England backed out of that situa- er her war de- sured our Sso- called war de- Arthur Brisbane partment in Washington that Mussolini could not possibly conquer Ethiopia in less than three years, probably not at all. When the dust had settled and England, with her chicken-feed as- sortment of 51 league nations, had apologized tc Mussolini and tossed Haile Selassie into the waste-bas- ket, England found her foreign commerce much damaged. She had missed Mussolini, and shot herself in the pocketbook. For a little while she will copy Job: “I will lay mine hand upon my mouth. Once I have spoken . yea twice, but I will proceed no further.” Paris, which is France, decided to sing and dance a new car- magnole with Russian dressing; clenched fists raised in air a la Russe; red flag waving; the dole- ful strains of the Communist hymn, I'Internationale, and its Communist injunction, ‘Arise, ye prisoners of starvation,” excellently sung from the Arc de Triomphe to the Place de la Bastille. You can hardly imagine what fire, fury and enthusiasm thousands of young and old French gentlemen put into that hymn, although many of them showed few outward signs of starvation. There were, and are, manifesta- tions everywhere. Now in the chamber of deputies, Monsieur Gaston Gerard, practical French statesman, asks, “What has be- come of our foreign tourists and their spending money?”’ M. Gerard tells the deputies something must be done. In 1927, 2,125,000 foreigners from all over the world visited France, spending much money. Visitors now number only 700,000; as a rule with little money to spend-—oysters containing no pearl; many that come to help sing 1'Internationale bring no mon- ey. Foreign visitors, says M. Ger- ard, used to give highly paid em- ployment to half a million French steamship tickets; scattered throughout France from 12 to 15 thousand millions of francs. Fifteen billions, even in francs, are ‘‘real money” here. M. Ger- ard tells the chamber French prices are too high. There is something in that, with the four-cent franc costing six to seven cents in the United States—a comic-opera situa- tion, considering the relative wealth of the two nations. M. Gerard thinks there should be some cabinet official to look after foreigners, with better propaganda and fewer vexatious taxes on for- eigners; there is nothing in that. Foreigners do not voluntarily travel and spend money where they mopolitan, educated Frenchman is but ask him what sort of reception the crowd gives to the foreigner, British especially. It offends the British ear to hear A bas les Ang- lis! —""Down with the British!” few feeble cheers for Lafayette, or Woodrow Wilson, or somebody, Great crowd in the Champs Elysees, especially around the in- nocent American car, with new paint, shiny chromium and several cylinders. A polite policeman says monsieur should know better than te appear in a car of “grand luxury” on such a day. Such luxury cars you may see by the thousands and millions on American roads, Nothing happens to the car of grand luxury; it crosses the Ave- nue of the Champs Elysees, about 300 feet, in less than twenty min utes. The French, newly self-iden- tified as ‘‘prisoners of starvation,” are interested in the auto Ameri- can, which is careful not to bump anybody. i | NEW party dress this time of year brings two - fold joy. There's the fun of rounding out the summer season of social activi- ties in lovely array and then when midseason dances and din- ners are over, its off to college where the fun begins all over again for your dress will take on new glamor in new environment.

The waistband is fastened with a silver Grecian clasp. The prestige of capes in the evening mode is noted, and knowing style creators declare they will continue to play their triumphant role as the new season comes on. The word that fashion is reviving the use of ostrich is confirmed in the opulent banding of white South African ostrich feathers that embellish this cape.

Jewelled and beaded embroidery will glitter on crepes and other gorgeous silks.
