HUERTA WILL QUIT
TO AVERT MASSACRE
Dictator Fears Wholesale Loot
Ing Of Capital II He Re-
tains Reins.

VERA CRUZ. July 1a-ro save his
country from the horrors Of civil war
and his capital from capture and. per-
haps, sacking by q victorious army,
General Huerta intends to resign the
provisional Presidency and leave
Mexico.
This was the confident belief here
today following the arrival of Roberto
Esteva Ruiz. former acting minister Of
foreign relations, who declared that be-
Huerta was to submit his resignation
to congress within the next few days.
1t would cause no surprise here II
General Huerta announced his retire
ment today. The dictator has invited
newspapermen In the capital to a din
ner this afternoon. and 1t was expected
he might make this statemest then.
Banquet VIII Step Down.
With General Huerta IT IL considered
certain that General Banquet. the do
tator's chief adviser, Will step down.
He Is expected to leave the capital
with Huerta- They may take refuge
upon a British cruiser, but there il a
possibility that the reins Of govern
ment may be handed over to Francisco
Carbajal, present minister of foreign
relations, in time for Huerta and Blan-
quet to sail on the steamer Alfonso
XIII, from Vera Cruz Thursday.
The loot ship Espagne. bearing
Francisco De la Lama, former minis
ter of commerce, Querido Moheno, the
Mas families. and many representa-.
tives of the Mexican aristocracy sailed
for Havana yesterday, carrying with
them fortunes aggregatfng several mil
lion dollars
Reports Are Conflicting.
1t was the opinion Of Ruis that Car
bajal. who will become President upon
the flight Of Huerta, viii be acceptable
to General Carrapza- This is not borne
out, however. by advices received by
the Constitutionalist agent here. Car
rama, II Is said. will not recognize any
one who may assume control through
the choice of Huerta- Ruiz said he be-
lieved Carbajal might name General
Carranza minister of foreign relations,
and the way would thus be open for
the first chief of the Constitutionalists
to assume the provisional presidency.
Huerta has decided to resign In the
interests OF peace, according to Ruiz,
and Carbajal was named minister of
foreign relations last week as a part
OF his plan OF abdication. Ruiz said
Carbajal's chief duties would be the
preservation of order after Huerta
leaves the capital and the transfer of
the government into the hands of Con-
stitutionalists.

The frequency with which dummy
corporations and dummy directors sp-
pear In this record leads to the con-
cIusion that some one high in the
counsels of the New Haven had an
obsession upon the subject Of the utility
OF such sham methods. The directors
Of the Billiard Company confessed that
they were dummies and knew nothing of
It's operations. why men of respecta-
bility and standing as these appear to
be should lend theirs names as dunn
mics passes comprehension.

feeble and puerile, but IL the master

These steamship lines were not ac-
ouired by the New Haven openly, but
covertly and by devious methods.
Dummy companies. and dummy officers

In connection with these steamship
purchases it was necessary to have

and these payments were covered up
by being charged on the books of

Down in the Red River Valley sec
ton of Louisiana there is a planter, a
veteran of the Civil War, who is not
ed for his profane vocabulary.
Not long since he married, and
everything sailed along nicely for a
few days. But the captain was called
out early one morning by a negro
tenant, who wanted to see him on
business. AS soon as the captain saw
the negro he began to curse him.
His young wife hearing the violent
language, stuck her head out of the
window and asked:
as this you dear?"
Before the captain could answer the
negro said, apologetically:

less obvious but quite as certain signs
of spring are at hand. Spring means,
or should mean, house cleaning, and
not only house cleaning, but yard
cleaning, painting, furnishing; it
should mean order and harmony and
beauty. $50 clean up and paint up"
says the Dayton, Ohio, Herald
Clean up and paint up. That is a
civic prescription that is worth while
Cleaning is akin to Goodness. You
have heard that enough to convince
you of its truth, but we sometimes
overlook a truth by reason of its sheer
familiarity, or at least fail to profit
by it as we should. Clean houses.
clean lawns, clean streets, clean alleys
clean buildings-that condition
means health and comfort and aesthe-
tic pleasure. Dirt and taudy negli-
gence indicate decay and shiftless-
ness; they invite disease; they are
ugly, offensive, unnatural.
We can't keep our yards and lawns
clean unless we use mowers. and rakes
and shovels. We cant keep our streets
and alleys clean unless we have the
men and tools and the inclination to
keep them as they should be kept.

pride and want a spotless town and

AIO ONE need remain long in doubt
IN as to what to get for a maid or
matron in this day OF the vogue of
girdles and sashes. A girdleiess gown
is hardly to be found9and whether for
the street, the home, or evening wear.
ribbons are used to form the circlet
that enfolds the waist or terminates
the bodice. There are any number Of
styles in girdles and sashes to choose
among made of every variety Of weave
known to the loom and every color
and combination of-colors that has
been thought out. + 4
A girdle Of wide plaid ribbon, fin
ished with sprightly bow. of two
loops and two ends, is shown in the
picture. 1t makes 4 Christmas gift
that will delight every woman who
likes to keep abreast with the mode.
The girdle portion is boned to spread
the ribbon and hold it in place with
out pins. The bow is simply tied and
may be united and the length wrapped
about the figure if preferred.

