The quest for something new in
millinery for fall has begun in earnest
and there is no indication that the
seekers after novelty and beauty will
be disappointed. Ideas originated by
our own American designers. and
some others. which the French. in
spite of the distractions of war, have
had the inspiration and the time to
work out. are more than creditable to
both countries. The new millinery is
rich and chic and sufficiently novel
There is a great variety in graceful
shapes to choose from. Noticeably
prominent are those that tilt upward
at the back. There are many high.

width of brim. This gives the mil

OF things Italian. And II he have

in this Alpine stronghold than he

Italian fervor has a strong absorbing
atmosphere.
Trent's Commanding Site.
The city Of Trent assumed a place
OF prominence in Roman life soon af-
ter the Brenner road had been con-
structed. 1t was the first military
fortress built by the Romans on the
southern slope Of the pass, and from
then to now it has been the most
important stronghold commanding the
entrance to Italy.
Perched on the shoulder of the
mountain. commanding the road and
the river valley, 1t offered an excel
lent site for the balliste and catapults
of the Romans. the trebuchets and
mangonels of the middle ages. and the
muzzle-loading cannon of Napoleon

the great objects of the Italian cam

son as led the Romans first to build

in Austria's hands and Italy has been
at her mercy Until Italy shall have
planted the Cross of Savoy on its tow
ers, where the Eagles Of Rome were
first planted two thousand years ago,
she cannot feel safe in her own house.
But there is another and deeper rea-
son urging the Italian on towards
Trent. 1t is a priceless Jewel from
his crown and he must have 1t back.
For not only is Trent thoroughly Ital-
ian In its people and modes of life,
but all it's artistic beauty is due to
the genius Of Italy.
The famous CASTILLO di Buon Con-
siglio was first erected by Roman
hands. 1t was soldiers barrack. In
the middle ages II was rebuilt and be-
came the palace Of the prince bishop

passed into secular control, and now
the soldiers of Austria stand sentinel

Little of the original fortress re-

Loggie and battlements, in the style
OF the fourteenth century, have been
added; and such wealth of sculpture
and fresco was lavished on the walls
during the Cinquecento that not a
bare spot of the old wall remains.
The result is marvelously pictur-

pouting when he keeps her waiting

BUY 1T NOW.

For more than eight months the
habit of sef-denial has been prac-
ticed by Americans. Whatever
may have been wanted either in
the home, the farm or the shop,
the inclination has been to refrain
from purchasing. 10 save, not to
spend, has been the rule.
The time is at hand to reverse
the order Of things to some extent
The slogan which will lead on to
prosperity is, Buy It Now!
Never was it truer than at this
moment that the prosperity of this
people is in their own hands. By
their own act they can hasten the
end Of the existing depression and
speed the arrival of unexampled
prosperity. That end and that ar
rival are certain and sure to come
in any event, but widespread de-
termination to cast off the ;fetters
of doubt and apprehension caused
by the European war will surely
hasten the day.
The European war, following
fast upon the heavy withdrawal of
gold from this country and the fear
that the United States might be
drawn into the great conflict which
is keenly felt throughout the civil
lied world spread far and wide the
seeds of business distrust and indi-
vidual apprehension of strife and
hard times.
Whrift-~avirtue in it's place-was
carried to the point at which it be-
came vice. Prudence developed
into niggardliness; men ordinarily
forehanded became misers; the an
cient maxim was amended to read,
"Take care of the pennies and lock
up the dollars out Of use.''
The result has been atifnancial
stringencys now happily fast disap-
pearing, and business depression
for which no reason longer exists.
We have safe and sane men at the
helm to direct the national destiny,
and it is time for people again to
