The be-frilled and be fashioned Fluffy -Ruffles" of a season or two ago has met her Waterloo in the new Empire and Directoire styles that ob- tain this season. Not that we must entirely dispense with the bewitching frou-frou of muslin and lingeries, but its fuffness must be subdued if one is to get the desired silhouette effect that Dame Fashion demands this spring. In all underpinning, supple and clinging materials are demanded, and folds. wrinkles and plaits tabooed. this has had a tendency to popularize the combination idea in underwear. Adhering to these styles precludes the possibility of being A 'lumpy dresser" as George Ade has 1t. There are in- numerable expressions of the combina- tion idea. The most extreme com bine. smooth fitting corset cover with knickerbockers carefully fitted and without any unnecessary fullness. These are being made in soft satins, silks. Italian cloths. nainsook, null. dimity and other materials of a cling ing nature. There are really three distinct styles of combination gar ments shown this spring, which are meeting with success. The three piece, combining corset-cover, drawers and skirt; the two-piece, combining corset cover and skirt or cover and drawers joined by ribbon run beading. or the one-piece princess slip, which is probably the newest and most ad- aptable to the present fashions. The princess combination Is shown both with the drawers and cover. or with the long skirt and cover. and invari- ably buttons in the back. These gar rnents are made in simple tailored de- signs or elaborately trimmed, making them suitable to be worn with the one piece lingerie dresses SO popular this season. Another novelty combination is the sheathbocke CT shown in messa- line. Jap silk. sateen or naimsook. This garment combines the brassiere close fitting corset cover. which is boned over the bust and in the front, and the knickerbocker which is cut circular. fitting the hips smoothly with e slight bIousing at the knee.

also for negligees. Cross barred dimi- ties and muslins are also very popular. The various kinds of cambrics, French nainsook. marzalla. fine lawns and lin- ems are all good. In embroideries the nainsooks are preferred. and in laces the French and German Valenciennes are always dainty and pretty. The German variety Is the best wearing Linen torchons, while more expensive. are sufficiently more durable to make them worth consideration to the econ- omist. Presttiest of all in skiilful hands is the handmade embroideries, whether 1t Is simply scalloped edge or has an addition of some design.
 Under the general head of negligees there are many garments which are fascinatingly pretty, and sshre made purposely for wearing to breakfast, during convalescence or to receive in. The mandate comes from Paris that a mantle of renaissance scheme has dis placed the kimona, though we have seen few of these styles over here as yet. The kimona. however. is not so much shown this spring as the jackets cut on the blouse style, with either leg of-mutton sleeves Or the half sleeve slightly puffed and banded just below the elbow. The necks cut rather low and the collar takes a sailor shape across the back. Many have the plain effect across the shoulders. the sepa- rately cut straight long sleeves. and the split sash ribbon band. bordering neck. fronts and sleeves. and are sash belted. Others have wide turned d-down collars and sleeves fastening up the middle with an edging of lace. The materials most favored for spring are cotton crepes. imitation silks, printed foulards, crepe dechine. French nain- sock. batistes. challis and Japanese weaves.

An Archaeological Congress.

Cairo, March 13-An archaelogicai congress which will be a continuation of the congress held in Athens a few years ago, Is to be held in Cairo and Alexandria in April.
 The Congress will devote its atten- tion to subjects which embrace primarily the whole field Of classical archaeology. from the earliest Minoan times down to the late Byzantine epoch, including, almost as branch sub iects countries like Egypt, Numidia, and the region around Carthage The archaeology of all these countries will be discussed. Not the least important question will be that which deals with the newly discovered science of papyr- ology. and classical scholars will no doubt gain a great deal of information,

