Short Fancy Coats.

Short fancy coats come in so

Blazers with elaborate decora-

The skirt that makes believe

the bottom either at the side or
front is having its innings, but
it's only a 'make-believe" for
the opening is always filled in,
in some way, usually with a con-

most all skirts simulate the lines
of over-skirts or redingotes in
their trimmings, for it is only in
the fussy type of dress that real
over-skirts and panniers are en-
ployed. In these frocks great
use is made of bead fringes, and
these are most often placed at
the foot of the dress or edging

Color Contrasts.

The reds are prominently en-
ployed for color contrast in rose
and coral shades for the most
part, but emerald, royal blue,
chickory blue, and yellow are
perhaps a bit more exclusive and
distinguished for this purpose.
A yellowish green, or greenish
yellow is very stylish for hat
crowns, wings. etc., but very
trying if it comes near the face.
Leather Belts on Dressy
Frocks.
Narrow leather belts are a feat
ure on many of the most success
full frocks, the dark tones of blue
and black patent leather are most
used, but a dress of red and white
striped etamine has an inch wide
belt of the color of the stripe.
These are used also with tussah
and taffeta frocks and suits.
Silk Straw Hats.
Hats half silk, half straw are
perhaps over worn, but in many
cases most attractive and prac-
tical. Sometimes only the crown
is silk, often the outer brim as
we'll, except perhaps the edge,
which will have a band of the
straw. Or the idea may be re-
versed and the facing be silk and
crown and brim straw in endless
variations of color and details.
However, trimmings are spar
ingly used for the most part, and
made pieces of feathers, lace or
silk in outstanding cockade orna-
ments are most fashionably en-
dorsed.

Pittsburgh. March 15.-The water polo
game between the New York Athletic
club and the Chicago Athletic Associa-
ton teams here tonight will probably
put an end TO the sport for all time. In
competency on the part Of the referee al
lowed the match To degenerate into a
disgraceful exhibition of slugging, which
the club officials would not permit to
continue.
The Chicago players evidently began
the game with the avowed intention OF
wiping out old scores and from the start
put aside all rules to drown and disable
their New York opponents. Trubcnbach
was singled out by them during the first
minute of play, and two men strangled
and pommelled him unth Kelly, of the
New York team. went to his rescue. The
spectators. indignant at the foul tactics
OF the Western players, were shouting for
Mcconnell, the Chicago offender. to be
put out OF the game, but the referee
completely lost his head and penalized
the Mercury Foot men instead. AS re-
suit, a goal was given to Chicago.
When the two teams lined up again
another fierce scrimmage occurred, and
this time Steen the New York goal tend
er was caught from behind when the
ball was nowhere near him and terrih-
Cally punished, but again the official re-
fused to see the foul, and when Ruddy
went To save his teammate he was ac-
cused of unnecessary rough work and or
dered out of the game
With only five men against six the
New York players were twice scored on
and in their weakened condition could
not meet the fierce attack Of their rivals.
Free fights then began to take place,
and the officers of the club wisely deter
mined to put stop to the disgraceful
exhibition. and called both teams out OF
the water.
The action of the referee was the more
reprehensible in that he had been warned
beforehand that there was bad blood be-
tween the teams and that any leniency
on his part would cause trouble. In
stead, when Handley was tackled In the
first play with the ball out of the four
foot rule he ignored Captain Reid's pro-
test, end thereafter allowed the Windy
City men TO foul at their own sweet will.
n,,o, ,pban the hall was forty feet away
they would take New York man un-
aware, and he. believing the rules would
protect him. never attempted to defend
himself. and was completely at their
mercy.
1t was only as last resort, finding II

impossible to get help from the referee
and realizing that ii was do or be done,
that they began to retaliate. They had
all by then felt the fists Of their oppo-
ncnts. and simply had to start fighting
back in self-defence. 1t was lucky for
the sake of amateur sport that the con-
test was stopped when 1t was.
The game tonight was 10 settle the
question as TO which team would meet
the Missouri Athletic Club tomorrow
evening for the national water polo
championship. as the latter team is the
present holder of the title.
II was not decided what action would
be taken as to the final match, as the
game to- night was stopped before II was
finished, although the score was against
the New York team.

now proposes TO submit TO legislative
sanction is in all respects the same as

II is the scheme of a minimum wage,
