Is of white plush covering it and gathered
about the crown, the rolling brim edge
deeply overbound with mole fur Black and
white ornaments, one made of feathers,
one of the usual aigrette, are placed at
the back. Also trimmed at the back
with paradise ornament is a sort of jockey
casque of the shiny beaver used in n
mans hat. This includes the new touch
of having a looped bow of satin both at
the back and the front.
Of the same size, but on more con.
ventional lines, is a small black plush hat,
with rolled brim, covered with pleated
panne velvet. This velvet also makes the
folded band around the crown. The, black
aigrette is thrust at the back of the hat
diagonally.
Two other hats have this trimming at
the back. but in the new elongated ten
dency. One is of black velvet, draped
into small crown, edged about the face
with an ostrich plume curled so the fronds
meet in the centre and elongated in the
back by two ostrich tips. The other is
a small rolling hat of black velvet, having
a wide band of skunk fur about the edge,
and trimmed at the sides and back with a
soft draping of velvet also fur edged
In an evening cap of black tulle the
crown is entirely pleated about with mar
row double folds. About the edge is a
fanciful bandeau of jet. The paradise
ornament is posed in front.
The mantalet is a new wrap, even
shorter than the three-quarter coat, for
daytime wear-a short, loose affair of fur
bordered with dolman-Iike sleeves and
made Of the same material as the
dress, "gros" blue velvet, and edged with
skunk fur. The velvet of the gown is
draped on the skirt; the waist mounts in
apron fashion above the belt only in front,
over the other material of gold and red
brocade, making a striking and lovely
contrast. This brocade also forms a good
part Of the back of the skirt, covered, of
course, by the mantalet. Fur edges the
unevenly hung draped skirt edge. The
small velvet hat has paradise fountain
ornament in front, posed on the brim.

Isign that it is not the right height, even
though a brassiere is worn with it. On
the other hand, every corset is long below
the waist, some so long as to be skirtlike.
Of course, the inset supports of whale
bone or other sustaining fabrication do not
descend much below the hips, but they
are not needed below, the material hold
ing the surplus flesh firmly in place.
To-day stout woman need not be i'm
prisoned in heavy coutil, as ythe strong
open mesh tricot weave may be used and
is much more hygienic than that closely
woven material. Besides. most of il laun-
ders, and corset can be kept in good con-
dition.
There are those, however, who like the
prettiness of the pale pink and blue ba-
! tiste corsets or the white ones embroid-
cred with little colored flower or feur
de lis. In these corsets, to get elasticity
in certain parts, matching silk elastic
webbing is inserted to give ease to the
wearer, and sometimes a band is placed
inside in front to give extra support to
the abdomen.
The brassieres are made to match the
corsets or of eyelet worked linen, and
have seams stayed by tubular bias bands
into which little supports may be in
serted, removable for laundering. Those
to wear with low necked gown are on
quite different lines from those for day
time wear, in some cases being attached
to the corset TOP and not over the Shout
ders.
1t goes without saying that these cor
sets cost more than the ordinary ready
made kind, but, fitting the figure, they
last much longer, and therefore are not
more expensive in the end The ex-
pense is more in the time taken to find
the right corset for the figure, as num-
Der of shops must be visited in order to
make comparisons. II is necessary also
to get used to the new silhoutte with the
underlined waist line and the symmetrical
but unaccentuated curve that gives the
fashionable figure of to-day. The latest
corset designs show a slight variation
from the straight front. pinched in a little
below the bust, curvipg outward slishtly

MAN BRAVES
DEATH FOR A STORY

tragedy searching for new evidence

QUA YMAS IN HANDS
OF THE FEDERALS

EERMOSILO, Mexico, Dec, 5-The
expected evacuation by the federals of
Guaymas, west coast seaport appeared
today 10 have failed TO materialize. 1t
was reported that the federals had re-
occupied Empalmo, a suburb OF the city,
and the movement puzzled inSurgent
comma nders somewhat.
These insurgents are inclined to believe
the evacuation of the suburbs and ap-
parent preparations for departure were
a ruse to entce them into the town. II
is also though possible the orders to
abandon Guayrnas were withdrawn at the
last moment.
There appears to be no disposition to
renew the siege Of Guaymas. although
It's capture would assist military move
ments along the west coast greatly and
renew commercial activity In Sonora
and Sinaloa.
Work was begun today on a spur rail-
road around Guaymas and the suburb
of Empalme. When this ten miles Of

were approaching Palomas, on tho bor'
der opposite Columbus, n. NJ. With
them were said TO be General Jose Sal
szar and Pascual Orozco, both Of whom
are under indictment In tho United
States for violation Of the neutrality

Another reason why Villa returned
northward to Villa Ahumada was TO
communicate with General Carranza

is in Sonora.
Pleased at his victories in the north
and confident that his projected march
toward Mexico City viii be marked by
desertion or evacuation by the
federals, General Villa himself showed
no haste TO enter Chihuahua, the largest
city now held by the rebels. Some Of
his troops, commanded by General
Chao, went into the city several days
ago for police duty.
