coLLARETTE TO MATCH HAT.
Gives Dressy Effect to Plain Cloth or
Silk Costume.

One of the newest fancies of fashion
Is the colarette, or ruff, fastened in
the back with long ends of ribbon.
which hang down the back. This is
the latest suggestion In the way of
boas or neckpieces for wear out of
doors. The collarette is a large ruff
made of plated ribbon, chiffon. net,
etc., and quite high and full-much
like Pierrot collar. At the back
there Is a large rosette of ribbon to
fasten 1t and from beneath the rosette
the ribbons hanging quite a distance
down the back. Frequently there is
rosette at the back of the hat to
match that on the collar The collar
ette and hat should, in fact, be in ac-
cord, and II they are so they will give
quite a dressy effect to a plain cloth
or silk costume. For instance. with
a dark blue suit a shaded blue collar
ette and shaded blue hat having the
same tones might be used. With a
gray suit an orange and white boa
and straw color and white hat might
give a touch Of gayety.

"Bridoe" Erocks.

1t is now quite the fashion to dub
all the good looking frocks that are
not intended for balls and dinners rs
bridge frocks. The name is often mis-
used.
Women who never play bridge wear
the frocks by that name. We used to
say restaurant gown" and that name
was amusingly used by women who
rarely dined or supped out of their
own houses.
The bridge frock, so called, is any
kind Of gown that you may wear to
a wedding, or an afternoon tea, or an
informal dinner, or a party, If you do
not wear your gowns low at the neck.
The name has jumped into popular
ity. Just as the men who never
studied beyond the three RS wear col
lege bands around their hats and girls
who have never been on board a
yacht wear the marine symbols on
their sleeves. SO women who do not
know king from ace speak familiarly
Of their bridge" frocks.

Lonoer Skirts for Little Girls.

This fashion of putting little girls
into frocks that scarcely cover them
came into vogue last year, and liter
ally deformed thin children who be-
came the victims of it. This year the
loose frocks are all about full knee
in length, and some still longer. In
addition to the blouses and tunics
there are many apron, or pinafore
frock forms. supply Of which will
keep the healthy romper looking fresh
at all hours of tt = day, at compsra-
lively small outlay Of labor or money.

TWO SCHOOLS
SHOULD MERGE
UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO OUGHT
TO ABSORB DENVER MEDICAL
COLLEGE.
so SAY THE DOCTORS
RECOMMENDATIONS OF AMERi.
CAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
COMMITTEE ON SCHOOLS.

"Denver.-The long cherished wish OF
the State University to enter the Den
yer field with its medical school is to
be realized at the next session of the
Legislature, and this action will be
only a step toward the ultimate merg-
ing of the State Medical school and the
Denver and Gross Medical college un-
der the authority Of the State Univer-
sity,' was the statement made by DIR.
w. w. Grant, one of the nine trustees
of the American Medical Association
The doctor has just returned from
Chicago, where he was one of the e.
500 doctors in attendance at the fifty
ninth annual meeting of the aSSocia-
ton, the largest meeting OF physicians
and surgeons ever held in the United
States or the world.
The principal business transacted by
the association was to recommend that
the number of medical schools in the
United States be materially reduced,
that where there are 16l today, with
only LA in the entire balance of the
world, there should be only seventy or
eighty. The association has a perma-
nent committee Of five to investigate
the conditions of the medical schools
in the different states and ascertain
where medical instruction could be
bettered by consolidation of abolition.
In regard to Colorado the committee
reported:
Colorado has two medical schools
which should be merged on the plan re-
Gently adopted in Indiana. There the
Purdue university medical school and
the Indiana state school were both
merged into the state school, with the
last two years of the course given at
Indianapolis and the first two at either
Bloomington or Indianapolis. There
should be strong medical depart
ment of the State university Offering
the first two years at Boulder and the
complete four years at Denver.
There will be vigorous movement
in the state Legislature next session
and the schools will be brought to
Denver"

Glenwood Springs, Colo.-What is
thought to be the longest and most
closely contested game in the history
of baseball in Colorado was played
here Tuesday when the locals met the
Cripple Creek State league team, win
ming in the eighteenth inning by the
score of 5 to 4.
After the tenth inning had been
played the story of the game was
passed about the city, with the result
that hundreds of persons paid admis-
sion after the 18th inning. Tickets were
purchased at the box office even after
the fifteenth inning had been played.
The game last four hours, lacking but
ten minutes. Local fans went wild
with enthusiasm. and at night the
players were being feted by their ad
mirers.

FASHIONS A WORRY.
Strain on Purse in Constant Effort to
Keep in Style.

These days of ever-changing fash
ions are troublous ones for femininity
An abyss Of restless modernity sepa-
century-from the peaceful times
when garments were for many years
cut upon the same patterns and varied
mainly in their adaptation to the
length and fullness of the wearer's
purse. "The petticoat of Sarcenet,
with broad black lace fiounce print
ed on the bottom and before: the
tlowered satin and plain satin-laced,
with rich lace at the bottom" as the
case might be, descended from mother
TO daughter unaltered even in the loop
ing of the train or the trimming of the
bodice or the run
To-day, even with a closet full Of
good clothes left over from last year,
the girl in moderate circumstances
regards it as necessary spring and fall
either to get new things or to over
haul what she has-and frequently
the latter process costs more in the
end than the former. 1t is not al
ways wise economy to spend much on
ordinary clothes, as the result is sell
dom good; it requires the exercise
of some judgment to recognize what
it will pay to alter-and many a girl
prides herself on her economy who
really is eXtravagant
The wiser plan, when one is not
wealthy, is to buy good things and
then to wear them as they are with
out worrying as to whether they are
exactly on the same pattern as ones
neighbor's, Every woman is entitled
to style of her own and need not
be as anxious as American women
usually are to be precisely like every
one else.

Trimming with Ball Fringe.

The upholstery department is fur
nishing good many of our clothes
Just now. Its cretonnes are cut into
coats its tablecloths are made into
skirts; its lace curtains are used for
tunics and now its cotton ball fringe
is the .opular trimming on linen and
cotton suits and frocks.
Many of the top coats of linen de-
pend upon this trimming for their
only elaboration. The little balls are
attached to a selvedge Of braid and
run on the edge of collars, revers and
sleeves.
On cotton frocks such as gingham
and voile and galatea this little white
or ecru ball fringe is also used, al
though 1t is not as pretty on q tub
frock as on a top coat.
