 WITH HUSTLE EFFECT, HIGH OR NATURAL WAIST LINE.

Drapery at the back that conveys the suggestion of hustle is new and smart and here is skirt that shows it handled with unusual success. The drapery is arranged to form pretty folds at the front and width over the hips and, incl dentally, the skirt is all made in one piece, so that it can not mean much labor. Beneath the upper portion, there Is a smooth fitting yoke and the skirt is slashed across the back to allow of plaits and folds. The model is an excellent one for the taffeta that has taken such firm hold upon the fashionable world and almost all the fashionable silks and crepes and it also is much liked for the spring suiting materials, for the model is equally smart for the indoor gown and for the street costume. Since the finish can be made at either the high or the natural waist line, all figures can be accommo- dated. Taffeta is the material illus trated and taffeta seems to suit the mode peculiarly well.

AGU|LAR MAY CORRAL HUERTA
Trying to Cut OFF Retreat of Huerts
and Cabinet in Case They Try
to Leave Capital.

Washington. - Railroad communities
ton between the City of Mexico and
Vera Cruz is menaced by constitu.
tionalist forces, Brigadier General
Funston reported Thursday to the war
department.
From sources in touch with the con,
stitutionalists' agency it was learned
the particular object of the activity OF
Carranza's troops in Vera Cruz state
is to cut off all means of retreat for
Huerta and his cabinet in case they
determine to quit the capital.
The constitutionalist forces in Vera
Cruz state numbering about three
thousand, are said to be disposed so
that they might cut not only the rail
road between the City of Mexico and
Vera Cruz, but also the line between
the capital and Puerto Mexico. The
forces are under command of General
Aguilar Interruption of communica.
ton between the capital and the
eastern seaboard has been in contem-
plation by the Constitutionalists for
the last six months, it was said. 1t
had been understood the South Amer
lean mediators are prepared to make
an appeal for Huerta's personal safety
in the event his government colIapses
before the conclusion of the peace con-
ference.
Administration officials were not
greatly alarmed over threats to cut
communication between the City of
Mexico and the gulf ports, because
virtually all Americans who wanted
to leave the capital and nearby points
reached safety some time ago
General Funston reported that ru,
mors of contemplated federal attack
on Vera Cruz persisted to the point
where they could not be entirely ig-
nored. War department officials, how
ever, were not inclined to regard the
rumors seriously
General Funston was unable to say
how many federals remained in the
territory between the capital and the
gulf.

CLUB WOMEN VGTE: SUFFRAGE
A Climax to d Fight Of Years-lIInois
Supreme Court Gives Women
Right to Vote.

Chicago, IlI.-In one Of the most
spectacular and exciting meetings ever
held in Chicago, the twelfth biennial
convention Of the General Federation
of WOmen's Clubs Saturday passed a
resolution officially indorsng equal
suffrage.
The action came as the climax to a
struggle extending over many years,
during which the convention repeated
ly has refused to consider the ques-
ton of Womans rights as an issue.
It has broken the oldest custom Of
the organization and ended harm0-
niously session which had every in
dication of becoming a parliamentary
riot.
The vote on the resolution assumed
the proportions Of a thunderous roar
as nearly two thousand delegates
shouted their stand on the question.
Argument and Roberts rules Of order
were forgotten from the moment the
resolution was read. The few mega
tive votes which were cast scarcely
were discernible in the mad cheers
which followed the fall of the gayel
announcing its passage.
Illinois" was sung by the Illinois
delegation preliminary to the dra-
matte reading of the resolution in
favor of suffrage. Mrs. C. G. Den.
niston, chairman Of the committee on
resolutions, was recognized then and
the following resolution was read
Whereas, The question of political
equality Of men and women is today
vital problem under discussion
throughout the civilized world; there,
fore, be it
Resolved, That the General Fed,
GRAFTON of Woman's Clubs give the
cause of political equality for men and
women its moral support by recording
its interest and belief in the principle
OF political equality, regardless of
SEX"
Scarcely had the convention favored
the principle of female suffrage when
news was brought that the Illinois su,
preme court had upheld the state law,
giving women the right to vote for
statutory offices. Opinions of the
women differed as to the effect of the
Endorsement of equal suffrage.
