The Food Situation Serious. Rome, Sept. 19.—The time limit fixed by General Hadoglio, deputy chief of staff for the Italian troops that left their posts in the armistice zone ^around Flume and entered the city with Captin Gabriele d’Annunzio to re turn to their commands expired last night. Latest advices from the scene of Captain d’Annunzio’s coup showed his forces were still in control of the city. The food situation there is said y to be serious. There have been no advices as to the blockade of the place by Italian naval and military forces but there are reports that Jugo Slav troops are con centrating on the frontier between Fiume and the Hinterland. There are indications that people not essential to the defense of the place may be compelled to leave so that the armed forces may be able to hold but TongefT According to the Messagero, an agreement has been reached between Premiers Lloyd George, of Great Brit ain, and Clemenceau of France, and Foreign Minister Tittoont, which will censure the Italian nationally of the town, but the assent of President Wil son to the plan is yet to be gained. The interallied force-, which left Fiume after the arrival of Captain d’Annunzio’s troops are reported to be at Abbazia. about two miles northwest of the city, where they are awaiting instructions. The adoption of a firm policy by General Badoglio. in dealing with the Fiume situation w^is endorsed by King Victor Emmanuel before the gen eral left Rome on his mission to re store order in the Fiume region. The king, however, in receiving the general on the eve of his departure, while rec ommending firmness on the general’s part, expressed the wish that there be no bloodshed. Rome, Tuesday, Sept. 16.—General Anfossi, addressing his grenadiers ac cording to reports from Fiume, said they-were free to remain in Fiume or return to Italy. A few followed the general; TEe - ' remaindr declared they yould not leave the citv until the Ital ian government accepted its annexa tion. General Zotti made a similar attempt with the storm troops with the same result. One does not have to assert the pop ularity of the tailored suit when writ ing of fashions. In America it goes without saying, for the suit is always the backbone of the American wom an’s outfit, for every season of the year. It fits in with her manner of life. If our devotitm to the tailored suit needed any sustaining it would not lack it; for Paris has pronounced its approval of our favorite and set about to shorn what France can do in the production of smart models. We are glad to study these examples of the genius of the French and confident that, in this particular field, American models will never suffer by compari son. They are more likely to excel over their competitors. But we can not have all the good Ideas and we will profit by the exhaustless ingenu ity of the French. Two handsome and practical “made in America” suits for the coming win ter season invite the consideration of those who gtTg the study of styles in suits the attention it deserves. The tailored suit more than anything else needs to be carefully selected. There are a few new phases of the mode to consider. They include the promi nence given very high choker collars, wldet skirts and longer coats, semi* fitted, and a few rather snugly fitted coats with ripple skirts, shorter than those of the semi-fitted models. A fine model for practical use is shown with a coat that is an extreme of the mode in length. It has a straight front and paneled back and between them, at each side, tucked under arm pieces are set in. The tucks are graduated in width, with the widest one eight Inches above the hem. Two bone but tons at the front of the coat and one on each sleeve, indicate that buttons must play a minor role as a decora tive feature for this season. The skirt is plain. Tricotine is the favo rite material for suits of this char- actef. A more dressy suit of velours re veals a coat that is very new in de sign. It is semi-fit ted, with skirt pon tion set on to make an effect of drap ery on the hips, and this piece is eip broidered in points with graduate* disks between them. The same design appears on the skirt which in this suit is considerably wider than , those o the past season. At the front and back, between the embroidered points, a tfgtragonre urottfi -emphasises—the- prominence given to embroidery in this model and indicates that skirtf may be less plain than they have been. The very narrow skirt has dlsap peared, fgr which dispensation fashion let us be thankful. RUN OUT OF ENGLAND, GOES TO SEE KAISER Amerongen, Sept. 20.—Ignatius Tri- Bich Lincoln, former member of the British parliament and German agent, who five weeks ago was released from prison in England, arrived at Ameron gen yesterday. Lincoln was accom panied by a German, who registered at * hotel as “Her Anderson” about whose identity there is much secrecy, but who is believed to occupy a prom inent post among the monarchists of Germany. Lincoln told the Associated Presg correspondent that he could say noth ing about the object of his visit. On his arrival at Amerongen from Berlin, by way of the Hague, where they were in conference with promi nent Germans, Lincoln and Ande£?on were met by General Bommers, who succeeded General von Essdorff as the former kaiser's chief aid, and today there was a conference at- Bentinck castle, during which it is^ reported Lincoln s»w ttie former German ruler. Since his deportation from England and his arrival in Berlin, Lincoln has identified himself with the German faction favoring the return of the Hohenxollerns. \ YourPknoNow.

ODANiEL 8 REID In toilet preparations our grand mothers made many things for them selves of the harmless and homely in gredients they had at hand. Some of these old recipes have been preserved and have proven their worth in per forming the work they are, intended for. Besides being less expensive than the lotions and creams bought in the shops one has the satisfaction of know ing Just what Is in them. For the com plexion aud for the hair these home made preparations probably have tonic and healing qualities as effective as the manufactured articles. At least they will answer* the purpose for women who feel that money spent for toilet preparations is an extravagance for them. Here is the old fashioned and reliable formula for treatment of a dry skin. When the £kin is dry and harsh it should be washed only once a day in wafrm water, using a pure, bland soap, and rinsed in cold water. This is done in the morning. During the day use a disappearing cream, rubbing it In and then wiping it off with a piece of old linen. At night rub in the cream but do not rub it off but allow it to re main all night. The disappearing cream is made as follows: White wax, 1 ounce; sper maceti, 1 ounce; almond oil, 4 ounces; rose water, 4 ounces. Use as described above. Can be put up by any druggist or at home, remembering that the more a cream is beaten the smoother it will be. An Astringent Cream. A , well-recommended astringent cream is made from four ounces of mutton tallow, one and a quarter ounces of glycerin, one-half a dram of tincture of benzoin, a quarter of a dram of .plrits of camphor, one-eighth of a dram of powdered alum, one-quar- and one-half an ounce of rose water, The rose water is warmed in * china cup set in hot water and the Isin glass is dissolved in it. The muttoo tallow, which has previously beer tried out at gentle heat and added tc the glycerin, is then blended with tht rose water, and the other Ingredients are added while the mixture Is being beaten. This makes a cream which Is astringent, tightening the skin, without allowing it to become flabby. To Soften the Hands, Before retiring take a large pair ol gloves and spread mutton tallow in side, also all over the hands. Wear the gloves all night and wash the hand* with olive oil and white Castile soap in the nyorning; after cleansing the hands with soap rub them well with oatmeal while still wet. so also are silk tassels placed o- ter" of a dram of Russian isinglass jjhe hrlma of medium sised hats.
