Material Is Dyed in Interesting Colors, the Paler Shades Used for Underclothes.

To point is very Impolite, To stare Is very rude. And It is very far from right To jumble up your food.

The senate was discussing th« loans to the allies recently and the Russian loan In particular. Senatoi Borah asked, “Is It not a fact that oui government still recognizes as the ambassador from Russia the gentleman who came here to represent the Kerensky government? For instance, at the reception given a few nights age to the representatives of foreign governments accredited to Washington, 1 observed among the list of those present the ambassador from England, the ambassador from France, and the ambassador from Russia, Mr. Bakhmeteff” (portrait herewith).

Bathrobes and negligees partake of the general simplicity and colorfulness of their sisters, the chemises and nightrobes. Some very fascinating robes are seen, which, when held in the hands, look likp so many strips of straight material; when gathered about the shoulders take on stunning shapes. Velvet Is one of the most satisfactory and beautiful of the materials used for these robes, for this fabric has such a becoming way of wrapping Itself around a woman’s figure. Then, velvet is dyed in such Interesting colors —the. octave of the paler shades used for the underclothes. They are becoming robes, and the more so because they are so perfect In their simplicity. An especially interesting robe Is made from three pieces of velvet. The two side pieces are almost exactly square; and then In the back there Is a three-cornered piece for an insert to hold the other two sections together and to send them draping Interestingly toward the sides. The sleeves are made by cutting holes In the middle of each side section, and then the sleeve edges and the whole length of the front are bound with puffy white marabou. Some of the lounging robes, made of heavily brocaded satins combined with

Senator McGumber said, “as far as I know there is no one recognized here at the present time as representing the government of Russia, either the eastern republic or the western soviet section of It.” He added that it would be easy to And out. Senator Borah said, “If the senator had"experienced as much difficulty - -qme of us have in finding the relations of Bakhmeteff to this government," he would find that it is not easy to ascertain. I know that he was dealt with and recognized to all intents and purposes as an ambassador long after the government which he represented had disappeared from the face of the earth, and long after he had been rejected by the people who purported to represent Russia.”

How McAdoo Improved the Railroads

History repeats itself in this spring tailleur. It is of gray tricotine, braided with silk of the same tone—the feature being the bell-shaped sleeves so popular this season.

Charges of Inefficiency in federal war-time control of railroads “have been made and published with a recklessness for which ignorance, design or selfish purpose alone can account,” says William G. McAdoo, former director general of the railroad administration. He made the declaration at the senate interstate committee investigation of the present railroad situation.

things used entirely according to taste, for they may be there or not, just as one chooses. The whole point seems to be to have the color gorgeous and the material rich and heavy, so that the draping will be as sumptuous as possible. The bathrobes and lounging robes follow, more or less, the lines of the outer wraps of the present day. They are ample with regard to the material used. They are flowing and graceful In line; they cover the whole of the figure, with no part left to face the cold uncovered, but they have no particular standard shape to call their own. Each one is a creation in itself, though so unaffected and simple lo principle and origin.

Mr. McAdoo told the committee the government took over the railroads In 1017 because they were breaking down under a private management, unable to meet the stress of war demands, and that federal control and unified operation saved the situation.

Out of the air a substance. Out of the mind a thought. From the dim unknown A hidden truth—

And a miracle Is wrought.

CREPES FOR KIDDIES’ WEAR

have been observed recently, it will have openwork at the shoulder seams. Coats are shown In bright colors and In such dressy fabrics as panne velvet, trimmed with fur. A smartly dressed little girl of four was seen In red from the top of her round hat to her crimson leggings and little kid shoes. Another girl, of twelve or fourteen, was wearing a three-quarter length coat of green velvet in unbelted flaring style, fastened at the neck with little round steel buttons. An exceptionally lovely coat for a two-year-old child was made of gray chiffon velvet. A deep-smocked yoke reached almost to the waist, and collar and cuffs were of squirrel.

C. H. Markham, president of the Illinois Central system of railroads, Is decidedly opposed to the bills lately Introduced In congress to take away from the Interstate Commerce commission all authority over state rates. He thinks the proposed legislation Is “unprogressive, Impracticable and Illogical.” He says among other things; “As ft practical matter, everyone knows that a railway system traverslag a number of states is operated as a unit. All Its property Is used In both Interstate and Intrastate commerce. Its revenues from both are commingled; Its expenses as between the two classes of commerce cannot be accuAtely separated. It ought not to maintain upon its line as many separate and distinct systems of rates as there are states which It traverses. In the case of the Illinois Central system, passing through and touching 14 different states, It Is obvious at a glance that It ought not to have 15 systems of rates, oije applicable to interstate commerce, and 14 others applicable to the commerce of the different states.'

Party dresses are. of course, the order of the day during these weeks, and the Ilttlest girl may find frocks Just as elaborate as her older sister, If she does not favor the simple styles that are designed for her. Her frock will probably be sleeveless, and If It follows the mode of many that
