EARLY LINEN COAT SUITS
Models Now Being shown Are
Neither Beautiful or
Practical.

OF course, the present summer models are
but tentative, bold guesses at things to
come, made for the benefit of those who
spend the late winter and spring in south
ern lands, but these guesses are interest
ing. and some Of them are cleverly made.
Winter modes have been translated into
spring materials. with notifications de-
manded by those materials. and II the re-
suit is not startIngly original it is at least
eminently attractive.
As usual. linens are well represented in
the early showing. and one finds chic linen
models both in the princess or one-piece
frocks and in coat and skirt arrangements.
The latter suggest in line the street cos
tunes of the winter, but not those OF the
most extreme types, and though the linen
is Of the sort very free from stiffening.
this material is not supple enough to lend
itself readily to the limp clinging effects.
The coat and skirt suit OF linen pictured
in the cut is fairly re representative Of the best
class OF those early models and, as will
be seen, there is nothing original about the
lines; yet it had considerable cachet by
virtue of its ~colortng and details. In a soft
light brown and of particularly soft tex
ture. 1t had an oddly constructed skirt,
which was more attractive in fact than in
the telling, yet was merely a pretty sue
| cessful effort to solve the problem Of the
light skirt and the summer materials. The
upper part of this linen skirt was fitted
snugly, but at the knees, in front, the
lower part of the skirt joined the upper
in two very wide flat box plaits.
This provided fullness and movement
around the foot. but the close upper skirt
sloped down at each side to the hem, 50
that the back was all in one, with this
gored upper section and the plated fulness
appearing only across the front and a
little way around the sides. The coat OF
the costume, cut after a familiar model,
fastened with large buttons covered in
ecru linen and heavily embroidered in
brown, and similar buttons were used on
the back of the straight, loose coat.
What one % these suits would look like
should it. through any chance, require
laundering can be better imagined than
predicted and, considering the cost OF ever
a modest linen suit, indications are that
there will not be a rush for these early
models.

NEW INFrELD o TEDDY BEARS
Additions Being Made to Team by
MRnRner G%unThorpe

J. +. Gunthorpe. the new proprietor Of

Tit reason Mr.. Tebeau represented the
Denver team in the meetings was that tlnai

said Mr.. Gunthorpe. "Under the terms OF
the sale the final payment was not to be
made until November %, and the meeting
was held before that time. Mr.. Iebeau
has no interest whatever in the team now.
We have a five-year lease on the. grqund
and IL money can do ir Denver VIII De
given a good team this year.
Some people think l paid a big price LOT
the team, but l know that Denver Is one
OF the best base ball towns on the map u
a good team is placed there, and we VIII
see that this is done. l can sell. the
team today foE more than l paid Tor IT.
so that looks as though did not pay TOO
much.
The business then of Denver seem to be
exceptionally well pleased that the team
has changed hands and say they know II
will be d big benefit to the team ana also
to the league -
