Those familiar with the famous por-
traits of the French, Italian and Spanish
schools of the periods OF Directory, the
Consulate, and the Restoration, also the
Louis ~. and Louis VI. periods, will
instantaneouSly recognize that the styles
launched this spring are almost direct
copies of the renowned pictures. Al
most exactly the silhouettes of the period
of 1890 to 1880 are those that we well
come as new creations which, in truth,
are only revisions Of older styles-"old
friends under new names
/ The woman of today appreciates to
the fullest extent that clothes play vast
part in everyday life. Everyone has
tgood points that should be emphasized.
Dressing we'll is making the study of
your personality. The styles taken
from former periods for today's use are
full of feminine coquetry, and, since
beauty is a palace of happiness, let us
iaim to make the best of Natures gifts.
Fabrics are as flexible as fashions for
fabrics must conform to fashions de-
1crees. Many new materials have ap-
tpeared. We have tricot serge, serge
woven similar to a knitted fabric and
lone which deserves to take its place with
either serge or Gabardine. A new ma
Eterial of silk and wool has not only the
appearance of alpaca, but the wearing
qualities. Surge foulard has the appear
lance of silk foulard.
Dress patterns of black or blue, with
machine embroidery borders, are in evil
'dence. Silk jersey in many colors is en-
Eployed in unexpected and various ways.
Novelty cloths in plain and fancy ef-
fleets and checks in combination or stripes
ior with plain goods are favored. Broad
cloth, like many other staple materials,
has heen revived. III

Cording, helnstitcIling and rows OF
machine stitching, executed with rather
long stitch, are resorted to for TRIM
mlngs.
Yoke line empiecements and drop
shoulder effects have evidently to occupy
the attention of the blouse designers.
Buttons are distinct trimming feature.
An orange linen sport dress, giving the
effect OF sport suit, has the skirt about
two and one-half inches wide, which is
plain trimmed only with a row of black
buttons. The coat part has black leather
collar and cuffs, which are adjustable.
1t buttons down the center with black
buttons. A loose belt ties in front. At
each side are slanting pockets.
An afternoon dress of Reseda green
taffeta was admired by those who liked
the waist on tight fitted lines. The waist
is tinsel embroidered with sash at side
front Sleeves Of Georgette with fancy
cuff of embroidered taffeta. The skirt
is mounted with three tiers edged with
cord, the lower one having hem Of the
Georgette.
A dress portraying the 1880 influence

are edged with band Of Chinese de-

Blue serge and chiffon were combined
in a three-piece costume, the novel point
of which was the slip-over coat with
sleeves OF chiffon. The lower half
OF the coat is OF serge with deep
hem of chiffon. This is belted at the
normal waistline. The full skirt has a
yoke OF gathered serge. The middle por-
ton is of chiffon and finished with a
wide serge hem. The chiffon blouse is
mounted over blouse OF rose satin.
An afternoon dress OF white serge has
a coat of white chiffon banded with
serge. The collar and cuffs are en-
broidered in green beads. An added
touch is given by the jade buttons. A

able surprises of this costume.

London, July 1.-The Russian Of
fensive continues TO make progress in
Galicia. Petrograd to-day claims the
capture of several towns south of Kolo-
mea, the important railway junction.
which is the key TO Lemberg. It also
reports the occupation of fortified
posts in the foothills Of the Car
pathians following the repulse of an
Austrian counter attack northwest Of
Kimpolung. The capture OF 1854
more prisoners is recorded, bringing
the total number now up 10 2l7000.
Berlin claims that the battle in
progress west of Lutsk for the last
week is now developing favorably for
the Germans The capture or Russian
positions on the Styr southwest of
Sokul is also claimed. Troops of Cos
sacks already harsssing the flank Of
General Won Bothmer's army have been
repused.
Semi-official reports from Vienna
deny Indignantly the Russian claims Of
the capture of 214,000 men and great
numbers OF cannon. They point out
that had the losses been as Petrograd
claims the Austrians would not have a
single man left on the Galician front;
death and wounds would have account
ed for the rest.
Instead, il is claimed that the Aus
trian losses amounted TO between 10
a d 20 per cent instead of the 20 per
cent which has been not an unusual
figure in other operations of the war.
The Russian statement says:
"Our left wing continues TO drive
back the enemy over a front situated
south of the Dneister and has occu-
pied many places to the south of Kolo-
mea.
Northwest OF Kolomea our troops
after violent engagement threw back
the enemy in the direction of the
heights near the village of Brezova and
as the result OF a brilliant attack took
a portion Of the heights.
Northwest of Kimpolung the enemy
attempted TO take the offensive. but
was pushed back toward the west OF
that region. We. closely following
have taken, after some fighting, several
strong positions in the mountains.