and puffs. To must successfully arrange the low Psyche knot the hair should first be parted across the 'op of the head from ear to ear and thA hair at the back of the head securely tied, to give solid foundation to which to fasten the false parts. There must also be ample looseness below the tying for the soft puffed effect At the nape of the neck. Small rolls are sug gested to hold the hair out at the sides The front hair Is puffed and arranged in any desired style that Is suited to the individual. Another charming style of Psyche inspiration has the knot surrounded with a soft' coil. while still another design shows both coil and curls.
 Bangs, or as the hairdresser terms them French fringe, are fashionable but not as much favored over here as they are on the other side For the woman with an unusually high fore head this idea will be most welcome. for the outline of the face Is softened By them. If the straight bang Is not becoming let the wearer put few feet These flat and Psyche styles make barettes very popular, also vari- ous ideas fin hair ornaments made of tuue or maline. powdered with rhine stone beads and finished with a dainty aigrette to match. The coronet. the coquettish bow. little half wreath of roses or forget me nots, manufac- tured out or ribbons are the rage for evening dress, as aTso are feathers For street wear tortoise shell. jet and coral ornaments are in vogue.

BOXING

Don't you think the championship
candidates would go after the increased
stakes. even at the risk of being out
! lawed by the international board?
Without going deeper into the sub
ject now, the writer is of the belief
that forming an international board OF
control with boxing as it is smacks OF
a good deal of beginning at the top No
very great progress can be made in a
movement of that kind until the ban
is removed and boxing is recognized
as a standard sport the world around.
Can't Harness Game.
While there are best favored locali-
ties so far as privileges and conces-
sions are concerned. any effort to har-
ness the game of the ring will prove
futile.
AS for the fighter himself, it will be
always hard matter to keep him
in leading strings. If he is suspected
of ability to wallop everybody in his
class, he will be in position to dictate.
He may be decent enough fellow
in private life and possessed of an Or
derby mind, but he always will have
with him the souring reflection that it
is his fists and his fists alone that
keep him at the top O. the heap.
He knows in his heart that in a way
he is leading a butterfly existence. and
that his dow-Fall will be an occasion

suit that they are taking second place.
IF it is said in objection that Jim
my Driscoll and Owen Moran have
shown themselves as good as or better
than the best Americans in their class,
I would answer that they box rather in
the American style than the English,
and that both have had experien in
America. Of Driscoll, however, it must
be said that he is one of the exceptions
to rules. He is natural boxer of
wonderful skill, able for that reason to
see and use the good points of all
styles of boxing.

my fights with Summers by the rulings

Idaho Props Beat
Old Whitman Men

Tuesday night in the gymnasium of
the Spokane Amateur Athletic club, the
basketball prep team from the Uni
versity of Idaho defeated the club team
by the score of % to Is. On the Spo-
kane team at the time were, "Alf Belt,
captain of the Whitman varsity who is
spending the holidays with his parents
in Spokane, Willard Penthouse, who
played guard on the Whitman team last
year and Warren Belt better known to
Walla Wallans as Butch" Belt VINO
held down a forward position with the
Whitman team last year. The reports
coming from the Falls City are to the
effect that the "preps" have a fast
team, well coached, and team in
which the individual players play to-
gether with remarkable smoothness.
The Spokane reports on the other
hand say that the club team had an
off night and were not up to class.
"Alf' Belt who played guard for the
club team was the individual star of
the game, landing three baskets.
The report has greatly amused the
Whitman men who have heard of the
result and it is expected that Belt will
be in for his share of explaining when
he returns to college next week.

SAN FRANCISCO THE LOGICAL
PLACE TO PULL OFF FIGHT

Of course, the collecting of the SOL
900 for the fight is not regarded as very
hard. rs the pictures those interested
in the contest are figuring on, and Kick
ard would probably as soon hold the
bout in Utah as in San Francisco, even
though that point is much more mac
cessible than the coast town.
"In the pictures is where the real
gravy ccmes in" said Lou Housman,
who has some sort of an interest in the
taking of the films of the fight while
he was in this city. Il had the Illinois
rights to the Corbett and Fitzsimmons
pictures, and paid an Stuart over $780,
900 in royalties. If Jeffries wins over
Johnson the pictures of their battle
will be worth at least $1,000,00O."
That's the biggest money talk yet,
and if Housman is honest in declaring
his turn-in of the Corbet- Fitzsimnons
pictures as from one state, he is about
right in his predictions this time.

everything in the pugilistic line in this
country, and the public takes what Is

for it. AS between the boxers and the
