T AM one, you must know, who am looked
/ upon as n humorist in gardening. I have
several acres about my house, which l call
my garden and which n skiful gardener
would not know what to call 1t Is a confu-
sion OF kitchen and parterre, orchard and
flower garden, mixed and interviewer
with one another. My flowers grow up
in several parts of the garden in the greatest
luXuriancy and profusion. so far from
being fond of any particular one, by reason
of its rarity, and If I meet with any one in
field which pleases me- I give 1t place in my
garden.
BY this means, when q stranger walks with
me, he is surprised to see several large spots
of ground covered with ten thousand different
colors, and has often singled out flowers he
might have met with under common hedge,
in a field in n meadow. as some of the
greatest beauties of the place, The only
method that observe in this particular is to
range in the same quarter the products of the
same season. that they may make their ap-
pearance together, and compose a picture of
the greatest variety.
There is the irregularity in my plan

as their natures will permit. I take in none
that do not naturally rejoice in the soil; and

SECOND GREAT CRISIS
OF EUROPEAN WAR
Since Leipzig No Meeting of Armies
Has Meant So Much to So Many
People, Nations and Continents as
the Battle in Carpathians.
BY FRANK H. s1MoNDs

IF 1T be accepted as true that the first
L great crisis Of the present conflict came
In early September when Germany APP
preached Paris and seemed about to dispose
of France, II is not less patent that we are
now facing second crisis equally great, but
this time involving the fate not Of France
but OF Austria.
At the Battle Of the Marine France saved
herself and Europe from German supremacy.
In the w-covered passes of the Carpa-
thans Austria Is battling not merely to save
herself. desperate as her own plight now Is,
but to save her greater alR. For IL Russian
armies again crown the Carpathians and flow
back into tho Hungarian Plain not even the
most optimistic German can reasonably ex-
pect ultimate victory.
In Vienna and in Berlin it is equally well
recognized that the Battle Of the Carpathlans
marks crucial point in their fortunes. More
important than the military are the political
issues involved. Russian defeat at the
Masurian Lakes was followed by a sudden
cooling of the ardor of Rumanan. Italian,
Greek and Bulgarian. Those who with
out direct interest were concerned only by
questions of spoil and ACKNOWLEDGMENT found
in Russian disaster full warrant to delay
their own operations.

Cracow the Gate to Berlin

On the military side Austrian defeat in
the present conflict would compel the i'm
mediate withdrawal of Austrian troops from
Russian Poland. Cracow is the gate to
Silesia, to Berlin. not to Vienna The army
corps of Francis Joseph which are defending
German frontiers behind the Nida and east
OF Cracow will he needed ON the Thesis and
the Danube If the Czar can force the Dukla
gateway to, the Hungarian Plain.
To Germany must then fall the whole task
OF defending her eastern marches at the pre-
else moment when Anglo-F French armies are
opening the long promised spring campaign
and from Switzerland to the North Sea new
myriads are breaking against the dixie Ger
man military genius has erected in hostile
lands.

The Meaning to Italy

And Italy-who now doubts the meaning Of
her waiting? But If she waits until Hun
gary has collapsed until the guns of the
Queen Elizabeth and the soldiers of General
d'Amade have opened the Dardanelles, why
should France or England or Russia pay her
a pourboire for neutrality out of the profit
they have amassed by rude and terrible
labor?
In European history it is doubtful If any
battle has had so grave immediate possibili-
ties as that of the Carpathians since the
great Napoleon lost Leipzig and all his allies
Those who still hesitated, held back no longer
when the terrible Battle of the Nations"
was decided The doom of the Napoeonic
empire sealed about the Saxon capital,
although the final act took place in France
at Fontainebleau.

