CHINESE GOVERNMENT
EXTENDS RECOGNITION
TO RUSSIAN SOVIET
Pact Provides That Status
of Eastern Railway Be
Unchanged.

Picking, March 15.-The preliminary
agreement by which China grants dip
lomatic recognition to Russia was
signed here today and presented to the
cabinet Immediately for its approval.
Formal announcement that recog-
milton has been granted is expected
tonight following the cabinet meeting.
The document was signed by For
eign Minister Wang, and Karakhan,
Russian representative.
Successful conclusion of the agree
ment came after several weeks nego-
tiations. An accord on all details
was reached several days ago.
The treaty provides:
!. That all previous treaties be-
tween the government of China and
the imperial regime IN Russia are null
and void and shall be replaced by new
agreements which will be negotiated.
>. Russia shall evacuate Chinese
territory which she now occupies shall
renounce all her extra territorial
rights and recognize sovereignty in
Mongolia.
8. The status of the Chinese East
crn Railway shall continue practically
unchanged with the Russian govern
ment taking the place of the Russo
Asiatic bank, in accordance with pro-
visions of the agreement of 1920. Sow
ereignty of the lines remains with
China which is privileged to purchase
all Russian holdings.
4. A general trade agreement be-
tween the two countries.
.. The question of the return of con.
sular properties will be settled by a
formal conference to be convened with
in 30 days following recognition.
1t is generally believed that Japan
csc recognition of Russia will follow
closely on that of China, because Jap
anese interests in Manchuria are af
fected vitality by the Russo-Chinese
agreement. japanese Minister Yosohi-
waza has been comforting almost daily
with Karakhan here.
One Of the most important pro-
visions of the Chino-Russian agree
ment apparently is the steps taken to-
ward settlement Of the Chinese East
ern Railway which has been bone of
contention among dozen nations for
years.
The line is of great Importance, run
ming eastward through Manchuli.
through Northern Manchuria to Sui
fenho, the last station in Chinese ter
ritory. where it joins tho Ussuri rail
way and then runs east to Vladivos-
tok.
The line was built by the Russians
and under an agreement signed Octo-
Der l, 1920. has been operated by Rus.
slams and Chinese. assisted by the al
lied technical board during Allied &C.
cupation of Siberia.
The length of the line in Chinese
territory is 100 miles.
Japanese and French interests have
been active in attempting to gain con-
troll of the line.

don's spring season. In other
Februarys and Marchs the ma
jority Of travelling Americans hGvO
sought the sun in Mediterranean
lands, arriving in London only when
spring was well established. This
year numbers have come two or
three months ahead of the usual
time.
A party of girl students explained
today that they intended to see az
much as they could Of London and
of rural England while they had
them to themselves" They are
doing their British sightseeing now,
so as to leave as much time as
possible for Wembley and the big
empire exhibition in late April and
May. More than one hundred
Americans arrived aboard the Beren-
garia on her last trip, ana over
three times as many on the Olympic,
and two or three men, not known
to each other gave similar reason
for doing London in March.

FITTING
SMALL HATS
THE CRAZE
London Fashion Parade 10
Viewed by Number Of Early
Arriving Americans.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

