One more example of the success
eul management of lines and adjust
ment by means of new departures in
the garment-cutters' art may be stud
led in the coat pictured above. In the
new spring models cutters appear to
have thrown tradition to the winds,
but the coats justify them in this in
dependence.
1t appears that the designers are
striving to achieve the required full
ness without making coats cumber-
some, and to give to the figure the cor
rect silhouette. In the model shown
here the back of the coat and top of
the sleeves appear to be cut in one
piece. The introduction of a pc
culiarly shaped underarm piece leads
1ne to think that this eccentricity of
cut is often made with an eye to it's
decorative value as well as to the
hang" Of the garment. The fronts
are extended toward the back in a
curved line over the hips, and contrib
ute their share of the fullness about
the bottom of the coat. 1t hangs
trinity straight down the middle of the
front, it will be noticed, which is a

Now that the lenten season is upon

each member Of the family may bios

new. That something will be beautiful
II the styles designed for small girls,

apparel. are faithfully copied. Spring
frocks for the little miss are enticingly
pretty and leave nothing to be wished
for. 1t is more of pleasure than a
task to make them up.
Speaking generally of frocks for
'dress-up" wear, skiSts are full and
short and much DETAILED In many
models there is no waist line and
sleeves are merely puffs or ruffies of
him materials that cover part of the
top of the arms. In wash frocks, for
daily wear, the sleeves are elbow or
three-quarter length. There are excep-
tons, however; with sleeves reaching
to the wrist.
One of the simplest of little silk
dresses for girl of five, or more years
Is shown here. 1t is made of foulard
silk in dark color with scattered
dots of white over it's surface. The
skirt is set on to very short plain

in the coat for spring.
This is one of many models in
black and white checks, more or less
large, usually more. Even in suits few
very small checks are shown. In them
and in coats the moderately large star
check seems to be best liked. The
wide pointed belt and oddly shaped
pockets give this design individuality.
The collar and cuffs are gracefully
shaped and finished with panels of
black silk. In the collar one may see
how clearly the designer has taken
advantage of the small cape idea with
out copying it outright. In the buttons
used irregular white stripes appear
on black background. They might
be effectively made of mo1ds covered
with black silk with greater elegance,
but less durability. Speaking of but

troops that garrisoned the town were
captured near Laguna del Fresno,

Six of the Mexicans were shot as
they tried to escape. The others. num-

and surrendered without move, ac-
cording to best reports on the affair.
These are the same Mexicans who
captured Jesse Deemer and Monroe

and Payne were rescued by Major

bandits occurred.
