THE 3EMIAVEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. UnnrrpTn nrRmmp STATISTICIAN BABSON WORKS IN THE OPEN fiunccDiuutirauo AUSTRIA YIELDS TO THE UNITED STATES IN ANCONA CASE. WILLING TO PAY INDEMNITY Reply to Second American Nate De clares Subscn Chief Punished. Danger of Break Gone. Unpretentious Gown for Semi-Dress 1 " 1 Tho simply constructed aiul grace ful gown pictured above makes no pretention to 'novelty, excepting little details of its llnishing. It is a dlgni lied and generally becoming design, without too strong a ilavor of the pres ent styles to outlive them. A gown so conservative in structure is a good model to select for copying in a dress which is to outlast a singlo season and prove useful in time to corao. Tho model as shown is suited to tho stout or short liguro. It should bo mado somewhat fuller for a tall woman, and tho length broken by ad ditional bandings. Very successful dresses llko It aro mado of crepe or any of tho supple satinB, with several narrow bands of fur at intervals bo tween thb hem and knees. Chiffon cloth has been used in tho same way. Fur bandings are not as becoming to tho stout figure a3 flat bandings of velvet, and tho latter must bo used carefully. Hand-Made and Factory-Made Lingerie Lingerie that is factory mado Is as good as that which is homcmndo so far as beauty of design is concerned. Its makers must design it with refer ence to tho possibilities and the limi tations of machinery. But tho variety and tho quality of hand sowing cannot bo equaled by machinery. It is pos sible to imltato much handwork very closely, but not all of it, and the va riety of design possible in garments to bo mado at homo would not be profitable in thoso mado In a factory. Tho needlewoman, on tho other hand, may copy any of tho factory designs and lmprovo on them. Two attractive now nightdresses aro shown hero for the consideration of thoso who make their uuderrausllus at this season of tho year. Ono of them is entirely handmade, excopt for tho seams, which aro felled on tho machine. It Is cut from linen in tho 36-inch width, of a singlo length, equal to twice that of tho liguro. This is folded over at tho center and stamped for tho embroidery at tho neck and sleeves. Tho bottom is finished with a doublo scallop and tho sleovos aro slashed on tho upper arm with all edges finished with embroidered scal lops. Small sprays In n flower pattern aro embroidered at each sido of tho slash in tho sleeves and at tho front of tho nock. Eyelets are worked about the nock opening for carrying a narrow wash ribbon. This pattern is also mado in lino cotton batisto with a smaller sized scallop used for edging and liner flower sprays for decoration. Tho machlnc-mado gown Is of nain sook fulled to a beading with edging of laco and having inserts of Swiss ombroldery. Either narrow val or cluny laco Is used for this work, tho lattor having tho preference for weav ing qualities. Tho very short sleeves aro trimmed with Insertion and lace. This is a graceful garment and tho Tho plain blouso corresponds with tho skirt in simplicity of design, and is Joined to it in a ono-pleco garment. High, round buttons, covered with tho fabric, provide Its decoration and re appear down tho front of tho skirt. Tho shoulders aro long, and tho sleeves rather closelltting and finished with a plain turn-back cuff. A faint echo of military styles is discovered In tho narrow belt ofvhlto sucdo leather with ribbon set on at each sido in cartridgo-bolt fashion. It fastens with a dark buckle at tho right side. A moderately wide, straight band fin ishes tho neck, affording a support for any one of tho numerous now collars and neckpieces by means of which tho wearer may show her regard for fash ion's last word. One of the several advantages of a simply mado frock lies In tho fact that one may wear accessories of so many different kinds with it. model might bo copied in hand-crocheted lacea and hand embroidory for a very elegant gown. In this case tho monogram, or Initial, would tako tho placo of ono of tho embroidered (.low er sprays, and a flno grado of organdie or handkerchief linen could bo substi tuted for tho Swiss embroidery. Also tho flower sprays could bo varied and two or threo different designs used. Hand-crochoted yokes and narrow edgings aro not to bo overlooked by thoso ambitious to own handmado un dermusllns. Their wearing qualities and shapeliness commend them. In selecting tho yard goods to go with them, durability Is to bo borno in mind, and it is to bo found in tho sheerer fabrics when they aro well woven. j Cuff Trimming. Cuff trimming on woman's skirts Is a fashion feature obvJously borrowed from mascullno styles. Man's trousers have oxplolted cuffs for many years, but skirts havo only recently adopted tho garnishment. Promet Introduced tho cuffed skirt in tailored costumes. Tho cuff turns up across tho back only, from sido seam to sido seam, and is wider at Its center than at tho seams where it starts. Other skirts havo cuffs all around, tho edge of tho skirt swinging clear of tho buttoned street boot. Tho Idea Is not a bad one In consideration of possible longer skirts coming. It will bo nu easy mnttor to let down tho cuff and attach a facing underneath. For Blouses. Georgette cropo Is the most favored material for tho dressy separate blouso, and tho very palo tints, such aa champagno, llosh-plnk and ivory, aro most in demand. London. Tho reply of the Austrian Hungarian government to tho second American note on tho sinking of tho steamship Anconn, with tho loss of American liveu fully agrees with tho Washington ca'blnet that the sacred laws of humanity should bo taken into account also In war and empha sizes that it, In tiro courso of this war, has given numerous proofs of tho most humano feelings. Tho reply to tho noto states that the commander of tho Austrian sub arino has been punished for not suf ficiently taking account of tho panto aboard tho Ancona, which rendered disembarking moro difficult. The Aus-tro-Hungarian government declares positively that enemy vessels, so long as they do not fly or offer resistance, shall not be destroyed before tho per sons aboard aro secured. Tho assuranco that tho United States government attaches valuo to tho maintenance of tho existing good relations between Austria-Hungary and the United States Is warmly reci procated by the Austro-IIungarlun government. Tho reply communicated tho results of tho inquiry into tho sinking of tho Ancona, which was recently con cluded. Austria, while announcing willing ness to pay nn Indemnity for tho American victims of the Ancona, de clares that tho government cannot ad mit responsibility for damago caused by tho Justifiable firing on tho fleeing vessel or by tho capsizing of tho boats beforo the torpedo was fired and fur ther expresses tho hope that Wash ington will bo able to supply tho par ticulars of how the American citizens were affected, but in tho event of such evidence being lacking and tho United States being unablo to stato how tho American citizens came to their death, the Austro-Hungarlan government Is ready to pass lightly over this' deficiency and indemnify for dnmnges, whoso proximate cause can not bo fixed and hopes thereby that tho incident will be regarded as ended. Settlement Seems Sure. Washington. Government officials believe that tho danger of a break in diplomatic relations between the United States and Austro-Hungary over the sinking of the Ancona has cleared away. Punishment of the submarlno commander for failure 'to take Into account tho panic prevail ing aboard tho Ancona beforo tor pedoing tho vessel, apparently meets the principal American demand. In effect it might bo regarded ns a dis avowal of tho net and assurances that an Incident for which nn officer of tho navy was punished would not hap pen again might bo taken for granted. Schmidt Found Guilty. Los Angeles, Cal. Matthew A. Schmidt was convicted of first degree murder ns tho accomplice of James B. McNamnra In tho blowing up of tho Los Angeles Times building here five years ago. Tho specific charge was of having murdered Charles Hagerty, one of tho twenty victims of tho Times explo sion.
