cords as well as colored fabrics and
poplins, foulards and taffetas in the

Something new in street dresses is the

place OF a suit. One of these is Of blue
and brown changeable silk fastening
down the front. Almost covering the
waist is a broad Hchu Of white dotted
with blue and bordered with frill of
lace fastened at one-inch intervals with
small brown velvet buttons. The deep

responds with the fichu. The skirt has
a tunic drape edged with narrow plait-
ings Of the silk.
The One-piece daytime dresses are

is simulated either with lace or piping.
On some there is a short apron effect
or peplum.
One Of the daintiest and most elaborate
Of lingerie gowns is hand embroidered in
an elaborate design OF daisies. The skirt
is draped over rows of nuted narrow
shadow lace and rises at the sides. II

edged with crochet balls. Vertical rows

broidery design on the waist and on the
short sleeves. This gown has the short
apron effect in embroidery and lace
down the front
A white crepe gown is trimmed with
embroidery in grape design and cluny
lace and has a bit OF color in a violet
colored velvet girdle and three small
fiat velvet bows on the front of the waist.
The embroidered skirt has a twelve-fnch
wide band of lace around the bottom and
this is edged with a narrower band OF
the embroidery. at the edge of which is a
silk fringe The waist is made with
high neck and three-fourths sleeves which
are deliberately embroidered and trimmed
with lace. Running from waist line half
way up the waist and narrowing as they

of his personal adherents bu, because they realize

imposed upon it. threatens to deliver Mexico to
such reign OF anarchy rapine and terror as would

Whether he can win or not is question which

a few years in another and worse revolution.
