Gimp dresses .aiare by no means
confined to the youngsters realm, and
are extremely becoming to- many a
young nlatron, who is slightly built,
the bertha yruffle giving breadth of
shoulder and the fullness in the. ad-
Unstable yoke taking away any flat
ness of chest. The one Illustrated is
in silk and wool yelling. In color a
brilliant russell brown, and the trim
ming bands and crush girdle are of
velvet in much deeper shade of the
same color. The simplicity Of this
little frock makes it extremely chic,
the sleevesalene having. any degree of
BUSINESS, and that no more than :, is
eeessary with this new leg o. mutton
model. The skirt is three pieeed, with
fullness gathered at waist line, at
sides and to the edge of inverted back
plaits. Velvet bands lattice in dia-
mond outlines, atheslower points four
inches above hem edge. The waist
has syokes line at back corresponding
to the front, the layer double breasted
and trimmed with velvet covered but

rial. At center back from under
plating are two wide tucks almost
edge to edge, the stitching stopped
three inches down. These at waist
are turned with edge out, the fullness
either side similarly ,pinched up, and
all bloused out straight over the top
of the soft folded girdle. The sleeves
are leg o. mutton and shirred at seam,
giving little crosswise fullness, but
not much. At three-quarter length a
plated taffeta frill finishes, and below
that is a lace cuff on the gimp
sleeve. The gimp itself is of silk
embroidered net, the back having very
much less fullness than the front, and
has fitted lawn lower part, with
close fitting sleeves that end at cuff
tops. The little strap tie has double
ends of plated taffeta and the crush
collar has crepe hsse tHcking as fin
ish. For people of ample proportions
the waists to wear with ginps are
extremely pretty when finished with
hand-worked scallops when the ma
terial will permit: with sleeves and
skirt hem also scalloped a most at
tractive frock is the result.

The Rose and the Star


Why is the rose SO gay in it's filmy beauty
clad? .r4
And why is the star of eve Away, in the
cloudless West, so sad?
The rose lives only for a day, and at dark
in the dust it lies
While the star shines still Ger river and
HILL joy to mortal eyes
Why, l say, is the rose so gay, and the
evening star never glad?
The voice of the wind l caught, DER a
shattered rose 1t blew,
And know it's words. as it wandered by,
In the garden old were true =lS
The rose is gay, though brief its breath,
Because it ne'er hath looked on DEATH
But the evening star on high
Why should it not be sad? Alas,
1t hath watched a million summers pass,
Like beautiful visions over a glass,
And-a myriad roses die!'

say 'twere better risk the fall.

And boldly climb to deadly bliss.

What mighty Ministries came of it!
Their songs are ringing to this day,
The bravest ever sung or writ.
Their loves the. love of Juliet,
Of Portia, Desdemona, year,
The old true loves are living yet;
And we, we love, we weep, We sigh
In love with loves that will not die.
Then take her, lover, sword in hand,
Hot -bleoded and red-handed; clasp
Her sudden, stormy, tall and grand
And lift her in your iron grasp
And kiss her. kiss her till she cries
From keen, sweet happy, killing pain
Aye. kiss her till she seeming dies;
Aye. kiss her till she dies, and then,
Why. kiss her back to life again!

TROUBLE OVER A. SITE
Lively Protest Now Expected

TROUBLE OVER A. SITE
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Los ANGELES, March 31-A syndi-
cate of wealthy property owners inter-
ested in the business section in the
neighborhood of the courthouse have
sent Attorney John c. Mott to Wash
ington to offer to the United States
Government a free site for the million
dollar postoffice for which an appro-
priation has been made.
For more than two years the Los An
geles postoffice has occupied temporary
quarters as the result of a wrangle
over a site. The Government con-
demned a block Of property adjoining
the old site, but the legality of the
proceedings was successfully attacked.
Since then various proceedings have
been instituted. In order to prevent
the placing of the proposed building
near the southern limits of the bust
ness center. the syndicate will offer
the property known as the Downey
block at Temple and Spring streets
free to the Government and will pay
for it and for the removal Of present
buildings by mutual assessments. The
scheme would involve an expenditure
of something like $500. 900, but the plan
will be vigorously opposed by owners
of property in other sections of the
business part of the city.
