Beautiful Coats:
POWi-Like Hats:
Narrow Skirts
Chas. Gales, Just From New York
Tells of New Beauties for Eternal
Feminine

Chas. Gales, of Gales and Schild-
knecht, has come back from New
York primed with fashion notes, and
in an interview with the Gazette he
discussed few of them for the sake
of the feminity Of Redwood Falls.
"Skirts will be narrower than ever
and slashed SO you can just hobble'
was the first word. Mr.. Gales de-
clares New York automobiles are be-
ing made so they, barely escape the
ground; all this to accommodate WON
ems skirts and-'nuff said.
The popular shade is Nell rose,
named for the new presidents daught-
err, and particularly bright and beauti-
full. This will be used wherever poss-
ible.
But it is coats the same Charles
fairly raves about, especially if made
of Bulgarian silk, which he declares is
replica of the old Bohemian silk
and is bright and beautiful both in
color and design.
The new coat is short-three-quar-
tiers in length or even shorter, and
must be made in cut-a-way style, rath-
er elaborate and the material used will
be ratines, bedford cords, matlace
which is like ratine with a design OF
plain fabric, or epongee, which is the
newest of them all.
These coats are lined with Persian
or Bulgarian or brocaded silks and
satins and one can quite understand
even a mere mans infatuation. Also
the shops are showing nifty coats in
hunters red trimmed with white, and
short white coats in the Norfolk style
which will be worn with white skirts.
Our old friend, black-and-white check
is also back in favor and aren't we
glad!
Hats are mere bowls screwed down
on ones head with "stick-up" fore or
aft or sideways-just wherever it
comes handy.
And the comfortable low collars will
be worn, and neck-wear is still pointed
bits of fiufiness with color introduced
by tiny bows or flowers. Altogether
it's going to be beautiful summer,
according to Mr.. Gales, and he's the
one who knows.

THE LAW OF THE FUGITIVE

Mexican ways are distinctly not our
ways at all. More or less sympathy
has been expressed here for Gustavo
Madero, who was shot down under the
law of the fugitive" after he had
been arrested in Mexico City. The
Mexicans temporarily resident here
until the pot stops steaming further
south philosophically observe that
Gustavo got the dish he had cooked
for others.
"Gustavo tried to put an end to Fe-
lix Diaz in the same way" said one
man. 81 have visited Felix in the
prison of Belen, and he told me his
story. Under the Mexican law the
guard is made absolutely liable for the
safety of his prisoner. As protection
for the guard therefore he is given
the right to shoot the prisoner if he
tries to escape. Felix was confined in
a two-room cell in Belen. The outer
room was a sitting room, and he had
his bed and writing table in the inner
room.

proved the better of the two winning
by small margin. During the inter
mission between contest and debate
the teachers had prepared short pro-

WASHINGTON, April 16.-If any

to 90 out and see Il Of the cavalry
drills at Fort Meyer.
About half an hour of that glittering,
iangling MOOT beating dare devilism is
guaranteed to instill the feeling into the
coolest human iceberg. 1t is the lure
of soldiery, that swings, and climbs, and
jumps, in a mad vortex Of horses.
The drills are weekly events and are
popuar as society affairs, although the
neck-riSking fcats are done by the enlisted
men who appear OH the program merely
as company 50 and SO" under command
Of Lieutenant of Captain Somebody. The
riding hall is about 500 feet long and
200 feet wide, and Zach drill is generally
participated in by about fifty men.
A few days ago President Wilson saw
his first drill at the fort, and a program
of unusual merit was given. That means
everybody took an extra chance. COssack
riding was the central number on this
program, in which twenty-five young
troopers on Saddlcicss horses did almost
IMPOSSIBLE feats. standing on running
nOres which lcaped five foot hurdles and
performing other fcats which were as
much circus stunts as cavalry exploits.
The troopers made their chargers jump
over Il mess table, set with china and
urrounded by soldiers apparently at din
ner. Others made their mounts leap over
a handkerchief stretched between two
men. This was to show The accuracy of
the riders guiding and the perfect obcd-
fence of the horses to the rein. Other
less difficult but more BEAUTIFUL manoeu-
vrcs were the tandem events, where sol
Tiers standing Dn me horse and driving
another would execute similar feats.

The things the madcap cavalrymen do
would make the circus performer turn

when elegantly dressed men and women
sit and applaud, but also when an I'M
sympathetic riding master urges them
on without any audience" at all. It's all
very fine and very thrilling, and with
the band playing and the horses weav-
ing in and ont in dizzy evolutions. while
the riders turn fiplops and otherwise
throw the def at Fate, it's a sad human
who isn't inspired to yell "IIooray for
he U. s. A."
