DALLAS, Tex. July Eel Pueblo
official organ of the Carranza government
in its issue of July l, received here today
prints the official report on the fight be-
tween Mexicans and American troops at
Carrizal. The report comes from Lieut.
Col Genovevo Rivas. who took command
of the Mexican troops after Gen. Felix
Gomez was killed. The report was made
to Gen. Gonzales at Juarez. and sent by
him to Mexico City. 1t follows:
II have the honor to report to you that
June p, at I am, an American force
composed of so or 100 men appeared here.
BY order of Gen. Felix G. Gomez. l went
out to confer with the commander of said
force to learn the object of its presence.
He said he was looking for a gang Of
bandits that We're in this vicinity.
Il told him there was no gang OF
bandits operating in this district. due
to the perfect watchfulness of the con-
stitutionalist forces. He then said
that he was going to Villa Ahumada
to look for a deserter, to which | re-
piled that we had orders not to permit
American troops to move in any direc-
ton except toward the north.

favorite fabrics in the development to
coat dresses for early fall wear.
The little frock shown in the sketch
is distinctly a summer model and at
the same time hint of fall style lines
is carried in the redingote drapery.
Dark green satin and georgette Of
the same shade were the materials Sc
lected, although this may of course be
varied to suit the individual fancy. The
gown proper is made of satin, only the
tunic drapery, the upper half of the
sleeves. the sleeve frills, and the up
per part of the bodice employing
tons in the back. The yoke of the
redingote drapery or overskirt is made
of triple folds Of satin. each two inches
wide.
Bead embroidery is suggested as a
trimming for the georgette tunic or
overskirt.
In developing frocks that will be
worn during the early fall days it is
wise to bear in mind that Nine. Mode
has issued orders for a longer skirt
than that most favored at present.
That it will also be a trifle narrow
seems certain; but frequently an upper
skirt is SO short and 1aring that one
is likely to lose sight of the narrower
and longer cut of the skirt proper.
However. neither hobble nor trailing
skirts are even remotely sighted, and
normal is pretty safe word to apply
to the general run of gowns that have
appeared so far bearing the signet of
fall and winter of 1867.

he had climbed out on the bank he
quite took. Peters breath away by say
ing: Hello. Peter Rabbit"
It took away Peters breath and 1t
upset his plan to have fun with Paddy
by giving him a scare. Is 1t any won
der that almost the FIRST thing Peter
did was to ask how Paddy had known
that he was there? You see, Peter
wasn't we'll enough acquainted with
Paddy to know what q wonderful nose
he has. Had Reddy Fox or Granny
Fox or Old Man Coyote found him he
would have guessed right away how
they had done It.
Paddy laughed and then he told
Peter about his wonderful nose and
how he depended on it to keep him
safe. Then they sat down for a visit
Peter told Paddy all about his sickness
and all the nice things that had hap
pened. Then Paddy told Peter all the
news of that part Of the Green Forest
how Mr.. Quack had wholly recovered
and was as well and strong as ever.
and how so far nothing had happened
to any of the little Quacks although
Hooty the Owl tried every night to
catch one of them.
There he Is now!" exclaimed Paddy
Il must give the Quacks warning
Sure enough, a big shadow swept
silently through the moonlight over the
pond. 1t was Hooty the Owl. Paddy
slipped down to the water. Slap! His
broad tail struck the water like the
report Of a pistol. They will know
what that means" chuckled Paddy as
ne came back to join Peter.

The vogue of taffeta Is noticeably
waning a little at the present time.
This is undoubtedly due, in large
measure, to the early fall style bulle-
tins, which state that satin is to be
the leader in silken fabrics for the
coming season. The coat dress, as
some costumers like to call the one
piece frock of serge, satin, etc. is de-
cidedly popular now, owing to the fact
that throughout large portion of the
country very backward summer has
retarded the wearing of thin, distinct
ly summer garments, and great many
of these smart little utility frocks are
being turned out. carrying early fall
style lines.
Among the very newest models there
is q noticeable tendency to favor

Yes, sir. that is what my wish would

Reddy Fox has, or Old Man Coyote, or
Lightfoot the Deer, or Buster Bear, or
Paddy the Beaver. When Paddy swan
out from his house in his pond deep in
the Green Forest the night that Peter
Rabbit had gone over there he just
happened to start straight for the place
where Peter was sitting on the bank

sounds which your ears and mine would
have missed altogether. More than
this. he knew what each sound meant,
and to know what a sound means is
quite as important as to hear sound.
So as he swan toward where Peter
Rabbit was hiding and keeping per-
fectly still, he heard nothing to make
him even suspect that any one was
there. His ears told him everything
that ears could tell. But Paddy didn't
trust to his ears alone All the time
he was swimming his nose WIS busy
testing the air for all the faint smells
that wondering little Night Breezes
brought out from the shore. Presently
as he drew near the bank his nose was
tickled with just the faintest of smells
Your nose or mine wouldn't have
smelled it at all. Paddy stopped swim
ming for just second and tested the
air very carefully. Then he grinned,
and at once swan on toward the bank.
He knew that some one was on the
bank and he knew just who that some
one was. His nose told him.
Peter Rabbit is sitting up there
somewhere" thought he. Il suspect
that he has seen me already and is
planning to try to scare me-" Paddy
chuckled and turned so as to follow
that faint smell
AS he drew in to the bank that smell
was stronger. That wonderful nose of
his told him exactly where it came
from. He couldn't see Peter because it
was too dark. Besides, Peter was hid :
ing behind little hemlock tree. He
couldn't hear Peter because Peter didn't
make even the teeniest, weeniest sound.
But he didn't need to either see or hear
Peter to know he was there. and exact

Wild Flowers in the House.

Nobody need be at loss for flowers
for household decoration at this time of
the year. for the fields and woods are
full of them. To be effective they must
be as carefully arranged as flowers
from the florists. For although they
cost nothing but the trouble of picking
them. they must not be carelessly con-
sidered
Remember that in arranging wild
flowers they look best If their natural
habits are kept in mind. Daisies. for
instance, are most effective in masses.
They can be crowded together in big
jardinieres or banked in small window
boxes
1t is necessary to have many diff
ferent sorts of holders for all the diff
ferent sorts of flowers. But these need
not be expensive. An ordinary water

Special Correspondence of The Star.
= NEW YORK, July at is no use
dwelling upon the fact that the cart
wheel hats have superseded small ones
in SO rapid a manner that one thinks
the designers must have caught them
by the brim, sent them spinning out
like rolling hoops and dashed them
into hats of fashion in a twinkling.
Some of them really resemble roll
ing hoops, and while they're all right
for summer where women foregather
. the freakish fancy of substituting a
hat for sunshade. there is a grow
ing terror as to what will happen to
all of US in town if the fashion rolls
itself into the winter.
According to Reboux of the Rue de
Ia Paix. the ajority of women go back
to the velvet tam -o'-shanter for mid
season usage. She puts out a hat of
this variety in the spring. after the
forehanded women who wear straw
hats in February were a bit weary of
the original models.
= Velvet tams for midsummer are not
new to America We wore these hats
throughout a scorching summer not
long ago, at the seashore and at coun-
try resorts. They were attached to
sweaters and white duck skirts. and
today they are added to the most hec-
tic riot of color that women have ever
worn in July
