Summer Frocks OF Quaint oaslsr

Better Baby contest
Summer Frocks OF Quaint 0ssigr.
Skirts continue to be a plcun-
nent feature of new fashions. partly
because there is always a demand
for something new, and partly ne
cause the arbiters OF dress are war
ring among themselves as to wheth-
er full or narrow effects shall lead.
Each creator has her OF his own
idea of how the fullness should be
reintroduced into the skirt hens,
and there's the controversy. 1t n
interesting TO note how the results
are obtained. Some dressmakers
employ flounced skirts that are
! charming for summery materials
of gcssamer laCes and flouncings.
When the frock is of taffeta, the
overskirt tunic is caught up into
hustle puffs to disclose filmy drop
skirt of one, two, three or four
flounces that cling about the feet
except when the wearer dances or
walks, and then they fly out pret-
tily.
During the last season contourier-
es have been facing one great diff
ficulty. The incongruity between
long dance steps and thirty-siX-inch
circumference skirts, resulted in
many frayed tempers and hens.
The newest skirts are merely drap-
ed, two side slips going up TO the
hips permits any movement ana by

artistic undeskirts
The general scheme in all the
new gowns is for comfort. Poiret

to fit the figure. Everything is
loose, baggy, dropping, Such

Huerta's Representatives
Coming Free to Act at
Peace Conference.
LUNCHEON FOR
MEXICANS PLANNED
Spanish Ambassador Hopes to
Entertain Them in Washing
ton on Saturday.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, May f3.-In the fact
that the Mexican delegates to the me-
diation conference. to be held at Mag
ara Falls, Canada. have been clothed
with plenary powers, the B c medi-
ators see reason for optimism regard
ing the outcome of their efforts to effect
a settlement of Mexico's difficulties.
Huerta has clothed his delegates with
plenary powers to accept any PROPOSE
ton submitted by the mediators which
they may regard as Just and reasonable.
This, OF course. removes the necessity
Of consulting the Huerta administra-
ticp. and leaves the delegates free TO
take any step or accept any plan their
judgment may dictate.
The delegates for the United states
have no such power, but IT Is known
that President Wilson is extremely
anxious that peace may come out OF the
negotiations at Niagara Falls and that
he will be strongly disposed to accept
anv reasonable and just plan, irrespec-
tive of the views OF the Secretary or
State.
eryan's Protests Ignored.
Indeed. It may be said. in strict con-
edence. that in choosing the American
delegates the President ignored the en-
phatic protests Of Secretary Bryan. who
decIsred that Frederick W. Lehman
uas pecul,arly untitled for the position
and who protested against the selection
Of Justice Lamar. Nor is the President
ons-half so insistent that villa should
succeed Huerta as is Secretary Bryan.
The nomination Of II. Percival Dodge
an secretary to the American delegates
xyas formally announced to-day. Mr..
Dodee is a diplomat OF ability. having
been American Minister to Panama dur
ing the Taft administration and before
that an official Of the Department OF
state. The official who is to have
charge Of the general arrangements FOR
the American and other delegates ID
the personal protege OF Secretary
Bryan. Robert +. Rose, who succeeded
Charles NJ. Pepper as foreign trade ad-
wiser.
Secretary Bryan made an engage
ment to present to the Brazilian Am
bassador at 5 o'clock this evening the
American delegates and the secretary
OF the delegation. but he later found
II necessary TO make a political speech
in PENNSYLVANIA and left the presenta-
ton Of the delegates TO the counsellor
of the Department OF State, Robert
Lansing.
Lansing Explains Schsme.
The mediators were busy to-day pre-
pairing for their departure, and Coun-
sellor Lansing spent much time vita
the American representatives familiar
izing them With the general situation.
Mr.. Lansing said afterward that the
status Of the American representatives
would be unofficial, as they would bear
no credentials and would not have
plenipotentiary powers. All steps
would be lad referendum"-that is.
