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

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.

Texas Doctor
To Speak For
Foods' Group
Joe Nichols, M.D. of Atlanta,
Tex., and national president of
Natural Food associates, an in
ternational organization, will be
the principal speaker at an or
ganizational meeting of the Ore
gon group at Grants Pass Satur
day, October 22. An all day ses
sion is planned, with a meeting
at 8 p.m. which will be open to
the public.
Several members of the Med
ford Living Foods group will at
tend the Grants Pass meeting
and anyone interested is invited
to attend.
Dr. Nichols will be accompanied
to Medford and Grants Pass by
the executive secretary of Nat
ural Food Associates, Tom La
vin, and the two men will be
principal speakers at the ses
sions which will be held in the
Grants Pass Junior High school.
Luncheon will be served at 1
p.m. and a color film on care
of the teeth is to be shown dur
ing the afternoon. This film, pro
duced by Dr. Fred Miller of Al
toona, Pa., has been widely
shown throughout the United
States. Bread making, using
stone ground whole grain flour,
will be demonstrated by women
of the Grants Pass unit. A buf
fet dinner will be served at 6

open at 8 p.m. Those interested
in attending the luncheon or
dinner are to make reservations
with Mrs. Alma Smith, 911

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.
