RUSSIA'S DEAN OF LETTERS SEEKS LOCAL COLOUR.

LABOURER'S DAUGHTER TO SING IN OPERA.
CORRECT DRESS
Most men ore sensitively aware how easily the effect of dress clothes can be marred by little deficiencies in detail, But all men can avoid this embarrassment by making full use of Mackintosh's Dress Wear Service.
Summit Dress Collars in Quarter Sizes-the Summit Cont Dress Shirt, slipped on with as little fuss as a dinner jacket-Dress Ties with n correct length for every size of Summit Dress Collar-these in themselves strike s new note in correct, dress-wear comfort.
It's in the role of a reporter that Maxim Gorky, famous Russian suthor, is shown in this unusual photograph. Gathering material for a history of the Russian revolution of 1918, he is seen here getting first-hand information from three women who took active parts in the Bolsho vist uprising.
