COFFEY GETS FIRST
 CHANCE AT WILLARD
Dublin Giant May Win Back TItt
 tsT Ills Race.

New York, April 10.-H. H. Frazee. the packer, and Jack Curley, the pro- moter Of the Willard J ohnson fight, ar rived in New York late last night, hay ing left Willard in Baltimore. The champion will come to New York on a special train tonight, leaving Phil adelphia at about g o'clock after ap- bearing at the National S. c. in that city.
 Willard is taking the special train so that he will be able to reach this city in time to appear at the St. Nich- olas A. c. in four one-round bouts with his four sparring partners. He is ex- pected to be at the local club d little after II o'clock.
 Curley said that the receipts for the Havana fight amounted to $110,- 900 and that the champion was we'll satisfied with the amount he received, despite reports to the effect that he did not draw down any money. Curley declared that Willard got three times as much as he ever received for his share in a fight. He said the mutual machines took in about 10000, with Johnson the Nfavorite.
 Two Offers for $25,00O.
 Billy Gibson, manager of Jim Cof- fey, and Max Blumenthal, manager of Al Reich, were at the train to meet Frazee and Curley, and each made an offer of $25,000 for the champion to appear against his man in a ten-round bout. Both were turned down by Curley, who declared that Willard must have time to do theatrical turn before he boxes.
 Curley wanted to know why Blu menthal wanted his man to meet Willard, and offered to bet Reich's manager $2,500 that Jim Flynn could beat Reich. He said that if Reich is able to knock out Flynn he could take the $2,50o. The agreement was made that if there is no knockout the money will be divided.
 Curley told Gibson he would give Coffey the first chance at Willard be cause of Gibson's efforts in behalf of the Havana fight. The promoter de- clared Johnson had made a splendid showing for twelve rounds and fought fairly well for the next six, but that after that he gradually wilted. He said the negro had no money outside 2 of what he received for the fight.
 The men behind the championship battle will make an early test of the law against showing moving pictures of fights in this country. The films will be developed in Toronto, Canada, thus avoiding confiscation in this coun- try were an attempt made to bring them in. The picture rights have aI- ready been sold in Cuba for $10,000.

For the Home Beautiful


TNHE home beautiful is desired by
 every woman, and 1t Is within the range of all There are so many kinds and degrees of beauty nowadays that it is possible for every home to be at least pretty. Who shall say that the dainty little room finished in gray wicker with old rose chintz draperies is not as lovely as the room furnished in gray plush and Circassian walnut with old rose velvet draperies? One may cost less than hundred dollars, the other may mount up into the thou. sands. yet who can say one is a higher form of beauty than the other?
 Beauty in the home Is no longer a question of much money, but of much taste, and some monetary means added to willingness and perhaps little in genuity. It is surprising how far mon ey can go nowadays if the spender Is ready to look far enough for what she wants.
 For instance, the house furnisher can supply her whole home with pictures for a small sum if she buys at the proper time of the year. The loveliest prints sell for very little during the big annual sales of the department stores, and those are the times to buy.
 Taste in pictures varies more per haps than in any other subject, but the woman whosa eye for beautiful pictures has not been very well developed can not go very far astray if she invests largely in reproductions of the old masters. These prints are to be had in. coIors or in plain gray or sepia brown, framed elaborately or simply, their price depending largely on the size and beauty of the frame. They are sell dom, however, very expensive, and there are no modern pictures as lovely as these reproductions of old art.
 In buying pictures for the home the housewife must keep two things in mind if she wants the finished room to be effective. The first is the object of the room itself; the second is the col

 BEHOLD WHATWAR HAS DONE FOR WOMEN'S APPAREL!

wF you don't believe that war has

 look at the three illustrations "A shown here. In the center is shown a Russian Cossack in his uni. form, and on either side are two stunning new tailleurs for early spring. There are the fitted body and the flare of skirts amplif1ed in the case of the two ta1lIeurs by haring coat skirt tu- ntcs. e
 The afternoon tai11eur on the left is developed in sand colored covert cloth and is modelled after the German cavalry uniform. The body fits snugly and is buttoned straight up the front with tan bone buttons. The coat tunic falls in exaggerated ripples, with points extending downward at the sides. The skirt is short and circular. The suit on the right is made of navy blue serge. The coat is short waisted and also shows a haring circular tunic. Rows or jet buttons trim back and front of the snugly fitting body. which is fitted with marrow belt of blue suede and a high collar faced with white satin.
 Another thing that war may do is to divert the entire tailored suit industry to America. The reason is easy to see. The men in France who make coats are at the front or engaged in some sort of military service, and as none of the Frenchwonen are trained to the bust- ness of making strictly tailored suits the French output for spring is likely to be made up of soft frocks.
 And in this field of the tailored frock America has a tremendous opportunity. We are much better along this line than any other nation. In the cutting, dt- ting and assembling of cloths that make mannish suits we lead, and In the sewing of garments we have no equals. Any woman who has worn French gowns has lamented the tend ency of them to fall to pieces after about three or four weeks of service
 Whether this is a cause for the poor wages paid to the sewing women of Paris or whether it is the effect It is difficult to determine. At any rate the condition exists.
 The actual spring fashions are not shown in Paris until February, but we of America must have something new between September and April or buy ing falls off. and that spells disaster to tnousands.- Not only the shops suffer. but hosts of sewing women who earn their daily bread with their needles.
 That was probably why this country was flooded with the adorable little

