An aerial tank has been Invented nnd put into' practical nse by Italian soldiers who hnve astounded the world hy then- extraordinary feats 1n moun tain warfare. An Austrian machine gun emplncement was so situated 'on a mountain side that It poured a -harassing lire Into nn Italian post. The Austrian position 'was unassailable by ordinary menns, hut It was necessary that it ho wiped out. A "Telefwlca" car, mnny of which nre operated by the Italians across chasms and tip mountain sides, was armored and equipped with machine guns. Volun teers were culled for, and from fbe ninny who responded two were chosen to man the guns.

From one of the great Paris designers comes, the lovely gown pictured above and It Is a trlumpliof French discernment nnd good tame? for It Is quiet enough for daytime near and distinguished enough for evening. It Is of black satin with embroidery In silver thread. This combination appears also 4n French millinery from the most au thoritative sources, but In hats black frame velvet Is used Instead of satin, i We may accept this gown as a crite rion In hues and general make np of styles for the coming season. It has -narrow, pjatn underskirt of moderate length and a straight hanging overgar ment vaguely confined to the figure by nn easy girdle terminating In sash ends. The girdle Is made of satin and that portion that encircles the waist Is embroidered while the sash ends are plain. The skirt portion of the overdress Is as long as the under skirt at the buck and considerably, shorter in front This Is new de velopment of the' tunic skirt which is destined to reappear In . winter gowns. The embroidered band on the hack portion Is not so wide us It Is on the front. . r The sleeves and collar are especial ly Interesting because ' they are both new departures. Both are as plain as possible but each Is original. The sleeves are cut full' length and flaring but are trimmed away at the wrist Un til the npper portion extends only a few Inches below the elbow. ' The up standing collar Is of black crepe georg ette and Is supported by a few very small, unnotlccable wires. Satin In' black and In dork colors, promises to be of all fabrics the most used for afternoon gowns.
