FAMINE MENACING RUSSIA.

Well-informed observers discounted
the Russian reports that an overflow
ing harvest is assuring all parts Of
the Soviet Republic food for a twelve
month. Now comes evidence that their
skepticism was well founded. The crop
season has been highly favorable, but
no weather can atone for lack of seed,
machinery. and draft animals. The
Moscow correspondent of the London
Observer states that In the famine
area the yield per acre sown will be
large. but the total harvest rather
small" He reports that Samara Prov

seeded; and he gives one reason for
this limited effort when he says that
Of 1896 900 horses and cattle in 1915

respondent of La Victoire (Parisj

milliners-are authority for the above
estimate. A few placed their estimate
a little higher, a few said less-but
this is the average. If they don't buy
a spring and fall suit each year, then
they buy more dresses, and the budget
evens up.
They also made it plain that it re-
quires good judgment TO be well
dressed on that amount, and girl
must know the values in this shop and
that and know style
Madelyn Luecl, No. 512 Seneca ave
nue., Brooklyn, explained how she
managed to get thru on $500 year:
u get my dinner frocks so that 1
can wear them to business when they
get old. buy winter coat each year,
and the one from last year serves as
second best.
I'D like to see any girl dress on $50
a year, Employers don't like a dowGy
around. A girl who looks like a freak
has a. fine chance in New York.
The merchants of Kansas had down
on the list: Cotton stockings at
cents a pair; one wool dress at y $50
for the year; one cotton dress at $685.;
one coat, S22.5O CtO wear three
years.; one coat suit, $14.75 (to wear
three seasons); one pair OF SHOES,
sass; one pair of oXfords, S2-sS, and
other things in line
Say, what do they think We are?"
Marion Blust, bookkeeper, wanted to
know do the girls dance in wooden
shoes out there or don't they dance
or go any place at all? I pay my
board at home, and the rest of my
money goes to clothes, and I am glad
of it,
It was. brought out in the inquiry
that only two girls in twelve do any
sewing and that the majority prefer
to buy all their clothes ready-made.
They said they get better styles for
the same money.
But you have to know where to
buy Miss Lueck emphasized.
She was wearing a $25 silk and lace
party frock that looked twice its price,
and questions elected the informa-
ton from others that some buy their
stockings at bargains and their dresses
after sampling a dozen shops
The great majority of New York;
office girls live at home, according
to the League of Girls Clubs, and that
makes it possible for most of them
to dress up to standard. The younger
girls give their mothers all they earn,
and the mothers look after their
dress; but mothers of young girls are
dependably indulgent-
The older girls contribute on an
average of IS a week for their board,
and the rest is theirs. Most of them
confessed that they also saved in the
waning weeks of a season for the be-
ginning of the next season and that
savings usually were drawn upon in
this manner.
