The unusual and distinguished style of this costume has been achieved by the employment of familiar mate rials. White yoile. very fine in quail ity, filet lace, with an open mesh. soutache braid, and pearl buttons are all staple goods well known and well loved.
 The pretty fashion of posing one transparent fabric over another shows to excellent advantage in the skirt. The underskirt of veile is full and round. Above the two-inch hem there are seven narrow tucks an inch and a half apart. Just above the knees a band of braiding, in an ornamental scroll pattern, is applied all around the underskirt, finishing it's decora- tion.
 The overdress of filet lace does not extend to the bottom of the under skirt, but is shorter by about nine inches. It is gathered in at the waist line with the voile. leaving a panel of the underskirt uncovered at the front, for the lace does not extend across the entire front of the gown. It is caught up and fastened to the underskfrt just below the knees at each side, forming a slight drape

GREAT STRUGGLE
 FOR FRzEMYSL
AUSTRo-GERMAN ARMIES MAX. ING SUPREME EFFORT TO CUT
 OFF THE STRONGHOLD.
EFFORT TO EkCIRCLE TOWN
There Has Been Considerable Fight. ing Along the Yser Canal, But
 Claims Are Conflicting.

London. = Around the great fort. ress of Przemysl a mighty battle Is still raging. The Austro-G German armies are making a supreme effort to cut off the stronghold and free these armies for operations against Italy and the allies in the west
 Although great human sacrifices are being made, progress latterly has been extremely slow as the Russians have had time to bring up large rein. fereements.
 North of Pr4emysi the Russians ap- pear to be more than holding their own. but to the southeast the Aus trians and Germans claim further headway and now command with their artillery the railway between Przemysl and Grodek, which runs just south of the main line between Pr emysl and Lemberg. From Lem berg the Russians draw a large DOT. tion of their endorsements and sup plies.
 The battle is still undecided and hopes run high in the allied camps that the Russians can hold their lines until the advance of the Italians and the strengthening of the Anglo French armies compel the Germans to with, draw part of their armies from Ga. licia.
 In the west there has been consider. able fighting along the Yser Canal, where the French report the occupa. tion of German trenches, and in the vicinity of Neuville, St. Vast. where the French advanced about a. quarter of mile.
 The German official statement says that after a ten-hour artillery attack east of the Yser Canal the allies were repulsed.

SITUATION IN MEXICO
 IS GROWING WORSE
PRESIDENT WILSON SAYS coNpI- TONS ARE FAST BECOMING
 INTOLERABLE.

Washington.-Pres Wilson. as head of the American Red Cross is sued an appeal to the American peo- pie to contribute money ard supplies of food for the relief of starving Mex jeans. At the same time this state ment was made public at the White House:
 When the presidents appeal for aid for the Mexicans was issued it. was also stated at tHe executive of flee that a statement from the presi- dent on the present situation in Mexi- co might be expected within the next few days"
 Despite the refusal of White House officials to discuss the presidents con- templated statement. it was under stood it will be in the nature of mo- tiee that conditions in Mexico are fast becoming intolerable. While it will not give notice that the United States intends to intervene immediately, it is expected to serve as a warning to the Mexican leaders that conditions must improve.

For many generations the Panama hat was woven In one shape. and 1t took much urging and good manage ment on the part of those who bought and imported the genuine South Amer iean Panama hat to persuade the na- tive makers to produce other shapes. But finally this was accomplished and now one may buy Panama in almost any shape. Not all the hats known by this name are South American prod ucts (there are Panamas and Pana- mas). but whether made in Japan or Connecticut, or brought from it's na- tive home. the Panama is a beautiful product
 It is and is likely to continue to be the ideal hat for midsummer outing wear, for sports and for travelling. It is soft enough to be comfortable, and uncrushable and firm enough to need no support. It is made with the inten- crown. and for shading the eyes, as to the brim. But in the past few seasons it has been possible to get Panamas with very wide brims. and these have added one more ro the number of wide-brimmed straws used for the picturesque fiower-laden millinery of midsummer.
 But the hat that is dearest to the heart of lovers of the Panama is that which keeps as close as possible to ..., ...., .s..-.ish shane or va.

