A simple but rich-looking toilette is
imong the new displays Of suits and
dresses for spring. but with all its
simplicity 1t reveals two original and
very effective style features that are
noteworthy. The first of these appears
In the combination of two very differ

one of those heavy, lustrous, supple
weaves, much used for separate and
sport skirts. and the smart and rather
elaborate coat Is fashioned from a
heavy satin such as we have been ia
nnilinr with for years. There Is no
rivalry between these two dissimilar
satins, but 1t Is unusual to see them
used together. Just how successfully
they may be associated appears in the
suit for spring shown above.
This is formal suit that will hold

WyominQ,

Since the opening of the Mule Greek
field, which lies fifty-five miles north
of Lusk, grand rush for the new
found structure has been in progress.
Salt Creek, the development OF
which has been seriously hampered
since 1909 by the governments policy,
will undoubtedly leap to the front in
a campaign of active development.
That the Poison Spider oil field will
see a development campaign during
the coming summer, second to none
in the central part Of the state is the
belief of officials who plan to make
thorough test of the field which con-
tains some of the largest gas wells in
the state and is considered virtually
proven structure.
A bill has been introduced in the
Wyoming Legislature to prohibit what
is termed "wanton waste" of natural
gas by its manufacture into carbon
black, an industry that has gained con-
siderable proportions at Crowly, Wyo.,
where gas from the Byron fields is
used for that purpose. Similar plants
are under construction, and it is stat
ed that the new industry is threatened
by the proposed measure. Wyoming
has more than a billion cubic feet of
open flow gas per day in Sand Draw,
Buffalo Basin, Cody, Oregon Basin,
Elk Basin and Grass Creek, and plans
for carbon. plants at each place are
well under way.
A well Will be spudded in shortly on
the side of:the Pine mountain, eighteen
miles west Of Casper, by the Curtis
Petroleum Company, which already
has opened up large gas wells in the
series Of synclines Of which Pine
mountain is a part.

The other night we tried a real French theatre and found the audience just as enthusiastic for jazz.
 AS we entered the theatre we were met by a courier in evening clothes, who wished, for our convenience, to sell us the best of seats. Wed seen ticket spectators outside of theatres at home. but couldn't realize that one would be tolerated right inside the lobby, greeting and offering tickets to everyone who entered. We were about to buy tickets when a civilian shook his head and motioned us toward the ticket window. There for F francs we got seats as good as those for which the speculator tried to charue us 20 The tickets looked like street car | transfers but we couldn't get into the 1 theatre with them. No, we had to pre- ! sent them to stand where another man wrote on them their respective numbers. Then we entered-but aga1n not the theatre We entered one of the swellest cafes I've seen in somewhat varied career. with the customary small but amply stocked half moon bar on one side of richly carpeted, richly | furnished room. in which several hun dred people could sit at tables. We l learred there that many Parisians do not buy seats. but simply promenade tickets, strolling to and fro through these rich areas and occasionally sit 1 ting for rest and refreshments.
 It was at the end of the first act that the real show came for us. It looked as if the show was over. Everyone men, women and children-evacuated the theatre proper, to promenade, to meet friends. to sit and sip to see and listen
 There was a sudden crash. I thought part of the orchestra had fallen in, but an American lieutenant cheered "Hoorah, Doesn't that sound like l New York;
 l The jazz band had opened hostilities 1 The band had to work hard the n.xt 15 minutes for the audience, largely French encored every number When the horns and the cowbells came in at the most incongruous places they cried | "Tres bon" and Tres gentil!" They grew happy over Me and My Gal" and positively joyous over "The l Livery Stable Blues" They wanted to learn ! to hum and whistle the airs.
 They worked the band so hard oe- tween acts that it was midnight when the show ended. It would have been over an hour earlier a Frenchman as- sured us, but for the jazz band.

 tured France in every way" he smiled,
