The only divergence from the straight lines on which advo cates of slenderizing still in sist is the jaunty flare of cuffs and collars and the easy fullness given by the broad box-plaiting of cloth and fur in the skirt section of the coat. The jaunty hat which tops the outfit" must have fallen in love with a fox cap, for the little visor of black velvet banded with cut steel flowers pokes, out from under the vermulion top with completly military air. - .

In Russia there is a command of death. Women have gone forth to battle under conditions which are hardly bearable for men. v Exciting, isn't it, to see women dressed in uniform, shouldering guns and marching forth to kill?

' . - i ' so long as there arc homes and chil dren. - A nation that sends forth its women to war is a degenerating nation. It sends them not mcrelv to face death as the men do, but a fate far worse capture by the en emy. Russian women know this and they have wisely tucked small vials of cyanide of potassium in their belts. Put the women in the trenches and you have robbed and beggared our men of the very thing they arc fiRhting for peace in the home, l'ut the women in the field of slaughter of human lives and you kill the spark which keeps men struggling on. Facing death from day to daythey would give up the fight. War is a tragedy at best, but when it robs a nation of its women, and its future generations, it sinks the dagger into its own heart.