of the materials is reversed, and voile appears over filet net. It hangs straight and boxlike from the shoulders to at least six inches below the normal waist line. Small tucks play very im- portant part in it's construction, ap- bearing over the shoulders and part way across the front They supply the required scant fullness in the ma terial that is caught in by the garni- ture of braiding at the bottom. The braiding is in silk soutache like that in the skirt, with the pattern wid- ened at the front The long plain sleeves are finished with small tucks in a group of seven on the forearm and second group of five on the up- per arm. A narrow pattern in the braiding outlines the arm 's-eye.
 There is tall standing turnover collar of voile and tie of narrow black velvet is brought twice around the throat It supports the collar close under the chin and terminates in two long ends at the front.
 The fiower-trimmed leghorn hat with sash ends of wide black velvet ribbon. and the low shoes of black and white kid, are details not to be lost sight Of ii completing a toilette of exceptional beauty.

riation that does not seem to chang it's character. Three popular shapes selected from this seasons showing of Panamas are illustrated here. They are to be recommended as practical and becoming and correct in type.
 These hats are usually very simply trimmed with bands of silk, ribbon or linen Flat rosettes or hanging scarf ends are favorite decorations, and not to be improved upon. The wide brimmed shapes are sometimes swathed with malines and finished with huge bows of this fabric. Occa- sionally flowers or feathers adorn them. But narrow-brimmed Panamas are trimmed in the simplest manner possible.
 The fine South American Panama, if well cared for, will stand many seasons wear. These hats can be cleaned and reblocked if one wishes to change the shape. But it is better to swathe the hat in wide silk or chif- fon scarf than to reblock it. and to wear it in its original shape A hat so fine, so shapely and sensible will always look well.
 It seems pity to wear out hat whose making involves such pains taking and wonderful work, by using a hat pin. In fine hat it is better to sew hat fasteners in the band and secure 1t to the head in this way JULIA BoTTOMlEY.

AMERICAN STEAMER
 IS HIT BY TORPEDO
CREW TOOK TO BOATS AND STOOD BY THE STEAMER
 SEA WAS CALM.

Eondon.-The American steamer Nebraskan, Capt Greene, from Liver pool, May 24, for Delaware breakwa ter. was torpedoed by a submarine al a point 40 miles west-southwest oi Fastnet. off the south coast of Ire land
 The sea was calm at the time The stood by the steamer. It was soon as certained that the Nebraskan was not seriously damaged. She had been struck forward and her foreholds were full of water.
 The crew returned on board and got lost among the crew. The Nebraskan did not carry any passengers.
 The foregoing information was re ceived by the British admiralty in London, and 1t was at once eommu nicated to the American embassy.
 Immediately she was struck the Ne braskan began calling for help by wireless. Browhead received the wireless communication from Crook haven.
 The torpedoing of the Nebraskan apparently occurred before g o'clock at night.
 All foreign vessels leaving Liver pool recently have had their names and nationalities painted in large let. ters on their sides and have flown large flags A message to the Lloyds says an armed trawler went to the assistance of the Nebraskan and stood by her all night.
 The German submarine campaign Is continuing actively. Dispatches from Norway say the people of that country have been aroused by the sinking last week of the Norwegian steamer Minerva and the attempt to torpedo the Iris. which went to her assistance.
 The steamer Cromer, loaded with passengers, had narrow escape while bound for Rotterdam. A sub marine fired torpedo without warn ing, but missed by 15 yards. This at. tack occurred four miles north of North Hinder lightship.
 A message to the Star from Liver pool says that the name and nation ality of the Nebraskan were painted in large letters on her sides.
