4 AMBASSADORS
ENJOYS at Paris, London, Vienna,

THI'K ACTION is OMINOUS
Believed to Be Preliminary to An
nouncement of important Decision
by Italian Government.

] The Italian ambassadors at Paris,
London, Vienna and Berlin have been
summoned to Rome to confer with
Foreign Minister Sonnino.
In Rome this action is regarded as
preliminary to the announcement Of
a grave and important decision by
the Italian government.
Signor Tittoni, the ambassador to
France, reached Rome Tuesday even
ing. He left Rome only a fortnight
ago for Paris.
Marchese Carlotti, the ambassador
to Petrograd, will not come back, be-
cause Of the distance and the difficult
ties of travel under the present con-
ditions, but a messenger has been sent
him with instructions.
Austria, it is believed, has close to
10000 troops in Trentino, 1000 at Bo-
vareto, 10O0 at Riya and $4,000 dis
tributed at other points along the
frontier, While 5000 German reinforce
ments are expected.
These troops are faced by a con-
siderable portion OF the Italian army.
The Austrians hold the upper ground, !
and are reported as fortifying strong |
Iy, mounting heavy guns and tearing |
down all buildings in the line of a
possible fire.

The blouse bodice in the picture could
in the event of trimmed costume, be
adorned with braid along it's edges and
be fastened with either braid or fancy
bone buttons. or with braid olives and
loops. Some of the same trimming
should be repeated on the sleeves.
The material in which this dress is
built is striped bengaline, which ma
terial will be very popular. indeed. dur
ing the coming season. The long line
over the hips gives an appearance of
grace and slenderness to the figure, and
there is no reason why stripes should
be worn if some other pattern pleases
better.
This sort of pattern is appropriate for
all kinds of silks and the woods and
wool-and-silk mixtures that are on the
market in such beautiful designs and
colorinSs. Unless you can afford a
number of dresses, avoid stripes They
have been in fashion too long to re-

The dress may be made plain or fancy

Buster Bear Visits the Old
Orchard.

Buster Bear was disappointed when
Chatterer the Red Squirrel reported to
him that he could find no sign of Busy
Bee and her sisters in the Old Orchard.
They certainly flew in that direction.
Buster began to doubt the smartness of
Chatterer. He did for fact. He began
to think that Chatterer was simply a
great boaster and not nearly so smart as
people thought he was. or as he pre-
tended to be. However. he didn't let
Chatterer know this. No. indeed! You
see he was far too wise to make any
such mistake as that. He might want
to use Chatterer again some time.
So he thanked Chatterer very politely
for all the trouble Chatterer had taken
to search the Old Orchard for Busy Bee.
and Chatterer returned to the Old
Orchard feeling very much puffed up be-
cause Buster Bear had done him the
honor of asking his help. He wouldn't

The Seasons Styles.

Shirred velvet hats are much in
vogue. One, OF taupe, is trimmed with
two roses, with fiat velvet petals, one
on each side of the crown. A bit of
gilt cord is used in the center of the
roses.
Striped velour is effectively used in
some Of the new topcoats.
Some Of the new coats button from
the left side over the right.
There are many one sided effects in
the autumn fashions. Trimming is
sometimes used on only one side of a
frock or coat, and sometimes one kind
of trimming is used on one side anoth-
er kind on the other side.
The raglan cut Of sleeve is still used.
ments are used on some of the new
velour coats. especially those for after
noon wear.
From Paris comes news of many
coats worn to match the frocks beneath
them. This, of course, is quite logical
ly an outcome of the return of princess
frocks.
Black velvet ribbon is much in de-
mand for trimming this autumn. 1t
appears in the form of belts and gir-
dies. and is also used for founces.
Navy blue is as fashionable as it has
been for the last two or three seasons.
Some of the new evening coats are
made in cape effect, fitted carefully
over the shoulders, and often with
long, loose sleeves.
The apron effect is introduced into
many Of the new skirts.
