THIS SEASON’S PRINTS ARE
EITHER FLOWERY OR STRIPED
r"\o YOU like to sew? If you do,
now is tho time to be making up
any number of simple little daytime
frocks for the coming months.
Wouldn’t it be worthwhile to cut and
plan and stitch, stitch, stitch if the
effort netted results such as arc shone
In this picture? Attractive through
and through arc these dresses whether
you take It from the standpoint of the
way they are made or from their ma
terials.
When print meets print this season,
one Is apt to be flowery and the other
striped, after the manner illustrated,
and if not stripes then plaids are sure
to appear on the scene. Which gives
you your cue, dear reader, when It
comes t-t selecting prints for frocks
to wenr all through the Informal day
time hours.
It really does not matter whether we
consider the new prints and stripes
such as fashions the gowns pictured
from the standpoint of silk or of
smart cottons, for there is quite a
rivalry between them, and as to their
designs and gay colorings they run
much the same. In the up-to-date
wardrobe there will be a goodly collec
tion of each.
From the silk point of view, de
signers consider the small crepe print
a necessity for going about in the
| practical daytime hours, a soft, light
i quality of crepe de chine being pre-
I ferred to the heavier flat crepes. One
of the arguments advanced In favor of
lightweight is that It works so
successfully Into fine pleatings. And
THE SEASON’S LATEST HATS
here’s u pointer for the home dress
maker—when In doubt, trim the print
frock you are making with lots of
little line pleatlugs. Finish the hem
line of the skirt with a pleating of the
material, border the over-blouse or
jacket with it, also the sleeves and
tlie caiied, scarfed or surplice neck
line us the case may he.
To tiie woman looking for “Idens"
preparatory to cutting Into the new
material she lias just bought or de
i elded to buy, the dross to the left
offers u number of intriguing sugges
tions. The two-button front fasten
ing gives a glimpse of an organdie
vesteo, the wide collar accenting u
youthful neckline. Contrast piping
is a dressmaker touch which Is widely
employed tills season. The wide soft
belt with a bow Is also au important
styling note.
The striped model could be, accord-
Ing to preference, either a two-piece
dress with a one-piece appearance or
a really and truly two-piece.
The Season’s Hats.
As to the new hats, the quality
of being chic depends upon the qual
ity of being pretty and becoming. One
might almost say that the whole
scheme of millinery for spring and
summer centers primarily around the
one word —becomingness.
Evidently milliners everywhere are
holding this thought for it’s no trick
at all to And a becoming hat this sea-
son. The shops are full of ’em. Every
known type of hat Is answering to the
role call from the new sailors to the
caplike toques which set at such a
perilous angle on the back of the
head, and which ore at this moment
the idol of Paris. There’s all sorts
of blcornes and tricornes and halo
hats and the much exploited Watteau
shapes which call for pretty posies
and perky bows on their bandeaux.
A whole lot depends on the pose
of a hat, this season. The French
women have mastered the art to per
fection, especially when it comes to
wearing the caps or toques which they
consider so decidedly smart and which
they set at an angle quite like is
shown at the top of the group Illustrat
ed herewith. These tiny chapeaux are
made principally of line Jersey mate
rials or in soft crocheted straw or
wool, and some of the smartest
Tarisiennes have Insisted on topping
their spring costumes with caps of
velvet which, worn with a wee veil os
pictured, In the top circle, carry a
convincing style message.
Most of the now brims are lifted off
the face in some way or other. The
idea is to show the hair at the sides
but not at the back and to reveal
ns much of the forehead as possible.

and that he bad found the solution in
the young girl’s presence. And some
thing like hate and disgust began to
characterize his scrutiny of Mrs.
Krassln; a little cynical smile curled
his lip as he looked at her.
Musia’s heart sank; for she seemed
to understand by :hnt small disdainful
smile that their cause was lost. If he
had spoken bruski.v bis denial, she
would not have been more sure—and
ret her mother did not seem to feel it.
Something in Loris’ bold look at her
tnnde Musin shrink. “The best tiling
;o do is to go away.” said* she to her
self, watching very keenly their Judge
who. was at the same time their ad
versary. Her mother had made some
mistake, she felt, and everything was
ipoiled. What that mistake had been
ghe could not conceive; but the fact
she apprehended very clearly.
“Who is this young lady?”
Loris shot the question at Mrs.
Krassin like a crossexaminer.
“My daughter,” replied Mrs. Kras
iln. “Ilya’s sister.”
“Why did you bring her here?”
“She—” stammered Mrs. Krassin.
‘We are both torn by anguish for my
ion—her brother. We would give any
thing—life, liberty—l would give m.v
body and my soul to rescue him. He
Is my life!”
“Yourself —body and soul!” ex
claimed V>ris, with a bitter and ironic
smile. “And,” Insinuatingly, “l sup
pose this young lady would he equally
iberal in the matter —or you for her?”
There was a movement at the door,
as if some one were about to enter.
