine. Kollontai after
two years experience as one of the head
commissioners Of public education, aban-
dons utterly anything savoring of free
love, and is calling on the Soviets to
keep their hands off conjugal life if
Russia's revolution is to be saved.
Woman" she says, like man. must
be considered as a unit of labor and
must be allowed to exert her talents and
technique In the work for which she is
fitted, but the State mus. still cede to
her the maintenance of the traditional
utopianism of union with the male of
her choice on the solid foundation of
real love instead of the free national
variety"
The author declares that only when
Russia returns to better ethical con-
cepton along these lines will the hy-
gienic control of families and the moral
education of coming generations he as
sured as the soviet plan demands.
Nine. Kollontai is understood to be
seeking permits to visit the Scandina-
Wan countries and the United States and
England next spring for series of COM
munist lectures on social problems. But
the fact that since 1911 she has in
spired serious strikes and the growth of
extremist ideas wherever she has gone
even In Russia. where she was nstru-
mental in ousting Kerenslly at the be-
hest of the Reds--it Is expected that
she will be unable to obtain the neces-
sary passport visas a. least until Rus
sla's political calendar is cleaner than
at present.

Women's waists are larger than they
used to be and apparently there is not
single Medici waist in all England to-
day. This is the conclusion reached by
Sherwood Foster, organizer OF the Dev-
onshire House fete which was given
Friday in aid Of the Peoples League Of
Health.
In connection with the fete there was
pageant showing the styles of all
ages. Mr.. Foster found Medici cos
tune. but later discovered he was face
to face with tho problem of finding a
girl to wear 1t. He advertised for girl
with q thirteen inch waist, and while
scores responded, all were diversified.
many of them having waists Of eigh-
teen inches and only two-the smallest
with fifteen inch waists. They tried
to squeeze into the Medici costume but
failed.
Then Mr. Foster abandoned the at
tempt and selected Miss Esme kavanagh
and Miss NIadge Sinclair, who had the
smallest waist measure. and had two
old costumes altered TO fit them
The waist l wanted said Mr.. Fos-
ter. is the size Of the span OF my two
hands. 1t is cold truth that women's
waists are larger than they used to be.
c0utdoor games. especially tennis and
hockey. have developed them until the
average is about twenty-one inches
among the women having the smallest
waists"
Some Of tho dresses for the pageant
made from models of those worn in the
bronze age showed a remarkable similar
ity to modern fashions. Many women
will be interested TO know in this con-
nection that jumpers were worn a thou
sand years ago. But dresses worn In
the days of the Medci will not fit to-day.

Paris, Nov. 26.
Are Germans flocking to Paris now
that official peace reigns? DO the
Boulevard Clichy cabarets again echo
with Teuton joy tests and the head
walters in the great hotels bow before
Prussian wealth and arrogancee Such
questions are asked by many Ameri-
cans coming to Paris recently while
wondering how far Europe has really
recovered her pre-war atmosphere.
The answers are in the negative so
far as Paris is concerned. Indeed, the
pre-war German colony here now
shows no sign of returning, while few
Germans can be seen among the tour
lists from all over the world who are
flocking to the French capital.
1t was estimated in 1918 that in Paris
there were $4,000 German residents, as
well as a large number of German
pleasure seekers. The official figures for
this year are not completed, but it il
doubtful il there are even 5000 Germans
residing here as long as two months at
time. Perhaps thrice as many German
transients and business men, however,
ere making flying trips to Paris. but the
one-time enemy pleasure trippers have
almost vanished from aric th,
very wealthy, and they come here
mostly with business in view.
One notable exception is the Kaiser's
nephew, Elgon Hohenlohc. who Is pass
Ing his honeymoon in the south OF
France, having three automobiles and
a numerous suite. meanwhile sienoins
money lavishly regardless os the low
rate of exchange on German marks.
The lack OF Germans in France at
this time Is not due to the fact that they
are not well treated. On the other hand.
they are treated exactly like other for
eigners. Recently for instance. tho
French Government gave facilities to q.
German delegation to visit the verdun
battlefield TO place wreaths on tho
graves of German soldiers there.
French consus abroad have discretion
In the matter of granting vises, but DO
not discriminate against Germans with
real reasons for visiting In France. but
naturally those Germans who seek to
compete in the French labor markets
are not encouraged to come hero.
Exchange difficulties constitute one
reason that makes 1t impossible except
for the very wealthy Germans to come
here. Also many Germans are nisled
by their press to fear possible unpleas-
antness in France or even mob violence.
This is ridiculous, for Germans are po-
litcly but not enthusiastically received
everywhere in France.
To-day German guests In small num-
bers are staying at many fashionable
hotels in Paris. while less wealthy Ger
mans congregate In boarding houses.
mostly Swiss and Dutch. In the suburbs
or in the outer boulevards. However.

the most encouraging thing that has
happened. This is our critical year
and the critical year for the school

no power that can defeat us. Our cause
is right, and the children of the state
are entitled to better chances.
