History To Be Repeated


Communication was interrupted for
a few minutes. "A telegram has just
been brought to me from General
Trucy Auburt at Cuatro Cienagas,
which says the rebel chief, Salazar,
was completely routed, and is fleeing
in the direction of Sierra Mojada,"
said Huerta. The couriers from the
advance guard arrived at this juno
ture, according to Huerta, and in
former him that federal outposts were
in the possession of the Mexican Cen
trail railroad up to within IL miles
Of Bermejillo.
Today is the first anniversary OF
the Juarez to Madero, and equally i'm
portant developments in Mexican his
tory, are said to be expected.

LINGERIE GOWNS WITH
TOUCHES OF COLOR

THIS summers lingerie gowns. what
ever their Combination of fine muslin
and lace. will have some clever touch of
color or black This will be accomplished
in many ways. For instance. a ribbon
girdle or tie, silk buttons and loops, bands
Of ribbon on the underdress, circlets or
little punches Of flowers. A gown Of en-
broidery on handkerchief linen is set off
by tiny tucks and outlines of hemstitch-
ing A novel touch is neck frill Of
tulle, which is laid in side plaits about
half an inch deep and reaches out to the
edge of the shoulders. Under it is band
Of dull blue chiffon, which is also used
for the girdle. There are little buttons
on the collar Of matching blue.
A gown of cream net has a charming
touch of color in girdle Of Irish green
velvet. Groups of green buttons set on
a hemstitched fold extend down the front
of the bodice and skirt
A gown of soft coral taffeta has an
all-over cream net lace for the panel.
sleeves and underbodice and a girdle Of
old blue, an extremely effective color
scheme. 1t has just graceful knotting
Of the silk over the bust, and the skirt
drapery caught up into a bow at the
front.
A black hat is always good with lingerie
gowns. A fancy lace ornament wired to
keep its place and shape. is a good choice
Of trimming. Some of these lace orna
ments are in the shape of plumes that
curl around the brim or droop over the
edge.

and a pretty frock is achieved.
White fabrics. like lawn, may have
flouncing two yards on the lower edge.
and the upper part slightly gathered or
in pin tucks. Tucks may be used above
the work. Another plan would be to
have a tiny peplum of the fiouncing
around the top, elbow sleeves of fiounc-
ing, and small, round yoke of all
over lace. The f1ouncing could be used
for a surplice effect in a blouse, with
scallops toward the center.
Plaid and striped ginghams should be
self trimmed, and the handiest finish for
the simple skirt and blouse Is a round or
pointed collar, belt and cuffs, Of white
pique, or Turkish toweling. made remov-
able.
Wash silks are practical for many rea-
sons. They are now used for a dozen
purposes not thought of some time ago.
Many women use wash silks for summer
and for the frocks that the children
dance in on summer evenings, as the

places on account OF the difficulty of get

Dressy Short Coats.

ITO be worn with lingerie and lace
dresses are the quaint little taffeta
coats. They are trimmed with ruchings
of self material. are short and cut in
novel form, sometimes with coat tails or
sash ends finishing the back. Both light
and dark colors are used in their con-
struction.
Some models of changeable taffeta in
blues. combined with green. pink and
gold. have the sleeves gathered into the
armhole, extended back panel, cutaway
front and one-button fastening. One at
tractive model is deliberately trimmed
with sh!rred bands. These edge the col
lar, the cuffs of the three-quarter sleeves,
the skirt and even outline the back panel,
on which two silk-covered buttons are SO
placed as to give a slightly high wasted
effect. single frog of corded silk fas-
tens the Jacket in front and tiny frills

air. to the wrap.
Short, loose-backed or belted-in cuta-
way jackets Of plain colored taffeta are
worn with the new accordion-plaited
skirts of crepe de chine, chiffon or taf-
feta. This plating is SO fine that 1t gives
to the soft matera the appearance OF
heavy, crinkled crepe and admits of be-
ing adjusted so that it envelops the figure

Short, fancy jackets OF rough, loosely

worn with skirts of darker tone. Canvas

cross-stitch, is used as trimming. The
work is done in worsted or rope silk OF
different colors in an old-fashioned rag
carpet design. which Is original and ef
fectiye.

for office wear. They last longer and

than sheer. lace-trimmed models, and
have a businesslike look that is very at

collar are piquant rather than severe on
a pretty maid. and II the skin is well
groomed. the hands exquisitely kept and
the couture fluffy and pretty. the severe
shirt waist will be very attractive indeed.
If the high collar Is not comfortable be-
cause of a short or plump neck, a dainty
fichu and cuffs, kept at the office, may be
adjusted during the day. simple, dainty
fichu with cuffs to match Is Illustrated.
On warm summer days this pretty fichu
adjusted over a dark blouse. turned in at
the neck, will be very cool and comfort

