TWO GATEWAYS STILL BARRED

London, Wednesday, April n
Two gateways into Hungary still re
main barred, despite the tremendous
hammering by the Russian forces
and as the Beskid Pass is the less i'm
portant of the two strategically, q
further advance into Hungary hangs
upon the possession of Uzok Pass
where the invaders are meeting with
the most stubborn opposition, but ap-
pear to be making progress.
The report that Emperor William
personally is directing the operations
in the Carpathians is doubtet. as is
also the rumor from Cologne that
Field Marshal Won EIindenburg has
asked for reinforcements to the ex-
tent of 100000 men to undertake an
other campaign against Warsaw. 1t
is thought to be more likely that he
will attempt to divert the attention
of the Russians by a thrust from the
direction of Cracow.
The people of the dual monarchy
are said to be greatly cheered by the
number of German reinforcements
passing through Budapest on the way
to the Carpathian front to take part
in the operations, which are now be-
lieved to be in charge of the German
General Staff.

WHEN MEN WORE MUFFS.
Likewise Silk Stockings and Plaid
Shaws and Capes.


In the good old days about which SO
many men so dreamily read and pro-
fess to reverence, and when men were
believed to be more bold and dashing
and daring than they are now, the muff
was the thing of winter wear for men.
1t was a regular part of gentleman's s
cold weather toilet.
Among Horace Walpole's Christmas
gifts to his friend George MQntagu, In
1916, were Anecdotes Of Painting" a
pamphlet on "Libels," the "Castle of
Otranto" and muff. That was the
period of the muff for men. 1t had
been an article of mems apparel for
many years before, and men retained
the muff for long years afterward, 1t
being cast off when men forswore col
ored silks and satins, rare laces and
ieweled shoe buckles.
1t was not so far back in American
history that men wore silk stockings
not merely silk socks-and knee gar
ters and fancy garter buckles, and
many men walking the streets Of
Washington today remember when
their sex wore brilliant plaid shawls
and when the cloth cape, called n
"talma," was the height of masculine
fashion. Now and then one sees a
gentleman of the old school walking
along with a gold headed care and
wearing Il somewhat motheaten, frayed
or shiny "talma. Washington star.
