The extreme OF elegance is reached II
the petticoatS Of cloth OF gold and sill

with ribbon roses. Most popular is silk

ruffle OF the batiste pulled and inserted
with Nalencinnes lace was tucked three
times for novelty just above the flounce.
Night dresses are of Empire and red
ingote style, and, as other articles Of
feminine wearing apparel, the white
muslin night robe has given place to
gowns of delicate coiors. Smoking
picot edges, organdy embroidcries, cut
work and various kind OF laces arc used
extensively.
Printed crepes in butterfly and other
designs are more called for than ever,
as they do not ncccssitatc ironing. A
night robe of plain rose linen with f1uted
ruffles of organdy was made in panel
effect with short puff sleeves. a ribbon

the use of hem-stitching and scallop-

CORSETS 81. ...
The corset of today is the result OF
the determination of the manufacturers
for women do know just what they
want, and a corset is only successful
when it is the right corset to the in
dividual figure.
The corset should be worn sufficiently
large to permit the wearer to sit III
comfort The corsets called for the most
extensively is the one with a medium
high bust, slight curve to the waistline,
the skirt modified in length witt, little
more roundness to the hip, but the back
maintaining the straight effect.
The use of firm material and moderate
boning is employed Flesh color and
|deep pink are favorites even in the con-
;scrvative corsets. Science has proven
THAT the support of firm, comfortable
corset is an aid to the preservation Of
health. Broche is the leader in materials.
Many attractive styles, both in cotton
and silk, besides combinations of cotton
and silk, are shown.
There are mo-els for every use, ten
mis-, golhng, bathing, dancing, horse
back riding, etc. The lace-in-front
corsets find new dcvotces every day.
They are considered of an especial value
for developing youthful figures, because
the pose of a growing girl is rendered
more correct, the hips being thrown back
in their natural position, and the chest
raised SO that the body is carried in
correct balance. ... ...,. %. ..

Catholic Dances Forbidden.

New York, June THAT dancing
no longer will be part of the enter
tainments given by the Catholic
churches throughout the country, was
made known positively this week
when a letter from the Chancellor of
the archdiocese of New York was re-
ceived by all the pastors of Catholic
churches in the archdiocese.
The letter is pursuant to a decree
of the Sacred Congregation of the
Consistory, dated March 81" which
"forbids under severe penalty all
dances at church entertainments"
This is one of the most drastic rul'
ings ever promulgated by the Cathol'
ic Church. The revival of a church
blue law, originating at the Thirt
Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1888;
came as a great surprise and shock t.

BASE BALL FANS At
MOBERLY rush UMPIRE
Mexico Referee is Threatened After
Game Sunday Which MOberly
Loses by a 8 to 2 Score.
THEY THREW ROCKS AT HIM
Two Players Play "Push Face" With
Umpire and Police "Stick
Around" to Protect Him

The fussiest baseball game played
on a Moberly diamond since the fans
seized an umpire in the old Hunt ball
park and threatened to duck him in
the "tank" pond, several years ago,
was played at Athletic park Sunday
afternoon, when the Athletics, who
have been sailing along with per-
feet percentage, lost to the Mexico
team by the score of three to two.
Although Moberly's boat was rocked
in yesterdays game, the vessel is
still leading the league.
From the first the Moberly fans
took exceptions to decisions made by
the umpire from Mexico. Two Mob
erly players thought it was neces-
sary to trough" the Jump" a little
and each of them engaged in a game
of "push face" with him. The UNI
pire stood by his decisions and made
no offer to retract. The demonstra-
tion of the fans in the grand stands
was steadily growing hotter each
minute and when the game was over
with Moberly defeated, the demon
stration reached its crisis. Rocks and
cinders were thrown at the umpire
by several fans as he rode away in
an automobile. Gene Williams, who
was driving the auto, came the near
est to being hit, as heavy einder
struck his cap and sailed on through
the autp, and a fusilade of rocks
was thrown at the rear of the ma
chine. One fan had a brickbat in
his hand ready to throw it but some
one knocked it away from him. AT
the train a Gordon of police was
formed to protect the umpire, if
necessary, but there was no further
trouble.
Yesterdays demonstration was q
repetition of the rush" made on a
local umpire on the Mexico diamond
last season.
Lancaster, who pitched for Mex
leo, was too strong for the Athletics
and Moberly did not register a hi
until the fourth inning, when Blak'
singled. Only four hits were made
off Lancaster, Blake making two o.
them. Reise hit for single ant
Nichols, pinch hitter in the ninth
singled.
Mexico scored two runs in the frs
inning, the first two batters pound
ing Riese for doubles. The Mex
leans got eight hits off Reise, one hi
, for three bases.
In the eighth inning it looked lik
the game would finish by score c
