The Huerta governments rejection of
the suggestions made by the United States
for a peaceful solution of the Mexican
revolution reached Washington late to-
day. President Wilson, Secretary Bryan
and Counsellor John Bassctt Moore Of the
state department discussed for nearly two
hours the dispatches of John Lind. per
sonal representative of President Wilson
in Mexico. describing the attitude of the
Huerta officials.
The President and his advisers were
plainly disappointed, but announced that
the government would have nothing To
say tonight Instead the American com
munication appealing for a suspension OF
hostilities and n constitutional election
together with the emphatic statement
that under no circumstances would the
United States recognize the Huerta
regime because it was set up by irregular
force instead of constitutional order, will
be made public tomorrow.
In all likelihood to-days events mean
the end of any dealings with the Huerta
officials. Though there was much talk in
official circles of lifting the embargo on
arms and permitting the constitutionalists
to get munitions of war with which they
claim they soon can overthrow the
Huerta administration, it is likely that
such policy will be carefully considered
in the Senate before any action is taken.
The position taken by administration
officials tonight was that the United
States had done all that a friendly neigh
Dor could do without actually using force.
They pointed out that from the beginning

Intervention or a war, they said, and no

one OF the most perplexing of ques-

Jewels to wear and just how TO wear

opinion regarding the wearing of GER

because, they argue, they are able to
obtain pretty things at a low cost;
the danger of robbery is not ever
present, and few people can really
tell the difference between modern
limitations and the real. But women
should be careful in selecting be-
coming ornaments in the jewelry line.
This requires training, for the Jewels
must be becoming both to the wearer
ana the gown worn.
AS Il rule the owner Of imitation
jewels is likely TO put on too many Of
them at once. Beads and long

one, should never be worn together.

Coral Is special favorite at the
present time. and it will probably be
much worn throughout the winter. All
colors of the beautiful coral are Sc

at night, as the pink gives the skin
a sallow tone, very unattractive, and

In case the gowns are white, jewels
should be Of sufficient contrast to ex-
press some character. Diamonds can
always be becomingly worn with

whether the stiff lines of the tailored

evening gown-must conform with the
placing of the Jewels and govern the
selection of the setting. 1t is good
plan to have simple ornaments and
have them appropriate. Gold looks
especially well with silks In dark tones
and it is also good with white gowns
Clouded amber Is also good with
