IMLT US COUNCIL
TO SPEED DP WM
Consider the Tailored Suit for Spring.
Premier Is Determined to FoltolV j Energetic Poiicy In Push¬ ing tiie War.
' Wffw that th«> Ttnllan osMnct hnn • working majority (rnfflrlcntly nam«t<> ona and powerful to oomhat antiwar Intrlgn*' both lnal(1«» and oiit«l<1« par¬ liament Premier Orlando la iptcr- tnlned to follow an «n^nr<>tlc war pol> Icy. In fart a war ootincll ha* TMwn fonn«d In Italy romposed of th«» pr»^ inler, the mlntstera of forelirn BfTaini, war, nary, arms and mnnltlnns, trwia- nry and anoth*'r member of th« ral>- Inrt ohonen by the premier, besides th» two chiefs of staff of th« army and iMTy.
Brecnttre mMRurea connprtfd with the war and having an iirg<>nt charac¬ ter will be decldefl In fntnre by the war council Instend of the cabinet, and Vonsfderable loss of time will thaa be aared with great advantage to the mic- cem of military operations heretofore delayed, as their approval depended on long diNcnsslona In cabinet cotin- dls.
. Premier Orlando recently confirmed In the aenate his declaration In the honse that no compromise waa poaslble with those who opposed the war, as any attempt to weaken the resistance of the country amounted to treason, and antiwar activity exclusively bene¬ fited the enemy.
An energetic war policy wonld be Impossible In a country like Italy un¬ less the government were backed by the people. So long aa the provi.slon- Ing of the country Is assured and the onconraging announcement made In the senate by the minl.ster of food. Sig¬ ner Crespl, who said thnt special agree¬ ments had been concluded with the United States and the Argentine Re¬ public whereby they placed at the al¬ lies disposal a considerable portion of their whent crops, affords the best proof thnt the question of food short¬ age has been satisfactorily solved, there is no danger of Italy's elimina¬ tion from among the allies. The re¬ cent insidious Austro-German peace proposals have not deceived Italians, who realize that their acceptance would be worse than defeat.
BEAR MEAT ON MARKET
Some Find It Helpa to Cut tha High
Cost of Living. > GltlEens of Harrisonburg and other towns In Rockingham county, Penn¬ sylvania, who find beef, veal and pork too blgb-priced, can make ends meet better now by eating bear meat, large quantities of which hnve been placed on the market at more reasonable prices than those demanded for choice steaks and chops.
The mountains of the county are said to be Infested by bears, and in the past few days a number of the animals hnve been bagged by banters.
One party of sportsmen brought In two, one weighing 300 pounds and the other 250 pounds. The hides, worth about $35 apiece, will be tanned and made into overcoats.
DEMAND FOR BLACK
Material Favored as Economy Rather Than for Mourning.
Man/ Disadvantages Cited in Dead
Color, Particularly That It Does
Not Match Well With Khaki.
There fioein to be two opinions among merchants who deal in woni- ea's dresses, and woiiieu's wear lu g*'u- erul, about the probable deniaud for black. iS'i'i'dlcss to suy, war tiiues al¬ ways mean an luiditloual denmiid for iiiourniiig, but after the experience of Knglutid and France it is luinlly likely that we will overdo tbe matter of wearing mourning iu this country as they did at (lie outbreak of the war. Already there ha.s bt>en very detinite and telling agitation again.st this, aud It Is likely that If occasion for tlu? as¬ suming of luournlug comes. It will be douued, but likely by American wom¬ en.
But aside from black as the color of mourning, the prediction has been made persl.stently in some quarters that there will be an enormous demand for black clothes ua a matter of econ¬ omy. Women may demand black, and they may wear It. But the question Is still open as to whether they ure doing wisely. Almost any woman who has ever wore black for mourning knows that it Is uot un econouiicul color. In almost any fululc blacli re¬ quires constuut brushing und constant trips to the tailor. No color looks shabby so soon us bluck. A bhu'k suit skirt seems to collect the dust more quickly thun suits of other colors, and, of course, bluck blouses have the dis¬ advantage of not usually being wash- uble. The elaborate bluck evening gown cut with an extreme decolletuge conies lu for almost universal ndiuirutlon. und even debutuntes yeuru to weur it.
