been successful in driving the rebels
back to their base of supplies at Ortiz.
Under practically prohibitiye condi-
uons French bankers have agreed TO
lend Huerta $50, 900. 900. according to
Juan Sanchez AscOna, secretary to the
late President Francisco |. Madero
VINO reached San Antonio Tuesday on
his return from France, where he en-
gagged himself in laying obstacles in
the way of Huerta's financial agents.
The flotation of the loan. said Az
coma, is contingent on two onerous
conditions: First, Huerta must make
peace within six months; if he does
SO, ne VIII receive half of the prom
ised sum. or $25,000,000. Second.
Huerta is not to attempt to borrow
money from any other nation. If both
conditions are fulfilled, according to
the contract detailed by Azcona, Huer-
Ia VIII receive the second half of the
loan three months after he has re-
ceived the first half.
Since Huerta has been deserted by
and De la Barra and is
surrounded by intrigues and disaf-
ections." declared Azcona. lit is hard

Practical Violet Holder.

An extremely simple and practical
rubber novelty comes in the shape OF
a bunch OF violets and Is designed for
the protection OF a gown when the
natural flowers are worn.
II is made of green rubberized silk,
the shade Of the violet leaves and is
outlined with a green wire. When
worn it effectually prevents the pene-
tration of any moisture to the gown.
The wire edge permits of shaping the
holder to the bouquet proper and the
latter is then attached to the corsage
or wherever else desired.

Cleaning Curtains.

Many housewives own curtains of
Arabian lace. They realize that a
great amount of their beauty is lost
after washing. The lovely ecru tint
has disappeared, and to recolor them
IS not always satisfactory.
These curtains can be dry cleaned
in the following manner:
Spread a sheet or two upon the floor
and lay the curtains carefully on them.
Mix two parts of boiled cornmeal
with one of salt.
With a clean brush rub this mix
ture thoroughly through the curtains.
Hang out of doors for couple OF
hours and the curtains will be sweet
and clean.
In this simple way, they may be fire.

lowed to settle in them for any length
