The COUTURE.

The Style Of the Seasons Hats Do.
mands Due Attention to II.
1t has been some years since women
gave the public glimpse Of their locks
In the streets. But this season one
often sees the entire line OF growth.
The change is in the back Of the hat.
It no longer rests on the neck. 1t tits
up rakishly, or the crown is so small
that the sweep of the hair shows from
ear to ear.
So it is we'll to look to your couture.
1t must be lifted in the back and
drawn away little from the forehead,
and. though the ears are not yet en-
drely uncovered. there Is a tendency to
tighten the locks over them.
The tangette curl is not becoming to
every woman. so beware of it, unless
you can make it an accessory t.
beauty. 1t can age the face and lend
commences to the features, but on
the other hand if it suits you, it is
artistic and coquettish.
OF course you know you can buy
these little side curls and pin them in,
or you can cut lock of your own hair,
wet it and press it round into ring
let, then fasten it to the cheek with a
drop Of spirit gum.
All the new coiffures are close to the
head. Sometimes the hair is simply
swirled round with comb set up and
down In the back.

70 Be music IN THE AIR"
Band Tournament Planned AZ New
Feature Al North Dakota
Chautauqua.

Devils Lake.-There'u be music IN
The air" during the 1914 assembly Of
ehs North Dakota Chautauqua, July 4
10 II. Not that there hasn't always
been the fine music for patrons Of
North Dakota's famous recreation and
educational center, but something out
Of the ordinary is to be offered this
summer.
Secretary Edward w. Gilbertson Is
completing arrangements for a band
tournament for which a purse of $500
In gold will be offered the winners.
10 this tournament every band in the
state will be invited, and from the in
terest that has already been displayed
there is evidence large number will
accept.
While the rules for the contest have
not been formulated, it is quite likely
that the general appearance on parade
will be considered as well as the abl-
aty of the organization to bring forth
applause. Some musical critic from
the twin cities will be invited to act
as Judge. The Devils Lake band will
be barred from competition.
It has been suggested that barges
be supplied for the visiting bands and
that they be stationed at various
points on the lake as one feature OF
the days program. An effort will also
be made to have at least two selec-
tons played by the entire musical as-
gregation, numbering, it is likely, be-
tween 300 and 400 pieces.

Of Mexican People Said to Be
Turning Against Him.

Vera Cruz. May 5.-Persistent re-,
ports continue to circulate here that
General Huerta intends to retire from
the provisional presidency Of Mexico
on condition that he be assured a safe
conduct to port and placed on board
q foreign warship.
Ready a Week Ago.
1t Is declared in some Mexican cir.
cles In this city that General Huerta
was ready to resign week abo, but
was prevented from doing so by in;
ternal dissensions in his cabinet,
Inc disappearance from the Next,
can cabinet of Jose Lopez Portillo y
Ro]as, the foreign minister, coupled
with reports that there is a growing
undercurrent Of feeling in Mexico
City against the Huerta government.
IS Interpreted here as foreshadowing
change in the situation in the Fed.
eral capital
Way May Be Cleared.
Some OF the closest observers of
the governments situation express an
inclination to the view that Senior
Portlllo's resignation may clear the
way eventually for the appointment
OF foreign minister who, under the
Mexican constitution, could succeed
General Huerta as president. In
these circles it is pointed out that
while Venustiano Carranza declined to
treat with General Huerta he might
consent to enter into negotiations with
MS successor and thus facilitate me-
diation.
The effect Of the continued Rebel
successes in the north and the out.
come OF the pending attack on Tam.
plco may, according to we'll informed
opinion. bring about a rapid change
In Mexico City.
Populace Beginning to Learn.
While the Federal capital is report.
ed quiet, people who arrive here from
the seat of government declare that
the populace there are BEGINNING to
learn that General Huerta has been
dece1ving the people all the time by
Issuing false reports Of Federal sue
cesses over the Constitutionalists.
The news of the peaceful wav in
which the Americans are occupying
Vera Cruz, it is said, has spread to
the capital and has convinced Mexi-
cans that the American invasion of
the port is not for conquest or aggres.
sion. Refugees declare the inhabi.
tants of the capital fear the coming
there of Francisco Villa more than
that of the American troops.