. A sash of dotted satin ribbon,
designed for a party gown, may
be used as model for making up any
Of the soft fancy ribbons, suited to
dressy wear. 1t requires ribbon about
four or five inches wide, of which
three lengths are sewed together to
form the girdle. This is bcned at the
sides and back to hold it in place and
fastened in the back with hooks and
eyes. Over the fastening q Hat bow OF
three loops and one end is placed
with the. loops lying lengthwise On the
figure.
Narrow ribbons are sewed together
to form wide girdles and ribbons OF
moderate width are bordered with
black velvet ribbon, from an inch to
two inches wide. The flowered Dres-
dens and rich, brightly colored bro
cades are very effectively bordered in
this way Sometimes narrow shaded
or fowered ribbons are joined by
means of narrow velvet ribbons, a
half inch in width The edges of the
velvet ribbon overlap those OF the
satin ribbon and are machine stitched
down. Girdles made in this way are
fastened with hooks and eyes and the
fastening concealed by fiat bows of
two loops without ends.

swHE perennial fancy dress party
4 which never does and never will
lose its fascination, is due to arrive
along with Christmas and the opera
and other things that are JOY for
ever. There is something so exciting
in seeing those we know SO well in
the garb of bygone heroes and hero
ines that the fancy dress party never
lacks animation.
Cousin George" garbed as Wash
ington, either commands new admi-
ration and inspires respectful homage
or causes us to explode at the thought
Of his appearing as the dignified Fa-
ther of His Country with cherry
tree record for veracity. And who
would have thought that sister could
look so beautiful and imposing as the
Empress Josephine, or who is not al
,lured to dreams as the eyes follow the
dark-eyed Cleopatra. For genuine
pleasure the fancy-dress party is worth
the little trouble it takes to get 1t up.
Although the youngsters do not en-
joy approximations quite so fully as
their elders, the fancy-dress party
pleases them, especially if the cliarac-
tors, they are familiar with in time
honored storybooks or our own his
tory are impersonated. The fancy
dress party is very instructive, too,
and in it the national costumes are
fixed in the mind more clearly than
by any amount of description.
; Four easily managed examples of
apparel for the fancy-dress party are
shown here. At the left a pair of
Irish dancers and at the right colo
NAL dame and her cavalier. The dress
OF the little Irish maid Is considerably
idealized but easy to copy. II is !.

with chenille, is as good choice as
could be made.
At the right a "battlement" turban
will be found becoming 20 matrons
who have reached middle age. The
crown is a soft cap of velvet, and
the brim, or coronet, is cut IN fouI
sections. The edges are bound with
silver braid. A small precise bow is
made of the same braid and posed at
the left of the front panel.
To trim it for an older wearer a
soft ostrich pompon or a chou Of soft
fancy feathers or single ostrich
plume is to be preferred to the stiff
outstanding quill on the pictured
model. For younger women cockades
Of silver or ribbon are as effective as
quills and less apt to prove trouble

The sailor shape with slightly
curved brim is combination of vel
vet and satin in the hat. There is ar
inlay of white, satin with piping, al
the edge on the brim and a collar
like it on the side crown. It would
hardly be possible to think up an
other trimming with so much chic as
the white peacock feathers that are
posed at each side.
These three hats as examples OF
fine results achieved with simple ma.
terial and small outlay of money com
mend themselves to those who believe
in making each dollar buy more than
a dollars worth.

In sewing the ribbon to the soles it

at the toe where three small rosettes
provide finishing touch.

RUST at this time the number of
" small hats of velvet which one
meets on the street and elsewhere
exceeds the number of larger hats by
greater majority than two to one.
Yet the larger hat, growing gradually
larger, is to be seen on women who
are in q position to choose the very
best things within reach and appro-
pirate them for their own use. There
fore, if the midwinter hat has still to
be purchased, or the supply Of mil
linery is to be supplemented with
new piece, the larger hat makes
wel!-timed bid for consideration.
Three moderately priced hats are
shown in the picture given here.
They are of types SO different from
one another that they are suited to
distinctly different types Of faces.
They are all conservative shapes and
simply trimmed. But they are smart
and up-to-date in outline and deco
ration.
The hat at the left is round tur-
ban with soft crown and overlapping
panels of velvet about the brim. Each
panel is hound on the outside edge
with silk braid. This little decorative
touch of neatly applied braid is the
noteworthy feature Of this particular
model. AS a trimming it needs only
one of the many smart outstanding
fancy feathers OF which there are so
many to choose from. A single os-
trich quill, trimmed short toward the
base, and wound, midway Of its length,