Loris rose, and by gesture ns of dis
missal brought them to their feet. A
soldier came in with a message; and
as he crossed the roorr glanced sharp
ly at the group—the two women stand
ing before the oommisar, drooping as
from a cutting rebuke, with Mrs. Kras
sin still holding Ixe-her hand the
petition.
“Stnnd aside for a moment!”
The guard obediently stood aside,
closely scrutinizing the faces of the
others.
“I think I understand you. madnme.
You are calculating on the impression
made by the fine form and pretty face
of your daughter. You think the Bol
shevik commander amenable to such
Influences—and you are liberal in your
offers, or your suggestions ns to car
rying out any little arrangement which
may be effective. Isn’t that so? And
I am sii-p you have something in re
serve In your reticule, too—from the
manner In which you hold It. You
certainly adjust your elf admirably to
* difficult situation, and neglect noth
Ing. dear lady!"
The Inconceivable brutality of this
speech was such that for a moment
Musia could scarcely believe that she
had fienrd aright. Then as Loris’ at
titude forced upon her the certainty
that he had made this terrible charge
against her mother she grew sick and
; dizzy, with a feeling that her heart
I had been physically crashed.
She took her mother by the arm and
drew her toward the door. Why did
she linger after that? Musln's Indig
nation rase as she saw her mother
seemed not to resent the Insult; for
Mrs. Krassln resisted the urge toward
the door, stood fast in this room tn
which every moment's lingering was
a compromise of honor.
“Come," said Musia, “let us go!
Let us go 1"
But Mrs. Krassln would not yield.
She still stood fast. She seemed to
hope for success—some sort of suc
cess. Loris turned r.way and finished
with the guard the business upon
which he had, ostensibly nt least, en
tered, and nil through this space of
time Musia was, without success, urg
ing her mother to depart.
“I see," said he, “thgt the Ron Is
the fnvorite child. Or perhaps you
have accepted your own standards as
to the comparative value of an en
forced step out of tlie path commended
by moralists. If token b.v the daughter,
with no harm to her life and limb, to

riage for wealth, or for position? it
Is really much less of n departure f rom
the straight and narrow path, niudumel
l T ou need not look so ‘ndlunnnt, my
dear,” turning to Musia. “You may or
may not know your own mother and
her schemes; but whether you nre j n .
nocent or not, you art currying it off
admirably—l will say f bot for you.
You udd to your value as trading
stock! 1 admit It. You are simply
great I Where did vou get that face
and form? Not from this mother—
about whom I am telling you only the
simple truth."
In obedience to soaie Induction
which Loris had given to tft guard
a soldier entered and stood at at
tention.
“You will wait outside until your
daughter Joins you!”
A movement of his hand toward the
soldier, the keen eye, the lift of the
eyebrow, the command of the face
told why Loris was a commissar. The
soldier stepped forward to lead Mrs.
Krassin out of the car.
“One moment 1” this to the soldier.
“Madame, in parting with you, it will
please you to know that the fate of
your son is not -et decided. I may
add that I am beginning to see a new
light upon the case. Such an able
argument ns yours could not fall to
have its effect on the candid mind.
Mine is a candid mind! I now feel
that I should hear further urgument
in the matter. But the time which
1 can give to the subject Is unfor
tunately limited, and your oratory,
which, as I have admitted, is able,
lacks the merit of brevity. Such ap
peals as may he made for him in the
future must be offered by this fair
advocate!”
Musia was thrust back Into tlie room
by the leering soldier, who, in obedi
ence to a wave of his commander’s
hand, took Mrs. Krassin out. The long
stay of the two women, the fact that
the system of espionage which pre
vailed among the Bolshevikl had re
vealed the fact that they were seated
Musia Was Thrust Back Into the
Room by the Leering Soldier.
in earnest conference with Loris,
these things sent a ripple of Interest
along the lines of information that ran
like a network of wires through the
Bolshevist organization—to Vilinsky,
to Petrov, and on even to Lenine and
Trotsky.
Rut as for Loris’ holding the girl in
consultation after her mother was
excused, and of making public as he
had in his speech in the presence of
this soldier the fact that Musla must
be the intermediary if he heard more
in behalf of Ilya—this was quite a
different thing from that long confab
ulation of the three shut in together.
Tlds was quite a natural thing. lie
who ran might read. Even under the
dictatorship of the proletariat, thought
tlie soldier, ns he stood guard over
Mrs. Krassin on the platform, the offi
cers had certain advantages over the
common soldiers.
Mrs. Krassin had been led to a
bench, hut she did not sit down. She
stood like a hypnotized person who 1
remains fixed in the posture in which !
the dominant mind lias left her, her i
skirts pressed against the edge of the |
bench, her ear turned toward the car j
in which she had left her daughter, j
her eyes staring in blank unregardful ,
ness, her reticule containing her jew- !
els in one hand, and her petition to
the commissar in the other, a dark |
and mysterious picture of the chaos ;
in humanity wrought by chaos in
society.
