Modes for Children

Fine crepes are being used for the
lingerie dresses of children in the Rus
sian tunic and empress styles. When
IN the Russian style the underskirt is
generally of plain white crepe, while
the tunic or smock is of white crepe
embroidered or printed in dainty
posies, and the long sleeves are of fine
batiste finished with narrow valen-
ciennes lace.
The simplicity of the empire style
permits the use of fancy crepes, un-
adorned, except for a narrow ribbon
that defines the high waistline.

TAFT TO PUT 1T
UP TO CONGRESS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.-President
Taft is preparing a special message to
congress, placing the question of inter
vention in Mexico squarely up to that
body, according to a high official of the
war department today.
This message, it is said, Will contain
startling disclosures of conditions south
OF the Rio Grande. Secretary Of State
Knox and his staff are assembling the
data for this part Of the message.
At the direction of President Taft,
secretary Knox today directed Am
bassador Wilson at Mexico City to
draw on the treasury of the United
States for as much money as he needed
TO house and feed all foreign refugees
in the City of Mexico
This action was taken following the
| receipt OF Ambassador Wilson's report
today showing that more than 500 for
eigners-about half Of them Americans
had sought refuge at the embassy.
Wilson said that he had rented Q
number Of houses in the vicinity Of the
embassy and had lodged the refugees
there
He also has appointed a committee
to minister to their needs and to dole
out ammunition to all the men and to
such of the women as know how 10 use
a gun.
The ambassa doris report contained
confirmation Of the death of Mrs II
W. Holmeg and Mrs. Percy Grlffiths,
