Their Problems of Today Are to Exc Out Mere Lfe-Those
Who Wore Jewels Grateful for Rags
By NEA Service

nj EW YORK. Sept. o.
~ Russia's most beautiful
woman, the Baroness Mara Liiier
de Steinheil, has just arrived in
America to start all over and
make her fortune as a singer.
Perhaps 1 was beautiful in the old
Petrograd days" she admitted with
an impersonal air Then the artists
all wanted to paint me, and men
turned to look again as 1 passed; but
in those days many Russian women
are.
1--WE have shaved and suffered and
starved and lost our faith. Our faces
will not lie
If the baroness has lost any of the
vividness that made her the toast of the
Russian capital in the pre-revolution
days, she has retained enough to
make most women envious of her.
How to Live
Since the Bolshevist regime we
women have not thought much about
beauty" she went on. We've been
more absorbed in the problem of get
ting enough food from day to day
and saving our lives.
Those who once wore jewels and
furs are grateful for few rags to
protect themselves from the cold.
Stockings are a luxury few can afford.
Soap IS so expensive, cleanliness
is out Of the question. Face powder is
prohibitive in price and every woman
is wearing her own complexion.
Bodied hair is the style, because it
requires less care.
THE slender figure is in vogue,
because 1t is the result Of starvation
and deprivation"
But one good has come out of all
this chaos.
All Can Work
Every Russian woman has learned
to work - the baroness says.
Women who speak languages
usually can find employment in the
government offices. Those who can
sew, can earn their bread. Others
