Portions of my arms and limbs were

small dots and gradually grew larger

the size of an ordinary match-head,
The looks Of it was horrible, which
made it very unpleasant for me. 1t
itched little at times.

Juarez, Mex, Dec. 6.-Instead of
occupying Chihuahua, the state capt.
tai. General Francisco Villa. with his
1000 rebels, encamped along the rail
road north of the city today returned
hurriedly to Villa Ahumada, the. tele-
graph station, TO dispatch more men
in pursuit of the federals retreating
toward Ojinaga, on the. border
A garrison of 500 rebels occupies the
fort at Ojinaga and General Villa sa d
his soldiers would not permit the fed
erals to reach the border or cross into
the United States without a fight. His
purpose is not only to capture the
federal troops, but also to seize their
arms and equipment With the 1000
or more fugitive federals are General
Salvador Mercado, the deposed mill
tary governor and commander, num-
erous other generals and officers and
members of wealthy Chihuahua fam
lilies who left the city precipitately
on foot in fear of a rebel attack.
General Villa expressed his inten-
lions to confiscate the money which
the fugitives we're authorized to have
withdrawn from the banks before the
evacuation. He said he would pro
tect the non-combatants, except such
as were considered political offend
ers.

Washington, Dec. 6-Guarded inqui-
ries are being made at the state de-
partment by representatives of some
of the European governments as 10
the prospect of an early termination
of the present conditions in Mexico,
which are imposing grievous burdens
upon foreign interests
There Is no evidence thai these in
quiries have had any effect upon the
development of the administrations
policy in regard to Mexico. There Is
much unofficial talk, however, of a
probable early recognition of the fact
that the Constitutionalists are in pos
session of more than half of the coun-
try.
Administration officials here are
looking for some important develop
ments as a result of the extraordinary
successful campaign of the Constitu-
tionalists and every precaution is be-
ing taken to make certain the protec-
ton OF foreign lives and property at
the scene of trouble
The navy has a elect of ten war
ships on the eastern coast of Texas.
On the west coast twice as extern
sive and almost no means of comnu-
nication by rail however, the Ameri-
cans naval force is much below the
needs of the situation. Today it was
acknowledged that two gunboast, the
Yorktown at San Francisco, and the
Raleigh at Bremerton, were sailing for
Mexican waters.
Secretary Bryan today took occasion
to make an emphatic den al Of a re-
port emanating from the Mexican cap
ital that Queen Wilhelmina Of Hol-
land, had undertaken to intervene to
bring about the withdrawal of Gen
eral Huerta and the declaration of
peace.
The secretary intlmated that the
United States is stu beng permitted
by the powers to deal with the Next
can power without interference, al
though as a matter of courtesy they
are kept informed of all changes in
the situation.

Dean Curtiss. "and 1t is doing it at a

DR.. Jones took the education Of the

gave them all the time possible, and
mingled his plain language teaching
with several highly polished courses
in ethics, philosophy, philology, apollo

of St. Mark for some of the great
social teachings there, and gave the
three Chinese students a lecture that

He Found Out What the Yellow Flag Was For

1T IS notorious that street railway
i companies in Washington, as in 9TH

TWO CLEVER FRENCH TRICKS
How Partisan Woman Makes Her
Homemade Gown Look Like
High-Priced Model

Here are one or two clever little
tricks by means of which a French
woman accompIishes the chic" of the
famous artist and makes her home
made gown look like the work of the
world-famous house instead of her own
nimble fingers. In looking at a Pa
quin, DOucet or Poiret model, a French
woman does not try to copy the en-
tire gown. IN fact, she steers clear of
intricate draperies and folds She no
tees the sleeve, the cut of the neck,
whether high or low, V-neck or square;
whether the waist bIouses at the
girdle or is drawn in snugly; whether
the fuIIness is gathered in the center
of the front or back, or whether it is
pushed to the sides, leaving the cen
ter plain Then she remembers if the
skirt be gathered or gored into the
belt, if 1t appears narrower at the foot
than the knees. and If this effect be
accomplished b. inverted plaits. held
in at the foot by buttons or stitches.
or if il be cut and gored narrower All
these details are easily observed if
one has them in mind, and they are
the important items that make or mar
the style of a gown.
The bead work that is being used so
much on the important gowns may be
copied by the home dressmaker if she
will just study the kinds of beads that
are used on these gowns and buy that
kind String the beads on q double
thread and sew them onto the gown by
taking a stitch between each two
beads with another thread Do not
try to string and sew the beads with
the same needle and thread, or the
work Will look very amateurish-

a design on chiffon and outline it in

TWO weeks ago attention was called

dow sill of a fine old house on H
street. Attention was called is not
a happy phrase, because nearly every
body who passes along that part of
H street knows the duck.
In the previous story it was said
that: perhaps the family living in
the house will be able to explain it,
and perhaps not, but the writer did
not care to pursue the inquiry further
than to make the necessary observa-

The story of the duck is well told
