somest costumes are marvelously SIM
pie In their beautiful lines. On the
Avenue today was met a rail-. svelts
woman wearing a suit Of Ottoman in
the red which is deep and dark and
rich. The skirt was perfectly plain
save that it was drawn up at the frcnt
to form folds Over it was a cutaway
tunic, short at the front and extendin;
TO the knees at the back and the coat
was scarcely more than a bolero at ths
front yet finished with second tunic
at the back and both these tunics were
full over the hips in godet style. The
only trimming was a small collar Of
ermine fur and there was carried 4
big ermine muff while the hat was
black velvet with white uncuried
plumes- At a hotel tea the same
afternoon was to be seen a gown Of
black velvet with skunk fur. The skirt
in this instance was draped somewhat
IN pannier style with edges Of fuI and
the bodice was cut to form a blouse
at the back. an open bolero at the
front with, a high Medii collar that
made a frame for the face. There was
a deep girdle held by two large jet
buttons and chemisette which was
Of soft folded tuTle. The hat was
closely fitting turban with a crown
draped to form an extremely deep
point at the front and the muff OF
skunk was huge and soft. The two
costumes make good examples of what
is latest newest and best.
Velvet and soft silks are extremely

Bandits Reported to Be Pil- laging in Oil Fiela of
 Mexico.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Trouble has broken out afresh in the oil re- gicns of Tampico, Mexico, where vast possessions of the Netherlands, Great Britain and Germany are located.
 The news today to the state de- partment from Vice Consul Bevins at Tampico locates the trouble at Panuco, which is up the river from Tampico. It is indicated that the dls- turbances there are caused by bandits and other marauders.
 The state department has no con- firmation of the report that the forces of Carranza have gone over to Gen eradl Villa, and that Tampico will pe occupied without opposition. It is pointed out that if this new disorder in the oil region continues it will be necessary for the United to either take steps to look after the interests of the Netherlands, Great Britain ana Germanay or to allow foreign cruis- CTS to go into Tampico and protect the property of thei rcountrles.
 The United States has at Tampico the oattleship Rhode lslanad and this ship it is understood, has been held tbeye at the request of Holland. The state department announced todxy it had no news from General Villa or the convention. Paul CanoVa one os Mfr.
