Wilson Will AmpIhy
Message, Is Report

President Wilson Is expected to re-

weekend visit to the Summer Capt.

II Is thought probable that on his
return the the President will make
public a statement explaining in detail
his warning to Americans to leave
Mexico. and seek to answer the criti-
cism of the State Department for fall
ure to provide facilities for transporta-
ton, which the Presidents warning
made necessary.
Although few complaints are said to
have reached the State Department
direct. many of the refugees are said
to have found fault with the fact that
they have been crowded into the steer
age of merchant vessels.
While the President has spent some
Of his brief vacation period at golf and
automobiling. he has also given much

Mexican situation and other problems.

Certain Parcel Post

A wider scope for the parcel post as an
antidote for the high cost of living was
urged by Representative David J. Lewis
ir an address before 1000 members OF

tion at Benning last night. Mr.. Lewis
declared that laboring men are receiving
a better wage today than ever before.

FITCH fur, and especially light Fitch,
/ is so much liked that it is getting
very scarce. 1t is used as a trimming
in collars and cuffs; as a border on
velvet or plush muffs and in small
1eckpieces, more frequently than in
regular sets. 1t is very soft and its
coloring is especially effective with
coats made of velvet or satin and vel
vet brocade.
Those who can indulge themselves
in expensive novelties in fur sets may
consider the very handsome scarf and
muff of Fitch shown in the picture.
The scarf is a new design, terminating
where it fastens at the neck in three
skins which provide a splendid pro-
lection for the throat. A single skin
ancircles the neck and another falls
over the shoulder and down the back.
A big, soft bow of Lyons velvet pro-
vides a new and extremely smart
touch where the scarf is fastened over
The shoulder. The broad expanse of
light yellow at the front of the scarf
needs this touch of black in addition
% the stripe and scattered touches of
olack in the fur itself.
The longer hairs in Fitch are sparse
and black-tipped and they veil the

Bags of Silk and Beads.

A new sort Of handbag is shown for
use with street suits. 1t is made
of silk and beads, and at first sight
seems too fragile for street wear But
it proves to be useful and durable, as
well as very attractive.
These bags are made in several
shapes, but all are small and the col
ors are generally in neutral tones.
One bag of gray is six-sided, each
panel or side ending in point. The
six points are Joined to form the tip
of the bag. Another bag of soft, dull
yellow is four-sided, and the four sides
are cut diagonally at the bottom and
mitered together. Still other bags
have three or two sides.
All of them have chain handles of
gold or silver beads, and are decorated
with a two-inch band of the beads ap-
piled about half way from the top to
the bottom. Below this band hangs a
two or three inch fringe of beads, gold
and silver used together.

Pretty Lamps.

Among the many electric lamps this
season there are none prettier and
more effective than those made OF
wood, whether in extremely simple de-
signs or hand-carved with artistic pat
terms. For the room furnished in old
mahogany there comes lamp on col
onial lines in perfect keeping with the
other furnishings. These lamps are
fitted with globe quite like those on
the candle lamps of long ago.
Other standards are of wood stained
in the rich greens and browns, and
others are painted white and onameled
so that they resemble ivory or por-
celain. With a shade of just the cor.
rect size and style to bring out the
lines of the standard, one has a lamp
that is thoroughly practical and sat
isfying to the esthetic sense.
The Colorado statesman., 1913-12-06

lighc pody of the fur beautifully.
The muff is gathered in at the ends,
with the skins running lengthwise.
The opening for the hands is small
and finished with plating of cream
colored net under a ruffie of black
chiffon. This finish is especially
clever, repeating the yelled effect of
the fur.
This set could hardly be improved
upon in design. First of all it looks
and is luxuriously comfortable. The
coloring is exquisite and the arrange
ment of the skins is novel,
A pretty turban of broadtail is worn
with the set. It's trimming carries out
the idea of yelling a light background
with diaphanous black. The tall stand.
ing ostrich plums, like the light Fitch
in color, is mounted with a spray of
black paradise feathers in front of it.
Broadtail in the turban shows how ef-
fectively two entirely dissimilar furs
may be worn together in the same
costume.
The tailored costume with which
three handsome accessories were
worn, is of black broadcloth finished
with plain bands of velvet.

bon or fabric, and tackled to the base
of the loops and near the bottom OF
the hanging end.
BY allowing extra length to the gir
die, the waist line may be managed in
several ways. The middle front may
be brought up to the bust, or the gir
die may disappear under the drapery
of the waist at one side and reappeaI
at the back. In fact, the girdle is sim
ply to be managed as length of rib
bon to be used in decorating the
bodice without regard to it's encircling
the waist. By keeping this in mind
one may achieve a fashionable effect
and vary the mounting of the sash
any number of times.

GIRDLE AND SASH

tUST why the innocent girdle and
j sash made of wide velvet ribbon
should be called "the tango" remains
to be discovered. But the name will
not hurt it any. Its uses are about as
varied as the steps of the popular

The velvet ribbon girdle-also made

A fiat folded band is placed at the

ready to add finishing touch to al
most any gown. When more elabora-
ton is needed. it is decorated with