SOME INFORMATION ABOUT HEELS

FTNHE high French heel is still the rule. A whether you like 1t or not whether or not you wear it-this is a fact There is nothing between the English walking heel which is worn for country sports, and the high heel. The fashionable heel is not the regulation French heel It is a cross between a Cuban heel and a Louis XIV: heel. It is high and almost straight, vet it curves in little. Altogether, whatever may be said of it's comfort or lack of it, it is graceful to behold, and that is probably why it was designed as it is.
 Buttoned shoes are much worn, but there are some high laced boots for street use. Sometimes these have pat ent leather lowers, with tan or gray cloth uppers and a band of patent leather running up each side of the fronts Through these bands the Iaces are put. Blind eyelets are popular that is to say, there is no rim or metal for the laces to go through, but just a punched hole in the leather. Tan low CTS and bands for the lacings, with tan cloth uppers are also shown for street shoes.
 The French heel has always been troublesome, because it is usually made of wood. Then when it wears down it is dificult to repair, for the kid cover ing must be wholly replaced. A heel

bring and type of furniture used in the room The pictures selected for a room without any regard for it's other fur nish1ngs or for it's use usually create a disastrous effect.
 For example, number of ornate gilt
 frames in a room furnished in mission work would seem grotesque, whereas the same pictures framed in sepias or black wood would be very effective. In
 the same way a room used as a library would contain a iarring note if all the l pictures were of French beauties or
 festive scenes.
 The furnisher must keep these two points uppernost in her mind when she
 music room the heads or incidents in
 the lives of great authors or composers
 are in keeping with the atmosphere Of the room and prepare the mind for the
 purpose of the room. There need be no nonotony about these pictures, as a
 large field is opened for selection. For
 example, in a music room, besides the heads of the masters of music, there
 might be hung such pictures as the
 child Mozart playing before the Aus trian court, of the young boy Bacb caught at night playing in the moon light. Then in a library a repro auction of the blind Milton and his faithful daughters, a view of Sir Walter Scott's home and one of Shakespeare's grave all these are interesting and instruc-
 tive and in perfect keeping with Ehe room.
 The gilt framed French priIsts are lovely in almost every room, except where the furniture is all of the dark
 est, severest styles. In a wicker or
 chintz room they are charming There
 is such a wide variety of these that
 choice seems hard. It will be found that the old gold frames set them off
 better than the brightest gilt and are really more effective. Bright glt frames are apt to look cheap and taW-
 dry if a great number are used.

 The woman who has chosen and wears her veil Tightly stands out from the rest very distinctly. It holds back the shining strands of hair just as it should It enhances the color of her skin and the brightness of her eyes. It accentuates the good points of her face and the curves of her cheek and chin It is carefully adjusted, not too tight or too loose. It is drawn softly but se- cureIy back and fastened wherever it is needed with invisible pins and hair pins. It is not noticeable as a veil, but blends in with the whole ensemble of careful and beautiful dressing.

IN this wonderfuI age the orange Is
 an all the year round dainty. and 1t is hard for us to Believe the stories of our grand1nothers about the days when not believe them we have only to look at the books we ourselves used to read in our childhood to realize that the times of scarce oranges are not very far away. Don't you remember about the orange one good child was always taking another good child when it was Ill? It was the greatest mark Of de- voti0n and kindness
 We'll, today oranges are as plentiful almost as potatoes. Virtually all of us have them all winter long. We can get them, too, in summer although the summer oranges are not so good as those we get in winter. Moreover, summer is so overladen with good things in the way of fresh fruits that we forget the orange companion of our fruitless winter days, until the first frost makes it's golden form and de- Hcfous flavor welcome.
 Here are some recipes for the prep aration of oranges in ways that make them more delicious than evers

 We'll, down in lower New York there are swarms of foreigners who scarcely speak our language but who stitch, stitch. stitch. all day long to supply the demand of the American woman. and, if the American woman did not wear multitudinous new clothes, what would become of the thousands who are now supported by what we desig- nate as the American woman's vanity?
 So 1t appears that what is condemn ed by some as an ugly trait of the wo- manly character in it's bronidic last analysis may be of inestimable benefit to humanity. No one who has seen the section Of lower New York where woman's ready to wear apparel is made would be willing to extirpate the desire for new clothes from the heart of woman.
