NO WAR FOR DEPOSED
MANUEL'S KINGDOM
PEOPLE FALSELY
REPRESENTED AS EAGER TO
TAKE UP ARMS AGAINST THE
GERMAN GOVERNMENT.

LISBON, Feb. % By mail to New
York; Dozens of times dispatches
have been sent out through English
or French forces representing PoT-
tugal as about to plunge into the great
war on the side of the Allies. Ameri-
cans may well have wondered why
this much heralded event failed to
happen
The British wish is father to the
thought There Is war party here,
but the mass of the intelligent Portu-
guese realize clearly the folly of en-
barking on hostilities if the peace can
possibly be kept. AS in the case of
Italy, sentiment for peace has been
augmented steadily by the recurrent
object lessons of misery caused by
the war from Belgium, France, Po-
land and Serbia.
The war question has caused a
grave political crisis in the Porti-
guese republic, now five years old.
The country is now under a military
government. The new cabinet is a
war cabinet, but it found the opposi-
ton to its policy far greater than
anticipated. One month after the war
cabinet took office the president sus-
pended it and called General Pimenta
de Castro to form the military govern
ment which now rules.
The cabinet had put the control of
the government into the hands of
secret revolutionary party called
The White Ants" The cabinet
found its stumbling block in the army
itself, for the Portuguese officers are
opposed to joining an expedition to
England.
The anti-war newspapers were
severely suppressed, but nevertheless

the troops. All the modern rifles had

These reports from relatives and

Germany's patience with the tactics
or the war party has added greatly
to the belief that the Germans have
not taken the initiative.

THE SEASONS PICTURE GOWN.
BY ANNE R1TTENHoUsE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, August 10.-The picture
hat refused to be ousted. and here to-
day we are presented with model for
a picture gown.
Certainly the gown in the sketch re-
Gals days when the great painters were
the dress designers. and there were no
whole sale manufacturers to turn out a
thousand copies of the same design. II
is an instance of the h6terodoXy of the
modern mind. that such conflicting
styles as the polonaise, the 1850 ruff1es
and this dignified model with it's Ital-
ian renaissance suggestion, can be
worn at one and the same time.
The sketch illustrates the revolt OF
the woman of average or more than
average proportions against the quaint
and the dainty, which were made TO
suit the little women. to whom the last
year has offered a wonderful opportu-
nifty.
Certainly. the Juno type has been
sadly misgowned in the tight belt
round waist and gathered balloon skirts
of pale colored taffeta, which were the
first articles of the artless clothes creed
of the past season.
She has, however. come into her own
again. There seems to be no revival OIL
trailing draperies. even for evening,
for the unframed evening gown Is too
practical to be abandoned but the pres
snt unframed gown is not necessarily
either youthful or undignlhed. Inc
sketch proves this conclusively. A very
interesting tunic of chiffon embroidered
in graded shades of the same color,
royal blue is placed over full, round
length of velvet of the same regal tone.
There is Roman suggestion ABOUT the
tunic which made me call the gown OF
the italian renaissance, with It's
adaptation of the classic.
II is surprising to find that the tunic
looks Just as we'll over full skirt as IT

To Keep Flowers Fresh.

The only drawback to cut flowers IS
that they wither so quickly, and IN
keeping them fresh some seem to have
more luck than others.
For instance in the matter of vio-
let's. it is possible to wear them sew
eral times without noticing the over
powering stale odor which proclaims
them beyond redemption
OF course many people find that they
cannot wear cut flowers even for one
afternoon, because in some cases the
body heat seems to wilt them. but II
this can be avoided it is quite pos
sible to find a bunch almost as fresh
the second day as on the first If they
were properly guarded overnight.
Keep the box that they came in ana
when you take them on hold the stems
under running water for a few MIN
utes, taking care not to wet the vlo-
let's themselves
per and put them back in the covered
box outside the window if it is cool;
If not nthe refrigerator, but in either
case keep them wrapped.
This treatment seems to restore the
flowers and hold in the delicious odor
which so soon becomes rank if they
are kept unwrapped in a close room.
Some people think a pinch of salt in
the water will keep cut flowers fresh
longer, and so it does in some cases.
In others it seems to change the col
ors a little. With roses it is success
full, but not so much so with violets
A piece of gum camphor is said to be
an excellent preservative in the wa
ter, and others advocate a small lump
of charcoal, but in any case the wa
ter should be changed daily and the
flowers put in a cool place overnight

The Barrel Story.

II have just been telling brother and
baby my famous barrel story, and
think I shall have a little more order
for a WHILE" said Mrs. Happy Home
maker.
Don't you know the story? 1t Is
about little girl who simply would
not pick up her things.
"The mother had insisted on the child
caring for her room as soon as sne
was old enough, but the results were
anything but gratifying.
The mother was obliged to make
daily pilgrimages to the little room,
where she Strengthened hastily spread
bedclothes; picked up and put away
ribbons, sashes. shoes and stockings;
hung up hats. coats and dresses.
"She puzzled long and hard and nnal-
ly hit upon a solution
zone day the child came into her
mothers room most explosively.
"'What is that old barrel doing in my
room?' she demanded
THAT, my dear. is for my conven,
ience,' replied the mother calmly.

putting them away, so after this when
I find them out of place l shall simply

please

sion. The next morning the frock hung
over chair just as it had been taken
off. 1t wrung the mothers heart to do
it.. but she felt this was the Spartan
test.
Another party was imminent; the
day came; it was time to go; no sound
was heard above the stairs. The
mother finally went up. Sounds OF
sobbing came from the child's room
she softly opened the door. On the
floor lay the party dress. a mass of
crumpled muslin. lace and ribbons; on
the bed lay disconsolate little figure;
a tearstained face was lifted.

dress in the barrel and now it is

PRESERVING PEARS.

A FRENCH PEAR DESSERT.-Every
Frenchwoman knows the value of COM
bining cooked fruit with cereal for the
family dessert. Here is her favorite
way of serving pears. Peel. core and
cut in halves half a dozen firm pears.
Cook them slowly for an hour in a
sirup of two cups of water and one Of
sugar. Meantime boil in double boil
er for about an hour a half cupful Of
rice in two cupfuls of milk, with a
nilla to taste. When the rice is cooked
turn it into a mold. The French cook
keeps the rice warm while it Is setting
in the mold, but it would probably suit
the American taste better to place the
mold on ice. When ready to serve
turn the rice out on round dish and
arrange the pears neatly in a border.
Pour over them the sirup in which they
have been cooked, favored, il desired,
with a little rum.
CANNED PEARS-Bartlett pears are
considered by many housekeepers the
best for canning. II not perfectly ripe
they can be easily mellowed by wrap
ping them up in woolen blanket. but
they must be a little under rather than
over ripe for canning. To every quart
pears. pint of water and one-fourth
pound of sugar. Cut the fruit in halves.
pare. core and throw at once into cold
water to prevent discoloration. Put the
sugar and water first into preserv-
ing kettle and let heat slowly; when
the scum appears remove 1T carefully,
and as soon as the sirup boils hard add
the fruit and boil all together from
three to ten minutes.
Put a cloth wet in cold water around
the jar when putting in the hot fruit,
in order to prevent breakage, and fur
ther make sure against this by putting
in a couple of pears and little juice It
a time. When the jar is full run a sill
yer knife down the sides of it to let out
the air bubbles, and seal tightly while
the fruit is still hot. Canned pears
I should be kept in cool, dark place.
| Seckel pears. which may be canned in
the same way. are best when picked di-
rectly from the tree and canned al
once. If too hard both they and the
Bartletts may be boiled for ten min
utes or less before putting them in the
sirup,
