D’ANNUNZIO HOLDS
FIUME IN DEFIANCE
Italian Poet-Aviator StlH in Control
of City. 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.

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.

ter" of a dram of Russian isinglass jjhe hrlma of medium sised hats.
