 Austrians Attacking
 Italian Front

London, May 25.-(1Os40 D. n.)-Aus- tria has struck first with her navy and aircraft along Itnly's east coast, Italy promptly encountered by throwfnc z troops across the northeastern frontier and occupying a stretch of Austrian territory along the River Isonzo. Thus, although Field Marshal von Hinden- burg. who has reputation for forcing matters, is reported in command of the Austro-German troops along the new front. Italy, in n sense, has forestaIIe,I him.
 Rome officially announces that the Ital- ians have occupied a number of compara- lively important towns and have com pelled the Austrians to retreat.
 This, in brief, summarizes the first 36 hours of the newest phase of the ever widening European conflict, which, being new, appeals to the popular imagination, in the other war theatres.
 The rapid stroke of the Italian army would seem to bespeak long prepara- ton, bearing out what the press of the allied countries contended montns ago, that Italy would throw in her lot with the entente and was only waiting for an op- perfume time. Romes first bulletin deal ing with the movements of the army indi- cates that two movements are under way -one to the northward. toward the Carnic Alps, the other through the region of Friuli, ostensibly aimed at Triest and the Istrian peninsula. Cervignano, one of tho Austrian towns occupied by the Italians is only about 10 miles inland from the Gulf of Triest. Both thrusts should develop severe fighting.

of fur and two pendant balls of steel
beads finish this jaunty but refined bit
of headwear.
The muff is made by laying the vel
vet in irregular plaits over bed and
gathering in the ends to achieve the
fashionable barrel shape. At each end
pointed cuff Of velvet Is lined with
satin in the same color. A broad band
of the fur crosses the front, and a
narrow band extends part way about
one side. A cluster of little fruits,
made of satin In bright colors and COW
cred with silver tricotine, adds little
playful touch of brilliance, posed in
the middle of the broad fur band.
The neckpiece is merely band OF
fur finished with cuff of velvet, like
those on the muff, gathered up and
sewed to the end of the band. The
ends of the neckpiece overlap and
fasten with snap fasteners.
These are two very strong points
to consider in the matched sets. They
unity the costume and they are very
inexpensive as compared to fur. just

Salmon Thrive In Maine.

Success has been met by the bu-
reau of fisheries in establishing hump
back salmon on the Maine coast, &C
cording to reports from that terri
tory. The fish were planted in Febru-
airy, 1914. Many fish weighing i've
to seven and half pounds have been
taken or seen in Penobscot river. Me-,
and twenty were captured alive by
agents of the bureau near Bangor and
held in an effort to obtain ripe eggs.
From two of these fish 5000 eggs were
taken September 6, and. after fertili-
cation, sent to the Craig Brook hatch
cry for incubation. Local fishermen
caught and ate large numbers, and an
employee of the Green Lake hatchery
took fifteen fish last week. These had
passed through the fishways in dams
in Dennys river and were dropping
down stream in a spent condition; at
the same time both live and dead fish
were observed below the dams.

Now that the holidays are within
mailing distance. those who anticipate
the demand for all the pretty tribes
of adornment and apparel that women
love are preparing their alluring wares.
These are being introduced by mer-
chants, with a recommendation or
early shopping.
Those who are wise enough to save
themselves the fatigue of the frantic
rush which comes just before Christ
mas will find any number Of gifts al
ready in the shops. The merchant
shows many of them to help the sale
of the materials used for making
them. Neckwear, ribbon, novelties
and pretty boudoir caps, fancy aprons
and nearly all fancy work are dis
played, to suggest to the gift-seeker
ways of using materials.
Here are two pretty boudoir caps
among the numbers that have just
emerged from the workroom. They
are among those that are easiest to
make and are always attractive to
Christmas shoppers.
The cap made of net has plaque

equipment could be added and much
could be done for the betterment Of

Taupe velvet and opossum fur are
used to make this three-piece set, which
includes turban, neckpiece and muff
to match. These matched sets are
wonderfully chic and elegant when
they are well designed. They embody
the luxury of fur and the richness of
velvet, and admit a greater play OF
fancy in their designing than is prac-
tical for the furrler, who works with
furs alone.
Plush as we'll as velvet is used in
combination with furs for making
matched sets. 1t has the richness and
suppleness OF velvet but not as wide
q range of successful colors.
In the set shown in the picture the
taupe velvet is very much like the
warm gray of the fur next the skin.
This gray makes background for the
white and very dark markings which
appear In the long hairs. The rakish
turban is successful because it is de-
veloped in sedate colors. 1t consists
of a crown piece made of a small
circle of velvet with puff shirred
about it, and coronet, which is mar

Pretty Street.

A type of house that is suitable for
almost any suburban locality is the
frame house, with the exterior walls
of clapboards or shingles. In building
frame house, however, it is neces-
sary to have a design that is fitted
for the site. With either clapboards
or shingles, an exposed foundation OF
brick or stone is correct. Solid con-
crete, as well as the stucco finish on
a wooden frame, also lend themselves
to certain styles Of architectural work.
Another attractive combination Is
the first story Of concrete or stucco
with an upper story of shingles. A
good combination is dark red stucco
lower story with green or weathered
shingles above. The roof Of this
type of house should be tile and
should be of a sloping and rambling
construction SO as to bring into play
all the color in the roof material to
offset the upper story Of the house.
