In answer to a phone call. we spent a
 half day at Avondale park. The message
 was this: eWili you lunch with us at the
 park tomorrow Avondale, of course" l
 knew there was treat in store. because
 had lunched with this good woman bs-
 fore, and she told me they would have their work with them for the day I knew l was to meet some very sensible women I and that she had driven to a most beau ] tiful spot for an informal picnic. bringing ! her dinner hot, almost with her-tne au- | tomobile route. A great, full vegetable dinner and a desert of strawberries, served under a great oak tree on the grass. At dinner time the men folks | Joined us and not minute was lost from a pleasant time. There is always some thing to be learned from a half dozen practical women and these housekeepers are busy workers in their homes, besides they are getting ready for the fair Mrs. c. M. Brown of Graves mines and Mrs.
 A. M. Bond of Avondale and their guests. When women get together these days it is not unusual for the all important sub ject of saving to be a topic. Methods pursued to bring about the desired bank accounts are very interesting and profita- ble and to this end each one has an indi- vidual plan.
 The woman said, and she Is a very prac- tieal housekeeper: When I heard of the advanced price of meat, I went down for little talk with my outcher and he gave me some useful suggestions. One thought I especially carried home with me for use In economizing, I reckon there comes a day in every home when there must be a less expensive menu, and for the meat course a stew is made.
 From the butcher I learned that the meat nearest the neck of the animal was the tenderest selection for such a dish, and that it was several cents less a pound. Now this has proven good lesson. ami
 in talking with others 1 have been glad to give them the advantage of my findings at the market.
 T do not know how to estimate the cost of different sections of my monthly ex- penses. she said, when asked if she could show her expense account, but an easy way to tell you is this: My husband hands me his monthly check and I spend it all,
 yet 1 am not one bit extravagant."

What the Demands Comprised

These demands comprised: The ex-
 tension of the boundary in Trentino
 new boundary on the lsonzo special
 provision for Triest; the cessiol Of certain islands of the Ourlzolari
 archipelago: the abandonment of Aus trian claims in Alb la and the recog
 milton of our possession of Avlona and the islands of the Aegean sea which we occupied during our war with Turkey. At first our demands Were cate gorically rejected. IL was not until , another month of conversation that Austria Hungary was induced to in crease the zone of territory she was ,reoared to cede In addition the Austro- Hungarian government maintained its determination not to make the cession effective before the erd of the war. While ad- roitting the possibility of recognizins some of our interestes in Avlona and
 granting territorial cession in the
 Trentino, the Austro- Hungarian gov
 ernment persisted in it's opposition to
 all our other demands, especially those
 egarding the boundary of the Isonzo Triest and the islands.
 l .'The attitude assumed by Austria Hun- gary made it evident that she Was at | tempting to temporize without ccoming {, 1 a conclusion. Under such circumstances ] Italy was confronted by the danger oi l lDSlnS IOTeNeT tHS tppoAtuhtts Vi iVahAiie her aspirations based upon tradition, ma. I tjona,ity and her desire for safe pest ton on the Adriatic while other contin- gencies in the European conflict menaced her principal interests in other seas. Hence | italy faced the necessity and duty of re- covering that liberty of action to which l she was. entitled and of seeking protec- ton for her interests apart from the no
 gotiations which had been dragging uss lessly along for five months and without reference to the treaty of alliance winch virtually had failed as result of its an
 nulIment by the actiono of Austria-H dn l gary in July. 1914.

Servia constituted moreover q direct en- troachment upon the general interests of Italy both political and economical, in the Balkan peninsula On a number of occasions, therefore Italy gave Austria to understand. in friend ly but clear terms, that the independ- ence of Servia was considered by Italy as essential to Balkan equllibr' um Aus tro- o-Hungary was further advised that Italy could never permit that equilib- rum to be disturbed to her prejudice. This warning had been conveyed not only by her diplomatics in private con- versations with responsible Austro- Hun garian officials, but was proclaimed publicly by Italian statesmen on the floors of Parliament.

 trustworthy information that the com plete programme laid do wn by Austria Hungary with reference to the Balkans was prompted by desire to decrease Italy's economical and political influ-
 ence in that section and tended direct ly and indirectly to the subservience
 of Servia to Austria Hungary, the polit- iea and territorial isolation of Monte negro, and the isolation and political deeadence of Roumania.
 This attempted diminution of the in huence of Italy in the Balkans would 1 have been brought about by the Austro Hungarian programme even though | Austria Hungary had no intention of making further territorial acquisitions. | q
 Article VII of the treaty of the 1 triple alliance recognized the right of compensation to the other con
 tracting parties in case one should oc- cupy temporarily or permanently any section of the Balkans.
 ITO this end the Italian government approached the Austro- Hungarian gov ernment immediately upon the inaugur- alton of Austro- Hungarian hostilities against Servia, and sucCS led in at taining reluctant acauiescence in the Italian representations.
