TUB NASSAU POST, rSBSPORT, N. T .t PBIPAT, MAW^H 2t. I ITALY MS COUNCIL TO SPEED OP WAH Premier Is Determined to Follow Energetic Policy in Push ing the War. Now that the Italian cabinet ha* a working majority rniffldently namer- ona an<1 powerfnl to combat antiw a r Intrlgne both Inalda and ontalde par liam ent Premier Orlando la deter mined to follow an energetic war pol icy. In fact a war conndl ha* been formed In Italy composed of the pre mier, the minister* of foreign affair*, war, nary, arms and mnnltlona, tree*- nry and another member of the cab inet choaen by the premier, beside* the two chief* of staff of the army and nary. Erecntlre measure* connected with the w a r and haring an urgent charac ter will be decided In future by the war council Instead of the cabinet, and conatderable loss of time will tho* he sared with great advantage to the suc cess of military operation* heretofore delayed, a* their approval depended on long dlacuastona In cabinet coun cils. i Premier Orlando recently confirmed In the aenate hi* declaration In the house that no compromise was possible 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 would be Impossible In a country like Italy un less the government were backed by the people. So long as the provision ing of the country Is assured and the encouraging announcement made In the senate by the minister of food, Sig nor Crespl, who said that 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 wheat crops, affords the best proof that the question of food short age has been satisfactorily solved, there Is no danger of Italy’s elimlna- , tlon 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. Consider the Tailored Suit for Spring. BEAR MEAT ON MARKET Some Find It Help* to Cut the High Cost of Living. i Citizens of Harrisonburg and other towns In Rockingham county, Penn sylvania, who find beef, veal and pork too high-priced, can make ends m eet better now by eating bear meat, large quantities of which have been placed on th e 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 j animals have been bagged by hunters. 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 fo r Mourning. Many Disadvantages Cited in D e a d Color, Particularly That It Does N o t Match Well With Khaki. There seem to be two opinions among merchants who deal lu wom en's dresses, and women’s wear in gen eral, about the probable demand for black. Needless to say, war times al ways mean an additional demand for mourning, but after the experience of Engltmd and France it is hardly likely that, we will overdo the matter of wearing mourning in this country us they did at the outbreak of the war. Already there has been very definite and telling agitation against this, and It is likely that if occasion for the as suming of mourning comes, It will be donned, but likely by American wom en. But aside from black as the color of mourning, the prediction has been made persistently in some quarters that there will be an enormous demand for black clothes as a matter of econ omy. Women may demand black, and they may \wear It. But the question Is still open us to whether they are doing wisely. Almost any woman who 1ms ever wore black for mourning knows that it Is not an economical color. In almost any fabric black re quires constant brushing and constant trips to the tailor. No color looks shabby so soon as black. A black suit skirt seems to collect the dust more quickly than suits of other colors, and, of course, black blouses have the dis advantage of not usually being wash able. The elaborate black evening gown cut w ith an extreme decolletage come* In for almost universal admiration, and even debutantes y earn to wear it. In England the fact is commented on considerably that black does not go well with khukl. and It must have been noticed by everyone lu this coun try th a t since the escort par excel- leuce Is the man In khaki, our pretty girls have been wearing colors of brighter hue than ever before. So think twice before you have much black la your wardrobe, and think three or four time.- before you adopt It as « u>*ttc£.of eponomy. ____ _ The time has come—It Is here this minute— to consider the tailored suit for spring. It Is an agreeable duty because the season has In store some happy surprises for us in novel trim ming Ideas and In Ingenious combina tions of cloth and silk. Designers have been asked to conserve wool and have responded In a way to reflect honor on themselves by furnishing models that use little cloth but are so cleverly de signed, with such attention to good lines and so much originality in finish, that we may give thanks for the neces sity which mothered such fine Inven tions. Make up your mind to have a sprightly suit for spring; because this year’s suit has characteristics all Its own. Among them are to be mentioned the Introduction of vests which are made of silk, brocade, crepe, pique and of plain fabrics handsomely embroid ered. Somewhere a t the front—the sides of the coat may barely meet, or Just fail to, they are held togeth er by one or two link buttons. In other models fronts are cut away like a man’s dress coat leaving an expanse of iiandsome waist coat to entice the eye. W hite cloth collars and cuffs, with collars lengthened Into revers are another feature that add to the at tractiveness of spring suits and they belong to nn attractive class which Includes suits with collars, revers and cuffs of figured or plain silk. Narrow braid and small buttons ap pear In coats not otherwise decorated, and Ingenious cutting redeems the plainest suits from being uninterest ing. A suit of this character Is shown in the picture, of serge bound with silk braid. Its lines are trim and graceful, the coat original In cut and of medium length; many are shorter and few longer. The fronts Just meet at the waistline fastening with a link button there. Skirts might he disposed of very briefly by describing them merely as plain. They do not Indulge themselves In plaits or folds or tucks or anything that 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. c When You Make Aprons. 4 k ■* ■ t < ; a Aprons have always been interest ing; they are of so many kinds and proclaim so plainly th a t they are In tended for real use In substantial ac tivities or are merely decorative and trivial. But times have changed with aprons, and now the most wear-resist ing and useful of them are required to look well, to possess style as well as strength. Necessity and patriotism have given the apron a boost, and now we have \service aprons” and “bunga low aprons,\ shapely and neat, worn by women who are doing things for themselves and others which others used to do for them. Some of the bungalow aprons made of plain percale or chuinbray In all the light colors, pluk, lavender, tan. matte, blue, green and rose, with col lars and cuffs of flowered cretonnes, ought t o be rechrlsteued. they are so gay and pretty. They deserve to be called bungalow frock* at least—aud perhaps that is exactly what they are. A service apron for every-day house wear is shown In the picture, made of plaid percale with plain white cuffs and collars. It has long sleeves. Many of the good-looking aprons for house work are made of plain percale or chuinbray, with plaid collars, pockets, cuffs and belts. Usually the sleeves are three-quarter length. They are designed to be easily laundered, and there are mnny good p atterns for mak ing them, If one has the time. But they are to be had ready made a t such moderate prices th a t it js a ques tion whether there Is any economy In doing the work at home or not. I t depends upon the time one hue to spare and what can beat be done with it. AtawMe Sf yrl fur tfc* PreaMeit.