In England the fact is coiumented on considerably thut black doea not go well with khukl. and !t must have beeu noticed by everyone in this coun¬ try tliat since the escort pur excel- lent'e is tbe iiiun In khaki, our pretty girls have been weartof colons of brighter hue than ever before.
So think twice befora you have mach black lo your wardrobe, and tblok three or four timei^ before joa adopt It as a uiatte£,of eponuaiy.
Tho time hns come—It Is here this minute—to consider tbe tailored suit for spring. It Is an agreeable duty because the season hns In store some happy surprises for u.s In novel trim¬ ming ideas and In Ingenious combina¬ tions of cloth nnd silk. Designers have been asked to conserve wool and have responded In a wny to reflect honor on themselves by furnishing models that use little cloth but nre so cleverly de¬ signed, with such attention to good lines aad so much originality In finish, thnt we may give thanks for the neces¬ sity which mothered such flne Inven¬ tions. Make up your mind to have a sprightly suit for spring; becnuse this yenr's suit has characteristics all its own.
Among them are to be mentioned the Introduction of vests which are mnde of silk, brocade, crepe, pique and of plain fabrics handsomely embroid¬ ered. Somewhere at the front—the sides of the cont ma.v barely meet, or Just fall to, they are held togeth¬ er by one or two link buttons. In other models fronts are cut awny like a man'a dress coat leaving an expanse of iiand.some wnlst coat to entice tbe eye. White cloth collars nnd cuffs, with collars lengthened into revers arc
another feature thnt H<ld to the at¬ tractiveness <(f spring suits nnd they belong to nn nttrnctlve class which Includes suits with collars, revers and culTs of figured or plain silk.
Nnrrow braid nnd small buttons ap- penr In coats not otherwise decornted, und Ingenious cutting redeems the plainest suits from being uninterest¬ ing. A suit of this character Is shown In tho picture, of serge bound with silk braid. Its lines are trim and graceful, the coat original In cut and of medium length; mnny nre shorter and few longer. The fronts Just meet nt the waistline fnstening with n link button there.
Skirts might be disposed of very briefly by describing them merely as plain. They do not Indulge themselves fn plaits or folds or tucks or nnything thnt will take up material not abso¬ lutely needed and they are from one and a half to two yards wide. But plain as they are they betray many pretty and Ingenious conceits In the mind of their designers and almost vie with coats In being interesting exam¬ ples of resourceful designing.
When You Make Aprons.
Aprons have always been intfrest- Ing; they are of so luuuy kinds und proclaim so plululy that they are in¬ tended for reul use lu sulistuntlul uc- tlvlties or are merel.v decorative und trlvlttl. But times huve changed with aprons, and now the most wearreslst- liig and useful of theiu ure required to look well, to po.ssess style as well as strength. Necessity und patriotism have given the apron a boost, und now we have "service aprons" uud "bunga¬ low aprons," shapely and neut, worn by wouieu who ure doing things for themselves and others which others used to do for them.
Some of the huagalow uprous made of plain percale or ctiuiinbray lu all the light colors, pluk, lavender, tan. malse, blue, green aud ruse, with col¬ lars aad cuffs of flowered cretuuues, ought to be rechrlsteued. tbey are ao gay aud pretty. Tbey deserve to be called bungalow frocks at least—aud
perhaps thut Is exactly w hat they are. A service u|>ron for every-duy house wear Is sliown In the picture, made of plald percale with pluiu white cuffs uud Collars. It has long sleeves. Many of the good-looking nprons for house¬ work are made of plain percule or clminbray, with plald collurs, pockets, cuffs and belts. Usunlly the sleeves ure three-quarter length. They are designed to be euslly laundered, and there ure many good pntterus for mak¬ ing them, if one bus the time. But they are to be hud ready made at such moderate prices that it Is a ques¬ tion whether there is any economy In doing the work ut home or not. It depends upuu the time one has to spare and what can bast ba done
with It. ;
