The American woman will have a
tailored suit and little cares she what
the French or her own countrymen
may say to the contrary. For it seems
costumers made up their minds that
the hour of the tailored suit had struck
and that it should be superseded this
season by a one-piece frock and sep
crate coat. But the foreordained fail
ed Of accomplishment. The American
women liked the one-piece frock and
continued to love the tailored suit,
which fiourishes now even more than
ever.
The tailored suit is at its best and
smartest when ii is made of strong,
well woven fabrics and fashioned
along clean simple lines. New fabrics
come and go in the world of fashion
and some of them make beautiful suits,
but they never dlsplace serge and chew
lot and tweeds. The place of these is
fixed and the good taste that selects
them is never questioned.
In keeping with this quality of per-
manence In the materials the designs
along which they are made up should
be conservative. A good tailored suit
is an investment of money and time
that ought to be worth while from ev-
cry standpoint. 1t should look well
and wear well for several seasons If
required.
Two sensible suits of blue serge are
shown in the picture. That at the left
has a plain skirt with Tapped seams,
long enough TO extend two inches be-
low the shoe tops. The half length coat
Is belted across the front and back,

GOVERNMENT TROOPS
D|SL0DCE CUBAN REBELS
Battle Lasts Several Hours, But
Losses Sustained Are Not Large.
Revolution in Final Stage.

I3y the Associated Press,
SANTIAGO. Cuba, March 29.--After a
battle Of several hours government troops
today dislodged the rebels at songo. thir-
teen miles northeast Of Santiago. In the
opinion OF government officials the revo-
luton has now entered its final phase.
Some 500 troops attacked intrenched
rebels 10 the number Of about 500. The
rebels resisted half day. after which
Gen. Camacho withdrew the liberal force.
Col. Betancourt sent detachment in
pursuit and It is expected that at least
one moro engagement will take place.
The losses sustained in the battle were
not large. The government reports show
and six men were wounded The rebel
dead included Col Vinent. Two cannon
were employed by the government troops,
but the rebels did not have even a ma
chine gun and the character of their fire
indicated they were conserving their store
of ammunition, which is known to be
small.
Mai. Faus,o Menocal, a brother Of the
president, took part in the fighting. He
was sent hy Col. Betancourt to prevent
the arrival of rebel reinforcements num-
herring about 900. and his successful in
tercention of these troops was an i'm
portant factor in determining the outcome.
!. Government troops now occupy Guam
.anano. The rebels left without resisting.
II is expected the American marines there
will soon be withdrawn. No American
marines remain In Santiago.
