Trying to Stir Up Italians, Diplo-
mats Here Believe.

Austro-Hungarian "villainy' is seen
by Italian diplomats here in the per-
sistent veiled movements to stir up
strife between Italians and Jugo-
Slavs on the Adriatic east coast.
1t is the Italian opinion that Vienna
still has many trustworthy lieuten-
ants among the South Slavs and that
the but half-crushed Hapsburg infiu-
ence will be alert to create any DIS
cord about her that eventually may
make possible the restoration of the
Dual Monarchy.

Fred Loses 500 and Wife.
Last Saturday Ida Wilkins got word
from her husband. Fred wilkins, that
he had quit his job in the shipyards
| in Chester. Pa, and was coming back
to Washington.
She ran around to her mothers
house. very much excited. She didn't
want Fred to come back.
1t seems that he went away last
summer because Ida had threatened
to have him arrested if he didn' t.
He had done something.
Fred walked in last Monday. Ida
wasn't home. Her cousin" Tom
| Watson, was. Fred had never seen
! Tom before.
Fred tried for some time to get
F, some information out of Tom, but
failed. He went out again.
He came back within fifteen min
utes. He poked a gun under Toms
nose.
''Whar's nah wife?" he demanded
EFF you doan tell me, de top of yo'

"Ah tist bought it."
He then made a quick movement
and Fred was thrown one way and
his gun another way.

Fred as it fined him 800. Your wife
cannot be blamed for wanting you out

The Fighting Pacihst.
A few years ago. when Harry
Taylor lived on X street southwest,
he got into trouble. with Henry
Williams over a woman.
Both men had been courting the
woman. but Henry was making the
most headway.
Harry moved away from the
neighborhood. He was too much
OF a pacitist to let matters develop
into a fight.
Since then Henry and the woman
have married. But lately they have
been separated.
The woman met Harry alta dance
shortly after Christmas. She was
willing, it seemed, to renew their
friendship.
He took her home. Henry heard
about it. He got very sore.
He went around to the coal yard
where Harry worked and tried to
get Harry to fight. But Harry was
rather slow to get into action at
first.
Henry struck him in the mouth.
And then-Henry was the most sur
prised man in the world y
Harry let his coal shovel drop on
his head. Henry snoozed away,
, 1T seems that you went to where
this man worked and tried to get
him into fight" the court said to
Henry.

Well" said the court. Il am

The sailor blouse for summer suits is
in fashion. This one is of green silk
crepe over skirt of biscuit colored
crepe. The flower at the neck is
embroidered.
Their recrudescence shows them in
a more ornate form. They were first
introduced in January in the form of
white flannel for Palm Beach, and
they were trimmed with canary col
ored wooden threads arranged in a
long darning stitch and turned up at
the hem in a series of pockets that
would hold tennis or golf balls.
Then they appeared in velveteen for
street wear, and in Chinese and
Japanese embroidery for house wear,
with skirts of crepe de chine or
pleated satin They fitted into the
scheme of fashions in such an adj
mirable manner that the dressmakers
played them up in a variety of fabrics
and offered them suitable for
casions where they should never have
been worn.
They have that waist-less line which
all women seem proud to exploit these
days. They are easy fitting, carelessly
informal, quite negligent at the neck,
and yet, they tighten themselves
around the hips to suggest grace and
slimness.
Substitute for Jacket.
This Peter Thompson blouse has
been adopted substitute for
short jacket by not only the young
women, but those who are older and
have young figures In these days of
rushing anxiety. of busy hours, of fast
moving activities, women are some
times glad to be rid of the annoyance
of the separate blouse, which a jacket
demands. The laundry question has
also become important The freshness
demanded in a white blouse has be-
come a nuisance. Therefore. the
bodice and jacket in one which have
good lines and obviate the necessity
for a waist, make a strong appeal
The sketch shows suit which COM
bines a separate skirt and a de luxe
mildly blouse. The skirt itself is of
biscuit-colored crepe pleated in panels
at the side, and the substitute for
jacket is of green silk crepe. that
dark, sparkling green that the house
of Callot has introduced as first
choice color for street suits. The
blouse is cut off at the hip line and
rolled upward into a cuff that is faced
with the skirt fabric. The long, COM
