Lombardy and venetia and cutting
Lake Garda. while the second portion
includes the peninsula OF Istria and

into full partnership with the Entente
powers was settled. signed and
sealed"
Tho details of the arrangement by
which Italy becomes an active partt
cipant and a responsible ally Of the
Entente powers in the war have been
in process Of negotiation for some
time. and the final meeting of the am
bassadors with the foreign minister
served merely to ratify the under
standing which had already been
reached.
"As may well be understood" says
the Daily Chronicle correspondent.
this first official meeting Of the, rep
resentatives of the newly born alliance
was most cordial. Az result Of this
official interview am able TO state
that the hitherto existing triple en-

Wafles and Votes.

waffle wagon has been converted into
a votes-for-women vehicle by the Phila-
delphia suifragists. 1t was a perfectly
good wagon with ample space for suf-
frage leaflets and a fine height for suf-
frage speeches. So It was given a coat
Of yellow paint, decorated with gorgeous
yellow banners, and in 1t the suffragists
drove proudly up to the City Hall to
procure a license. A waffle wagon Is a
logical chariot Of woman's freedom,
since waffles and women are a natural
domestic combination. and the vote the
recognized protection of American homes.
All hail, to the transformed conveyance.
May II roll smoothly until November 2
when Pennsylvania voters will assure
victory for the enfranchised women.

Toronto but most of her childhood was
passed in Detroit. Michigan In early
childhood she showed ability as an
actress and at nineteen she was given
an engagement as leading woman In a
series Of shakespearisn productions. In
experienced as she was, this work was
quite beyond her powers and she might
have given up in discouragement had
II not been for the manager James
NJ. Hill, whom she met when she was
twenty-five who, recognising the latent
abilities of the young woman, volunteer
ed to provide her with the best possible
dramatic education II Is estimated that
he devoted $4,000 to her training.
Under his management she made her
debut in Romeo and Juliet and after
that starred for three years In the United
States. In 1855 she parted company
with Mr.. Hill and went under her own
management. A little while before that
she had married a musician of ability
and later. after divorcing her FIRST hus-
band. married Col. Gustav Pabst, or
from whom she was also
divorced on the ground Of incompatibility

But women should not allow them
