Is an 1870 hat with a broad feather

shape Rnd huge feathers arranged like
a peacock's tail across the back. 1t
Is curious arrangement, and, while
it has undoubted dash and novelty, 1t
should be worn only by the right
woman. The importance of any new
fashion lies in the way it may be adapt
ed; woman may not want to wear
huge red feathers spreading across the
back OF her head, but she would want
to know that hats are trimmed in the
back.
1t may send her along a new chan
mel and give her half a dozen new
ideas that she may either carry out
herself or impart to a little milliner.
Enormous bows Of velvet or file rib
bon are arranged in windmill effect
across the back of a turban, even
when the turban is small. The new
tendency is to keep the hat fat and
simple in front and lift it up as it
reaches the back. That is the lesson
that is taught by the red feather hat,
as well as by many of It's less eccen-
trio companions.
Peacock Feathers in the Hair.
It may be that there is a general
movement on foot to heighten the head
artificially. At the opera recently. on
a big Caruso night, when all the fash
ionable folk wore their best clothes, a
certain smart woman had three extra
large peacock feathers arranged across
her head; they stood fully five inches
up from her coiffure. It made a very
effective contrast of color against the
red velvet background of the box
Ethel Barrymore was the first one to
wear feathers in the hair but they
were not suited to her particular type
of beauty. The lady in the box had
the small head which is suited to this
garniture.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPLIED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, May 26.-Special: The
war declared by Italy on Austria is
not yet in full swing, but small bat
ties are already under way along the
Italian frontier and the Austrians al
ready have undertaken action against
Italian towns on the east coast with
warships and aeroplanes. The towns
shelled and bombarded include Ven
ice, Ancona, Porto Corsini, Barletta.
Gesi and Potenza.
The bo~mbardment of Ancona is
said TO have lasted about two hours,
and Vienna reports that bombs
thrown on the military building by
the Austrian aeroplanes at several
places and on the arsenal at Venice
caused visible damage and fires.
The Italian authorities, on the 9TH
er hand, declare that the damage vas
slight.
Throughout Italy and Austria the
outbreak of war has been made the
occasion for demonstrations of pa
triotism and loyalty. 1t apparently
has been greeted in both countries as
very favorable, ending in the nego-
tiations which had been going on for
months past for a different and
peaceful settlement. In London, Pa
ris and Petrograd the Italian resi-
dents have held professions. with
banners flying, and many of them
are preparing to join the colors.
Temporarily the Austro-Italian sit
uation has put the active campaign,
both in the east and the west, m
what in the background, although in
these two war zones fighting of the
most serious nature has been going
on. In the east Russia has begun a
a new offensive, the advance of the
Austro-Germans seemingly having
been checked. Vienna, for the first
time in several weeks, has failed in
the latest official communication to
make claims of successes in Galicia,
where the Teutonic allies have been
driving the Russians before them.
The Austro-Germans in this region
have been thrown upon defense, ac-
cording to the Russian war officials.
The British commander In chief on
the continent, Sir John French, re-
ported the evacuation of some
trenches by the British owing to the
asphyxiating gases used by the Ger
mans. The British troops. however.
have made progress in the strategic
ally important territory north of La
Bassee.
From London comes the announce
ment that Italy has engaged not to
conclude a sparate peace with Aus
tria. This is in line with the agree
ment already signed by Great Brit
ain, France and Russia.
The German reply TO the Ameri-
can note has been still further de-
layed by the present occupation of
the foreign office with the Italian de-
velopments. which has allowed no
time for the elaboration OF the draft
Of the note.
While progress has been made in
the formation of a new British coali-
ton cabinet, Premier Asquith is not
yet ready to make public the names
of the new ministry.
A German submarine has sunk the
Norwegian steamer Minerva, bound
from New York for Christiania. An
other steamer which rescued the
crew of the Minerva was narrowly
missed by a torpedo sent at her by
the submarine.
