In fact, they are so meticulous that usually they express regret to other members of the family for the necessity of disturbing them, and pre- sent a paper for their signature to prove that the proceedings have been conducted courteously. Few Questions Asked. “Few questions are asked, but the search is painstaking. Pages of books are ruffled, clothes are exam- ined, as are carpets, furniture, pic- tures on the wall, even the heating ducts.

Ivan goes| with them. “The news of the arrest is not in the newspapers the following day, and no explanation is asked from the G. P. U., nor would one be given if it were. “In a few days Ivan may be back among his friends, possibly having been merely suspected of something serious because he was too garrulous. More likely he will ‘sit’ in silence in Lubianka, and the first word to the outside will be that he has been transferred to Butyrki, a prison where relatives can call and exchange a few with him through an iron Though it is alleged that Kensing- ton Palace in London is haunted, it did not deter Queen Victoria of Spain from observing her thirty-ninth birth- it the ‘Window Decorations —every concelvable guality of Sunfast Silks “and Mohairs.

TOKIO MODERNS HAVE VARIED GARB Men Let Hair Grow, But Women Are Bobbed Among Bohemian Colony. By the Associated Press TOKIO, November 26.—Long-haired men and short-haired women are one of the latest phases of Japan’s grop- ings toward modernism. The police, always on the hunt for those are Gree less with “dangerous thoughts,” watching these young imitation nwich Villagers with more or suspicion, although the only thing they “have found on them" up to the present is that they seem to be jobless and to have a distinct lean- ing toward art.

These young women of Tokio are entirely “new” so far as the other na- tives are concerned. They wear their raven locks in every conceivable mode, ranging from the “shingle” to the “boyish bob.” Sometimes they wear the garish kimono of the geisha, anG then again they appear in knee- length skirts, rolled stockings and saucy little hats perched over one ear. How they live is a mystery, al- though it is said that many of them are stenographers or waitresses who play at art when they are not work-4 ing. Not far from the Ginza there is a little so-called “‘artists’ colony,” where these ultra-modern Japanese boys and girls lounge around easels, smoke nu- merous cigarettes, absorb great quan- tities of tea and otherwise ‘“express their souls.” Zebra-Horse Good Worker. Cross-breeding of the zebra and the | horse has produced the ‘“zebroid,” a hybrid said to be a better work animal than the mule; also a hybrid from cross-breeding the horse and jackass. The zebroid can exist on less food, do harder work and stand heat better than a mule, according to Dr. W. Hastings of Mount Vernon, Ind.
