Southern Russia, he signed a
contract at Vevey for several
hundred "vignerons" of the Can
ton de Vaud to undertake the
job. Off they went on foot, from
the Lake of Geneva to Odessa,
two or three thousand miles,
each man with a gun and a
Bible, and became an integral
part of the province of Bessara-
bia, which is now Rumanian.
There their descendants still
produce some of the most de-

ing about the various vintages
and their respective qualities.
He says that viticulture was
first introduced into Switzer-
land by the ancient Romans
and subsequently developed by
the monks of the numerous
monasteries. Now the country
possesses the most modern wine
pressing installations and eel
lars. and several state testing
stations.
Wine Districts
The best known wine growing
districts are the sheltered
slopes surrounding the lakes OF
Geneva and Neuchatel, as we'll
as the sunny Canton of Valals,
from which the stronger wines
come, among them Pendant du
Valais, with various types from
the popular one to the select
Montibeux. Also from this
district come the Johannis-
berger Goutte dor (the Golden
Drop, king of the white wines,
and the soft and fiery NAL
voisie.
Perhaps the Swiss white wine
best known abroad is the ia
NOUS Neuchatel, dry, spar
king and peppery drink, stim-
ulating in winter. and refresh
ing in summer. This is a par
ticularly delicious wine to serve
with fish-trout especially. An
interesting thing about the
Neuchatel is the story that
when true Neuchatel wine is
poured into a glass the rising
bubbles form a five-pointed
star in the center.
There are also the white
wines of the Canton de Vaud,
grown on the slopes rising from
Lake Geneva. Here the De-
zaley ranks foremost. This is
excellent with fish, chicken or
veal.
The Dole du Valais. the red
Neuchatel, fits in well with game
or roasts.
Malvoisie is an excellent deS-
sert wine, and after the meal
one may have glass of Kirsch,
a liqueur native to the German
speaking, northern part of Swift
zerland. This district also pro-
duces a very nice red wine, Hal
lauer.
The Swiss wines are treated
in more or less the same manner
as the French, but are perhaps
little more rugged, like the coun-
try from which they come.

He Gave Her His Signet Ring

He Gave Her His Signet Ring
Dear Miss Fairfax:
About year and half ago
I met a man for whom I
learned to care very dearly. He
took me out occasionally, and
during the first months of our
acquaintance told me he loved
me and gave me his signet ring,
which convinced me that he
was in earnest.
He has been working steadily,
but says he makes very little.
Lately he just drifted away,
and when I met him again he
told me he didn't want to waste
my time, as he could not afford
to marry, and it would be bet.
ter if 1 forgot him. I asked
if he wanted his ring back, but
he told me to keep it always
as remembrance.
Shall try to reason with
him, as l CANNOT possibly 1OA'
get him? B. E.
It seems to me that you
haven't very much to hope for,
in this case, my dear girl. When
a man tells you to forget him
and that he can't afford to
marry, it means usually he is
trying to let you down gently.
If he cared for you in the
right way, he would be ambi-
tious to make good and
wouldn't think so much about
wasting your time. That sort
of prudence doesn't belong to
the masculine bag of tricks.
Please don't sit around and
NOPE. Remember that grand old
adage: There are as good fish

shirred lastex band, which is
far from severe.
Lastex for Trimming
We showed lastex in many
things, so that by now you must
be familiar with it. But it is
really just coming into it's own
this season. You'll find it used
not only where it can be of
great service, by holding some
garment in shape or fitting it
beautifully, but it is often used
to shirr the material, merely as
a form of trimming.
Range of ColOrs
Sedate colors, suitable for
street and daytime wear are
found in the linen blouses;
black, brown, blue or white.
The rayon taffeta colors are
much gayer-red, turquoise, egg

materials, is priced $129, and
comes in sizes "a to 38. The
lastex band and short sleeves
assure a perfect fit.

all his own. He is very fond
of attention and is ready to
return with equal fervor what
ever favors of this sort are be-
slowed upon him.
Both alert and sensitive, he
is seldom Snappy or quarrel
some; hence, he makes an ideal

