Enouqh to Make a Woman Mad.

Monkeys. alligators, snakes and
other geological specimens in her
home was the cause of the estrange-
ment between a man and his wife at
Cincinnati. The woman alleges that
her husband deliberately brought in
the animals and reptiles to frighten
her. On one occasion, she says, he
came home intoxicated and wakened
her by laying live alligator across
her neck. She was so terrified, she
says, that she was seriously i'll. On
another occasion when her husband
arrived late he was accompanied by
billy goat which he tied to the newell
post downstairs. On still another oc
casion he forgot to tie the goat, and
she further alleges that he brought
in monkeys and snakes and accorded
them the freedom of the house. She
says he borrowed the collection from
an animal dealer.

New YOrk.-It is not possible to d.
ude the new gowns into strongly diff
kering sections. No designer has taken
a period and copied her gowns from 1t
with certainty and exactitude. All of
the French and American workers have
jumbled their history in way that
would give the seeker after truth a
brainstorm.
It is well for the public at large
that the designers do not stick too
closely to period clothes. When the
decorators insist that one cannot
have a curtain, vase or a cushion
In q room that is drawn from a GER
tain period. we get beautiful pieces
of interior decorative work which
should be in museum, but which have
little relationship to an intimate home
life.
1t Is wise for every woman to learn,
and it would be we'll If one could only
teach the artists and decorators the
same thing, that exhibition work Is
one thing, but the kind of work that
one must live with Is another. We
can 60 to museums or department
shops and see period rooms and period
dress, but human nature resents the
thought of having such limited waking
and sleeping hours. Therefore. we
greet with pleasure the fact that vastly
different periods Of history have been
dipped into for the new clothes; but
anachronism is rife.
CaIIot and the Empire.
The Callot gowns were the last to
get to this country, and they pre-
sented no new note, except the intro

most symbolic feature of this period,
which is the high waiStline. that
slightly girdles the figure just under
the bust, she added medieval sleeves
to it that the Empress Josephine
never wore.
The most dominant First Empire
frOck that Callot has sent over is of
brilliant red that is neither geranium,
Japanese nor wine. She calls it 'in-

"In reply to this declaration the I'm

Government the following assurance:
THE German Government is pre-
pared to do it's utmost to confine the
operations of war for the rest of it's
duration to the fighting forces of the
belligerents, thereby also insuring the
freedom of the seas, principle upon
which the German Government be-
lieves now, as before, to be in agree
ment with the Government of the
United States.
1.-The German Government, guided
by this idea, notifies the Government
of the United States that the German
naval forces have received the follow
ing orders: In accordance with the
general principles of visit and search
and destruction of merchant vessels
recognized by international law, such
vessels, both within and without the
area declared naval war zone, shall
not be sunk without warning and
without saving human lives, unless
these ships attempt to escape or offer
resistance.
But it added, 'neutrals can not
expect that Germany, forced to fight
for her existence, shall, for the sake
of neutral interest restrict the use of
an effective weapon if her enemy is
permitted to continue to apply at will
methods of warfare violating the rules
of international law. Such a demand
would be incompatible with the char
acter of neutrality, and the German
Government is convinced that the
Government of the United States does
not think of making such a demand,

Governments of the other neutral ma
tions that on and after the first day
of February, the present month, it
would adopt a policy with regard to
the rse of submarines against all
shipping seeking to pass through GER
tain designated areas of the high seas,
to which it is truly my duty to call
your attention.
Let me remind the Congress on the
eighth of April, last, in view of the
sinking on the twenty-fourth of March
of the cross channel passenger steam
er Sussex, by a German submarine,
without summons or warning and the
consequent loss of the lives of several
citizens of the United States who were
passengers aboard her, this Govern
ment addressed a note to the Imperial
German Government in which it made
the following declaration:
eff it is still the purpose Of the I'm
perial Government to prosecute relent-
less and indiscriminate warfare
against vessels OF commerce by the
use of submarines without regard to
what the Government of the United
States must consider the sacred and
indisputable rules of international law
and the universally recognized die
tates of humanity, the Government Of
the United States is at last forced to
the conclusion that there is but one
course it can pursue. Unless the I'm
perial Government should now immedi-
ately declare and effect an abandon
ment of its present methods of sub.
marine warfare against passenger and
freight carrying vessels, the Govern
ment of the United States can have no
choice but to sever diplomatic rela-
tions with the German Empire alto
gether.'
