BOXING NOTES.

Richie Mitchell, the Milwaukee featherWeighfs who made name for himself when he gave Benny Chavez, Fthe Mexican battfer, a trimming at Denver, but was awarded a draw, pronises to get into the nne1ight proper the coming season According to all the Denver papers Mitchell had Chavez all but out in the last round i or two of the contest and that he out pointed him all the way However it made little difference. for the Milwau- 1 E11ee boy received more prominence ffhrough the alleged mistake Of the referee than if he had been declared the winner. The Denver Athletic club thought soA much of MitchelFs work that Matchmaker Mike Delaney i'm
 aediately wanted to re4natch the boys or to put Richie against Young Gofdfe of Pittsburgh, or Johnny Kifbane, the champion. Mitchell Wants to rest up a. few days and will then begin active padgn- Dom4nick J. Tortorich of New
 Orleans has made him an offer to
 meet some good featherweights down south in October or November and it fEs likely that he will accept for a
 marathon battle, as he seems to like the twenty stuff. The effort to match him with Johnny KiRbane over the 20-round route will hardly be req 1ized. for Billy Mitchell, his manager. is wise enough to know that a clever and experisnced battler like the cham pfon might be passed up for time. ] If they should meet it would in all probability be for ten rounds only. isT1e will also be matched later on with Ixnockout Mars of Cincinnati and
 George Chaney, the Baltimore whiri- wind, who has been making great
 headway among the featherweights the past six noEths. Mitchell is also
 growing fast and it is doubtful wIleth- CT he will be able to remain in the
 featherweight ranks more than an 7 other six months. He has the class | now and should develop into a splen- did lightweight.

ACTRESS MUST GIVE UP PET
Rumanian's Leopard Has Been Caus
ing Terror In Boulevards and
Restaurants

Paris-Mme. Argos, young Ru'
manian actress who has been causing
some excitement in the boulevards and
the Bois de Boulogne by driving about
in taxicabs with a formidable unmuz
zled leopard, was politely informed by
the police that if she continues to ap
pear in the public streets with heI
dangerous favorite her leopard will be
seized and taken to the fourriere, OF
pound for stray animals, and be as
phyxiated.
The young actress, who is passion
ately fond of her pet that has been
frightening customers Of cafes and
restaurants out of their wits, will place
the animal temporarily in the menag
erie of the Jardin des Plantes.
It is strange to say that M. Hen
MON, the prefect Of police, was unable
to find any recent city ordinance aB
thorizing the police to seize the leop
ard, or other wild animals accompa
MED and cared for by the owners, un'
til he discovered a bylaw dated April
3. 1928, requiring owners Of animals
capable of frightening the public to
provide themselves with special II
censes BY virtue of this law OF
Charles X, the police are now able
legally to put a stop to the sensational
drives of the Rumanian actress and
her leopard.
Prince Troubetskoy, the Russian
sculptor, who is in the habit of walk
ing about streets with huge wolf,
was also notified of the application Of
this newly discovered ordinance.

SUMMER CURTAINS OF NET.
Wide Variety ls Offered, and Prices
Arc Not Beyond Reach Of Mod
erately Filled Purse.

In selecting made curtains in pairs,
It is difficult to keep to the ideal of
simplicity for the summer home, for
the designs lead by insidious gradua-
tions from the plain bobbinet to most
elaborate curtains OF imported, hand
made lace. To begin with, there are
the net curtains with tiny edges and a
twO-inch insertion. The net is finer in
thread this year, the lace daintier In
design and the heavy cluny is discard
ed for better thread lace, yet prices
vary little from last year Then there
are curtains with plain grounds and
woven borders which suggest German
influence; while some Of the copies OF
old lace borders, on plain net, are so
we'll done that the beauty of effect
wins pardon for the imitation. An
other imitation worthy of acceptance
is a narrow insertion and edge of
venetian point lace, which is made by
machine on curtains of plain net.
A hand embroidery which has the
appearance of lace is that which deco
rates a new style Of net curtain. 1t
resembles shadow embroidery to some
extent, and is done with soft, fat
threads of silky cotton. The design is
first outlined and then entirely filled
In with sort Of darned work. These
curtains have a delicacy that suggests
expense, yet they are less in price
than many which have heavy cluny
establishment. They are finished with
a simple hem in order to keep their ef-
feet in lightness.

Mexloan acartmheeID Hats.

General Villa, like most of his coun-
trymen, has fancy for large-brimmed
hats. An American who served for
some years as secretary Of a Mexican
corporation, says that "the Mexicans
possess a special weakness for hats
of the cartwheel type. 1t is by no
means unusual in Mexico to see a
man wearing a hat worth $50 or $35,
while his suit is not worth dime. In
one part Of the country law has been
enacted imposing fine Of $40 on every
man found to be wearing a hat more

Presently the servants brought out
che tea-service. The silent dark skinned
Sikh. with his fierce curling whiskers,
his flashing eye1, the semi-military,
semi-oriental garb, topped by an enor-
nous brown turban, claimed Court
landt's attention; and it may be added
that he was glad to have something
to look at unembarrassedly. He want
ed to catch the Indians eye, but Rao
had no glances to waste; he was con-

experimenting the service
"Oh, yes; l am very fond of Como"
he found himself replying mechanical

as hopeless so far as coming to his
rescue was concerned. He began,
despite his repugnance, to watch Nora.
And all the while Mrs. Harrigan was
talking and he was replying; and she
thought him charming, whereas he
had not formed any opinion Of her at
all, nor later could remember a word
of the conversation.
"Fea!" bawled the colonel. The verb
had its distinct uses. and one general.
