Bath 3Obes Are Startlingly Like On,-
Piece Frocks Since High Priced De

Their Heads Of Making Them Of Cor
duroy and Silk Cording.

NEW YORK, Sept IA 1t i, always
puzzle to men how women distinguish
these days between their different
gowns for different occasions These
men insist that there was tine when
womcn's clothes were easily picked out
by any observer in their relation to- the
different hours and social occasions (,
but that time has been nodded into the
far away past, they say, because one
cant tell' a bedroom Wrapper from an
evening gown, a bathrobe from a one
p'ece irock or morning street hat from
an \ p. m. restaurant hat
interchangeable Clothes.
These men 20 on to wonder, when
they are in speculative frame OF mind,
why women want all their clothes so
much alike and how il is that they don't
through some sudden arrangement OF
mind, appear at the opera in a bath
robe or at luncheon party in a ball
gown.
The women make answer to this bit
make these mistakes very often, but that
no man is competent to judge Of the
mistake and few womcit notice it.
The wrapper is no longer wrapper
and the very best dressmakcrs advise
the use OF iormal luncheon gown on
a suburban train by covering it with a
coat tina, matches the hem OF the SKIRT.
An evening gown is often turned into
o'clock afternoon frock by having
a bit OF transparent drapery put over
the neck and arms, somewhat after the
fashion that gave rise to the bclici III
Paris that The average American woman
put net yoke into her ball gown when
she wanted to wear it IN the daytime
WcQ at any rate, many gowns that
were ornate have become simple, and
many simple things have become or
nate, so that they meet on common
ground. There should be no objection
10 this The level is high, and the aim
OF women today is 10 keep from look
ing slattcrnly in ANYTHING. The day OF
the curlcd papers and the Mother Hub
bard wrapper is dead Let us hope it
will never he rcsurrected.
II woman wants her bathrobc TO
look like ne-plecc irook, then she is
ambitious and should bc encouraged.
Rapid transportation and the common
garden motor car have made everyone
take mp week end parties after the
British fashion, and IN so doing, they
have vastly contributed to the money
taken in by the shops A woman may
be content to wear an ordinary ncglgee
or bathrobc in her own home. bu, she
is keen ahou, having both these gar

She is aware that possibly supcrcilous

JIM THORPE NOW
USEFUL. To REDS
(Ry unitad Prass.N

NEW YORK, May 16-Iim Thorpe.
the most famous athlete of them all.
seems about ready 10 take his pla ce as
the first great all around athlete who
ever has become a major league base
ball player Of ability. Jim is hitting
them far and wide for the Reds in the
absence of Eddie Rousch and, although
he hasn't yet actually made good. he
has a better chance OF becoming a regu-
lar than he ever did while filling a Giant
uniform.
John McGraw. leader OF the Giants.
always has predicted tina Thorpe would
be a star If given the opportunity to
play every day. All he needed McGraw
contended. was major league experience.
He believed firmly that a mar who
could do such amazing things In other
competition could learn to hit and play
the outfeld.
Thorpe has been picked out as a
sucker for a curve ball" of which
pay in the majors. Pitchers have simp-
" curv-balled him out of a job with
the Giants. He couidn't hit-conse-
~quently he couldn't play.
Thorpe never really played ball be-
rore ne became a member or the New
York team in 1918. He had played pro-
fessioral baseball and had taken part
in some college games. but his expert
ence was sadly limited until he came
under the eye Of McGraw.
His 1913 batting average was .143,
but he took part in only nineteen games.
The next year he was In thirty games
and batted 1874. Seventeen games the
following year gave him a mark Of .231.
Thorpe begged to be sent to some
minor league club so ne could get ex-
perience after these poor averages were
given him. and his appeal was needed.
NcGraw sent him to Jersey City. which
club subsequently turned him over to
Harrisburg. In 1915 he was sent TO
Milwaukee, where he batted .2T4 for the
season. a record which proved he was
beginning to hit the kinky pitching.
At Cincinnati he has been given
chance to show what he really can do
with major league curve balls and he
has been making good.

forces were defeated at Mapula, 81

afternoon by the de facto troops in
command Of General Francisco Muir
guia, according to unofficial but re-
liable reports received here today
from Chihuahua City.
All reports of fighting within the
city were denied today, Mapula hav.
ing been the closest point to which
the Villa forces penetrated yesterday,
it was said. 1t was said at military
headquarters that no messages had
been received from the state capital
today and this was taken as an indica-

progress neal there. Freight and ex-

The defeat of the Villa troops at
Malpula yesterday, following the
fighting between Mapula and Bachim-

believed here to have prevented Villa
from carrying out his announced plan
of attacking Chihuahua City, with his
entire force early today. An uncon-
firmed report was received here to-
day that General Joaquin Amaro with
1000 de facto troops had arrived at
Chihuahua City from Torreon to re-
