and they only smoke occa-

about the drinking is true of

carry leather bags alike
which simply fascinated us.
Of different colored leather,
they are small with Upper
tops and suspended from
long leather straps. These
are carried by the caddies,
along with their golf clubs,
and contain golf balls, tees,
etc. All the lady golfers in

There's a new booklet out on
blankets, which gives you full
information, all about how
they should behave, and how
to buy, keep and wash them.
It's well worth investigating.
Quoting from it, I'll sum up a
few pointers.
Warmth in the Nap
1t seems that the nap on a
wool blanket is all-important,
for it is the nap that keeps
you warm. Wool is made up of
Springy, crinkly fibers, each one
covered with tiny scales. While
these scales tend to make the
fibers cling and interlock, the
SpringineSS keeps them apart.
With long fiber wool used,
and the nap brushed well up,
the fibers make little pockets
all over the blanket, which act
as insulators, much as the air
space does in thermoS bottle.
Thus a blanket with long,
fleecy nap is so much warmer
than any blanket without much
nap, no matter how much wool
it has in it.
Wool Preferred
Wool, because it can be
brushed into so much more and
better nap, is warmer than cot
ton, and should always be
chosen for winter. And, re-
member, the longer and thicker
the nap the more warmth the
blanket will have.
Blankets must be wide enough
to hang well off the sides of
the bed, and long enough to
tuck in and also cover your
shoulders, without pulling your
toes down. They can be single
or double. but If you buy really
fine blankets you'll find that a

The tunic is Russian in inspi-
ration, though it appears in
some other countries too. But
our tunic is pretty thoroughly
Russian and especially when it
is of the blouse type, rather than
as part of the dress. Such tunics
seem to be increasing in popu-
larity every day.
Wrapped Waistlines
Wrapped high waistlineS, in
the swathed manner, can be at
tributed to many countries like
wise, but like to think of them
as Russian or Spanish. 1t takes
slim ribs to wear Swathed waists,
but nothing is so flattering,
when you have no flesh about
the midriff.
Cossack turbans are returning
too. High, crushed down, or
medium, they are nevertheless
descended straight from the
Russian turban. They are
nearly always becoming. both to
older and younger women, and
have snap and dash, when cor
rectly worn.
Fur TurbanS
Fur makes many turbanS, and
nothing could be much better
looking than fur hat and muff
to match the trimming on your
coat.

as the belt and pockets, are fas-
tened by plastic and metal clips

Buttons in every form are

Russian Influence

Russian recognition is obvious
in many Of the new models,
especially is this so of coats. A.
charming coat of the CoSsack
type is in diagonal wooden with
Persian lamb and a wide leather
belt. The fur is in narrow
bands at the bodice as well as
the side of the high neck and
the cuffs.

difficult problems to face. Take Wis

lette Is seeking reelection. La Toilette
supported Roosevelt for President in
1894, campaigned for him. He is
running now as an independent pro-
gressive. The President, in recent
Green Bay, Wis. address, praised the
Senator and virtually gave him ad-
ministration Endorsement. Some of
the Democrats in Wisconsin, however,
want to put forward their own party
candidate. Whether the suave Chair
man Lewis will be able to arrange
matters there remains to be seen.
There are some practical questions
involved. For example, If the Demo-
Gratis in Wisconsin swing in behind
La Toilette, will he, as Senator, join
with the Democrats in matters of
Senate organization, or will he con-
tinue to sit on the Republican side
of the chamber and to vote with the
G.. 0. P. on such matters?
Cutting Is Problem.
New Mexico and the situation there,
where Senator Bronson Cutting, Re-
publican supporter Of the new deal, is
a candidate for reelection, presents
another problem for Chairman Lewis.
Cutting has not yet received the ad-
ministration's blessing, and he may
not receive it If Representative Dennis
Chavez, Democrat, insists upon run
ming for the Senate. Senator Ship
stead of Minnesota, Farmer-Laborite,
is up for reelection. He, too, has been
a supporter of the Roosevelt new deal
in the Senate. But the Democrats
have nominated there Representative
Einar Hoidale for the Senate. The
only hope of beating Shipstead would
be for the Democrats and Republicans
to make common cause against the
Senator, which would be an exceed
ingly difficult maneuver to bring about.
Senator Lewis later will come East
and go into New England. The Demo-
Gratis hope to elect Senator in Rhode
Island, and another in Connecticut

BLED, Yugoslavia, August 18.-
Prince George, the fourth Of Great
Britain's royal sons, was revealed to-
day as the focal point of plot-with
its object matrimony.
The blood of the plotter is as royal
blue as that of the prince, for a
high authority said that 1t is King
Alexander himself, who wishes to see
Prince George marry Princess Marina,
third daughter of Prince Nicholas and
Princess Olga of Greece.
Prince George Is here now, at the
express invitation of Yugoslavia's
King and is staying as the Kings
guest in the royal Summer palace.
Prince Paul Negotiator.
The actual negotiations, said the
authority, had been assigned to the
luent-tongued rince Paul, a nephew
of Alexander and regarded as very
close to the King. Paul, who is an
oxford graduate, speaks English
fluently and thus is regarded as
peculiarly fitted to speak to George of

his 81 years of life.
There were those who believed that
suggestions of marriage between the
prince of Great Britain and the
princess of Greece might not fall on
unwilling ears, for Marina, now 27
years old, inherited from her father,
a brother of the late King Constantine
of Greece, all his pleasing personal
qualities as well as the beauty and
charm Of her Russian mother.
Spends Day With Princess.
The prince, who flew all the way
from London to Bled, spent a good
part of the day chatting and walking
with Princess Marina.
There was as yet no definite indi-
cation that the couple intend to marry
or that the princes visit to this beauti-
full castle surrounded by mountains,
lakes and forests had matrimonial
motive.
The princess, who was educated in
Athens, Paris and London, speaks
fluent English, French, Greek, Rus
sian and German and is talented in
