For the Ponqee Costume,

The ''naturalcolored" girl is again
with us, meaning the girl who goes in
for costume wholly in the shade of
manufactured linen or pongee. With
Ter tailored suit or frock of either
heavy linen or wash, she wears leath-
er pumps and isle hosiery of a match
ing hue, linen petticoat bordered
and banded with coarse unhleached
linen lace, suede belt with Iself-col-
ored buckle and an outing hat of raf-
fla or Panama draped with natural
colored Shantung scarf. Finally, in
one hand she carries sunshade of
Shantung and natural wood, and in
the other a handbag of rafiia. For
country wear this sort of costume is
exceedingly knowing-looking and 1t is
a decided relief in a neighborhood
where all-white or white and color get
ups prevail.

binations of two fabrics, which she
may model after.
Two examples are shown here of
models that are easy to make and
pleasing to look at. A changeable chif-
fon taffeta Gas brown, blue or green,
shot with black has an applique of
heavy ecru lace and pipings Of black
satin. Little buttons of black satin
and narrow girdle of the same add
a telling finish. For the touches of
black are most effective.
This model is designed for slender
figure and is made so that 1t may be
worn with a chemisette and collar OF
lace. There is small applique of
silk passementerie Of gold, black and
the color Of the gown.
The second model which has been
developed in bing's blue and white or
black and white. The little coatee
is of a plain foulard in the color of
the body of the gown, with cuffs to
match. Little oblong covered but
tons in the plain fabric and pipings
of the figured material make pretty
finish The tie is vivid green, but
black might be used instead. Lace
undersleeyes and a chemisette are
worn with this model and its straight
lines and plain skirt recommend it to
the stout figure.

! FRocKs FOR LITTLE GIRL
Simple Styles That Are Always In
Favor and That Would Be Un-
wise to Change.

In childrens frocks nowadays style
is quite as important as it is in re-
gard to grown-up garments. For a
long time there has been comparative.
ly little difference in the outline OF
clothes for young girls, grown girls
and their still girlish mothers, but per.
haps this is to no small extent due to
the fact that grown-up lines have been
simple enough for children to adopt.
No doubt if our dressmakers sue
coed In forcing upon us panniers and
draperies, general good taste will pre-
vent our defying little girls frocks to
match, and we shall leave them still
straight, slim and simple. Meantime
the coat and skirt of simple make
with plain front panel, large revers
and collar and the inevitable sprink
ling of buttons or a long Cossach
frock or a pleated skirt and Magyar
blouse are each regarded as in theil
proper place becoming to the school
girl or even to the smaller child.

About the most practical Of sum
mer gowns are those simple affairs
made of lightweight silks in colo-s
neither very dark nor very light.
Foulards, messalines, chiffons, taf-
fetas and the less expensive crepes
are mainly chosen for these, and their
success beside the beauty of the fab
rics) lies In good color combinations
and In design. The changeable taf-
fetas of the present season have in
spired designers to many pretty and
very effective new ideas. These de-
signers have had in mind all types of
figures; designing for the slim ones
gowns calculated to make them look
not too straight, and for the plump
ones lines tended to lengthen curves
and lend grace. Either style or any
style will look we'll on figure pos
sessed of the right proportions. That
is, one that is neither too thin or too
fat.
Another advantage of these unpre-
tentious silk gowns is that two silks
are so often combined in making
them that short lengths may be
used. And for the clever and econom
ical lady who would evolve new
gown out of two old ones any number
of good designs are offered in com

