THE ALLEY RANGERS CLUB HOUSE !S ON FIRE. What Parisian Women Are Wearing) Soviet Subjects Have Only Two Types of Dress, Sum- mer and Winter Editor’s Note: This is the sixth of a series of stories dealing with Soviet Russia. By JULIA BLANSHARD Staff Writer for NEA Service (Copyright, 1931, NEA Service, Inc.) Tf you lived in Russia— What the well-dressed woman is ‘wearing in Paris, how she fixes her hair and makes up her face would make little difference to you. You can wear anything you have. Everybody does. Moscow has no fashion seasons and only two kinds of clothes—clothes for hot weather and clothes for cold. Frost came one night late in September and Miss So- phiana, a neighbor who the day be- fore had gone picnicking with us, dressed in her sleeveless white dress ‘and no hat, stopped in to see me. She looked like an utter stranger, dressed in a tall, black astrakhan cap, long, worn fur coat and high shoes. This is her September-to- May costume. She has no in-be- tween things. Russia has no fashion magazines nor are there any style or beauty ar- ticles in the daily papers, No store advertises clothes. Radio hours fcr women never touch anything as in- consequential as personal appearance. ‘They explain Russia’s economic aims, her need for more cooperative kitch- ens to release home women for in- dustry, or give the latest figures on production from the Stalingrad trac- tor plant, which thrills all Russia, ee * Gay, embroidered peasant blouses, ‘traditionally Russia, are missing from the Russian scene. I had been there a whole month before I saw one. Mikitina, a Ukranian girl student at @ college near Moscow, wore it as she sat in the yard studying. We stopped ‘the car and approached. “See if she will trade that blouse for something,” I requested the correspondent with me. He told Mikitina that the Amer- ican woman admired her blouse. I raised my white dress and showed her an apricot colored slip with lace edging. She registered immediate interest and when I suggested adding silk stockings, it was a bargain.- We went into her dormitory, and while 18 girls watched the trade, I peeled off my dress and gave Mikitina the slip and stockings and she took off her blouse and gave it to me. * # Probably you would not wear sili Btockings if you lived in Russia to- day. Most women wear the Soviet- made, rather sleazy cotton ones, usually light gray, beige or dead white, or the heavy-ribbed black lo, Dear. I just wanted to hear ones. They don’t know the differ- ence between the cheap rayon and the full-fashioned silk product. But they are fond of any “silk.” Rayon hosiery costs about 18 rubles ($9) a pair. You can’t buy full-fashioned silk ones for any price. Rayon bloom- ers are the newest addition to the’ Russian wardrobe. Many peasants are discovering that they are the perfect gift to take home to their sweethearts. Berets are fast supplanting the great national headgear, the kerchief. You will see gaudy rayon berets and some worsted ones that the Soviet government is manufacturing now. But it is the foreign berets that the Russian women like. Communist leaders’ wives dress no differently from the rest. When you See a woman on the street, there is no way of telling, from her costume, whether she is Stalin’s wife, a post- office employe or Sascha, the maid. There is no such thing as “keeping up with the Joneses” in Russia. There aren’t any Joneses. Competition be- tween women over their personal ap- pearance would be considered by everybody as bourgeois. eee If you were a man in Russia you would wear a blouse. Russian men uniformly look more becomingly ; dressed than women. The Russian blouse is a flattering costume, wheth- er decorated with hand-embroidery for its stand-up collar, its left side closing and belt or whether manu- factured out of plain chambray or sateen. An enormous number of men wear them, and caps with visors that the government manufactures. You may be surprised to see how large a percentage’ of Russian men are clean- shaven. Few have long beards. The) new Soviet-made safety blades may mean even fewer in the future. You see increasing numbers of Russian women with curled bobs, manicured fingernails, rouged lips. Even the village girls are to use lipstick. Down in the Cau- casus on @ farm I met two fat, bare- footed, barelegged and none-teo-cléan peasant girls who had lipsticks, gifts. Moscow has many beauty parlors opening up. Girls wait in line for simple shampoos and marcel wave, three rubles ($1.50); manicure, one ruble 50 kopecks (75c), ee oe ‘stts Imelelye tn uls buy, sulpplva In Inslelo sin ~_ The letter “I” has been filled in 14 times to make a complete sentence.
