For the short woman, rather stout,
the long slender train, is most becom-
ing. But the woman of height and
slenderness can wear the circular
skirt with very telling effect. Many
of the new round skirts are cut in
such manner that they fit the hips
closely while inverted boxes are in
trOduced just at the knee line to give
that fullness to the skirt around the
ankles. In the dressier of these skirts
there is great deal of embroidery
introduced and there are trimmings
Of lace and braid with panels of jew
eled medallions set in. These can be
bought ineXpensively and their effect
is good.

can be made up with silk or lace.
1t is charming as a shirt waist suit
with plated skirt, round waist
and neck with guimpe set in. There
was a guimpe of this material and
there were cuffs and belt also of the
embroidered lines. An embroidered
linen hat completed this pretty cos
tune.
The white cottons are very sheer,
and to own handsome white cotton
dress means great deal. 1t is both

as chiffons; and there a white cos
tune worked in Empire wreaths and
in rose designs that rank high in the

The Free Lance.

1t would be hard indeed to find more
swinging and characteristic music than
will be heard in 1.-THE Tenderfoot," the
great western operate comedy, which
will be the attraction at the Metropoli-
tan next month. The stars of the OPP
era company are Oscar L. Figman and
Ruth White, two players who are we'll
known all over the country for their
splendid work as the stars of "The
Tenderfoot," when the big revival Of
the piece was made two seasons ago.
Figman has taken front rank among
the comedians of the day by his por-
trayal OF the character of Professor
Pettibone in "The Tenderfoot" His
delightful comedy and dancing have
been a surprise even in his warmest
admirers, and it is said by the Chicago
critics, where 1.-The Tenderfoot" has
just finished run, that he is the best
Pettibone that the piece has yet had.
Miss White has a fine soprano voice
and acts the breezy western girl, Mari
on, to perfection. Other members of
the cast are Fred Bailey, ]. P. Rooney,
H. s. Burns, J. J. Mcclure, Lawrence
Coever, A. w. Hutchins, Louise Brack-
EFT, Edythe Kherns, Grace Sloan, Eva
Cary, Blanche Buehler, Maude Irving
and Rae Clarke. The chorus Is an en-
ceptionally large one, the company
numbering nearly seventy people.

Mr.. TAFT DENIES RlJMORS
The Secretary Says Panama Canal
Affairs Are All Right
Admits, However, That Less Work Is
Being Accomplished and That
Changes Are Contemplated.

Washington, D. C. = 1T is a It's
sue of falsehood." said Secretary Taft,
Friday, when his attention was called
to the reports of dissatisfaction on the
part OF the administration of the man
agement of affairs under the isthmian
canal commission and of the intention
of the officers engaged in that work
to relinquish it and return to the
United States.
Continuing the secretary said:
THE work appears to be progressing
finely. 1t is true that in a recent
month the excavations made under
Col. Goethals were 10000 cubic yards
less than under his predecessor but
this was due to strike and to other
causes beyond his control. Col. Goe-
thals will have all the help in the way
of army officers he may need. His as
sistants 1 am leaving to his own Sc
lection
What about David w. Ross, the re-
tiring general disbursing agent?" was
asked the secretary.
Mr.. Ross resignation was not
asked for" the secretary replied. "His
WOTh mas DSSn III every way SoCIo1dO-
tory and he was one of the most ef-
ficient officers we ever had. Because
of his private business Mr.. Ross want
ed to leave the commission June /,
but wanted him to stay at least until
July 15''
Secretary Taft declared that the
resignation of Engineer Ripley was
voluntary He and Col. Goethals did
not agree as to the character of some
works, and Mr. Ripley retired" said
the secretary. HE had been design
ing some locks. Nor has General
Manager Bird of the Panama railroad
resigned as has been reported.
IF Jackson Smith, the commissioner
who has charge of all the labor on the
isthmus, has resigned" continued the
secretary, Il don't know it. There is

ports of his resignation

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and flneness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects she wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

Is the Sailors, Friend.

Sixty thousand sailors look to H. A.
Hanbury for advice. and for protec-
ton. Mr.. Hanbury is the United
States shipping commissioner for the
port of New York. He is the sailors
judge and jury. The men who sign
on foreign craft now must appear be
fore him for their papers instead of
going to the consuls of the various
countries. He decides all disputed
questions between the men and their
sailing masters. Many of the abuses
of these men that formerly were COM
mon, such as compelling them to buy
their outfits from the ship owners or
captains, have been done away with
under Mr.. Hanbury's rule. His office
is on the Battery park, New York,
where he easily can reach all the
ships leaving that port.
