pinked ruffies are put ON in the zig-zag

lower skirt.
Many of the stores display these
skirts with brassieres, the tighter the
better, no doubt for contrast, or per-
chance because there is so much new in
brassiere fashions. 1t is interesting to
note that the front closings have COM
pletely replaced the old crossed-in- the
back styles, which at best were ill.fit-
ting, uncomfortable garments. Above
the bust line, some of the new waists
are elaborately embroidered and trim

made model of linen has yoke and
short sleeve embroidered with a conven-
tional rose design, and the edges but
tonholed with tiny scallops. However,
brassieres are not fancy. Others have
degenerated into mere strapless bust

offer for sale at $500 is said to reduce

they are actually going to wear them

the novelties this season. The white
washable sateen skirts offered with
wide epleated founces are splendid to
wear with thin frocks. The texture is
so close, that there isn't the slightest
chance of the wearer's figure being sill
houetted in the sun.
Drop skirts for cloth suits are, of
course, more moderate in width, meas
uring from two to three and a half
yards. Here, taffeta predominates, and
as in the suit itself, blue is the leading
color. although there are some white
taffetas and Dolly Warden effects, which
bid fair to be extremely popular during
the summer. Ruehings and pinked ruff

Huerta To Be Released
on New Bond To-day
rBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Ell Paso. Tex, July 5.-Arrangements
have been made by Huerta 20 meet the
additional bond Of $4,000 tomorrow.
The aged Mexican leader, who still Is
in the county jail, stated to-day that
he would arrange the bond on Tuesday
and that he hoped TO be able to return
to his daughters home in the Georgette
apartments.
Il is known, however, that Huerta,
as soon as he is released on bond will
be taken in charge by the military
authorities and informed at Fort Blass
until his preliminary examination IS
held next Monday on the conspiracy
charges against him.
Friends Of the eX-dictator have been
endeavoring to-day to get an order
from Washington 70 permit his return
TO his daughters residence. Army men
say it is likely that the order will be
modified.
Additional evidence has been found,
il is claimed, which makes il especially
desirable that Huerta be kept under
strong guard, should h. be released,
and the only safety, from a military
standpoint, is TO keep him at Fort
Bliss.
While military bands were playing
near his cell to-day, and he could hear
the tramp Of 5000 American soldiers on
parade, General Huerta talked hope
fully through the grated door and
asked that an English first reader and
Spanish English dictionary be
brought TO him He said he wished 90
occupy his time in prison, and after
he is out, studying English.
