A Serious Situation in Italy.

Rome, May PA grand banquet was
given in the Theatre Argentine last eve
ming in honor of Premier Crispi More
than. five hundred guests were present,
including the leading politicians and
other notables of the kingdom. In re-
sponse to toast to his health, he de-
livered a forcible and important speech.
The Premier alluded to the difficult
conditions under which he had accepted
his post, which he had done, he said,
solely to fulfil his duty to the country.
He demanded truce to party strife, and
declared that under such conditions
would again lead the nation to it's normal
state He recalled the proposals which
the government had made to this end,
and claimed that they had resulted in a
renewal of internal order and increased
credit abroad
The opposition, jealous of his success,
mad sought to form coalition of dis
contented parties. These hybrid unions,
by obstructing the work of the govern
ment, had rendered dissolution of Parli-
ament inevitable. The opponents of the
government had tried to slay a minister
country, he said, had become the substi-
tute for the poignard
Referring to the foreign relations of the
government, he affirmed the pacific senti-
ments of Italy, whose interests, he said,
accorded with the peace of Europe. Never

greater with all the powers, including the
United States.
Premier Crispi insisted upon the neces-
sity of providing for the defence of social
order. 1t was difficult matter, he said,
to distinguish between Socialists and
Anarchists Against the social perils
arising from the actions of both he ap-
pealed to all honest men to support the
formula: 'sWith God and the King and
for the country
The question now before the electors
was a national monarchy, or a social and
moral anarchy. He urged his hearers to
unite in a fight for the defence of the
nation in the names of the King, conclud
ing with the words: Gin hoe signo

Tho Pacing of the Apron.

Although so much has been written about
the advent OF the boomers ns part or the

number of invited guests had the pleas
ure OF hearing an admirable paper upon
Expression in Pose and Manner" yester-
day morning. by Helena Hartnett Mitchell,
at the Kronberg Conservatory OF Music.
The following extracts prove the clear in
sight and practical application of the au-
thor:
There is an erroneous idea afloat that
to be graceful one must be conscious and
unnatural. Now the very fact that you
are not graceful proves you are conscious
and unnatural. How many of You were
not graceful when You were years old?
You might have been plgeon-toed, but
graceful always until you pass the age OF
absorption, which begins at about the ago
OF and continues for the rest of life.
How many of you walk right, sit right,
stand right? Mrs. Burnett speaks OF one
of her heroines as standing as II she were
made to stand That is the way every
one should stand. l am sure that any
woman here this morning will run more
naturally than she will walk. Why? Be
cause she hasn't been initiating her neigh
bors' run, and she unconsciously steals her
walk. Don't walk with your feet. Walk
on them, ana don't copy the girl who
thinks she is walking according to the
