AN attractive waist made of all

as simple as can be and at the same
time stylish and effective. 1t is cut
by blouse pattern, having the
sleeves and bodice in one. The seams
are set together with hem-stitching
and frills of net finish them and the
neck.
Unlike many net and lace waists,
the sleeves are barely elbow length,
for in many of the new waists they
are long. In fact, one extreme or
the other seems to be the rule-either
very long, coming we'll down over the
hands. or else ending just above the
elbow.
A waist like that shown is useful in
many ways. 1t is cut on the right
lines by expert cutters. Women buy
these simple lace and net waists and
use them as a foundation on which
to build much more elaborate af-

Laredo, Textile mutilated body
of Clemente Vergara, the Texas ranch
man lured into Mexico by Mexican fed

the American side of the Rio Grande
river early Sunday by a mysterious
party of men.
Departing as silently as they had
crossed the river, the men who dis
inferred the body from the Hidalgo
(Mexico) cemetery and bore it five
miles to American territory left no
trace of their identity.
Their act definitely established the
fact that Vergara was executed. Anne

Mexico, and Captain ]. ]. Sanders of
the Texas rangers were the only per-
sons on the American side who were
told of the intended delivery of the
body at the border.
They. were not informed, they said,
until after the body had been brought
across the river. They went to the
scene, As miles up the river from La
redo, found the body as they had been
told they would, and had it brought
to Laredo pending an examination the
state will have made.
Alibi for Texas Rangers.
None of the officials would make a
statement except to set at rest earlier
reports that Texas rangers and friends
of vergara had acted together in cross
ing into Mexico and obtaining the body
for burial by the family. Rumors we're
to the effect that former employees of
the Vegara ranch were responsible for
the recovery of the body

might have taken this means to return
the body by saying that he did not be-

Vergara was shot twice through the
head and once through the neck, his
skull was crushed as by blow from

the left hand indicated that he hat
