TINOPLE-Turkish women
are exhorted by the constantinople
daily, "The Republic not to adopt
amidst all their new western prac-
tices, the Anglo-Saxon woman's "sol-
dierly stride" The sheet devoted to
women, recent innovation of this
newspaper, lays down the following
rules as to the proper method of
walking for the ladylike:
"Do not drag your fet, but slide
them gently along the pavement DO
not waddle from side to side or move
your shoulders or swing your arms.
Take short, dainty steps - long
stride is unlovely in women and
above all, don't rush. Keep your
eyes on a high point directly ahead
of you and appear to see nothing"
Although the older generation of
Turkish women is not likely to in
fringe upon any of these iprecepts, the
majority of younger women have de-
clared open war on the traditional
oriental method of strolling lam
gurously through life. One of the
most startling manifestations is the
cross country race now being or
ganized by the girls section of the
Galata Serai sports club of Con-
stantinople. 1t will be the first event
of the kind for Moslem girls in the
history of Turkey.
DURHAM-Mners wives through
out Englands coal fields have taken
steps to prevent a general strike sn
May when the governments subsidy
to the coal industry comes to an end.
The women have been aroused be-
cause the coal Qyners and the work
ers representatives have not come
to agreement. The women them
selves are to go direct to the coal
owners and plead with them to take
the initiative in arranging confer
ences with their men.
Railway officials have arranged 10
take 10000 women to London to par
ticipate in a demonstration against
a strike April II.
LONDON-Superstiti is about to
wreck the plans Of dress designers
to make green the prevailing color
for spring. Englishmen as well as
Englishwomen have an aversion to
the emerald shades that is born with
them as the fear of the boogaY,
only it lasts much longer.
To wear green is considered un-
lucky and in the provisional districts
"a superstition exists that if one
buys a green dress or suit they will
be compelled to buy a black mourn
ing outfit before the year is out.
This strange complex was common
among the Victorians I. Burne Jones,
the great royal academian, rarely
used green and Desraeli had No. 10
Downing entirely gedecoAated be-
cause most of the rooms were done
in shades of green.
LONDON-The ambition of every
west end mannequin is to take part
in a dress parade attended by roy
atty. But it is only since the boost
of English dress materials that any
lady of the royal family has spent
an afternoon watching the arts IF
the model and studying the effects
of the home industry materials.
Princess Mary watched one of these
parades, to be followed by Princess
Helena Victoria who attended one vt
a court dressmaker's salon. She dis
cussed silks, wool art silks and vel
vets.
LENINGRAD- Royal napkins and
tablecloths belonging to the Roman
off family are in enormous demand
in the United States. Entirely new
and bearing the coat of-arms of En-
peror Nicholas, tens of thousands of
pieces of this table linen have been
sold by the state to American buy
ers, who sent them home to rela-
tives and friends as gifts.
The napkins are of the finest Hol-
land linen, are large enough to serve
as tea tablecloths and cost IS cents
each.
LONDON-Women win never wear
what physicians consider is perfect
dress because they would view it as
ugly and "frumpish,' said Sir Rob
ert Armstrong Jones, famous English
doctor in lecture on clothing at
Gresham college.
Women dress better than men,
however, from the point of view Of
health" declared Sir Robert, who
pointed out that British men. among
other things, erred too often in wear
ing woolen pajamas at night.
