20 PERISH IN ARCTIC
AS SOVIET SHIP SINKS
Radio Flashes Last Farewell to
World as Storm-Battered Steamer
Plunges to Bottom

BY the Associated Press.
LONGYEAR CITY, Spitz5ergen, May
8.-Tha story of a shipwreck in which
a gale-hammered Russian steamer
carried 20 sailors to the bottom of the
Arctic was told today.
"A last farewell to everybody. We
are sinking" said a message flashed
by the salvage vessel Rouslan, craft
of 300 tons, before she plunged to the
bottom off South Cape, Spitzbergen
several hundred miles north Of the
Arctic Circle.
The ship sank near the end of April
but details of the disaster were lack
ing until a party of Norwegians re-
turned from visit to the Soviet
Colony at Barentsburg. in the Spitz-
bergen archipelago. The wireless fare
we'll was picked up at Barentsburg.
The Rouslan was towing the Soviet
icebreaker Maluguin from Spitzbergen
where it had been stranded in pack
ice. A tremendous gale on April "a
separated the ships: the Maluguin was
blown on to the ice and the Rouslan
sprang a leak.

that example of millinery architecture
worn by Helen Twelvetrees in Dis

the crown of the turban is a fine tall
one also.
The leaning tower model is one that
will first make you laugh and then gasp
at its chic Created in white linen

folds, each layer becoming slightly
smaller toward the top. Four or five
of the upper folds bend off toward the

of violet doeskin complete the picture.

How 1t Started
The Word Harry"
BY JEAN NEWTON.

The Word Harry"
In the rare instances when writer's
have sought a word to describe a ma
licious vulture-like woman, one to
whom the odious qualities of "a Kan
tippe" were as nothing, they have
called her harpy. And the word
has found its way into popular speech
where it is frequently used without
an understanding of its true signifi-
canoe.
Harry" comes to us from the par
lance of Greek mythology. In an &C
count of the adventures of Aeneas and
his band of refugees from their sacked
city of Troy, when the wanderers land
their ship on the island of the Harpies
we find this description of the ladies
they found there:
The daughters of the earth
and sea,
The dreadful snatchers, who like
women were
Down to the breast, with scanty
course black hair
About their heads, and dim eyes
ringed with red.
And bestial mouths set round with
lips of lead,
But from their gnarled necks there
began to spring
Half hair, half feathers, and sweep

"HE bridge and boat is the name
given the new applique pattern
offered today, which has been
l. designed especially for readers
of this department This pat
tern is one of set of designs which
together form what I am calling 1.-The
Canton pattern. because they are in the
spirit of the quaint old blue and white
china which is so designated. Blue and
white is one of the wonderful old color
schemes Of Chinese porcelains In fact
the very name. blue and white, is as
cribed to some of this ware just as
Canton china, the willow pattern, etc.,
are similarly ascribed
The fact that the color and the pat
tern are so definitely coupled is suffi-
cient reason for using blue and white
for the textile development of this
bridge and boat Canton design. A fine
sprigged or checked gingham is recon-
mended for the applique. For the
former the ground should be white and
the sprigs blue, unless the background
for the applique is blue, in which case
a blue background with sprigs would
bring out the design better. Avoid
large checked gingham. Select the
finest checks, in light or medium shades
of blue preferably.
by unltlng the Dlue anu Wiille Coioi
scheme with the Canton pattern a
charming Chinese effect is produced.
However, this does not bar the use OF
other colors with the Canton pattern
should they fit into room schemes bet
ter. The design is distinctly Chinese
and this will preserve the Chinese
spirit
The bridge and boat pattern comes
with separate motifs of Cd bridge ex-
tending from one tree-topped bank to
another bank, and (2) Chinese boat

WINTER
By ID. C. PEATTIE.
Spring Flowers.

r. VEN a few warm days, days OF
l. sun and thaw, if they chance to
come at this time of year, will
IL bring out the snowdropS in the
lawns of those who are so fortu-
nate as to have any, so far-sighted as
to plant them. In the bleak Winters OF
the Great Lakes region, it is not unusual
for a snoWdrop to appear in the thaW
of January. In England this lovely lt-
tie flower is often called Fair Maid OF
February" The same sort OF weather
will bring out the chickweed and speed
well on the lawns of the Mall but these
are little waits of no account. Ihe
snowdrop is princess of early Spring
flowers.
It is not, alas, q native wild flower,
but on the Riviera it grows wild in
those unreal, dreamy crags behind the
great pleasure cities With us 1t must
be bought. planted and not counted on
for a long life. Our rainy Springs and
Summers tend to rot all those dubious
plants that make an early blooming in
the dry, hot countries. For few years,
however, snowdropS will come up, and
when they come they are the faireSt OF
all welcome sights to the flower hungry.
They have the elegance of orchids,
the daintiness of lily of the valley and
the boldness of the first swallow-have
the unf1inching snowdrops." The
Germans call them snow bells and
the French pierce the snow"
Snowf1akes are possessed of the same
happy qualities. I'm speaking, of course
the snowflake. which is very like q
rare Winter viSitant, the snowflake. In
the snokfake, which is very like the
lily of the valley in many ways, each
petal is delicately tipped with green,
and some one has spoken of this petal
as "a snowflake with green of living
flower of the Mediterranean lands,
where Winter means nothing more
than a rude wind, some days of driving
rain, and snow seen on the glittering
peaks of the Alps to the north.
If you don't grow these flowers in
your garden they will do as WELL or
really much better, in pots in the win
COW. Nodding and laughing there, they
make the Winter days seem less dark
and tedious They are far more un-
usual specimens for the Winter window
garden than the Chinese lilies" which
are, of course, really narciSSi Cor must
we say narciSSuSeS)?
I'm far from casting aspersions on
the Chinese lilies. On the contrary,
they are among the most delightful
Winter house plants on the market.
The florists advise you, with rare good
taste, to put them in a shallow bowl,
with some white gravel or little pebbles
in it, and then just let them grow No
fuss, no muss; only at last little forest
of pure white and fragrant blooms. The
cost is small, the delight is great, and
they have not solitary drawback as
enemies of Wintry gloom, unless you are
one of those possessive people who do
not like to have the duplicate of things
of which others boast. The gardening
folk who take this attitude are not real
flower lovers.
