One week from tomorrow the big

seats for the first clash. Secretary
Gardiner announces that the boxes
are disappearing under the rush of
orders. --e
Callahan is bringing his team home

longer during this week. The athletes
will arrive home next Monday. In the
meantime they have eight games
scheduled in six cities. That is work
enough for the most outstanding

in a spotty start for the flag.
Today the first team is in Norman,

CouIon Starts Training for Williams
Bout-Forbes Is Tutor.

Harry Forbes opened his gymnas-
ium today, with Johnny Coulon, ban
tamweight champion, as the bait for
patronage.
CouIon formally inaugurated his
training campaign for his meeting
with Kid Williams June on the Paci-
fic coast. The champion, of course,
will not be in active training all this
time. He will come to his natural
form gradually, and sprinkle one real
fight in between the roadwork, bag
punching and weight pulling.
Forbes experience should be of in
valuable assistance to Coulon. He is
a veteran who knows all the tricks,
of the trade, and is also wise to Will
1iams' style of milling Whether he
can impart enough of this knowledge
to the champion to enable him to
lick the Baltimorean cannot be told
until after the battle.
CouIon is more in need of strength
than additional cleverness. He can
compete with the Fastener at the
fine points, but lately has not been
rugged enough to withstand the saw
age assaults that Williams is sure to
make.
Johnny KiIbane, feather, champ,
fights Gene belmont eight rounds to-
night in Memphis. For some reason
or other the champion demanded that
no decision be given at the end of the
go. Kilbane when right should be able
to dispose of belmont without undue
exertion. The most natural suspicion
is that Kilbane is not ready for the
battle.
George (Knockout) Brown, the To-
cal Greek, starts training today for
sure defeat. He is billed to meet
George Chip April IA. What the
Scranton miner will do to the local
man is sad to contemplate. K. o. will

From here down it falls open, but the

This gives room for an easy step
There is a threeinch hem at the bot
tom of the skirt.
The kimona waist is cut with body

over the shoulders. This gives the
effect under the arms of the fashion

The open neck and sleeves are out

over net waist or neckpiece and
fastens surplice fashion in the front
A girdle of ribbon or a fancy belt
is needed to finish this gown, and
there are several styles that look well
with it. The handsomest is the Ro.
man striped girdle showing brilliant
colors. This is made of ribbon about
eight inches wide, finished with a
loop and short ends at the front
A crushed girdle of brocaded ribbon
in the rich colors of the season, fast.
ened with a black velvet buckle at the
left side, is very pretty. 1t has nc
ends, but is finished with an over

A girdle made of black satin ribbcL
laid in folds about the waist and fin.
ished with a single long tab, makes a
quiet finish. This tab should be
rounded at the end and embroidered
in bright colors, or gathered with a
long tassel of silk or beads.
Allowing four and a half YARDS CT
silk at dollar and quarter a yard
two and quarter yards of fur at
forty cents a yard, the materials, in.
cluding sewing silk and hooks and
eyes, may be bought for seven dollars.
This leaves three dollars for the
sirdle and under waist, out of an ap.
preparation of ten dollars. But nearly
every one possesses a thin waist that
is available for these kimona blouses,
and girdles are a part of everyone's
wardrobe this winter. At any rate,
ten dollars will cover the expense OF
all the materials needed TO furnish
the gown, the girdle and the net un.

Saws Esouimaux Are Irish.

Rev. C. f. OLeary, pastor of the
Catholic church of Notre Dame at ST.
Louis, who recently returned from a
visit to ireland. is convinced that the
white Esquimaux discovered by Stef-
fansson are in reality descendants of
early Irish settlers.
1T is my belief" said Father
OLeary, that St. Brendan and his
monks settled in America in the sixth
century. Many historians believe this.
"Brendan was great mariner. as
well as great student. and with him
missionaries. were going out by the
scores from Ireland to Germany, Italy.
France and other countries.
The Norwegians formerly called
America the lesser Ireland and we
have the evidence of Brendan's discov.
cries in the sea which long was named
for him Mare Brendanicum."
Father OLeary, when abroad. Wis
tied the famous ST. Brendans Mount.
on which the monastery stood. and
studied the olG records.