Children Enjoy
Fairgrounds
At tHome
BY MARTHA WINSLOW

With the near approach Of
spring and summer, it might
be we'll to look over the back
yard, with an eye to its posi-
bilities as a playground for the
children.
1t costs very little to convert
the yard into a real paradise
for the children. one to which
they can invite their playmates
and where they can play under
mothers watchful eye.
Easily Made
Certain pieces of apparatus,
such as a SandboX, swing hori-
Zontal bars, etc, can be made
very easily at home. A plain,
smooth board may be placed
across a low wooden horse"
as a see-saw. Such a board
may be used also as a slide or
placed across two low supports
and used by the smaller chill
dren to practice balance.
A horizontal bar fastened Sc
curely to uprights and placed
at the proper height, or a set
of climbing bars with cross
pieces at various heights. gives
the larger children opportu-
nifty to use their arm and
shoulder muscles.
A small movable ladder may
be used for climbing when
there is some adult supervision.
or can be supported in a hori-
zontal position on uprights just
high enough for the children to
grasp the rungS with their
hands over their heads and
swing from rung to rung.
Two or three wooden pack
ing boxes of different sizes
with nails safely driven into
the wood, provide material for
playing house, store, or other
imaginative games. A few sepa-
rate boards, not too large or
heavy, for the children to carry
about will interest them for
hours. So also will a ColleC-
ton of small boxes or large
blocks made like hollow boxes.
Valuable Lessons
A slide not too high. with a
ladder leading up to the plat
form, gives the children an
opportunity to learn sureness
of step, balance, fearlessness.

There are just about as many
types as there are in the reg

you usually pay more. You'll
find tailored shirtwaist types,
ruffly little blouses that are
not much more than a guimpe,

excellent fashion points, for
they usually sell out in a hurry,
come and go, so are always the
very newest thing.
Many Good Features
We're showing one today, a
blouse that is very surprising in
the many good features it has
for the price. It is made either
of rayon taffeta or of linen. E.
the former rather dressy, the
latter sports-like, and suitable
for the most tailored suit.
It's one of those in-between

SHAN-KAR WINS
HIGH ACCLAIM
IN CAPITAL
BY RONALD THORNE

Dy AsOANNAA~ 4AAOAsANAA
Shan-Kar, Hindu dancer, with
his corps Of dancers and musi-
clans, made his first appearance
in Washington at Constitution
Hall last night and was greeted
by one Of the largest audiences
Of the season-an audience which.
moreover, proved highly appre-
ciative, since three encores were
demanded during the course Of
his entertainment. Shan-Kar was
presented under the local man
agement Of the T. Arthur Smith
Bureau.
We have had q vogue Of Orien-
tai music Of late, but for the most
part it has been Transcribed Tor
convention occidental 1nStru-
m ents. Shan-Kar, however,
brought his own musicians and
musical instruments from India,
and while the whole scheme OF
Indian music is unfamiliar to
Western ears, its rhythms are in
teresting and moving, and there
can be no question Of the ability
of the native musicians to create
the effects they seek, as they re-
vealed fully in the thrilling mar.
tial accompaniment to the sword
dance.
This sword dance, indeed, was
one of the high points Of the pro
gram, and the number which first
set the entire house into applause.
Shan-Kar is a clever Snowman, as
well as an artist, and the vivid
costumes, exotic rhythms and
utter assurance Of his troupe were
admirably displayed in this offer
ing.
The most ambitious number on
the program was the dance drama
Tandava Nrittya, legend OF the
god Shiva. In this Shan-Kar
was assisted by Simkie, Debendra
and Kanak-Lata, the principal
dancers of the troupe.
In novelty, exotic coloring
and vivid impact the presenta-
ton last evening was a treat to
the Capital. Among the solo and
duet numbers that won special
commendation from the audience
were Snanum, featuring Simkie
and Kanak-Lata, Dance Of the
Hunter, by Debendra, and 1ndra,
