Resign After Row
I resigned in the autumn OF
1888 after violent controversy.
It was my intention to renew my
passport and leave the country,
but as there was no Hungarian
consulate in the Soviet Union, the
matter dragged on for months,
and 1 took the occasion to see the
provinces.
This was the period Of the dis
asters which followed the forced
collectivization of the peasants.
While that policy was being car
ried into effect, the peasants,
afraid of losing theiz cattle and
horses, killed about two-thirds Of
the live stock existing in the Soviet
Union.
In addition, large quantities OF
the remaining foodstuffs and cat
tie had to be exported to pay for
the heavy imports of machinery
and raw material required for the
new plants. So bread, sugar, meat
butter, milk, eggs and clothing
had to be rationed again.
Faced with the impoSSiblllty OF
providing for the most urgent
needs by the system OF planned
distribution, the Communist party
was obliged to allow free trade"
to collective farms. returning thus
to the principle of the open mar
ket, But this was only the first
step.
Beginning with the summer OF
1898 the commercial stores" ap-
peared, with a great number OF
deficit products" such as butter
eggs, meat, milk, cigarettes, sau-
sage, cheese, sugar, etc.
Socialist Trade
It goes without saying that the
Communist press and speakers
categorically denied the inaugura-
tion of a new "NEP" Genin's new
economic policy of which, OF
course, everybody spoke. They
wanted to prove that this was
Socialist trade" And if some.
body referred to the socialist
character of this new system, the
average Soviet citizen shrugged
his shoulders. He said:
socialist trade? Well, you
see, during the first five-year
plan we did not live well at all.
We had to stand in line for
everything, and many products
were missing completely.
1--WE received only 600
grammeS of butter month, and
sometimes even less, but if we
got it, the price was only 2Z2
rubIes a kiIo. We got only half
q kilO of meat, but it cost only
/ ruble a kilO. We had to fight
for an order for a suit or a pair
of boots, certainly. And had to
20 ten times to the store to get
them. But these boots cost IL
rubles a pair, a suit so rubles.
And now? No cards required.
"Many things can be had
quite easily. But the prices!
rubIes a kilO of butter, 12O
rubles pair of boots, 500 rubles
Wages?"
In 1881 the average wages were
80 rubles a month, now they are
145 dubles. Is this sufficient to
compensate for the rise in prices?
Can the average worker buy in

do you see buying there? The

Arabian tents flapped in the wind,
Arabian merchants squatted before
them. inside were coffee urns and
pottery, all manner of foreign
wares. Camels stood with tails to
the wind and stopped chewing their
incessant cuds. Maybe they had
mouths full of sand.
To the south of the set was a

two hundred Foreign Legionnaires.

he does go all the way in be-
ing a mimic. Take especial care
that your hair is beautifully done
when you wear these hats q. . and
do let a few curls peek from be-
meath their brims That's where
their greatest charm lies the
sharp contract between the femin-
ity of your face and hair, and the
severity of their lines. In my opin
ion the women who wear these hats
most becomingly, are the feminine
types.
Chinese Hats
The Chinese influence in the
spring picture is an inevitable as
rice with chop suey! I'VE seen it
again and again in hats, and like
it no end. Most honorable hats are
those which trace their ancestry to
the coolie. They are seen over and
over in beretS, and one of the nice
things about them is that they go
as equally well with tailored clothes
as with dreSsy ones. There is some
thing casual about them that I
like.
A bit more pretentious are the
pagoda brimS, and the ones where
crown and brim merge into each
other in an utterly new fashion.
There are other Chinese influ-
ence not quite so obvious to
you and me, but none the less i'm
portant. They tell me that many of
the high togueS are direct steals
from Ming figurines, and some
from the fantastic coiffures of the
geiSha girls. One or another of
these Chinese hats is going to suit
you. For myself, I stick to the
coolie type as the most becoming.
Flemish Inflence
There was a Flemish exhibit in
Paris and exhibitions are the
essence of life to the designers. At
the mention of one they sharpen
their wits and their scissors, and it
isn't long before we are wearing the
results. The Flemish off-face high
toques that perch back on the brow
nnocently are extremely flattering.
Some peaSantiSh bonneiS and
prieStly saucer brims also thank
this exhibit for their being.
Historical Hats
The sixteenth century lives again
in a play in Paris and some of the
hats I've SEEN Coachman hats,
rolled brims and shallow crowns
like Henry III is said to have worn,
are sprinkled in shops here and
there. Some of the cleverest and
most flattering hats, they tell me,
