ONCE WEALTHY,

Hundreds of Former Mexican
Aristocrats Seeking Labor
to Avoid Charity.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. April a.
Hundreds Of once wealthy Mexican
aristocrats walk the streets of San
Antonio. pitifully eager for any kind
of work. at any wage they can get.
These men, women and children
are divided into two classes-the shah
by genteel and the ragged. All OF
them we're driven from the broad acres
and lives of luxury by sentences OF
death that today still await their re-
turn to seething Mexico. They pre-
fer to stay here and be poor.
Other hundreds-ther are about g.
900 Mexican refugees here-were I'M
fortunate enough to bring gold with
them when they fed from the land
Of too much trouble. They live In
great style; and there are fashion
able shops and exclusive places to
live here that are supported largely
by them.
Most Of these refugees, proud Of
their pure Castilian blood. new to pow
erty and its humiliations, sensitive to
charity, will accept any employment
to keep from becoming public charges
or private charges.

Easter Fashions

The Jockey cap type of hat, which
was introduced in Paris q couple Of
seasons ago. is one Of the spring
models in silk and straw.
Tiny ostrich plumes trim some OF
the new hats, and lovely one Is made
OF horsehair braid with the little
plumes gathered. some eight or ten
OF them. at one side OF the crown.
Wells are attached to many Of the
spring hats. They are round or
square wells. placed over the crown Of
the hat, and fastened snugly around
the lower part Of the crown with trim
ming bands Of flowers.
One charming hat of this sort
shows veil that Just covers the eyes
In front and drops almost to the
shoulders at the back. 1t Is decidedly
effective.
New automobile wells are made with
glass clear mica over the face. These
are truly comfortable to wear for they
give the face protection from dust and
wind. and, at the same time do not
smother 1t; for there are tiny holes
for ventilation in the mica.
Various methods are taken for pro-
ducing the desired flare that marks
the new skirts. Sometimes founda-
ton Of net. held out with hoops OF
bone or wire. Is worn under the skirt.
Sometimes the fullness is held out by
means OF horsehair crushed into the
desired shape.
The measurements Of the lower edge
Of the skirts held out by these various
methods is stupendous-especially
compared with the very narrow skirts
we were wearing year or so ago.
Some Of the new ones measure six
and half yards and even more.
The bertha has come back again,
or. at least, drapery OF lace or other

soft material about the shoulders and
bust that Is strongly reminiscent Of
the bertha. This drapery is especial-
~ attractive used. with sleeves that
are OF the shoulders-the dropped eff
feet Of Victoria fame.
Hand embroidery Is used on sum-
mer frocks. Often 1t outlines con-
ventional designs In beads. Some
times big silk stitches making con.
ventional flower designs are used In
contrasting colors to the color OF the
frock. The beads used in this etnbroid.
cry are Of glass and porcelain and
Jet and steel.
Artificial flowers find place on af-
ternoon and evening frocks. They are
used much like embroidery, some
times being sprinkled at regular In
tervals over the net or tulle or lace
OF an evening frock. or used to trim
the girdle Of a satin frock.
Sometimes, too, embroidered flow.
ers and artificial ones are strikingly
combined. SO that one can with Diff
ficulty tell where the one ends and the
other begins.
Although wide girdles are used to
a large extent, narrow-perhaps three
inch-velvet ribbon is very effectively
used with some Of the full skirted
models.
Alpaca is another fabric that, It is
predicted, will find much favor this
spring.
A French trick is to make the Jacket
longer on one side than the other. But
one sided effect Of this kind has to
be carefully balanced.
A fiimsy evening dress entirely OF
black tulle has tight fitting corset
let Of black velvet and velvet ribbon
strappings over the shoulders.
Evening gowns are apt to be made
OF bright colored materials.
