fact that since the constitution and by

that il seemed impossible to improve

LADY DUFF HERE
TO DRESS STOUT
WOMEN in STYLE
English Noblewoman Will
Discuss Subject of Attire
at Reads Store.

How women who are stout or who
think they are stout may dress in the
height of fashion and still look slender
will be demonstrated tomorrow, Fri
day and Saturday at the D. M. Read
Co., by Lady Evangeline Duff. Lady
Duff is a relative Of the Duke OF Fife
and is prominent in English nobility.
Being stout herself, she studied ex-
tensively the question of dress and
evolved a number Of principles con-
corning the mode of attiring stout
women. She observed that most stout
women did not know how to dress
themselves and resolved to go out and
teach them how. Her method Of
gowning stout women has to do with
the materials and long lines. She has
made a great success of her venture
throughout England and this country
and has thought thousands Of stout
women how to make an excellent ap-
pearance.
The D. M. Read Co. have been most
fortunate in inducing her to come to
Bridgeport to meet the women of this
vicinity and give them suggestions
how they should dress.
Lady Duff will be at the store from
2:30 until 4:30 tomorrow afternoon
and from 10 until IL a. m. on Friday
and Saturday in addition to the after
noon hours. She will meet informally
any women who wish to talk with he1
and will give them valuable sugges.
tions about dressing. She will have
a number of gowns, suits and cloaks
suitable for stout women on display.

Has Lords Prayer
Engraved Upon Head
of An Ordinary Pin

The Lords Prayer, engraved upon
the head of pin, and the Coat OF
Arms of the United States, similarly
engraved upon the eye OF a needle, are
the unique possessions in the posses
sion of Mauritz Lundberg, temporar-
lily a resident of this city.
Displayed in the office of the Far
mer today by aid of q 80 MN objec-
tive microscope with magnifying pow
er of 500 diameters the Lords prayer
is disclosed to contain SIS words of 254
letters, the longest line in the circle
containing 20 letters.
The work WAS executed four years
ago by Godfrey E. Lundberg, ,o1
Spokane. Wash, an expert engraver
tc beat the former record of the
Japanese who bored a hole through a
fine American needle from eye to
point.
To perform the task is said to have
required three years time, one failure
having resulted at the end of nine
months work. To grasp the signif-
canoe of the unique work it is suffi-
cient to say the diameter of the pin
head is but .047 inch or less thar
1-e0th of an inch.

FIERCE FIGHTING
ON ISONZO FRONT

Rome. May 1s- Important sue
cesses were won by the Italians yes
terday in beginning their drive on
the Isonzo front. The following off,
cial note was given out here:
THE offensive action now developed
ON the Julian front, which was an
nounced yesterday, was preceded by
vast. intense and methodical artillery
preparation. Fire was opened on the
morning Of May IL along the Wnoie
line from Tolmino to the sea- 1t was
maintained with regularly quickened
rhythm until the morning of May IA,
when it was itensif1ed to a powerful
drum fire.
Firing the first part of the bonn
bardment the enemy reacted but
feebly. 1t seemed as if the Austrians
had been taken by surprise, but their
reply was more vigorous on May 1S
and extremely violent on the morning
of the 14th- Austrian batteries then
opened a heavy curtain of fire, pour
ing thousands of projectiles on the
trenches in the Italian line.
.Undeterred by this tempest Of fire,
the Italian infantry toward noon leap
cd over the parapets and dashed reso-
lute1y forward toward the detectives
previously assigned. These positions
were airn9st all difncu1t ones and some
of them hitherto had been regarded as
impregnable; such. for instance as the
heights ON the left bank Of the Isonze,
from PLAYA to Salcano Pass. The
steep slopes covered with rocks and
dotted here and there with thick
clumps OF brush, constituted a for
nnidabIe obstacle to an infantry ad-
vance. Successive lines of trenches,
prepared months ago above deep cav
erns, well with defensive and
Offensive material were defended by
seasoned troops and protected by bat
teries placed 30 as to- flank attackers
with their fire.
Notwithstanding these conditions,
tho Italian infantry advanced and still
continues to advance Valuable psi
TONS have been won and prisoners are
flowing into our concentration camps.
~Our aviators co-operated with
great eject by bold and fcease1ess re-
connaissances. by skilfu1 regulation OF
! the artillery hre and bornbardment OF
! depots and conveys. and by brilliant
combats with Austrian airplanes.'
