The women of Russin are taking an interest in clothes again. Mme. Schiaparelli, the drosa doalgnor; who has just returned to London from Moscow, said "I was besieged with questions. about how the women in the great outer world are dressing,"

Mme. Schiaparelli designed a dress for the Russian working woman-"black wool, with a washable collar; vory simple-and a red coat of heavier wool. It can be worn at business and at home, by day or in the evening

"Dressing for dinner is just beginning over there," she says. "But it is aprending rapidly. Many of the younger women have never seen evening dresses before.

The women aro generally healthy, good looking, and intell!- gont. Their babies, which are the healthiest I have over acon, aro looked after in creches all day and reclaimed In the evenings when their mothers come home from work."
