PARIS, Aug. S.--Forty little Rus

Partisan public in a delightful ball
let version Of Little Red Riding
Hood, under the direction Of the
well-known ballerina. Madame Smo-

American women residing in Paris.
Tiny Valia Lebedev, just five
years old, in most approved, au-

a little girl goes visiting her grand

age has nothing to do with remark

by the way, is supporting her
whole refugee family by performing
in smart Partisan cafes
The rest of the troupe, not one of
them more than fourteen years Of
age, wore coIorful peasant cos
tunes. with gay kerchiefs over their
little heads. The wolf looked as
ferocious as any that ever came
over the Steppes and, in fact
frightened away many little child
from its seat in the great hall. 1t
was not until he stopped bowling
and began to sing in a superb bass
voice that some of the children con.
scented to came back to their
mothers, laps.
The old grandmother wore a
charming lace bonnet and tight
bodice, and also delighted the au-
dience, with her songs. The wolf, :"
of course, didn't eat her up, as in
the old tale, but just made her hide
away behind a great screen, from
which she later emerged, to the
great glee of all the little tots.
Between the acts delicious Rus
sian tea was served, in real Rus
sian style, from a great samCvar,
and a table gfoaned with Russian
tarts, cakes and ''pascUa.'' the
sweet white cheese which is much
liked by others besides the Rus

RAINS FISH IN MEXICO
ON GALE FROM PACIFIC

MEXICO CITY. Aug s.-Hun-
dreds of small fish rained from the
sky in the state OF Chihuahua, ac-
cording to a report received here
by the minister OF agriculture.
This phenomenon is said to have
occurred during a tremendous rain
storm at Santa Isabel, in Chihua-
hua. The explanation given is that
a waterspout in the Pacific must
have lifted up many surprised fish
from the ocean and they were
blown a hundred miles inland by
gale before they obeyed the law
of gravity.