the army Of General Letchitzky during
the 2sth and 29th OF June was 305 Off

lagos roll away TO the eastward. To

banks of the Somme.
Fields Swsthed in Smoke.
This, and the other bank of the
Somme, where the French are cooper
ating with the British is the theatre
of the most extensive action of any yet
begun on the Western front and which
the Allies hope may prove the first
stage in the turning of the tide against
the Germans. Every one of the vii
lagos within the range of vision will
be fought over as were those in front
of Verdun.
But this morning something more
than mist was rising from the dew
laden fields and hid the landscape
From to 1880 O'Clock all the guns
along that twenty miles were for the
first time firing their fastest in a
chorus of final blasts, cutting wires
and demolishing trenches.
The rapid fire of small-cslibre weap-
ons resulted in continuous roll, while
only the guns of big calibre, with
their heavier reports above the mono
tone, had perceptibl, intervals between
the blasts. The trenches were hidden
by a curtain of smoke punctUred with
vicious flashes.
Toward that cloud, which shrouded
every form of destruction within the
power of man, the reserves were NOV
in, forward. Far above the observa-
tion balloons, motionless in the still
air, a squadron of aeroplanes was seen
flying TO its work, spotting targets for
the artillery.
Ranks Move Like Machine.
At 1920 o'clock the rapid ire trench
mortars added their shells to the
deluge pouring upon the first line
German trenches. After ten minutes
of this, at 1880 o'clock. the guns lifted
their fire to the second line of German
trenches as if they were answering to
the pressure of single button, and
the men of the new British army
leaped over the parapets.
Toward the wreckage the guns and
mortars had wrought they rushed.
Even close at hand. they were visible
only a moment before being hidden
by the smoke of the German she'll cur
tain over what remained of the
trenches.
The Germans had TO yield to "two
years of our preparedness, against
forty for the Germans" said staff
officer, "and we have satisfactorily
started in on our first trial of our new
divisions in the teamwork Of big at
tack"
Nothing was now to be seen from
the hill except smoke flashes, through
which the famous figure of the Virgin
atop the tower at Albert, struck by a

place, though tipped at an angle,
showed dimly. II was not long, how
ever. before fast ambulances began
coming down the roads. Then patches
of hslf-starved prisoners were being
brought in, too dazed to appreciate
their escape after having been ma
rooned for five days in their dugouts
without food by the British ire cur
tain. Finally from out that inferno,
all confusion to the eye, came reports
that made the whole movement intel
ligible.

British Headquarters in France, July
via London, 1920 p. m).-Under a
pail Of she'll smoke, with the unbroken
roar Of artillery, the struggle ga the
longest line of any offensive yet under
taken on the Western front, which be
gan at 1880 o'clock this morning, is
continuing at this hour.
From hill the correspondent
watched the beginning Of the battle.
, For weeks he had witnessed prepara-
tion for the first considerable effort Of
the new British army. With deliberate
and methodcal precision the gathering
of human and mechanical material pro-
ceeded. The whole line was included
in the preliminary bombardment to de-
ceive the Germans as to the point of
attack
Overwhelming as was the power Of
the guns, the grim and significant spec
tacle was the sight of detachments OF
infantry, in field fighting equipment,
moving forward until finally the dug
outs were hives of khaki ready to
swarm forth for battle.
Sing as They Attack.
Every officer had maps and directions
in detail of the part his unit was to
play in the complicated attack. The
men had sewn in their uniforms in
sigma designed to designate the diff
ferent units amid the dust and smoke.
As the battalons marched, they sang
the tunes they used to sing on the drill
grounds at home, after they responded
to Kitchener's sail. There were quiet
and undemonstrative English, speaking
with Yorkshire or Corn<Nl accent, or
maybe breaking out in gibes in the
slang of the London cockney. There
were brawny Scots. with kits and steel
mushroom helmets, suggesting medic
val men of arms. An Irish battalion
was whstling THE Marseillaise."
The men realized the fearful work
ahead. But il is in the contract said
a young Englishman. at is what we
expected. II is our turn TO make good
As the days of the bombardment
passed expectancy was noticeable
everywhere. Last night the word was
passed that the infantry was to make
