"At present the aims of this

The letter goes on to ask about
conditions in San Quentin prison and
urges the workers to continue their
fight:
I'VE should like to know pre-
cisely the conditions Of your prison
life and your most urgent needs

In commenting upon this letter, j.

International Labor Defense, said
today, this letter from our Russian
comrades, coming in the midst OF
our winter relief campaign for the
wives and children Of the many i'm

greater activity. If the workers in

we in America will now
treble our efforts to make this cam

Miniatures go big in the
dress world where the edict is
that children's clothes should
be miniature copies Of the
latest adult styles. Very much
along these lines is a child's
party frock of deep rose
colored taffeta with, a tiny
three-tiered cape. It is elabo-
rately trimmed with bows to
match the piping.
You will gaze at gauze quite
often this autumn, for sheer
metallic gauze is finding many
purchasers. Such fabrics are
generally severely handled. An

gauze has a\Shirred skirt with
three flounces and a perfectly
plain bodice. It is girdled in

Jabots and revers - both

good details that put this

New Fichus
Scarfs do the trick very
neatly. And the old-fashioned
fichu has been modernized and
used to give soft fullness in
the front.

For Smart
Dresses
BY WILMA LA VILE

Again we say Its smart to
be dull" This time we refer
to the dull fabrics, and the
best Illustration is canton crepe.
It is made into dresses so smart
that you want almost every
one you see.
One of the most delightful
ways of introducing contrast
on dull crepes is the use of
velvet for trimming. Study
the dresses we've sketched today
and see if you don't agree
with us. Velvet is also dull
yet is very striking against the
lusterleSS crepe.
Both these frockS follow the
important fall trends for in
dividuality, femininity and
they are extremely easy to
wear. They have intricate de-
tails yet are graceful and SIM
pie. Their hemlineS are even
and twelve or thirteen inches
from the floor as Paris says
they should be.
The frock with bows is Of
brown canton crepe with velvet
in the same color. Brown, as
you know, is the second best
color for fall. Black is first
and the other frock Is Of black
canton crepe with black velvet.
Notice that the neckline gives
a one-sided effect which Is new
and very typical Of good fall
fashions. The vestee is made
of very fine soft lace and the
cuffs repeat the same theme.
These dainty lingerie touches
are always very smart as they
are in line with the trend to-
wards more elegance and femi-
ninity.
These frocks are from q
Washington shop. They are
typical of the many lovely fash
ions in other shops as well as
in this one. If you would care

The story of her book was
inspired by Count Rene d'Har-
noncourt, whom Mrs. Morrow
met during her stay in Mexico
City. The count is one OF the
celebrities Of the Mexican cap
ital and the possessor Of a
fine collection Of native toys.
Mrs. Morrow urged him to
write a story about his hobby.
but instead he presented her
with a collection Of little
sketches made Of the gay birds
and beasts among them. Mrs.
Morrow then worte the story
herself, picking one particu-
larly charming little painted
pig for the hero. The chill
dren who figure in the story
were drawn from little neigh
bors of the Morrows in Cuer-
navaca, where the family main
tains a weekend abode house.