AREFUL attention to the finishing
details of the toilette is a mark of
distinctive dressing. This is apparent
in the matter of neckwear, and new
ideas are advanced constantly by
manufacturers of this important ac-
cessory OF dress A style is introduced
and makes good with the public, be-
coming fashion. Its manufacturers
then vary 1t to suit women of various
types and ages.
The sailor collar and fichu motifs
have predominated this season, and in
Vulnerable changes have been the re-
suit of their inspiration. But they
are designed for the attractive and
youthful neck and must be adapted to
those who do not possess a round,
plump throat.
A guimpe of perfectly plain, fine net,
with high, smoothly fitting collar, is
worn by the woman whose neck is not
slightly when bare. This net is so fine
nnd so well fitted that it is as smooth
as the skin and smoother.
Besides the fichu and sailor collar
ideas there are many small fancy
bows, ribbon flowers and Maline orna-
ments for wearing as a finish at the
neck. Jabots are always worn and
when they are not featured are re-
placed with frills finishing the ''V''-
shaped opening at the neck of blouses.
They are especially becoming to slen-
der women. and the fine laces in style
at present make beautiful ones.
In designing neckwear those who
produce it must consider how to make
1t becoming, and women in selecting
1t must consider whether 1t is suit
ablo or no. Tor them. The iabot with
The Colorado statesman., 1914-01-10

straight band made of net finished at
the top with three tucks, shown in the
picture, is suited to the woman with
slim, long neck. Below the tucks
row of tiny jet beads or French
knots make pretty finish and lessen
the apparent width of the collar.
The jabot attached to the band is
of finest shadow lace and Stimulates
fichu ends. Black velvet ribbon out
lines an opening at the throat where
the fine net of the collar is let in
in small narrow "V" The jabot is
finished at the bottom with a little
velvet bow. Very small festoons of jet
beads fasten the upper ends of the
velvet to the neckband. They mark
the point of the "V" and are placed
on the little bow.
Still more cleverly designed to the
needs of a too-slender neck is the
other collar and jabot 1t is made of
lace and black satin. The band is a
straight piece of lace with the seal
loped edge folded down like a turn
over collar. The jabot is of the same
lace cascaded to the front. Two
shaped pieces of satin are cut out
and lined with fine muslin or null.
They are sewed to the collar and
upper part of the jabot and finished
with French knots in blue silk.
The graceful sailor collar of lace
and the net collar with frill of lace at
the front are new patterns in these
popular neck pieces. The net collar
is double with insertion and edging in
fine Cluny pattern of inexpensive
lace. This collar is quite new in de-
sign and combines the advantages of
the fichu and iabot.

M0DISH TAFFETA

TAFFETA-which promises to be the

way-is one of the most beautiful of
fabrics and one of the least expensive.
1t is woven in widths varying from
about twenty-four to thirty-six inches,
with both narrower and wider widths

from about seventy-five cents to a
dollar and a half a yard for average
weight in the twenty-four and thirty
siX-inch patterns.
The thirty-six-inch width is most

cessity which enters quite as mucn

Pieces of
Burnt Money

Burnt Money treasury depart
ment the other
day in request for the redemption
of fragments of $40 and SIS bill.
representing all that remain of the
1000 consumed by the flames.
The letter accompanying these
charred fragments stated that they
were found by a small brother of the
correspondent the day of the fire. The
letter does not say that the money was
originally the property of the corre-
spondent or of the correspondents
family, and the question of proprietor
ship will be involved if the charred
fragments are redeemable.
The fragments have undoubtedly
been kept as souvenirs of the great
fire. They are each mounted on plain
cards, on which are written the state
ment that they were found in the fire
of April g. 1899, the same day, and
that they are all that remains of 81 900
SO lost in the flames.
There are no serial numbers for
purposes of Identifying the bills, nor
is there three-fifths of either of them
left. Both are just small portion
of corners of the original bills. Frag-
ments of three-fifths size could have
been redeemed under the law at half
their value. Evidence is required
with smaller fragments.
Fragments of less than three-fifths
can be redeemed at their face value
when accompanied by affidavits of the
owner or other person having knowl-
edge of the facts that the missing por-
tions have been destroyed. The sec
retary of the treasury has discretion
in such matters to protect the gov
ernment against fraud. Fragments
not redeemed are returned.
