Spring Costumes Show
Slavic Peasant Influence
The High Collar Vies With the Comfort Of
the Dutch Square, Cuffs and Frills
Finish Sleeves.
Finish Sleeves.

New York, Feb. est is during this
season that the New Yorks shops put
out many novelties for spring and sum-
mer to gage the feeling of the Ameri-
can women and see what they want
and don't want. Queer little hats ap-
pear; for instance, I recently saw one
in sailor shape with large crown not
more than an inch in height with a
brim about two inches wide. Around
the crown was piece of old-fashioned
picot-edged ribbon, flowed in streamers
to the shoulders. No doubt this may
inspire some ingenious modiste to make
something really worth wearing, but
for the hat itself-well, suppose some
woman who is aching for the latest fads
in hats may wear it a few times. Anoth.
er sailor hat had a very small high
crown with a wide brim. This also was
trimmed with single length of picot-
edged ribbon, which tied with two long
loops and ends which fell to the waist.
line. Of such are fads made!
Last year, as a "feeler,' crinoline
gowns were shown at the early spring
openings, together with the close-ftting
Directoire gowns, which really had the
greatest influence on the early spring
and summer styles. These fluffy gowns
showed dainty little pantalets below,
and, Of course, in it's adjustment these
were dropped off, and merely the full
skirts, daintily ruff1ed and bodices some
times pointed in the front and with
round dropped shoulder effects were
taken. These are the prominent fea-
lures of the dresses which are shown
for the spring and summer.
This season, the decided Dutch and
peasant styles are what the dressmak-
ers are showing to the multitude Of wo-
men, and it still remains to be seen
what will be their decision.
The ample costumes of the Slavic
peasant women, who, in some cases,
wear twelve or fifteen stiffened petit.
coats at time, are proving inspiration
for many Of the up-to-date costumes
also the coats and smocks of the men,
which are equally ample. They are
besides being full, short. This note is
becoming more pronounced all the time
in the fashionable woman's costume.
Below the peasants short skirts,
which often reach only to the knees,
are worn high boots. Paul Poiret tried
very hard to introduce high boots, but
failed; now the peasant styles have
launched them, and already Parisians
are wearing boots with their walking
costumes-not as high as the knees, but
more than half way to the knee. In
the United States this idea will prob
ably be modified to unusually high lace
or button shoes.
The full skirts are shown with the
greater fulness at the sides, which is
much moro graceful than the barrel

FROM PAN-PACIFIC
PRESS ASSOCIATION

The first special feature of the ex-
position, the Vanderbilt cup race, was
run on Washington s birthday.
The grand prix will be run on Feb
Iuary 9th, over the same course.
Commencing March Is and continu-
ing until the first of May will be the
international polo contest; many noted
poloists have entered. President Will
son will arrive March "a unless kept in
Washington by his official duties. The
president and party will remain until
March 90, and he will make the New
Jersey building his headquarters. This
building is reproduction of the Tren-
ton Barracks which served as headquar-
tiers for George Washington prior to his
crossing the Delaware.
1t will, no doubt, interest many to
know just how large the buildings are
which contain the various exhibits and
an idea of their size may be obtained
by giving their dimensions so the read
er may compare them with some build

shape, which is given by the hoop. A
few dressmakers, however, to the con-
trary, are showing their dresses over a
petticoat which is reeded at the knees.
The uneven hem is often the result
of this distribution of fulness, and is
endorsed by Dame Fashion. Yoke eff
fects have been introduced this season
with the yoke often in contrasting
color. This yoke is an easy evolution
from the low waistline.
Another idea borrowed from peasant
costumes is the apron effect, with open
ings at either side showing fluffy pet
ticoat beneath.
Costumes and suits show the normal
and high waistline, but are distinctly
different from the old-time Empire
lines. The real Empire line is decided
ly ugly with the full skirt, but the
slightly raised waistline accompanying
the full short skirt is much more artis-
tic than the long wasted blouses and
these same full skirts.
The length of the suit jacket or coat
must also be considered in relation to
the length of the skirt. Note my sec
ond illustration, and the placing of the
belt at short waistline, beneath which
the lower part of the jacket shows mod.
crate fulness. The skirt below is full
and slightly flaring.
A decidedly new note in the spring

