1t is always interesting to compare the

was the custom for the King and his

The other model is made from an
evening dress of white charmeuse
which seemed no longer to have any
possibilities as a dress. This camisole
is gathered at the waist line and more
adapted to slender figure. The
bodice is cut from straight piece of
goods. A band of lace edging fin
ishes the top and band of lace in
sertion is sewed a few inches below.
Two rows of chiffon roses in pink,
blue and pale lavender add Frenchy
touch. The skirt is Joined to the
waist under casing through which
pink ribbon is run. Two straps and
bowknots of narrow ribbon of the
same shade furnish the shoulder
straps. A lace flounce is gathered
around the bottom and similar ruff
file is placed a few inches above on
either side of the skirt. These two
ruffles are topped by narrow bands
of white fur which formerly did
duty" on a winter hat Small orna-
ments of chiffon roses are tackled to
the ends of the fur.
Nothing could be more dainty than
this exquisite little garment. The
sewing Is simple and makes a sub
stitute for fancy work. 1t is filmy
enough to fit into an embroidery bag
and may be completed in few after
moons while chatting over cup OF
tea. Envelope chemises may be made
in much the same way and silk
knickerbockers may also be made
from many of your old party frocks.

I suppose our extraordinary young
man who inspired this letter would say
she shouldn't have married him. EN-
phatically not but in most cases such
marriages have been under false pre-
lenses or when the girl never dreamed
of the fate in store for her-the misery,
modification and suffering. But that's
another story as Mr.. Kipling would say.
The point here is, does any one of these
hard working women lower their dignity
by the desperate effort made to earn
bread honorably for others?

about him and find out.

In considering the possibilities of max

there are really lovely results to be OBJ

if purchased new, would cost an amount
far out of proportion to the value of the
materials. Frequently we pay for the
idea.

a way of utilizing some of your last win

Does the Mexican Hate Us?

Gordon Marsden, in Worlds Outlook.
It comes as a surprise, therefore, to
find not little difference between the
manners, customs and mode of life of the
Mexicans south of the line and those who
have settled in the United States.
Fundamentally. these differences be-
tween two classes of the same race are
due to two causes, irrigation and educa-
ton.
Southwestern Texas, southern New
Mexico and southern Arizona while
geographically similar to northern Goa
hula, northern Chihuahua and northern
Sonora, have been made different by
man. Irrigation in the former regions
has aided agriculture, fostered commerce
and thus led to the foundation Of modern.
up -tc-date towns. In these towns arc
schools, which the Mexican children mus
attend as we'll as the American.
But in northern Mexico there Is little
irrigation, consequently little agriculture
and little industry except that incident
to the incurson of foreign capital IL
the fields of mining and stock raising
Those American soldiers who had beer
patrolling the border for the past two
or three years have been surprised by
the difference that they have found be-
tween the Mexican they know on the
4
| lie. Between the natives that many of
, them knew in the Philippines and the
people that they have met on the trial
of Villa our soldiers, however, have
found more than slight resemblance.
Not that the natives whom our soldiers
have met are all ferocious outlaws or al
original lead hunters The people Of this
part OF Mexico fall roughly into two
classes. First, are the bandits, the class

recruited in the past Many of these
men were vanqueros on the great ranches
OF chihuahua, such as those owned by
William Randolph Hearst and the
wealthy Terrazas and Creel families, but
when these ranches were closed with the
outbreak of anarchy that followed the
downfall of the Madero regime the
vaeueros were thrown out of work. Ac-
customed to living in the open and in the
saddle. they fell easily into the ways of
bandits.
But the baLdits are not. as some Amer
lean newspapers would lead one to be-
l.eve the most numerous class in this
region. The second great division of the
population, which includes the great mass
of the people Of rural Chihuahua, is made