LONDON, March 25-There are
no indications of striking changes
being likely to take place in mill
linery outlines this spring. Small
hats, as close fitting as possible, are
the craze, and practically all the
shades worn are variations of the
cloche, the beret and the marquise.
At the very interesting fashion
parade held late last week. there
was large smattering of early
arriving Americans among the
crowd One wore a lovely picture
hat of the kind that will become
fashionable as the hot weather ad-
vances. 1t was Of mauve crino-
line, its brim being outlined with
flat, shaded pink roses, and looked
charming with a pale mauve pic
ture frock of georgette and lace.
A black dancing. frock Of satin
had a frivolous cape Of lace to re-
lieve its sweet sobriety. 1t was
devised by means Of black thread
lace, poised with chiffon. The
bodice was swathed and the skirt
composed of frills. each one bound
with narrow black velvet. The
frills were put on spiral fashion,
and the top one was finished off
by a wired bow of black velvet
ribbon, which rested on one hip.
"ShingIe-B Bob" Latest.
Although a number of the mamie
gums wore their hair shingled,
nearly half wore theirs unshorn.
Several others had their hair rolled
low on the nape Of the neck and
also several had adopted the new
"shingle-bob. It is a compromise
between the two, and the nice short
back effect Of a shingle is achieved
without that plaStered mannish look.
With this new coiffure Is some
times worn one Of the round combs
that Alice in Wonderland used to
effect, only not over the top of the
head as she wore hers.
The new comb has a bar Or
rangement on either side which
keeps the sidepieces Of your hair
in place and nicely nattened, and
it is pushed we'll down on the
head so as to get smooth effect
on top. Orientalism both in color
and design was a. good deal in evi.
dence. and some of the pajamas
and boudoir suits were wonders.
One pair, which made every one
gasp, was composed Of black crepe
de chine, with vivid embroider;es
in triangles at the ankles, and the
entire sleeves worked in metallic
and colored threads to match.
Visitors from America are a
feature of these first weeks Of Lon

Jimmy drew her to him. But he

There was sadness in it. Yet
Chickie felt a strengthening: felt q

She closed her door when Jimmy
left. She clasped her hands against
her lips. A thing that was gentle

through her. Oh, people loved her

Farewell.

Flowers for her who felt her life
all finished and the beauty of it
gone. Radiance about her, but

Oh. this was kind in Jake-fine,

Helena dear-you are going to
do this. We must see that you do.
In a little while. wehn you are
rested, let me come"
Oh. no; she wouldn't see him
see no one. Never hear a word
of love again. All that was ended
Leave her alone, then she could
keep her lips all quiet; then she
could even smile.
She could look at Jonathan and
smile. She said to him, You are
better than a god-you are" 1t

in his arms as though she were
child. She cried. He whis-
pered: Crying, Chickie girl
we're going home. Don't be cry
ing now, for Jennie-don't do
that, Chickie girl" He murmured
things like that and passed his
rough hand over his face.
Not even day since they had
left. Only day since they had
learned. Long enough to bring
the darkness.
They drove into the hushed and
quiet street, and a light was in
the window. Chickie pressed her
face against her fathers arm.
She said. "Jonathan-don't take
me back-Oh, wish we weren't
here"
Little Jennie-think what to.
day has been to her-come, brave
now-you won't cry when it's
over, will YOU"
And he carried her up the steps.
And in a moment Jennie's hands
were clasped about her face and
they threw it down and wept on
it.
Chickie said-"Mother-oh, moth.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES cry So"
Jennie only said: tChickie dear
my Chickie--"
Someone came from the shadow
then. 1t was Mary. She caught
Chickie in her arms. She said in
oh, if I'd known--if I'd
Known
And then Jonathan carried
Chickie to her bed, Mary knelt
beside her; Mary united her shoes.
She pleaded: Don't let it make a
difference in us. 1t won't make a
difference between us, CHECKER"
Chickie said family: "Yes-oh
Mary, how l want to die
Mary kissed her.
And a long, long while, in the
blessed lapse Of consciousness,
Chickie felt the sweet. cool lips
heard echoing gently: "No--I won't
let it make a diference-after all
these years, Chickie-between us
oh no
Chickie felt that she was dying
and she carried this love Of Mary's
with her-to a darkness and a
peace. She was glad to feel it
close about her
Then the light came and the
sun and there were flowers every
where. Jennie was standing at
her bed. Jennie said: There are
letters, Chickie, dear"
1t was late in the next after

wanted to come. "Chickie, let me

to see you. You can't imagine
how tits hits me. Please-let

Chickie said ooh, so many
flowers, Jennie" The room was
brilliant with them as though the
world were all new blossomed-
tulips and lilies and streams of
the bright blue larkspur. There