Very short sleeves, directly traceable
to the long shoulder-line and the 1880
period, are quaint and charming when
added to fr0ck with the dropping
shoulder effect.
There are the bell and other shapes
for cutting the sleeve and frills of vary
ing widths and design at the wrist, as
well as many odd little cuffs, round or
pointed.
The trimmings for spring dresses are
varied. For black and white there are
jet spangles and white beads in pat
terms often heavy in appearance, but
light in weight. Military braids in
black, dreadnaught gray and in colors
matching the dress goods shades are
used. Japanese and Chinese embroid-
cries will lend their enlivening colors to
the neutral colorings which are so very
smart.
Buttons in brass, silver, gun metal
and steel are in large demand for mill
tary costumes, and the vegetable ivory
buttons are made in the average colors
of dress goods.

of the city or town and every resident
of there and stands ready to fight the
battles even of individual citizens in a
way that no other agency has either
the nerve or the courage to do. 1t
stands as great bulwark of defense
for the city and for the people.
But this is only one feature.
There 8 another that is seldom given
much thought and that is that the
newspaper of any town or city are a
paying investment for such place as in
dustrial institutions. People welcome
with open arms and loud acclaim any
factory costing few thousand dollars
and they think the town is wonderfully
fortunate in securing plant that will
give employment to number of peo-
pie. Sometimes they even put up bo-
nus to secure such plant. There are
many newspapers which Civ employ
ment to a number of people, and moth
ing is thought of it. The money that
comes to the paper is spent in the town
or city where it is published. None Of
it goes away except for ink and paper
and some other small supplies that can
not be bought at home. The newspa-
per is essentially home institution. It
works day and night to build up its
home town and state, and spends its
money freely with home people. 1t is
published on strict business principles
these days, and that is the reason for
the growth and prosperity that has
come to many papers during the past
few years.
As a business enterprise, a good
newspaper is about the best industry
that any town has, and its publishers
ask nothing but square deal.-From
the Publishers Auxiliary.

styles is the change in the collars Of
waists and dresses. The military OF
high buttoned-up effects will doubtless
be the most in evidence. The square
or Dutch neck is excellent for summer
frocks, and also the newer Callot neck
which is similar. The dropped shout
der lines Of ante-bellum days is the lat
est novelty and for day wear will be
filled in with fchus of fiet and yokes
of lace or embroidery.
The square or Dutch neck is shown
in my first illustration, which is de-
veloped in soft tan crepe. This is an
unusually good model for dresses of
different fabrics, such as rep, pique,
linen, or cotton gabardine.
The long close-fitting sleeve with a
small armhole is the favorite at pres
emit. The half sleeve of one color and
the under sleeve Of another is an ex-
tremely effective idea adopted from
the Slavic peasant costume. In black
and white chiffon, it is both striking
and attractive

MORMONS ARE AGAIN
ROBBED BY MExICANs

The report that the Mormon colony
at Colonia Morelos, Sonora, Mexico
was robbed by detachment Of General
Villas army under General Trujillo
and the residents Of the colony forced
to flee to Douglas, Ariz., for protection
is verified in letter received by the
church authorities here from Bishop G.
w. Lillywhite, who was in charge OF
the colony.
The letter says that the army arrived
at Colonia Morelos ragged and starv.
ing, and took food supplies, wagons
horses and cattle from the colonists. II
also tells of the shooting Of Captain
Samiengo by General Trujillo when the
captain attempted to take sides with
the colonists.-Salt Lake Tribune.

r INVENTED the Show Girl, and, therefore,
like any other inventor, am qualified to
- discuss and analyze the child OF my
brain.
Some inventions are a blessing, such as
the telephone elevators and bread Others
like the fountain pen. cigar lighters and

that shall have to place the Show Girl in
the latter category. She is a bitter disap-
pointment. She was a novelty for awhile.
For a while the Show Girl was a hit. The
tired business man came TO my theatre to
get his mind off his work, and after he had
seen my bevy OF bouncing, blonde and
brunette beauties it was hard for him to get
his mind back to his work again.
But he got onto them the same as / did.
