NORFOLK, VA, May 1o.-A vivid
story of what happened IN Vera Cruz

The Orion left Vera Cruz Friday A
week ago, the day after the soldiers
relieved the naval contingent of the
duty Of guarding the city, and is the
first navy vessel to return to Norfolk
from Mexican waters since the occu-
patton of the Mexican port,
Those who returned on the orion
said that while Vera Cruz Itself is now
quiet, the surrounding country is in
turmoil. but that the worst thing the
Americans will have to contend with
will be the weather. The rainy sea-
son is just beginning, and the heat is
already excessive. The memo wars
men said they thought the fleet would
remain at Vera Cruz for three or four
months at least. If not longer.
One OF the Incidents rected by the
returned seaffghters was the capture
by the American warsnips of sup

the harbor and paid no attention to

The situation a Tampico is C0nsid-

the Americans in that city had pro-
vided for such a contingency as was
now developing by terrifying two of
the strongest buildings in the city and
laying In a supply of arms and am
munition. The American residents Of
Tampico have planned TO assemble in
these strongholds in case of an out
break by the Mexicans.
That the rebels under villa and
Carranza, as we'll as the federais un-
der Huerta. will have to- be commended
with before the Mexican question is
finally settled was another opinion
expressed by the sailors. They de

residents of Vera Cruz freely predict

IRRATIONAL STYLES AND THE CONSERVATIVE WOMAN

~ WOULD like to talk 20 you and
h some Of the Cornerites about an
experience l had the other day II
was connected with a new skirt
that was too tight around the
bc:-om.
% Now 1 want Il to be understood in the
first place that am not a high-fier after
fashion, like dear Mrs. Boffin. and I
always try TO avoid extremes. But this
was plain little dark blue serge which
] bought ready made TO wear when 20
shopping and all that sort Of thing. had
had it itted at the shop. but I had never
tried to walk in il until this time am
talking about. It was one afternoon when
had to go downtown on business, in
something Of a hurry, SO l slipped into
my new one piece frock and started out.
Ely FIRST near rlishap was when tried
80 run for car. ! am quick in my mo-
tons, so when i saw my car coming /
started az rusil-which was immedis tely
stopped. My new skirt caught me about
my ankles like = cord and IL was only by
accident that didn't fall fat on my face.
For a minute / turned perfectly sick.
was in two minds to go back and change
my dress. but had only just about time
to keep my appointment. so went ahead.
OF course, | missed that car, but got on
the next one and by pulling up my skirt
almost TO my knees / managed TO climb
on the step. Getting out was less trouble
If ! were to tell you how many times
that afternoon 1 was scared stiff and sick
by the fear OF a fall I would fill all the
space in the Corner. never thought before
that 1 took long steps, but that afternoon
l felt as though l were in the habit of
walking in seven league boots. Now and
then l would forget that must toddle and
would try to step out, only to be brought
up-literally with a round turn.
On my way home 1 stopped at the shop
and told the woman who had fitted my
frock that she must send for it the next
day and open the skirt at the bottom and
put in a fan or plat or something to give
me more space. She assured me the skirt
was really much wider than many that are
sold. but told her that made no difference.
e The question I want to put to you and
the other Cornerites in this connection is
what you think of the present fashions
and what We people who don't wish to
follow them are going to do about 1t. 1t is
much cheaper and more convenient in
every way for me TO get some of my frocks
ready made. but they are all 50 extreme
that l hate to be seen in them. Yet there
don't seem to be any others. What ex-
perience have the rest Of you had and
how do you get along about ready made
clothes? 1t may not seem important per-
haps, but It means a lot Of bother and
worry to some of US. J. X. b.
The Washington herald., 1914-03-01

It's skirt or dress tell the saierwor,an
that will have something with a little full
ness to 1t or nothing at all II you are
really firm you can almost always ge.
something that Is not extreme. grant that
It is more trouble and that sometimes you
have to trot about from one shop to an
other. but in the end you generally find
what you want or something pretty near
it,
No Time 10 " Trot Around"
This is all very well. but some of Us
haven't the time to trot about and
others are not in places where there ara
many shops from which to have our choice
IL We are clever enough to make our own
clothing we can alter the patterns to suit
ourselves. But what are the rest Of US go
ing to do?
This is the point on which 1 would like
the. opinions of our Cornerites. In the first
place. 1t would be interesting to know how
they are Impressed by the fashions Of the
day. whether they think them pretty and
graceful or criticise them as extreme and
ugiy. or condemn them as inappropriate
and indecent 1 have heard all these ad-
jectives applied to them at times and I
dare say they all OF them it some Of the
examples beheld In public places. Some OF
these 1 have already referred to. the sEt
skirt, worn with no petticoat beneath. the
low cut frocks. the skin fitting gowns.
More than that. We might condemn a. al
together unsuited to our climate. even when
her hou haa In1u -
as we have known this last winter. low
shoes or pumps and thin silk stockings in
the depth Of winter. II that which Is not
harmonious IL not beautiful. then am
afraid we will have to declare patent leath-
er pumps and cobveb hose unlovely on a
biting February day. no matter how well
shaped the foot and ankle they reveal.
The next point on which information
would be welcome Is as to the experience
OF the women who have worn those gar
ments now in fashion Have they. like the
correspondent. been /" scared stiff by theI-
inability to move in the narrow skirts.
Have they learned TO walk like hens-the
way In which I heard the little trotting
walk so much affected at present described
the other day: Do you like gowns button
ing in the back and are you willing to put
UP with the inconvenience for the sake of
the fashion7
The third matter on which We might touch
in our symposium concerns the difficulty or
ease with which modified garments are
found. How many Of you succeed in in
ducing your dressmakers to cut your frocks
as you want them and not as she thinks
you ought TO have them? Can you flnd
ready made the kind Of clothes you are
willing to wear?
/ hope through this we may all be inter-
ested and assisted Although I am not q
writer OF fashions and never have been.
would like TO make one plea to the women
who are nearing or approaching middle age,
and that Is not TO strive to conform too
closely to fashions which are suitable for
young girls and not for their seniors I am
told there are no more old ladies now and IN
q way 1 am glad, for wish women would
keep their youth Of heart and mind and
body. But not OF dress. How do the resi-
Of you feel about it?

Horrible Luck" Mabing Bread.

II DO wish you would give me a recipe Gor

It is not the temperature which is wrong

MRS. J. ID. W.