GIRL HURT IN FLIGHT
TRIES TO ESCAPE FROM POLICE

Chicago.-An improvised rope of bed
sheets torn into strips was used in
thrilling attempt by Margaret Siebert,
sixteen years old, to escape from the
wcfnan's annex on the third floor OF
The South Clark street police station
1t a. m. the other day. Lowering
herself from a window the girl slid
quickly to the end of the rope, and
hen dropped Is feet to the pavement.
Her right knee was dislocated and her
right arm was fractured in the fail.
Her scream of agony attracted de-
,ectives In the station, who carried
her back into the station. She was
aiken to the county hospital,
The Siebert girl lives at 1888 Aber-
deem street and was to have been
taken TO the state home for girls at
Geneva, Ill. To girl companions she
mad confided her determjn alton to es-
cape being taken to the Geneva insti-
tuition by some means, but they had
paid little attention to her
The daring escape was planned by
the girl while other inmates of the
annex with one exception were asleep.
That one was little Clifton Nelson,
seven years old, who between tears
was trying to tell Mrs. Mary Murray,
the matron, how sorry he was for run
ming away from home.
Without attracting the attention of
the matron. the girl quietly tore her
bed sheets into strips and then knot
ted them tightly She dressed herself
hui~iedly and then crept softly to the
South Clark street side OF the build
Ing. She entered a room next to that
Of the Office of the matron. There she
fastened the improvised rope to ra-
iiator and then threw open the win
low
The rope was short, reaching only
to- the second floor but Margaret did
not hesitate. She swung quickly onto
the rope and started downward AT
the end of the rope she swung for a
minute and then let go. Her subse-
luent scream of pain as she fell
brought three policemen. who found
her writhing on the pavement.
They were Desk Sergeant John
O'Connor and Patrolmen Joseph
O'Donnell and Daniel Kearney. In
spite of her fractured arm and SEEM
ngly helpless condition, the young
prisoner tried to struggle with them.
Those in the matron's department
did not become aware of the girls
hazardous plunge and escape until in
formed some time later by Desk Ser
geant O'Connor. The windows in the
natron's department are not barred.
II was tired of the old place and |
lust wanted to get out of there to
show them that they could not keep
me locked up like a criminal" the girl
said while she was In the ambulance
IN the way to the hospital.

PRINCE KATSURA OF JAPAN VISITS CAR

The present visit to Russia of the
Japanese statesman, Prince Katsura,
is momentous development toward
completing the final details of the
defensive alliance pact between Rus
STA and Japan
The actual agreement between the
former enemies was concluded same
time ago and probably will be signed
soon.
The agreement consists of two
parts, one dealing with the delimita-
ton of the spheres of influence of
Russia and Japan in Mongolia and
Manchuria, which is similar In scope
and character to the Anglo-Russian
accord of August 81, 1907, regarding
Persia. The second part deals with
the duty of the two nations for
joint defense in case either power is
attacked
The Russo-Japanese agreement of
July 4, 1910, providing for the main
tenance jointly of the status quo in
Manchuria, was direct result of the
Inflated naturalization scheme for the
Manchurian railroads, and the pres
ent one was the outcome of long

BHAvSINHJ, MAHARAJAH OF BHAvNAGAR

The publication of the history OF
the Rajkumar college of Kathiawar In
western India has drawn into promf
nent notice the movement for the ed
ucation of the chiefs and princes OF
India which was commenced half-a-
century ago on the model of the
English public schools. The work,
which has been sumptuously got up,
gives complete record OF the
growth of the movement up to date
and serves as book of reference
both with regard to the daily work
carried on in that seminary and the
two generation of youths who have
passed through its portals. In this
way it amply testifies to the success
which has been achieved by the insti-
tuition since its foundation, of which
many of the reigning chiefs of west
ern India themselves furnish living
examples.
AS rule the present generation OF
these princes may be regarded as
notable improvement upon their pre-.
decessors of half-a-century back for
although 1t may not be possible by
the methods Of western education to
inculcate In them higher degree of

GARIBALDI SALOON IS
 TEMPORARY CLOSED

Little Rock, March 21.-For the first time in over a quarter of a cen- tury, the Garibaldi saloon is closed. This saloon has been long considered the third house of the legislature, and Old Lady Baxter, the cannon on the old state house graunds, guards the front entrance of the thirst empe- rum. Until the seat of government was moved to the new capitol, the Garibaldi saloon was the scene of more political and legislative caucuses than the state house itself.
 The closing of the saloon is only temporarily, due to fire in the rear of the building, which came near de- stroying the Fulk building, itself as notorious in Arkansas politics as the saloon.
