Peter Law ford and Misi Jean Kennedy, daugh ter of former ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy, recenUy returned from a visit to Russia. The United Press asked them to write about their trip and particularly about Russian women and children. By JEAN KENNEDY and PAT LAWFORD Written For United Press Let's go to a fashion show in Moscow. It's at the Dom Modeli, the principal dress house in the Soviet capital. We took our places around a platform where the models were going to dis play the dresses. The Russian women watching the show most ly wore print dresses and long jackets. Several of them had scarves around their heads. Most Russian women are not on the slim side. There were no slender, thin - waisted models such as you see in Paris and New York. The models seemed to be around size 18 or 20. There were four of them. One who modelled the older wom en's clothes, two young women and one girl who presumably was modelling for the teenager but looked a good deal older. Each wore a pair of black patent CAVALIER Automatic Xfatt Insert Htaters re 2' LOWER EASIER TO INSTALL UNDEft YOUR WINDOWS mm 3 I ii&Tifrrtt jS?!Liaw4 UL APPROVED Solve your home heating problem' now Come oin and see the complete line of Cavalier Heater OPEN WED. EVES. Hal Krueger and Al Thompson 111 237 E. Main Phone 2-245$ leather shoes with extremely but they have little time to de- thick heels which squeaked at every turn. They wore the same shoes with all the different dresses. The clothes would be com pared more to a Sears Roebuck catalogue than any of ours shown in fashion houses. But then they were made for every day wear. The shoulders in the suits were broad with long jackets, resembling an "M" line. Most of the coats had fur-lined collars and cuffs. The wool dresses had the seam in the back and were gathered in the back at the hips. Only one evening dress was shown black crepe with a neck line of black sequins sewed on net. There were a few cocktail dresses in the same black-se-quined style. , After seeing the models, the prospective buyer goes to the ground floor where she can buy the pattern for about 35 cents. There is no such thing as having it made or buying it there. Come along to lunch in one of Moscow's new restaurants. We ordered caviar and shiskabab. While waiting for the meal, we heard the inevitable radio, which seems to be placed everywhere in Russia. An orchestra was playing "Want To Take A Sen timental Journey" and "Besame Mucho." That was a surprise. Five of us lunched and then came the big surprise. The bill was $75. We went to a food market and found it terribly crowded. There is no self service such as in our supermarkets. We ashed our guide about the great crowds. She blinked for a moment, then smiled and said: "I guess this shows our great purchasing power." There were no frozen foods. Prices seemed very high. For ex ample a quart of milk was four rubles. At American exchange rates that is $1. But that rate is, of course, artificial. Another day we visited a cos metic store. First we sampled the perfumes, which have such names as The Kremlin, Jubilee of the Soviet Army, Red Poppy, 8th of March, which is Interna tional Woman's Day. prices ranged from $7 to $13. Face powder ranges from about 25 cents to $1.25. Lipsticks have no special brand names and come in plastic cases. We were told that very few Russian women drink and it is considered "common" to smoke. We had noticed also that few women wore any jewelry what soever. Few even had wedding rings. Our guide explained that unless you are married in a church, you do not wear a wed ding ring. Women in Russia are encour aged to have children. Any mother who has seven is hon ored with the Order of Lenin, vote to their children once they are born. Almost all the women work and the small children are taken care of from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. in government super vised nurseries. We visited one near a state farm. There were approximately 150 children and some 30 tutors and nurses. A doctor is on hand at all times and there are various rooms with toys for children and, of course, the inevitable pic tures of Lenin and Stalin. After age seveithe children go to school which is open every day including Sunday. The school we visited had an English class in attendance. The children are taught both English and Ger man. We opened an English text book at random. The first pas sage we came across told how capitalists in the United States keep Negroes in subservience. The class looked much like one in the States except that the children were in uniform. For the girls it is brown wool with a white collar and black apron. For the boys a military type uni form with a large leather belt and a red scarf. Women, in their brief leisure time, like to go, probably most of all, to the ballet. It seems to be the real Russian love and everyone knows the stories. We saw "Swan Lake" and "Sleeping Beauty." It was a beautiful per formance but it was somewhat of a shock, when you sat in the beautiful theater with heavy gold ornamentation and red vel vet seats, to look around and see the men in open shirts and wom en in flat shoes. We left Russia with a vast admiration for the women. They will pave the streets, work in the factories and labor on the farms. But it seems regrettable that they have so little time for any home life or any real en joyment of life which, here in America, comes so naturally to us. Butte Falls Club To Meet Tuesday .

Dr. Nichols is said to be a dynamic speaker who knows well what is happening to the nation's health both from the viewpoint of a medical doctor and from that of a successful farmer, since he owns a 1,000 acre farm which he reportedly turned from a worn-out piece of land into a fertile and produc tive farm. Dr. Nichols also is president of the board of direc tors of a bank in Atlanta, as well as the owner and operator of the hospital of that city. When serving any kind of sea food, home economists suggest brown bread or pumpernickel to go with it. The flavor combina tion is really delicious.
