Women Of Soviet Now Clothes Conscious Soviet Russians have been too busy builditg up their country to think of . furthering feminine fashions, accord- ing to Elsa Schiaparelli, noted Paris couturier, who has returned from a trip to Moscow and Leningrad, "Russian women are now interested in clothes," declared Schiaparelli, but they will never attach supreme im- portance to fashions as do Europeans and women on the North American continent, because they are too vital. ly interested in all the various pro- jects going on in their country." Schiaparelll found that Russian wo- men are most interested in the man. ufacture of clothes, They would like to learn how to turn out smart clothes in large quantities at a reasonable price, They asked the Paris dressma- ker many questions about her meth. ods of preparing for a large collec- tion, the procuring of materials, sel- ection of designs and color combina- tions, They make all their own mat- erials and fashion clothes from mag- azine pictures, According to Schiap- arelli, the Russians do a creditable job considering the scarcity of mater. ial and the lack of accessories, "There are two classes of women in Soviet Russia," said Schiaparelli. dh GREEN The | by Stuart Martin GHOST Ld LE a a a SYNOPSIS In the West Indies, Maud Uarron awakes with a premonition of disaster.

Some Curious Cases (By Dr. Raoul France,® condensed- from Pester Lloyd, the Magazine Digest.) Budapest, for The following unusual hehavior of a eucalyptus tree has been scientif- ically recorded and veritied, The tree grew near a canal and spread its roots in this direction, over aa area of about 50 feet. But in its growth it encountered a wall, under- neath which it could not pass, What did the eucalyptus do? The root be- gan to grow upward, along the wall, until it found a hole in it several inches above the ground, Through this hole it passed, then started growing downward again in the direction of the canal, until it reach- ed it. Can we say that the plang did so only béeause it had a certain "flaic" for water? But perhaps the most striking ex- ample of this problem of intelli- gence of the plants is the South American imbauba tree, an acacia as common in Brazil as is with us, All its boughs are hollow so that they splendid abode for insects, the maple and leaves provide a The ants discovered it and, while hostile to any other organic being, they ave friendly toward the imbauba, They go in and out of these hollow pass- ages through "doors" which they chew in the thin spots of the bark without injuring the tree. But the imbauba not only pro- vides room for the ants, It also provides hoard.

The Man Who Knows Whether the Remedy ~ You are taking for Headaches, Neuralgia or Rheumatism Pains . 18 SAFE is Your Doctor. + Ask Him the Don't Entrust Your Own or Your Family's Well-Being 'to Unknown * Preparations BEFORE you take any i ara- tion you don't know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it -- in comparison with "Aspirin." We say this because, before the discovery of "Aspirin," most so- called "pain" remedies were ad- . vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of "Aspirin" largely changed medical practice. Countless, thousands of people who have taken "Aspirin" year in and out without ill elect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct, Remember this: "Aspirin" is rated among the fastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains . . . and safe for the average person to take regularly. : "Aspirin" Tablets are made in Canada.

She started, and her {ace went white. : "I have been to the Viceroy Hotel, Miss Darron, I saw you there with this man.

What did you find out at the hospital? Tell me if you discovered anything about my father » "I'l talk of that afterwards, First I will tell you how and where I saw vou at the Viceroy Hotel." He told how he had seen her with the man, how he had waited for some time before going into the palm court to find her. " -- this friend--was still there, I asked him where 1 could find you. He did dot answer me." "But he could have told you. He knew I had gone home." "He could not tell me, Miss Bar- ron." } "Why?" "He was dead." "Dead!" If he expecied her to, take it cool- ly he was mistaken. She shrank from him, unbelief in her eyes, but gradu- ally the unbelief gave way to hor- ror, and the horror to utter deva- stating realization. She staggered and would have fallen but he caught her and held her, looking into her face. He held her at arm's length. "Dead?" she repeated, wailing, her face like parchment, "But it is I impossible." t "It is true. I found him in his chair, Dead. Who was this man?" "Ho was my brother!"

True, the citizenry do not loiter at windows. They do not stroll with lingering backward glance. They do not wander hand in hand. Beyond a doubt when they step out the shel- tering door, they know where they are going and are on their way. The milkman gets popular notice. He is first favorite for a public statue-- carved in ice. There is a minority report, though, in favor of the police. It is announced that when the con- stables go off the beat, their buffalo coats stand up of their own accord, so solidly frozen are they (the coats). This, it should be added, is contradicted by milkmen advocates who scoff that what keeps up the coats is the access of awful dignity which doth hedge about the officers.

And there is no lack of encmies in the jungle forest, especially the large leaf-eating ants which are the terror of these regions and make every man flee before them, These preedy creatures cut oft the leaves but by bit and carry them off to their colonies, wheve they make beds upon which they grow fungi for their food. Where .such a horde passes every tree is laid waste ex- cept the imbauba, which is defend- wl by its own boarders, If a man were to act similarly, we would not question his intelli- gence apd faculty of reasoning, But how about the plant?

"Eat Little, But Eat Well" Says Dietitian The pleasures of the table ave many, and one of them--ceating with out restriction--is causing many wo- men to spoil their goed looks. This view is expressed by a French dietitian in a vecent article on "What { Women Should Fat," which has aroused great interest in the Paris press. "Most of the red noses, spotty faces and yellow complexions which women have these days are caused by at the table," he writes. "Cosmetics are wonderful aids te beauty, but their effect is consider C¢XCess ably reduced if a woman over in- dulges at mealtime." He adds that if womer do not want "their mirrors" to reveal a jaded digestion, they should eat little and ea. weil. This he says should be regarded by them as their most important rule of conduct in this respe.t. "Modern conditions," continues the article, "are uch that women must sacrifice their tendency toward gour- mandizing for the sake of good looks. "To avoid over-eating is the first "and simplest aid to beauty, Another ,impostant saftguard is the eating of plenty of green vegetables and fruit. they contain vitality conveyed directly by the sun. Many of the dishes favored by women, and regarded as neces- sities, actually undermine their beauty, TI regard obesity as a mal- aly cesulting from lack of attention in regard to food." The views of the dictitian: warmiy supported by a number of beauty experts, One expert, com- meting on this article, gaid: are "In my opinion French women, in particular, overeat to a very great extent, The result is seen in puffy faces and weary eyes, and our task of keeping them young and beautiful is enormously increased.
