TREMBLES ON WAR BRINK

London--Center Of interest on the
eastern front again has shifted with
the announcement from Petrograd that
a great battle is developing on the
left bank Of the river Vistula at a
point to the west and also southwest
Of Warsaw
1t is not yet clear judging from mes
sages reaching London, which side has
taken the offensive, but inspired
sources, both in Berlin and Petrograd,
have been limiting lately that vital
operations might well be expected in
this region. Messages from the Rus
sian capital have declared that the Old
field Of action in the direction Of
Posen and Siesia alone could serve
as the decisive battle ground while
Berlin has been predicting another
brilliant action in the direction Of
Warsaw by Field Marshal Won linden
burg.
No great activity has been reported
elsewhere on the eastern front, except
at Rawa, to the south Of Warsaw,
where German army headquarters
claim the capture Of 3,400 Russians, 1t
is possible that this action may be
part Of the great battle which Petro-
grad says is now under way, Attacks
and counter attacks from the text Of
both the Paris and Berlin official com.
munications covering events In tue
battle front but there is no indica-
tion Of \ decisive gain by either side.
Attempts by the allied feet to force
passage Of the Dardanelles has caused
ferment in the near east, which has
reached the proportions Of a cabinet
crisis in Greece,
No new cabinet has as yet been
announced, and King Constantine may
have great difficulty in forming a gov.
crnment with the popular former Pre-.
mier Veniaelos leading the opposition.

4 BABY JUST THE SAME.

tBy (. Edward Cone) There's a tiny little maiden Who plays meath the spruce tree
 slim,
 By the side of a lonely cabin On the bank Of the Kuskokwim. She is a dark-skinned little elf And l cant pronounce her name. But she smiles as l stoop 10 kiss her Shes baby just the same Sometimes l see her playing Inside. on the cabins floor; And she smiles q sweet, shy greeting As l pass the cabins door. S' has neither toys nor dolly. So she plays a lonely game With s puppy for q piaymate- Shes baby just the same. Her face is round and dimpled. Her skin is a nut-brown hue: Yet if you could see her smiling 1 am sure you'd love her too. Tho she's dark, and sometimes dirty, She is surely not to blame, Tho she's but a little Indian, Shes baby just the same.

IN PLACE OF coRsErs.

Is the corset passing, and will another generation look back upon it as one of the antiquated archives of dress?
 During the past decade corsets haye been growing more and more supine and boneless-as fashion has more and more highly esteemed the natural sil ouette-and new comes along the fin de siecle slipon which frankly takes the place of the old fashioned stay.
 The slipon is made of strong tricot mesh material and elastic webbing cunningly put together in gussets and gores so that the tube-like garment fits the hips and thighs as closely as and elastic stocking hugs a sprained knee. There are no faces no hooks, no eyelets on the slipon Woman draws it on precisely as man draws on his neither garment except that the slipon is not bifur- cated. It extends from waistline to knee and garters are attached at the lower edge.

 EGG TO SETTLE COFFEE
 The old-lashioned method of nak- ing coffee clear with egg is good way. For this sort of coffee use rather coarsely ground beans. Mix the coffee grounds with cold water, just enough to moisten them to the consistency Of a paste. Use a gen erous tablespoonful of grounds for each cupful wanted
 Add tablespoonful of beaten egg. or else the egg shell, which has been washed before it Is opened, or else little white of egg, whipped up with a little water until it is of the consistency to mix easily with { e coffee grounds.
 Half fill the pot with boiling, bubbling water. and cover it. Bring ii to the boiling point over low neat, Then fill it to the top with boiling water and set it on the back of the stove for a few moments 10 settle
 FRENCH METHOD
 English people are prOverbially poor coffee makers. It is said in England that the reason for poor coffee there is that the water of the land is not the right sort for good coffee. This is an interesting if an inadequate excuse for national fail ing.
 The French, noted for good coffee generally follow the drip method. The iungarians make true cafe au lait. That is to say. they boil the grounds in milk and then strain them out. The French cafe au lait IS made by mixing hot milk with black coffee at the table or just before it is sent to the table.

 According to the advice of phy- sician, palpitation of the heart can always be arrested by bending double-the head down and the hands hanging-so as to produce temporary congestion of the upper part of the body. In nearly every instance of nervous or anemic pal pitation the heart immediately re- sumes it's normal function.

DRAINING HINTS.

Darning Is an accomplishment which most of us find necessary to practice. A few hints may help, therefore. to solve some Of the dif- ficulties Of this work.
 A very essential thing to consider s the needle. which should always be large enough to carry the thread easily. If the eye of the needle Is too small. the thread will gather into a knot at the eye. This will prevent the work from being smooth and even. and besides there will be the difficulty of pulling the needle through the goods.
 The material to be darned should be pasted over heavy paper or pu, into small pair of embroidery