The dainty lace frock included among
the illustrations is not intended for APP
pearance at the office: but is the little
business girls gala frock-the special cos
tune reserved for red letter occasions
when she is invited out to dinner or a
theater, or attends social gathering OF
any sort. The cream lace frock pictured
is not at all an expensive model and any
business girl clever with her needle could
build such a frock for herself In the
evenings, without the aid of a sewing
machine. A cream net bordered robe
pattern was used for this frock. and the
kmono bodice is put together with bands
of the lace trimming. White boots and
long silk gloves embroidered on the
wrists accompanying the frock and a
smart fiower-tr. mined hat and parasol
make 1T suitable for occasional afternoon
wear in midsummer. In the latter case
the thin net frock should be slipped over
a foundation of thin silk or silk and
cotton material.

dainty summer gowns at a small expense.
Such fabrics require simple designs. An

actly. There are special papers and Gre
tonnes which come in matching patterns,
but though the room papered and cur
tanned in this way seems very dainty
and LUXURIOUS at first, one soon tires of
SO much sameness. and the eternal flowers
on wall paper, windows chairs, couch and
bed are apt to get on ones nerves.
The cretonne-trimmed screen illustrated
will prove invaluable to the woman who
likes to carry her sewing out to the porch
on summer mornings. The screen stands
about three feet high and Is made of
denim tackled to light wood frame with
brass-headed tacks. A brass handle at
the top makes 1t easy to lift the screen
about from house to porch or lawn and
vice versa On the cross pieces Of the
screen, also covered neatly with the
denim. are nails and hooks to which may
be hung pincushion, needle case and vari-
Gus bags containing buttons hooks and
eyes and other sewing necessities. The
pockets Of shirred cretonne across the
bottom Of the screen are for pieces OF
material and for finished work, and in the
pocket at the top may be kept patterns,
scissors, bits Of trimming and the like.
The shelf on one panel Of the screen is
a convenient place to lay the sewing i'm
plementS while at work. and before the
screen is carried indoors the shelf Is fold
ed back fiat against the screen panel.
Another clever porch sewing outfit is
made OF a large wooden cheesebox. The
lid Of the box forms the tray at the top,
and the big. deep box the lower recepta-
Gle Three light wood uprights hold the
trays in position, the boxes being tackled
TO the uprights from the inside. The Gre
tonne Innings of the sewing trays are re-
movable, for laundering the shirred Gre
tonne being basted to hoops Of cardboard
which just fit around the inner edge of
the trays The shirred sides of the lining
are attached to cretonne circular pieces,
the exact size of the bottom of each tray
In the upper tray will be kept the sewing
implements. and in the lower unfinished
garments, stockings for darning and the
like.
The cretonne darning bag is even hand
Ter to life about than the sewing trays,
and any housewife will appreciate one of
these convenient bags. A strip of Gre
tonne twenty inches wide and forty inches
long will make the bag. Double the Gre
tonne and sew up the sides to within six
inches OF the top. These paacket holes are
| bound with satin ribbon and ribbon ties
hold the openings together when the bag
Is closed. The upper edge of each side OF
the bag is shirred over a wooden en-
broidery hoop, and these hoops must
| first be wound with satin ribbon. The
bag illustrated Is trimmed with two rows
Of satin ribbon Joined by a beading, the
outer row Of ribbon being set over a frill
of still narrower ribbon. This trimming
| is dainty and effective, but may be omit
ted If the bag is strictly unitarian in
purpose. These bags, made Of pretty rose
/ Powered cretonne, are used as catchalls
for small pieces Of laundry in the bed

GONE of the new bandeaux are close
. fitting styles that can be worn with
the hat, while others are ornamented
with white bristle pompons that must be
worn without the hat. Various styles Of
these are made of satin or ribbon over
wire frames, and the beaded varieties are
also made on wire foundations. A
bandeau Of pink satin, made over a wire
foundation of three strands, has ends fin
ished with rosettes and foliage. Another is
composed Of a wide openwork band of silk
and gold 'tinsel thread, finished at the
ends with satin rosettes Another Is a
thin-cblored silk bandeau finished at the
back with an adjustable elastic band. A
white pOmpon ornaments one side.
BandeauX of beads are very popular
sometimes with three strands, and some
times with two. Black and white is a
favorite combination. sometimes combined
with beads of larger size and sometimes
with pompon at one side. These POM
pons are in the tall brush effect.
Barrettes in plain designs, with two
large pins to match, are the most popular,
although designs with inlaid gold effect
and ornamented with rhinestones are
liked also. as are the jeweled back
combs.
