seen with the fuli-length sleeve as IL
is contended by many that long gloves
must be worn so frequently with the
short sleeves that in the end this
style Is the hottest. No simple gowns,
however, have the short sleeves-that
is, the plain linens and the style of
gown designed for general morning
wear. Dutch necks will be worn in
the South this season by Very young
girls, but by older women in the eve
ming only.
Gowns for Evening.
At the more fashionable Southern
hotels, iow-cut evening gowns have,
during the last few years, sprung into
general favor. The debutante and
the bride with her generous trous-
seau will have charming evening
frocks fashioned of lace and chiffon
or Of net embroidered and combined
with soft lace; but satin, silk and all
the more elaborate dinner gowns that
have done service in the winter outfit
are quite permissible for evening
wear at the great hotels of the South
ern resorts.
The new foulard gowns for South
ern wear are extremely pretty. fig
ured design with satin finish yelled in
marquisette Is exceptionally smart
this year. The yelled gowns have by
no means gone out OF fashion. but
the draping of the over-dress is some
what differently arranged. The over
skirt Is now opened up the back. ieay-
ing a line of the silk plainly visible
and the tunic does not fall quite SO
far down as was the case last year, or
else it reaches to the end OF the skirt.
A surplice effect on the bodice is seen
on g great majority Of the new yelled
frocks, the chiffon or marQuisette
draping being finished with an inch
wide hemstitched border. The little
v-shaped yoke thus formed by the
surplice 10 left open for an evening
gown. but for daytime wear Is filed
in with an unlined yoke of ecru lace.
Coat Suit Fabrics.
Even in Southern Florida there are
occasional cool days. and in every
outfit must be provided at least one
coat and skirt costume of heavier
weight than linen or rajah. White
flannel or homespun or Scotch tweed
IL not too heavy in weight make alto
gether the most serviceable costumes
Of this sort, but the lightweight rough
materials In pretty shades Of layen-
der, blue. verfise cream or apple green
are certainly smartest. Heavy white
silk coat and skirt costumes are also
to be much in vogue.
For morning use there must be
about m equal number OF linen and
lingerie frocks provided. The so-call-
ed shirtwaist Is scarcely recognizable
in the dainty CONNECTION of embroid-
cry. lace and delicate batiste or strip
ed gingham that now passes under

FIANCE'S FAMILY
MUST CALL

Unless severe illness in his family
prevents, a girl who has Just become
engaged must wait for he's future
husbands family to call upon her.
The reason for this lis obvious. she ~
about to become a member OF another
family. IL she is welcome there. its
members will hasten to greet her:
il she IL not. they will stay away. she
may not make the first call. for then
she Ia in the position OF forcing her
acquaintance upon them, and. II they
are inconsiderate, she may be sub
jectd to snubbing.
Courtesy and good form demand
that, even If q girl lis not altogether
welcome to her future ''in-laws," they
shall call upon her as soon as they
know OF the engagement, for II they
fail to do 50 ii Is an announcement
to the world that they are dlspleased.
1t is always the part of wisdom To
keep knowledge OF private family
matter from the public, and So it IS
that a woman will go to see her sons
fiancee even though she may wish
the engagement did not exist.
The only justifiable excuse for the
older woman's not going at once il
illness on her part. or that of her
family. or a good and sufficient reason
why she should not receive the girl.
n woman OIL any experience VIII HeSt-
tate before she will make such a
sweeping condemnation of a young
woman whom her son expects to
marry, and SO it is that she goes at
once.
If young mans father will call
upon his future daughter-in-law it is
considered mark of courtesy. but
In not required, for the visit of the
older woman means his sanction to
the engagement.
. ff Il young man who ftss bsscorffe
engaged has any sisters, they, too.
must call Immediately upon his
fiancee. even though they may not
have known her previously.
On her part she is to receive such
visits with cordially and good feel
ing.
III for any reason she has not cared
much for her fiance's family and has
known them. any former lack OF
friendliness must be renewed, even at
the cost of effort, for II Is both III
bred and stupid for girl not to be
on good terms with her future hus-
bands relatives. and II necessary she
must overlook everything not incon-
sistent with seIf-respect in her en-
deavor to have peace, even if only on
the surface.
If the young mans family ike In
another city they are supposed to
make their welcome through letters
written at once to the girl.
She may not be the first to write
any more than she is to cali.

has been claimed for some time
that the Anti-Gambling law pass
ed by the Territorial Legislature
in 1909, has been persistently
violated both in the old town and
the new during the past months
The officers have gotten busy and
as result the grand jury has in
dlcted four for violation of this
act The four appeared before
Judge C. J. Roberts yesterday
and pleaded guilty to the charges
against them. They are: Ale
iandro Cores, Vincent Cruter.
Palmer and Flaherty, three Of
vhom are saloon keepers.
! The court sentenced each to pay
a fine of two hundred and fifty
dollars and added a Jail SEN
tence of one year. The latter
however was suspended during
good behavior. In passing SEN
tence, the court said that since
the representatives of the peo-
pie in the legislature had decid
ed that the time had come when
gambling in New Mexico must
cease, it was the duty of the Of
fcers to see that it does cease.
This being the first offense in
this district to be brought before
the court, the Jail sentences were
suspended but said Judge Roberts
this isnot to be taken that there
will be no Jail sentences in the
future. The court gave the de-
PENDANTS some sound advise as TO
the conduct of their saloons, say
ing that when the saloons are
conducted according to the law,
there would be no interference
with the business, but that as
soon as the saloonman broke the
law, he was, in the, eyes of the
court, the same as any other cri-
minal and would be treated in
! the same manner.