Austria Faced With Ruin

But the capture of Przemys the roar OF
allied cannon along the Dardanelles, the far
less considerable but distinct British triumph
at Neuve Chapele-the cumulative effect Of
these is unmistakabe in dispatches that come
from Rome from Bucharest from Athens;
even Sofia now hestates between ancient in
juries and profits the future promises
decisive Austrian defeat in the mountains
will mean the invasion of Hungary. 1t will
necessitate the evacuation of Pennsylvania
and Bukowina, which will be open to Ru-
manian invasion.
For Rumania, then. to hesitate at this
time will be to permit Russia to pluck the
fruit, and Russia may well decline to share
provinces conquered with a small neighbor
whose caution conquered her avarice.
For Austria one more defeat must mean
ruin Hungary, swept by Cossack hordes,
will not long consent to fight at home the
battle for Germany which the Kaiser's hosts
still carry on in Poland, Belgium and France.
The onrush of Rumanian and Russian
armies the inevitable incursion of Servians
from the south-these will bring Budapest to
a new and unmistakable position.

The Effect on the Western Front

With Russian troops in Hungary, with
Italian armies laundering at the Tyrolean
and Dalmatian gates, with Rumanian troops
flowing through Transylvania to join hands
with Russians and Servians in the valley of
the Danube, will Austria, if she still endures,
fail to demand that Germany draw back her
garrisons from conquered provinces to clear
the home land of her stricken ally?
Military men the world over frankly ques-
tion the ability of the Anglo French armies
TO "turn the Germans out of France" With
such force as they now have, with the great
resources of artillery at their command the
Germans are generally believed to be capable
of holding their present lines for a spring
and summer campaign. But IL Austria must
be rescued, Budapest as we'll as Cracow COW

For many generations the Panama
took much urging and good manage
ment on the part of those who bought
and imported the genuine South Amer
lean Panama hat to persuade the ma
tive makers to produce other shapes.
But finally this vas accomplished and
now one may buy a Panama in almost
any shape. Not all the hats known by
this name are South American prod
ucts, (there are Panamas and Pana-
mas), but whether made In Japan or
Connecticut, or brought from its ma
tive home, the Panama is a beautiful
product.
1t is and is likely to continue to be
the ideal hat for midsummer outing
wear. for sports and for travelling. 1t
Is soft enough to be comfortable, and
u~ncrushable and firm enough to need
nc support. 1t is made with the inten-
ton Of fitting the head, as to the
crown, and for shading the eyes. as to
the brim. But in the past few seasons
1t has been possible to get Panamas
with very wide brims, and these have
added n more to the number of
wide-brimmed straws used for the
picturesque fiower-laden millinery Of
midsummer.

heart of lovers of the Panama is chat

The unusual and distinguished style
of this costume has been achieved
by the employment of familiar mate
rails. White wolfe, very fine in quail
ity, filet lace, with an open mesh,
soutache braid, and pearl buttons are
all staple goods well known and well
loved.
The pretty fashion of posing one
transparent fabric owe another shows
to excellent advantage in the skirt.
The underskirt of wolfe is full and
round. Above the twoinch hem there
are seven narrow tucks an inch and
a half apart. Just above the knees a
band of %braiding, in an ornamental
scroll pattern, is applied all around
the underskirt, finishing its decora-
ton.
The overdress of ilet lace does not
extend to the bottom of the under
skirt, but is shorter by about nine
inches. 1t is gathered in at the waist
line with the voile, leaving a panel
of the underskirt uncovered at the
front, for the lace does not extend
across the entire front of the gown.
1t is caught up and fastened to the
underskirt just below the knees at
each side, forming a slight drape.

"moyen age" inspiration, the draping

of the materials is reversed, and wolfe
appears over filet net. 1t hangs straight
and boxlike from the shoulders to at
least six inches below the normal
waist line. Small tucks play a very i'm
portant part in its construction, ap-
pearing over the shoulders and part
way across the front. They supply
the required scant fullness in the ma
terial that is caught in by the garni-
ture of braiding at the bottom. The
braiding is in silk soutache like that
in the skirt, with the pattern wild
ened at the front. The long plain
sleeves are finished with small tucks
in a group of eve on the forearm
and a second group of five on the up
per arm. A narrow pattern in the
braiding outlines the arm's-eye.
There is a tall standing turnover
collar of voile and a tie of narrow
black velvet is brought twice around
the throat. 1t supports the collar
close under the chin and terminates
in two long ends at the front.
The fiower-trimmed leghorn hat
with sash ends of wide black velvet
ribbon. and the low shoes of black
and white kid, are details not to be
lost sight of in completing a toilette
of exceptional beauty.
