Dear Friends: I have become interested in a . group of Russian refugees here who are in need of a market for their v;ork. Paris is full of these people, many of them talented people, of the nobility, who escaped during the Revolution, and who are living in the most abject poverty, huddled into the attics and hovels of Paris. This one group has handed together to sell embroidery, hut has no shops or windows in which to display its lovely handwork. I have sent to Wilmette to find an American market and Mrs. B. M. Coplan of the Unique Style shop, 1126 Central avenue, has kindly offered to show the dresses which I have had sent to her. I wilt be grate ·· ful if my friends will go to see them. Should any of you order gowns, these women. many of them 60 years old and over, will be most grateful. Greetings from Paris. Your friend, Maude Sands. r Wilmette Residents at Golden Wedding in East Jllhr G{tor,gian An Address of Distinction Mr . . and Mrs. W. F.
