Troops and Japanese. ' Tokyo, July 20. Japanese newspn 2ers publish tho terms of nn Amerl can proppsal to send American troops to Siberia. Tho newspapers declare , that tho Jnnaneso Government has de- clded to accept the suggestion made by j ihc American government that Japan also Bend troops. There Is great activity In Japanese olllclnl circles and the newspapers do- j vote columns to thovsubject of Inter- -vcntlon. They dwell on the great ex tent of tho expedition and speculate re garding the number of divisions Japan -will send to Siberia. The newspapers also sny that Em peror -Yoshlhlto has postponed his de parture from Tokyo for his summer -villa on nccount of Important develop ments which have taken place. According to information In Tokyo the pluns of the United States hi Rus sia are twofold: First,, military as sistance to the Czecho-Slovuks, and, econd, giving general economic help o Russia. The United States is described as feeling that the Czecho-Slovaks should jnot be abandoned while they are striv ing to reach their aim. ' Tho impression hero is that Japan, In a spirit of co-operation with her allies, will follow the suggestion and, like the Americans, send troops. Oreut IJrltaln and France, It Is said, also will send small contingents so as to make -the movement Intcr-nllled. Many Japanese leaders, however, favor more extensive military move ments In Siberia than have been sug . jested by the United States.

The Stage Woman's War Relief la h largo charity with many branches. Lvmong Us activities Is a committee which has charge of the making of .wind-proof vests for nvlntors and oth kr fighting men who find It dllllcult jto dress so ns to keep wnrm. These fvests nro mndo of old gloves nnd pieces Hf leather nnd nro warmer than sweaters. It Is said they nro tt great protection ngalnst "bcnstles" that are wro to assault the soldier. Gusts .of wind cannot get by them. t Everyono who has old kid gloves to (spare should contribute them to tho fanny or learn how to make the vests. The Stage Woman's War Relief has a ilnrgo light loft, Installed with electric sewing machines, whore the vests are made. Many of the gloves are ser' In already cleaned nnd this Is a grent help others aro sent to tho cleaner. Then they are cut to form flat pieces of leather. These are matched up for slzo.nnd color. After they havo been pressed out they nro hasted together and stitched on paper patterns. Tho reverse side of the vest is made of canton flannel or othnr Moth, pro vided with u practical and roomy pocket and then the vest Is nently bound with braid. Leather book cov ers and leather postcards can be used In these vests, as well as gloves, and some Interesting not to sny mousing t vests result from the use of these. Any sort of usable louther may he commandeered for this purpose pil low tops, tablo covors and book covers. Tho leather must be firm and whole, and contributions aro doiibiy welcome when they comb In clean. U Ijj easy to understand that better 'vests can 1)0 mode where large con tributions of leather are received and the pieces enn bo matched tip, than otherwise. Also then tho women mnUlng them become expert. Anyone wishing to do something useful In almost any community enn undertake to accumu CORSETS FOUNDATION OF GOOD DRESSING The problems of the makers of cor 'sets are many nnd difficult, but the cor 'sets of today ure marvels of skillful designing. In the first place those who create corset stylos must understand thoroughly the various types of figures and they must undertake to make each ono of thorn shapely without tho sac rifice of comfort. This is not nt nil ensy; fop the too-slender woman must bo given pretty curves and the fat woman must have hers smoothed out. Beside, women demand corsets that aro light In weight and havo few bones or stools. Fashion decrees that wom en shall be so carofully corseted that thoy look uncorseted when they aro dressed. The contour of the figure must conform to beautiful lines. Tho now corsets are mndo of firm but very flexible matoriats and with the fewest possible number or bones. They nro nearly all very low In tho bust and give perfect freedom to the dluphrugm, There are equally good models In front and In buck-laced styles so that each woman must deter mine for herself which Is best suited to her tlguro. Tho corset Is tho foundation of suc cessful dressing nnd should bo fitted with the greatest care. We have all met women who achieve the best stylo In the simplest frocks nnd suits. It Is all a matter of beautifully bajunecd lines and ono must begin nt tho begin ning to possess them, und the' begin ning Is tho corset that fits nnd shapes the figure. All good dressmakers un derstand this. A front-laced and u baek-Iaced cor net are shown here. At the left the corset designed for a slender tlguro Is late leather for this purpose. Through tho schools a great many gloves have been gathered, tho pupils getting con tributions nt home that aro brought to the teachers nnd sent by them to tho collector. Stores" will sometimes mako contributions of old styles and clcun era give gloves that havo never been called for by their owners. Tho col lector may place her materials through the Red Cross or send them to the Stage Woman's Wnr Relief nt 18 West Thirty-fourth Street, Now York, i The Touch. Stone. Tho well-dressed woman knows that It Is In detail that sho can prove her right to tho title. Even last year's frock can bo given n very up-to-the-minute air with n becoming now veil new neck accessories or a girdle oM decorative value. Any one of theso old-do-camps will work Wonders in re juvenating a costihne. Take, for in stance, tho girdle. Tho plainest 6f dresses becomes Interesting at onco when one Is added. The Importance of the glrdlo In this year's fashions was exemplified' tho other duy In one of tho now pluys, In which a young actress wore the plainest dress of white crepe, which had u glrdlo that was turned once at the loft sdo and tho ends fin ished with deep silk fringe. It made the costume, and tho ensemble was' stunning. Evening Gowns Passe. Evening gowns nro now almost a lost art. Few women tiro buying thcra. In their placo avo find afternoon frocks of laco or net or point d'esprlt, com bined with sutln. Above nil, howover, come tho pretty soft chiffons In neu trnl shades beige, navy, black, mauvo( mid gray. These clinging chiffons round out nfternoon nnd evening occa sions. For the older woman they nro the type of frock pnr excellence, , a trifle higher In tho front nnd consid erably higher in tho back than the? model designed for a fuller flguroj which Is shown ut the right. Corsets for stout women nro very low In tho bust; for it Is their provlnco to length en nnd straighten lines that are tool much curve'd. When the corset hus) been properly fitted and tho contour of tho figure niado us nearly correct as! the corset can make It tho way o tho dressmaker Is easy; all she has to do Is to prosorve tho lines which result from good corseting. Length of Blouses. It Ik evident that all blouses that bear tho stamp of fashion will extend halfway between the waist and knees. These blouses ure often sleeveless when worn utuler coats. They uro built of colored chiffon that does not match tho gown, or of llnon, albatross, silk nnd woolon Jersey and corded silks. Evury effort Is being mado to put out of fashion the blouse that ends nt tho waistline and cuts off tho figure. Neck Lines. Both the high and extremely low neck lino are Introduced In ono dinner dress. Over the slip of firmer mate rial, which Is very low cut, nn over dress is used, of laco or tulle, which hus the higher neck lino aUd long sleeves. Another new type of thosoi dresses is tho gown, which la very, high ut the back of tho neck and lowl In front. 1
