NO TURkISH-ITALIAN WAR.
Sultan DisIikes Naval Demonstration
 Idea and Gives In,


 Idea and Gives In.
 Rome, April 21.-Turkey has ceded to the Italian demand for Italian post offices in Turkish territory to avoid T naval demonstration in her waters. Turkey has officially informed the Italian government that it does not ob- ject to Italy establishing postoffices in Turkish cities where the other powers have like institutions.
 Furthermore, the porte has virtual ly acknowledged the other claims in the matter of the right of Italians free ly to purchase property in Turkish ter ritory and with regard to coast navi gation.
 As result of these concessions the Italian government has issued orders to the fleet that was about to sail for Turkey to remain in Italian waters and the incident is regarded as closed The threatened trouble between Italy and Turkey apparently has ended as q tempest in a teacup. and for the present at least there will be no dem onstration by Italian warsbips in Turk ish waters. Indeed, it now seems likely that the incident will produce q better feeling between Constantinople and Rome. leading to an agreement by the two countries on many differences which heretofore have been the cause of not a little friction.

VAUDEVILLE

Harold R. Durant, manager Of the l Waterbury base ball team, author
 and playwright, made his debut in
 vaudeville yesterday afternoon at
 the Jacques, when he enacted the
 role of the burglar in his own sketch
 The Wager" Although the house
 was sold out at the afternoon per. ! formance, it was in the evening that
 Durant's friends overfowed the the
 ater and gave him an ovation. The
 sketch will improve with further re- l hearsals and will undoubtedly make ] a good impression upon the road There is not quite enough ding in it l at present, but its defects can be
 eliminated and the playlet rounded
 into shape in a short time. Durant

Whitecar. who will be seen at Polls this evening, in his new love idyl of the plains, An Old Sweet heart of Mine" has, in his new part of Dick Scott. a role in which he is brilliantly original and in which he has charm which comes of senti- ment and right distinction of style. It Is his greatest achievement; he has never before reached the same height of popularity. And the reasons are not far to seek. His educatiom for the part has been perfect, his head and hand have been in perfect uni son. His intelligence--qu quick, inquir- Ing and enacieIIs--readily receives new truths and new ideas.

teriaI. "a
BY MONS. GENE DE PONTIAC.

AS the Paris season progresses
the Directoire style becomes more
and more pronounced-scant skirts,
short-waisted coats with long tails
In the back, collar standing up
straight and stiff, huge revers and
wide cuffs-ideas that will probably
reach us in the fall-let us hope In
less exaggerated form. It is a great
pity that women will never learn to
exercise moderation in the use Of
really beautiful modes. The Direc-
toire costume Is exceedingly pictur-
esque, and the long, graceful lines OF
the clinging gowns are charming
when properly worn; but in the ex-
treme models they are ridiculous and
not little vulgar. So with the new
figure-the "hipless' craze goes On
till the ultra woman wears harness
that almost prevents locomotion and
that moulds her out Of semblance to
anything human.
The tunic skirt is suitable only for
house-gowns, for trailing lengths ars
absolutely necessary to counteract
the tendency the tunic has of cutting
off the height. There is great va
riety in the shape in which the tunic
is cut-it may be square, round or
pointed A favorite finish is plain
hem with handsome tassels weight
ing the points, but there are limitless
possibilities Of embroidery, inser-
tions, appliques, fringe and all the
new bordered materials, though the
severely plain lines of the untrimmed
fold are after all the very best.
Soutache embroidery appears on
every available surface, and the
parasol of either silk, net or lingerie
is no exception. Cotton, linen or
silk embroidery is combined with the
braiding or lace medallions are WOW

sometimes used on silk or linen

reign of pongee calls for parasols Of
like material, and many such are
shown, both embroidered and with
woven Persian borders. In silk,
there are innumerable checks,
stripes, blurred flower designs, dots
and sprays. Some Of the French
parasols in black-a nd-White check
are lined with delicate rose-color,
which makes an eminently becoming
frame for the face. With afternoon
gowns the parasol is of chiffon, OF
lace-the heavy Spanish is the most
stunning-or of silk lavishly adorned
with lace among Dresden embroid-
cries. For the lingerie gown the
parasol is made Of lawn or linen, and
colored batiste parasols, finished
simply with tucks, and with enamel
handles of the same shade, are
charming when they match in tint
the embroideries Of the gown. Gre
tonne parasols are gay little affairs
for carrying with morning gowns.
The handles are wood, very plain Of
course, and the usual trimming is
heavy cotton fringe.
While the strictly tailor-made suit
of coat and skirt to match is as good
form as ever it was and fills some oc-
casions that nothing else ever can
still, the very last word calls for a
contrast in coat and skirt, either of
color or of material or Of both. We
have mentioned before the coats OF
linen to be worn with skirts of cot
ton net; now it Is coats of braided
net and skirts of linen. Wolfe

very smart-particularl If the coat

The Cost Of War.

The House passed Saturday in Com
mittee of the Whole the appropriations
fer Notifications and coast Gefenses.
There was practically no partisan de-
bate or opposition except as toidetails.
In a speech in New York City that
evening Representative Boutell, of
Illinois, said that since the foundation
of the Republic the total expenses of
the Government had been twenty-one
billion dollars. Two-thirds of this vast
sum, or fourteen Ibillion, were spent
for the Civil War alone. One-half our
current expenses are now for war.
If the past cost of smaller wars were
added the disproportion would be more
starting. According to the World AL
manac the "civilsand miscellaneous.ex-
penses" of the Government from 1898
to 1907 were little over four billions
only about one fifth of the whole.
