SOME JAPANESE DO
NOT WANT FIGHTING
SatSuma Clan Objects to Action Until
Germany Really Threatens
Country.

London, July 1S.--A meeting of the
japanese advisory council called for
Monday to approve decisions taken by
government, was postponed owing to
the opposition Of Messrs. Tallino and
Hara, say y dispatch to the Times
from Toxic dated Monday. 1t was
reported that Mr.. Takino represents
the vicWs Of the Satsuma clan who
hold the situation is not yet critical
enough to necessitate Japanese &C
ton and that it would be perilous to
stake Japan's fortunes before a Ger
man invasion actually endangers ia
pan.
The council, it is added. then was
ordered to meet on Tuesday.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Toxic dated July 13 and received
Tuesday reported that a special meet
ing of the Japanese cabinet was
held Saturday. 1t was added that the
meeting was attended by army officers
and that it was believed some com
munication concerning Russia had
been received from the American
government.
The Satsuma is one Of the most
the present imperial government. The
exact nature of the Japanese advisory
council Is not clear, but the priVy
council list does not contain the
names Takino and Hara.

Device Worn With Choice Of silk
or Satin Skirt.
colIarless Garment, Regardless Of Be
eomingness, Promises to Continue
Popular During Season.

The blouse shown In the sketch is
one Of the very smart little panel eff
fects being developed In great num-
bers for the season. This blouse is a
slipover. The neck is sufficiently wide
to make 1t possible to slip the blouse
very easily over the head, and 1t is
held In at the whist by a narrow elas-
tic band, which is in turn concealed by
the ribbon belt run through openings
In the panel. back and front. This is
very smart as a suit blouse, or 1t may
be worn with one of the lovely silk
or satin skirts, the two forming a very
satisfactory afternoon dress for infor-
NAL occasions.
If women come to realize that the
blouse which comes we'll below the

est and most becoming, except for dis
tinctly sport wear, the separate blouse
will come into wider use.

EASY TO MAKE A LAMPSHADE
Throw q Square Material In Studied
Carelessness Over Lined Wire
Frame and Start Is Made.

One of the simplest and at the same
time most effective lampshades is
made by throwing a square material
in studied carelessness over a lined
wire frame. For the floor lamp this
is especially artistic. The frame should
be lined with silk, either plain or
shirred on, exactly as If 1t were to be
covered with shirred silk or plain
panels In the approved iampshade
manner OF the moment. After that
square of handsome silk, brocade, jap
anese embroidery or anything sufi-
clentiy valuable to suggest that 1t re-
main uncut is thrown over the shade
so that the points fall evenly. Heavy
fringe may weight the edge, or tassels
at the corners will perform the same
Office. A small hole In the center may
have to be worked through the mate
rial so that the tip Of the electric
fixture which holds the shade may
work through. The silk could be
tackled very lightly here and there to
the lined frame to keep 1t from slip
ping out of place.

LATE FABRIC FOR LINGERIE
Wolfe Has Gained Place Of Favor and
Has an Advantage Over
Satin and silk.

Wolfe Is fairly new fabric for linz
gerle, but 1t has already In the few
months that it has been used for un-
dergarmeuts, gained prestige.
To be sure, wolfe lingerie ten or
twelve years ago would have seemed
absurdly impractical. Wolfe was too
thin, we would have said, too fragile
for the hard wear that lingerie must
have.
But those statements would hAya
been made In the days before lingerie
had had a chance to show its good
points. And they would have been
been made, too, In the days before we
used fur and chiffon, tulle and satin for
lingerie. Nowadays, Of course, satin Ia
considered one of the most durable
of fabrlcs-one is tempted to say un
dermuslins-in the good old-fashloned
way, but undermusllns are now only
part Of the matter, for most of then
are made Of silk and satin and crepe
Wolfe has one advantage over satin
and silk in the minds of some women
at least for underwear. They cling Il
liking for regular Tubing fabric
for underwear. It matters not to theH
that satin can be washed In soap and
water and lr0ned; satin does not seen
so fresh and clean as cotton of somt
sort. So to them volle Is a welcome
addition to the fabrics from which un
derwear is made.

Panel Blouse Of oeorUette.

with beading in navy and red, the
large beads used to outlinethe panel,
neck and wrist being in a vivid red.
The ribbon belt may be of navy faille
or black velvet. A red belt would be
striking, but not advisable, as sharply
dividing the figure at the walstllne is
not becoming to the average figure.
The collarless blouse will almost I'M
questlonably continue to be the most
popular selection during the season,
although large number Of blouses
are being shown with moderately high
collars. Regardless Of becomlngness,
the collarless blouse is certainly more
comfortable, and In these busy days
that is very important consideration.

SLIP-OVER BLOUSE

1t has its place In the hospitals that
needs no explanation to the woman
hood Of America. How gladly she
cares for her present supply of mus
Inns, that looms may turn out gauzs
for her soldiers rather than for her
home.
Linens and silks have taken to tho
cir in the form of airplanes and war
balloons. They have gone with our
blessing, the Marthas of this genera
ton will find a way to do without
them for ''the duration"
Leather, too, is needed. Resole the
shoes, wear pumps and CATERS, that
you may not take an undue share of
labor and material from necessary
war work.
The short coat, the narrow skirt and
the conservative styles of dress show
an earnest thought on the part Of
manufacturer and designer, but the
real saving will be noted when clever
woman presses the last seasons gar
ment and freshens 1t up by a bit OF
bright plaid for Mary's winter school
dress. The government suggests that
you invoice on all garments on hand
to aid in cloth conservation, The llsts
are headed:
|. Garments it will be necessary to
replace.
2. Garments that will last another
season.
A few suggestions for renovating
garments take on a dlgnified air since
they are patriotic rather than parsi1
monious.
