sage of the Dardanelles if not rem
dered impossible will be so indefin-
itely delayed as to enable Germany
in the meantime to follow up her
successes against Russia and turn the
whole current of the war in her
favor.
This. at least, is the way the great
European powers now involved in
the conflict view the situation and
that is why the lobby is here.
In Europe they do not call it lob
bying. Il passes under the more po-
lite term of diplomacy. In reality.
however, there is not a method nor
a tactic known to the most common
or the most distinguished lobbyist
at Washington or any American state
capitol that is not being used to win
over the various members of the Bull
garian cabinet, the members of par
lament, the political leaders, the
heads of the army and even Car
Ferdinand. the queen and the crown
prince themselves. 1t may be that
diplomacy and lobbying are merely
the European and the American
terms for the one and the same thing
or it may be that the issue at stake
is so great that the exalted and dig
nified diplomacy OF Europe has been
reduced 10 the methods and prac-
tices of the yulgarest and most com

The lobby is naturally divided in
to two great camps. that OF Ger

cine. that is now being introduced
with such signal success in Fort
Worth and Dallas. is J. p. Thompson,
a well known farmer. who lives
about three miles west of Fort
Worth on the Benbrook road.
Mr.. Thompson. who was in Fort
Worth last week, said: Il have suf-

and kidney trouble for, perhaps. ten
years. My stomach seemed raw. /
did not digest my food and at times l
was down in bed with backache. ]
read the many testimonials of peo-
pie who had taken Tanlac and talk
ed with some of my neighbors who
are taking it. and being convinced of
what was said about II, / secured
several bottles and have been taking
it regularly for some time.
"Tanlac has relieved me of the
pain in my back and my stomach
seems like it has been made over
again. After ten years of trouble
can now "a everything / want once
more. / am glad to recommend Tan

loon, a glitter of gold and silver
embroidery, or a twist and fold OF
lustrous metallic gauze about IT
somewhere.
For evening gowns the metallic
materials are most effective, es-
pecially the gorgeous brocades OF
old blue and gold, silver and old
rose and many wondrous color
combinations. They look like pro-
ducts of the looms of and
seem to give the lie to the broad
hint that pastel tints would be the
only things in the color line for
the coming season. These magnifi-
cent metailine materials are nat
urally made up on the simplest
straight lines. depending solely on
their own beauty for adornment.
The princess lines that are al
ready casting their curveful shad-
ows before are perfect when car
ried out in these fantastic fabrics.
The straight hung medieval effects
are also good. Obviously these gor-
geous garments are to be worn
only by the most stately and ANA
zonian of the sex but let not the
petite and clinging vine despair.
She may metallize as we'll by touch
ing up a frothy frock of net with
high lights of gold or silver gauze.
Such a fascinating CONNECTION is
an evening gown of white tulle.
The multi-layered skirt has its in
ner layer bound around its ankle
length with a fold of silver gauze
while the shorter outer layer is
caught up in kirtle effect ON each
side with a cluster of silver gauze
garlands. The bodice consists of a
wisp of the tulle over each shout
der. a wide girdle of the silver and
a spray of the silver blooms at the
corsage. A more delectable cos
tune were hard to imagine unless
it be a vision of blush rose tulle
whose fluffy skirt is caught high up
on the left side with long loops of
purple velvet ribbon over a petit
coat Of golden gauze. A wide girdle
of the gold is held in its proper
place by a fluff of the tulle over
n shoulder and a band of the
purple over the other.
Embroidery in gold and silver
threads and steel and copper beads
is another favorite method of
transmitting metals into garments
and indeed a most striking one il

Silver threads among the gold

You are on your mettle, dear,

There is hardly enough change in
the war news this week to entitle it
to a special headline. Steady fighting
has been going on and the usual num-
ber of warships and other vessels des-
troyed, along with destroyer or two.
AS a result of the fighting advantages
are first given to one side then the
other. Through It all the demand
grows for American made goods and
American products. A memoranda of
Mexican events is about as follows:
The arrest Of Huerta, former Mexican
and Gen. Orozco in Ell Paso by
this government for alleged conspir-
acy; the escape of Orozco; the thick
ening of new revolution in Mexico
and effort to procure machine guns
to back it up. Authorities are said
to believe that European countries are
back of the Huerta conspiracies.
