This falls fashions displayed slim,

men who were oyerplump could not
fit into a concave diaphragm frock.
Those who were oyer-thin lacked
the required curves. Only the slen-
der women with a good figure could
make the fashion grade. The rest
threw up their hands in despair.
Nor did their fashion worries end
with their figures and frocks. They
mounted even to their heads. Paris
hairdressers announced the Danish
ment of the page-boy bob with its
long curls and launched a new
couture swept up from the face
and neck.
American women generally. how
ever, found it less flattering and
less youthful than the longer curl
err curled couture. Furthermore,
they complained, many hairdress-
ers did not understand how to ham
die it or adapt it to their faces.
Those VINO persevered met a

dresses. Many women took one de-

PIONEER FUND
ACCOUNT MADE
Eiler Hansen Gives State
ment on Christmas Con-
tributions to Pioneers

Filler Hansen, Superintendent of
the Pioneers Home at Sitka, has
submitted the following accounting
of the Pioneers Home Christmas
fund which explains itself fully,
and also makes suggestions:
On behalf of the pioneers,
thank everyone that contributed to
their Christmas Fund. 1t was a
generous and thoughtful act. To
nearly all of my 1872 men, it is the
only cash they have for an entire
year. Anyone that could witness
the expressions Of sincere gratitude
of the recipients of this money
would feel that their gift was worth
while.
1t would be very wonderful to
contemplate that in time a trust
fund could be set up that would
insure a perpetual fund for the use
of the residents of the Home.
This could be easily accomplished
If some of the Alaskans that have
become wealthy would make pro-
viso in their will for this purpose.
Some of the future winners of
the ice pool might also become
willing contributors to fund of this
nature.

NEW YORK-The fashion twelve
months of 1887 was a year of head
aches
Styles were knotty problem to
those who designed them, tried to
sell them or essayed to wear them.
In the first place the coronation
influence launched a vogue fog
regal splendor and turning out
regal splendor" at SLOTS is no small
trick. 1t kept designers working
overtime.
Next came the vogue for the cor
selette waistline with its concave
diaphragm inspired by the clothes
and figure of the Duchess OF Wins
dor. These too were difficult to de-
sign and make practical for women
whose diaphragm, to put in mildly
were not concave.
The fashion marts were likewise
faced with a first class head
ache" Reports from the market

MOSCOW, Jan. 13.-Mme. Pau
lima Karpovskaya Zchemchuzhina,
who built up the Soviet Govern
ment's business in perfumes, soaps
and lipsticks, is perhaps the only
woman in the world entitled to sit
with her husband in cabinet meet
ings
Madame Zhemchuzhina, whose
name would be Pauline Pearl in
English, is the wife of Premier Wy
achesiaff Molotoff in private life
She is Vice Commissar of Food IN
dustry in which post she is assist
ant to Anastas Mikoyan, Armen-
ian head of one of the largest food
producing and distributing organi-
cations in the world.
Now in her middle thirties, Pau
lima Zhemchuzhina has been mar
ried to the 47-year-old Premier
about ten years. During that time
she bore a child, now about seven
years old, and developed the Soviet
cosmetics industry into one of the
most successful enterprises in the
national economy.
Headed Perfume Trust
Much of her success IS attributed
to visits abroad, particularly to the
United States, where she was the
guest of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
at the White House in 1886. From
the United States, Madame Molo-
toff brought machinery and beauty
shop technique for the manufacture
and application of cosmetics for hei
fair comrades.
Promoted from manager of the
Tezhe perfus trust Of Moscow e
head of the whole cosmetics indus
try. she put both American machin-
erv and technique to work to pro-
vide Soviet women with beautity-
ing products, which Madame Molot-
off regards as necessities.
Beauty shops, which Madame Mo-
lotoff describes as artistic have
been opened in Moscow and the lar
ger cities in the provinces. Some
of those in Moscow, in architectur
al attractiveness and luxury, reflec'
ideas she gained in America.
Scents Popular
The cosmetics trust now produces
more thpn 100 kinds of soap where
there were only six in the early days

When it is time to serve the des-
sert, cover the oranges with a
chilled, boiled custard which has
been favored with almond, lemon
and vanilla extracts. Sprinkle the

more convenient to sprinkle them
over foods broiled in outdoor fire
places. Salt, pepper, paprika, cell

parsley make a good combination.
When tall candles don't fit their

until they become embedded in the

Racks often are heater and more
convenient than hooks for towels.
