China Hopes
For Japanese,
Russian War
BY CHARLES T.. STEWART,
Central Press COlumniSt.

Washington, July 28.-If Russia and
Japan finally get to fighting, mill
tary men, diplomats and others who
are familiar with warfare and Orien-
tai conditions agree that it will be
a grand thing for China, but they
are not so sure that it will be health
full for the Soviet folk in Russia. 1t
doubtless will be bad for the mikado,
too. In fact, many observers think
revolution is a distinct possibility in
Japan already. However, they also
consider it possibility in Russia.
China stands to profit from big
Russo-Japanese clash anyway.
Chinese representatives here are
all bland Oriental smiles at the pros
pect. It may seem uncivilized to be
pleased at the threat of spreading
strife on earth, but it is easy to un-
derstand why the Chinese like the
looks of it in the present instance.

IF YOU want to be all set for a
full and gay Spring, have these
three dresses in your wardrobe.
Something for morning, something
for street and a lovely frock for
afternoon parties. All three are
easy to make. And you can have
the complete group for a fraction
of what you would usually spend,
if you make them at home.
Shirtwaist Style.
Trim and tailored, this is the ia
vorite silhouette for Spring. The
skirt with kick pleat back and
front is fun to wear, very comfort
able for walking and going about
your daily work. Note the yoke
top and inverted pleat in back of
bodice to permit perfect freedom.
1t is grand spectator sports
dress and will make up beauti-
fully in silk crepe, rayon print or
cotton fabrics.
Princess for Morning.
You'll feel sweet as sixteen in
this pretty square-necked princess
dress with fitted lines. The sill
houette is nodded and slim. Note
the pretty sleeves, pulled high, to
make the waistline look even
smaller. Choose a pretty cotton
print or one of the new rayons to
make a dress as charming as the
one shown. You'll find the pattern
complete with sew chart telling
you exactly how to proceed.
Fitted Lines for Afternoon.
Look lovely and picturesque in
this frock on nodded lines with
uplift at the waist and soft shir-
ring in front of bodice. The roll
collar and low v neckline is very
slenderizing. You'll enjoy the
good lines, the flattery of this
dress and its grand variability.
Whether it is a luncheon for six or
a dinner at eight, you'll be cor
rectly dressed in this frock.
1876 is designed for sizes 80, "a,

a wide binding or bordering of AMI
mated print to which a gypsy sash
is matched. Then again the entire
bolero is of the print with sash to
match.
With object in mind of calling at
tention to the widely diverse trends
interpreted in the now-so-important
bolero costume, the three models
were carefully selected from among
showing of advance fashions de-
signed by the Style Creators of Chi
cago in the wholesale district. These
are typical of what you will find in
leading shops and departments dur
ing the coming months.
In the center of the group we pre-
sent charming dress of navy
crepe, its modish bolero effectively
trimmed in white nailheads. "They
say" navy is going to be an out
standing color choice for spring. In
fact, all blues are good with espe-
cial emphasis on the new gray
blues. Here's another pointer" try
with navy bolero suit a blouse
and sash in a soft violet shade,
with which wear a boutonniere of
spring violets, with plenty of self
leaves in cool green.
Sugar sacking in the very, very
new wheat color makes the costume
to the left. 1t has brown print
silk blouse with sash to match. The
meticulously tailored bolero has the
smart military influence.
Ideal for spring is the sheer wool
crepe in beige outfit pictured to the
right. The revers in tuxedo style
are of cat lynx, the tawny colorings
of which tune admirably to the gen.
eral scheme of things. The fur
trimmed bolero is a fashion high
light that is destined to shine bright
ly in the style parade, so be sure to
keep your eye upon it. In conclud-
ing we just thought you might like
to know that in the shops you can
find the most fascinating boleros of
colorful suede with belts or tie
sashes to match. Wear them with
any skirt or dress and you'll be
classed with the best-dressed.

LATE BELT MODES
IN HUNGARY STYLES
BY CHERIE NICHOLAS

Every nation has some form of
art particular to its people. In Hun
gary, little nation in southern Eu-
rope, this folk art takes the form of
exquisite embroidery that has be-
come famous throughout the world.
Weisz of Budapest has adapted
the traditional patterns of the peas
ants and styled them for the newest
belt modes. Skilled peasants, both
men and women, have transferred
the gay designs to linen and hand
doomed jute belts.
The linen belts in natural or chalk
white have bright wooden flowers
embroidered on them. The edges
are finished with button-hole stitch
of the cheerful yarn. All of them
are finished with amusing and
unique shaped buckles of natural
colored wood, hand-painted with
tiny flowers.
The hand-loomed jute belts that
are perfect with suits, sweaters
and light wooden frocks are also
embroidered in bright yarns.
These belts are washable and of
fast colors> They are in time for
the crepe frocks of spring and sum-
mer.

Is sweeping through all fashiondom
like wildfire. Both in suits and
dresses the bolero has leaped into
the very foreground of the mode
with such flourish none can es-
cape it and what's more no one with
an eye to chic and charm will want
to escape a fashion so flattering,
so kind to waistlines, so make-you-
look-young as do these new bo-
lero sflhouettes.
You can get most any type of
bolero outfit you happen to want
which counts a lot when you are
choosing a fashion "first" for
spring. A simple tailored model is
very practical in that with supply
of diverse blouses and collection
of intriguing accessories your bo-
lero costume comes well nigh
serving as a whole wardrobe in it.
