This bodice Is not to be considered
as an example Of the usual bodice
worn with the minaret gown. 1t shows
the extreme which one may expect in
some stage gowns. The sash, made OF
scarf of lace, is an excellent idea,
but the lack of any other draping over
the shoulders than a crisp of light lace
makes the bodice impossible for Amer
leans. They have used these sashes
in tulle and lace, with the big bows at
the back, sparingly, and never with
out other drapery.
The features embodied in this gown
have been repeated and developed in
other ways very successfully. Skirts
of moire, with tunics Of chiffon edged
with marabout or fur, are very sue
cessful. Also skirts Of satin or crepe
de-chine with chiffon tunics, and soft
lace bodies with draping and over
effective.
Velvet dresses repeat the idea en-
ploying the velvet for the lower part
of the skirt and silk for the upper part.
Bodies of chiffon over silk and net are
in the same color as the skirt with
guimps and undersleeves of white
lace.
The head dress worn with the cos
tune pictured is one Of the prettiest
which has appeared among the very
elaborate styles introduced early 1t
is less pretentious than many designed
for the opera and it appears among
others that have been successful in

A MONG the odd and novel ideas in
n troduced in styles by Poiret last
fall few survived their introduction,
among them the minaret dress, of
which an example is shown here. A
narrow skirt, under wired tunic,
which extends about to the knee, char
acterizes this mode. Americans called
it the ''lamp-shade" style, which title
fits very we'll and explains more than
"minaret"
The tunic or overdress, wired at the
bottom to hold it away from the figure,
is usually Of transparent or semi
transparent NATURALIZATION or lace,
for example. The magnificent beaded
and embroidered nets for very elab-
crate dresses have been much liked.
But for the ordinary evening gown of
crepe, satin charmeuse and other
light fabrics, the tunic is of the same
material as the skirt, and the bodice
is made of lace combined with some
of the material in the skirt.
In the gorgeous gown pictured here
(an extreme of the style) the bodice
is hardly more than broad sash Of
lace wrapped about the figure and
tied in big butterfly bow at the back.
A narrower scarf Of lace passes over
the shoulders and supports the sash.
There is small embroidered panel
of beaded net finished with three large
tassels at the middle front of the
bodice, supported by invisible wires,
probably about the edge. These large
tassels are featured this season-an-

SEASON OPENS IN BALTIC
All Stars Will Play the Opening Manager Donnely Has Planned for Big Time-Love and Mara Are Oppos- ing Ptchers-Fast Game Anticipated.

The baseball season opens in Baltic Saturday when the Baltic team clashes with the All Stars of this city in what promises to be red hot contest. Dur the game the Baltic band will play and before the game there will be 9 street parade in which the players and of ficials of both clubs will ride in auto mobiles preceded by the band to the new grounds near; the Shetucket river in the lower end of the town.
 Last year when the grounds were laid out they ranked among the best in this part of the state and a con- tractor has put them in tip top con- dition for this season and made few Improvements.
 Manager Donnelly has filled out a stiff schedule and booked the All Stars for the opening date as the reputation they made last year makes them the best drawing card in East ern Connecticut. He expects to defeat the Norwich boys and has put the star twirler Love down to shoot 'em over. Ctaron will catch, as McCreedy, who was counted on to do the receiv- ing split his finger in practice last Saturday. The rest of the lineup is not fully decided as yet.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET MORE ACTIVE.
Stocks of All Glasses Advanced from
 One to Two Points.

New York. May 14.-The deadlock was broken in the stock market to- day. Quotations advanced definitely for the recent fixed level, and deal siderably more active than during the last few days of abnormal dullness. Stocks of all classes shared in the improvement which put many of them 1 to ? points higher. The advance while slow was steady without an in terval of heaviness during the day.
 Although there was no important change in the speculative outlook. traders were not at a loss to account for the days rise. The news from Mexico was referred to as distinctly bullish. The fall of Tampico was in- terpreted as an indication that the elimination of General Huerta might soon be accomplished. which, 1t was thought would enhance the prospects of peaceful settlement of this coun- try's difficulties with Mexico. This feeling was reflected in a buoyant ad- vance in Mexican Petroleum issues, owing to the presumption that the company's properties in the Tampico district will no longer be in the fight ing zone.
 As the market advanced there was evidence of uneasiness among the sustained rise was due partly to an oversold condition. Another influence making for higher prices was the more cheerful sentiment in regard to the Steel trade. Last nights reviews by trade authorities took a better tone and it was hoped that a definite inn provement might soon come to relieve the long depression. Speculation in U. s. Steel was the most active fea- ture of the market and it developed pronounced strength.
 Sterling exchange advanced again, reaching a new high point for the movement Bankers were of the opin- ion that gold coin could be exported profitably with demand sterling at 4ss.5o which is not far from the rul- ing level.
 Bonds improved moderately, al- though there was considerable selling of Rock Island issues. Total sales, par value s2.250, 900.

The opinion in Chicago is that Charles Taft, the owner of the Cubs, made an error when he refused to sell to the Chicago syndicate for senti- ment has been turned against the Cubs as a result. The syndicate that offered to buy the stock was made up Of Chicago men who are we'll known, and had they secured the franchise the team would have most probably become popular.
 When Taft barred the way to own ersh1p he turned a good percentage of the Chicago fans against the club.
 There is a lot of deep, dark mystery. by the way, about the sale of the Cubs and opinion is equally divided as to whether Murphy still owns the con- trolling factor in the club.

 in England and France regarding the merits of the American white hope. Many and various are the opinions set forth. Apparently the French fans have been following Gunboat's career closely, as they appear to have formed a more accurate estimate than that of the English critics
 In England, Carpenters chances are rather favored. Gunboat is said to be extremely slow in action, although his hitting power is admitted to be above the ordinary. It is thought that he will not be able to land on the clever Frenchman.
 In Paris, however, Gunboat's prow- ess is rated highly. Carpentier is ad- vised to keep away from the American and to rely upon his skill and foot work to avoid Smiths dangerous blows which all admit will quickly put an end to Carpenters ambitions, if they land cleanly. It Is predicted that should the fury of the battleI get the better of Carpenters judgment, caus- ing him to mix it. he will be knocked through the ropes by the American savage onslaught.

The appeal of the Chicago Federal league club from the decision of United States Judge Sessions at Grand Rapids in the case against the Phfla- delphia National league club relative to Catcher Killifer has been filed in the United States circuit court of appeals.

BRAVES PROTESTS
 GIANTS VICTORY.
Claims Snodgrass' Circus Catch was Impossible the Ball was Trapped.

The 20 game won on the Polo Grounds by the New York Giants last Saturday has been protes- ed to President Tenner of the National League by President James E. Gaffney and Manager George Stallings of the Boston club. The protest is based on a decision by Umpire Rigler which allowed a circus catch" made by Snodgrass, on Whaling in the second inning.
 It was physically impossible for Snodgrass to have caught this ball. according to Stallings. who said he had ten reputable witnesses, seated in the rightf1eld grandstand, willing to make affidayits that Enodgrass trapped the ball. The play had an important bear ing on the result of the game, the Boston manager contended, because it broke up what appeared to be a bat ting rally, a double play canceling a run which had crossed the plate. Stallings said further that Tyler was interfered with by Doyle when Tyler was retired in a double play in the sixth, and also that four strikes were pitched to Meyers in the seventh i,e- fore the Giant catcher made a two- l base hit which won the game.
