Ton of Coal Sells
 In Italy for $50.

Rome, Oct. 4.-The high cost of liv- ing and particularly the price of coal is becoming a subject of grave con- cern in Italy as another war winter approaches. Due to continued excess sive freight rates by sea many staple food articles are dearer in Italy than either France or England. Despite a special treaty with England for cheaper freight rates to be obtained by the loaning of ships; sugar is sell ing at 20 cents a pound and can be bought only in small quantities, for household consumption from day to day. Coffee sells at 50 to 70 cents pound, according to grade. Though Italy Is a heavy producer of wines, a table wine that once sold at 6 cents a quart now sells for 4 cents and is in- ferior to the old cent grade. Beer is sold at A cents a quart. milk at 10 cents. Good butter is 55 cents a pound.
 Coal that before the war sold at $10 per ton now sells at $50 and the price may go higher as winter comes. Last winter it was $50 to $40 per ton. Italy hopes to import 750,000 tons from England and 250,0Oo tons from the United States for industrial uses this winter,

DOES MARRIAGE CURE
 A FLTGHTY MATE?

"She took his hands in hers, her tears Down on her trembling fingers rained. She raised her eyes upon his face Not with look of wounded pride, A look as if the heart complained.
 Her look was like a sad embrace,
 The gaze of one who can divine
 grief and sympathize."
 Many a girl marries a man knowing that as his sweetheart she had the against other pretty girls. Every now and then he would quit her to seek the society of some fascinating girl who had attracted him.
 He would be sure to settle down af- ter marriage, her friends told her. Those nearer and dearer who were most for her good told her that if she married him she would have her own troubles-the leopard never loses his spots, the panther his cunning.
 A man inclined to faithfulness sell dom if ever outgrows what's bred in the bone After the newness of mar ried life begins to wear off, a fighty mate begins fo grow restless. He grasps the thought that he had rushed heedlessly into matrimony. He sees all of his wife's faults, but not her vir- tues He is wont to think every other woman more attractive than his wife.
 This fact his wife notes all too quickly Such a womans heart is ever filled with conflicting emotions. She is Ia victim to the green-eyed monster, jealousy, in it's worst form. More of ten than not, without reason, she fan- cies that each pretty woman who crosses her husbands path may oust her from her 'frail holdL upon his heart. Many f1ckle husband seems to take a sordid delight in tantalizing his an- moved wife by gazing long and admir- ingly at other women, much to the modification of the wife by his side. Of all the habits married man may have none is so coptemptible as that of deliberately keeping wife in tor ture. A wife who is led to believe that she does not please her husband loses heart to keep either her person or her home as spic and span as she had day dreams of doing in her single days It has been said that woman makes the happiest of home, but the best wo- man that was ever born cannot make home an earthly paradise if she is tethered to a faithless man.
 IA Hlgnty mate never spends much money on his home. Many a wife his to turn in to be the breadwinner un- der those circumstances, with never a kind word to reward her or anything to light the lamp of hope in her flu ture. Perhaps it is wisest and best that such wife cloaks her trouble be- heath smile that the world may never know that marriage has been a blunder for her.
 A highty man has no Hlsiness to bind wife unto himself unless he feels that by sheer will power he can turn over new leaf with marriage. Eighty men have been known to be redeemed by love. If that cannot cure him, nothing on earth will.

Combination with Circular Skin.

te, lawn or crepe. Provision is also made for Q short sleeve for the cor set cover, many women preferrine this to shields. In medium size the combination requires 3A yards s6- inch material, with yards of edoino and 219 yards insertion. In addi. ton to the lace a delicate embroid- cry design IS worked on the front of the corset cover. As, the embroid. cry design contains thirty-six sprays, a part of it may be used on the skirt if desired.
 The back gore of the petticoat is pieced and this section of the pat tern should be laid on a lengthwise thread of the material when cutting. as shovn in the guide. The tiny little section on which the arrow is placed is the piecing for the back gore. Next comes the front of the corset cover, placed on lengthwise thread of the goots, then the back. laid on the lengthwise fold. Along the selvage edge the lap is placed, while the front gore of the petticoat is laid on the lengthwise fold to the right of the back.
 TO make the petticoat, slash through the fold at center front of front gore, from upper edge to large 70" perforation: sew lap to the slashed edges, notches even, making seam E inch wide at upper edge of slash and graduating seam into noth- ing at lower edge; fold lap through center, fell remaining edge over seam. Turn lap underneath the right slashed edge and stitch to position. Join gores as notched, close center-back seam. Turn hem at lower edge on small "o" perforations. Sew to lower edge of corset cover, centet- >fronts and centerbacks even bringing side seam to snal Il Co" perforation in front.
 The corset cover is SC simple to make that the home dressmaker will not experience any trouble with 1t.

THE QUEEN
 OF NAPLES

At the outbreak of the present war there was living in the Parisian suburb of Neuilly, in a house called by its bowed, gray-haired old woman who had once been a dueen-but that was so long ago that most people have forgotten that such throne ever ex- isted as that which she occupied du- ring a brief period of stress. She was Marie, ex-Queen of Naples, the widow of Francis IT., the last of the line of monarchs who ruled over the two Sicilies. As a German by birth, French regulations for the governi ment, of enemy civilians demanded that she be interned, but she was per- mitted to leave France and go back to Bavaria, the land of her birth, to spend her last days.
 It was just three-quarters of a cen tury ago to-day, Oct. 4, 1841, that Princess Marie was born in Munich, the daughter of Duke Maximilian of Bavaria. Her elder sister, Elizabeth, became the bride of the young Elm peror Francis Joseph of Austria in 1854, and five years later Marie was married to Francis, Crown Prince of Naples. Both sisters were doomed to tragic lives, for Elizabeth, after en- during many marital miseries and the terrible grief incident to the suicide of her only son. was slain by an anarchist. while Marie was destined to suffer the ignominy of being driven from the throne of her adopted land.
 Marie's marriage was by proxy, an emissary of the Neapolitan court ta- king the place of the bridegroom at the ceremony in Munich. The wife then set out for Naples and joined her husband, who became king a few months later on the death of his fath- CT, Ferdinand II. In 1860 the king dom was invaded by the insurgents of Garibaldi. and the royal family fled Naples and took refuge in Gaeta, where the army of King Francis made it's last and unsuccessful stand. In those days of trial Queen Marie play ed the role of heroine, and excited the admiration of the world by her bravery and devotion. When at last Gaeta was surrendered, King Francis and Queen Marie found refuge in Rome under the protection of the Pope, but in 1870 they were again forced to flee, and went to Paris, where she continued to reside after the death of her husband in 1894.

 Of yellow, white and gray! They make them now in every hue, Of bronze and pink and tan and blue.
