PLUM AND EGGPLANT GOOD
SHADES FOR AFTERNOON WEAR

THIS is a season OF
j varied and beautiful
silks. The American de-
signers accomplished
much when they formed
the habit of depending
on American mills for
their fabrics-since neces-
sity Is the law. Fabrics
are varied as to weight,
but In the main. color
ings are more or less
sombre, the only real
warm shades being the
new reds and garnets.
The, inspiration for these
came straight from Paris
openings. Everything
over there is, of course,
decidedly military. Most
of the shades are taken
from the soldiers uni
forms, their blue coats
q fording a most effective
feminine fancy. Reds are
In the same category.
America is responsible
for the plaid and stripe
rage. Some importers
told me that these are
used In place OF staple
c0lorings, which usually
come from Germany. But
be this as 1t may. plaids
are certainly fashionable.
and silks of this type are
selling at an alarming
rate.
Another reason for this
'lTogue for plaids is the
scarcity OF velvets. So
much velvet has been
consumed on aps,
suits, afternoon and
trotteur frocks this fall
that II Is hard to get

While II must be conceded that the
keeping OF late hours Is very far from
beneficial, at the same time, no one but
q very foolish woman would make whole

as dancing. One only has 10 read Greek

The world-famed dancer, Adeline Genee,
has very definite views on the subject.
There is nothing like dancing, in moder-
alton, for producing health and aiding
beauty" she says. I'VE are inclined to
believe, many Of us, that health and
beauty are expensive things. only to be
acquired by those who are the happy
possessors OF long purses. Health we
ascribe to the tender ministrations of an
excellent physician. who tells us what TO
do, or what not TO do. in order to possess
that elusive thing--health. Beauty we
ascribe 20 the constant care OF beauty
doctors-and beauty doctors are very, very
expensive.
'sTn thinking after this fashion, we are
apt to forget the essential and valuable
fact that we can help ourselves to health
and aid ourselves to beauty IL we will only
take the necessary trouble.

Of healthier women. Yes indeed, this is

who follow sedentary occupations, sitting

cannot spare. Also they think II costs
money-and so II does-to swim or skate

kind which requires Just ten minutes each

SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS
IN INTERIOR OF MEXICO

PUEBLA. MENICO. July 10 (by mail
20 New Orleans, July oT).-American
Red Cross and United States consular
agents. who have been cooperating to
relieve hunger and illness in Mexico
City. to-day summarized conditions in
the interior as. follows:
For more than six weeks no food
in any quantity has reached the Mexi-
can capital. The abandonment of the
capital on July II by the Carranza
forces has left confused military stu
alton with which IL seems impossible
10 cope. All railroads between Mexico
City and Vera Cruz have been crippled,
and the territory along the lines has
been SO infested with bandits OF both
Iapata and Carranza factions that il
is improbable relief can be sent from
Vera Cruz without military aid OF such
strength as has not been availab BILE
heretofore. 1t is needless to say con-
ditions in the capital are growing
worse. and II is evident they may be
intolerahle both 10 foreigners and Next
cans a month hence"
The abandonment Of the capital by
General Pablo Gonzales on the 18th
came without warning. Two reasons
were given by the Carranza forces for
their withdrawal: first. that zapata's
troops. by capturing Pachuca, threat
ened 10 cut the railroads TO Vera Cruz
and thus isolate General Carranza him.
self from his army: second, that Zapa-
ta's forces were about to surround
Mexico City and catch Gonzales in a
trap. The evacuation was so complete
that only fifteen Zapata soldiers en-
tered the city at first TO take possession

others
After the Iapata government evacu-
ated the capital. July 10. and withdrew
TO Cuernavaca. Gonzales, with 10000
Carranza troops, announced he had
captured the city, although he did not
assume even nominal control until July
10. He kept his headquarters several
miles outside the city during the five
days he had nominal control. In the
meantime the various Zapata leaders
came in behind Gonzales. captured
Pachuca, destroyed the railroad, blew
up trains filled with Carranza govern
ment provisions and threatened to at
tack Cordoba and Orizaba. Fighting
was common around Orizaba and ia
lapa. and it was reported that Zapata's
troops were endeavorng to make their
way TO Vera Cruz. The possibility of
their isolating Carranza in Vera Cruz
is said to have resulted in orders to
Gonzales to leave the capital and fall
back toward the coast

property along the railroads between
Mexico City and Vera Cruz have hand
