I67s7 One Piece Skirt with Yoke,
22 to AZ waist,

This yoke skirt that gives some-
thing of the suggestion Of a waistcoat
is one of the newest and smartest of
the season. The drapery gives the
bread hips and the yoke does away
with the need Of a girdle. 1t Is al
together most satisfactory skirt to
wear as we'll as an exceedingly smart
one. 1t Is made all in one piece so
there are no cores, and the front
edges are only overlapped and stitch
ed together. The checked material
is exceedingly smart and seems to suit
the model peculiarly we'll. but plain
materials also are effective made in
this way and both plain and fancy
linen and cotton fabrics can be SO
treated with success.
Fer the medium size will be re-
quired 4s-s yards Of material 81 in

OLD MIR. TOAD LEARNS A LESSON
(By Thornton w. Burgess.)
Copyright. 1914, by j. &. Lloyd.)

(Copyrlght, l9l4, Dy j. u. Lloyo.)
Pride is like a great big bubble:
You'll find there's nothing in It..
Prick it and for all your trouble
1t has vanished in a minute.
Old Mr.. Toad was SO puffed out
with pride as he started for the Green
Forest to dine with Buster Bear that
those who saw him wondered II he
| wouldn't burst. before he got there.
Everybody knew where he was go
ing, and this made Old Mr.. Toad feel
more important and proud than ever.
He might not have felt quite so
puffed up If he had known Just how
It had. come about that he received
this second invitation to dine with
Buster Bear. Jimmy Skunk had
brought it to him. but Jimmy didn't
tell him that Buster had been asked
to send the invitation and that 1t was
all part Of plan on the part Of some
of Old Mr.. Toads old friends and
neighbors to: teach him a lesson. No.
about that!
So Old Mr.. Toad went hopping
along and stumbling over his own feet
because his head was held 80 high
and he was SO puffed out that he
couldn't see where he was going. He
could think Of nothing but how i'm
portant Buster Bear must consider
him to invite him to dinner a. second
time. and of the delicious ants he was
sure he would have to eat.
What very good taste Buster Bear
has" thought he. land how very for
tunate it is that he found out that
also am fond of ants"
He was SO busy with these pleasant
thoughts of his own Importance and
the good dinner that he expected to
have that he took no notice Of what
was going on about him. He didn't
see his old friends and neighbors peep
ing out at him and laughing because
he looked 20 foolish and silly. He
was dressed in his very best. which
was nothing at all to be proud Of, for.
you know, Old Mr.. Toad has no fine
clothes. And beine puffed up so. he
was homelier than ever, which is say
Ing great deal, for at best Mr.. Toad
Is anything but handsome. It was
no wonder that he was laughed at.
He was beginning to get pretty
tired by the time he reached the
Green Forest and came In sight Of
the rotten. Old chestnut stump, where
he was to. meet Buster Bear. Buster
was waiting for him.
How dogyou do this fine day? You
look little tired and rather warm.
Mr.. Toad" said he. 10
II am aSlittle warm" replied Mr..
Toad. In his most polite manner. al

The proposed resolution is:
Whereas the General Federation Of

ent extreme tendency among Ameri-
can women to follow designs in dress,
regardless Of beauty, comfort or
modesty; and
Whereas these Objectionable de-

houses: and,
whereas this constant patronage
Of foreign designs and foreign ma

Resolved, That this convention, in
full recognition Of the rights ana
privileges Of the individual. places IT.
self on record as heartily in favor Of
the movement for simpler, more be-

Naval Men Interested.

Naval officers are profoundly inter-
ested in the result OF the appearance or
the Atlantic feet before Tampico. 1t Is
appreciated that the situation is din
cult and will be the more so IL the Next
can government persists in its refusal to
comply with the American demand. The
occupation Of Tampico, or even its re-
duction by fire from the battleshlps,
would be only an initial step. Some
thing more than that would have to be
done Huerta might still refuse. and the
experts sec In such situation nothing
but invasion of Mexico and war.
The service opinion Is that Admiral
Mayo's demand has made 1t necessary
for the administration to back II I'D at
all hazards and at whatever cost. There
has been some suggestion that Huerta
has forced the hand Of this country, be-
lieving that it would be powerless to
compel this compliance with the Ameri-
cen demand. and perhaps imagining that
out of the negotiations will come a rec
ignition of his administration and re-
sponsibility as the Mexican ruler. On
the other hand. here is a service opinion
that Huerta has adroitly brought about
the present situation In order to cover
his own retreat. or, possibly, to amalga-
mate the warning factions In Mexico
against a common enemy.

TAMPICO ONLY ONE OF
HUERTA'S MANY OFFENCES
Official Statement Adds That United States Seemed
to Have Been Singled Out for Manifesto
tons of Ill Will and Contempt

Washington, April 15.-The following
official statement was issued to-day as
representing the views Of President
Wilson and the administration:
I'm discussions in official circles In
Washington of the present Mexican
situation, the following points have
been very much dwelt upon:
1T has been pointed out that, In con-
sidering the present somewhat delicate
situation in Mexico. the unpleasant in
cident at Tampico must not be thought
of alone. For some time past the de
facto government Of Mexico has seemed
to think mere apologies sufficient wher
the rights Of American citizens or the
dignity Of the government OF the
United States were involved. and has
apparently made no attempt at either
reparation or the effective correction of
the serious derelictions OF its civil and
military officers.

Dor Of Vera Cruz who had been sent
ashore to the postoffice for the ships

had the official mail bag on his back,
was arrested and put into Jail by the
local authorities. He was subsequently
released and nominal punishment in
flicted upon the officer who had ar
rested him. but 1t was significant that
an orderly from the fleet of the United
States was picked out from the many
persons constantly going ashore an
various errands from the various ships
in the harbor representing several ma
tions.
Most serious of all, the officials in
charge Of the telegraph Office at Mex
leo City presumed to withhold an OFF,

United States to its embassy at Mexico
