ATLANTA WOMEN RAVE
over ACTRESSES GOWNS

Atlanta, Jan. 28.-Society women Of
Atlanta are going wild over the won
derful slinky, snaky, clinging gowns
worn by Madame Naximova in the role
Of Bella Donna which she is playing at
the Atlanta theatre.
Nothing like them has been seen
even in the most daring fashion crea-
tions from Paris The women in the
audience, and they ought to be good
judges, say that Madame Nazimova
must wear no corset at all, and scarce
ly anything else worth speaking Of
beneath the wonderful sheath-like fab
RIGS that cling to her slender figure
like a glove to the hand
How she moves in them at all is
almost a miracle to the average be
holder yet while apparently swathed
as closely as a mummy she does move
with free and dangerous grace.

IONDON Aug. ga general food

countries engaged in hostilities, but
throughout the neutral states as we'll,
NAV prove a powerful factor In bring
ing about an early termination OF the
war.
OF all the countries embroiled Eng
land is the best supplied owing to the
absence of invasion, and the practical
y uninterrupted state OF ner COM
merce with America, Canada ana
western Europe.
Although the German government
claims that the Empire has FOOD Tor

heavy drain of the war. and the 1sola-
ton of the country, it is beheVeo mat
Germany cannot go year without
the greatest hardship being inflicted
upon her people.
Fields Lie FalloW.
There are millions OF men In the
field under the flags of Russia, Ger
many. Austria, England, France, Bel
GUM and Seryia, and all this mighty
host must be fed, the drain coming
mainly from their own countries.
An idea of conditions which must
naturally prevail throughout central
Europe is obtained from the fact that
Holland, which is neutral state has
provisions for only sixteen days. The
minister of agriculture of the Dutch
kingdom has called upon the people
to exert the utmost economy IN the
use of flour.
Although Austro- Hungary has fer
tile tracts under cultivation, the war
has called all the ablebodied men
away from agricultural pursuits, and
only the women are left to harvest the
crops.
There is also a serious scarcity of
meat, and horseflesh will be luxury
In many quarters, before long.
