clothes. Honors are about evenly
dsv;ded between the two. Perhaps
the sleeve has been more talked of
than the girdle because the majority
Of the new girdles are SO elaborate
and so costly that tho woman who il
avsrse 70 plunging into heavy ak
penditure on clothing feels that she
can exist without one Of these cir
dies, whereas sleeves she must have.
But, as the season is still young.
Il Is likely that less expensive
copies Of these costly affairs will be
made and that these will be seen on
The less exclusive frocks. At pres
snt all of the firms showing ex-
elusive models are putting great
stress on girdles. These are, with
out doubt, very important part of
che costume, and although elaborate
they suggest many simpler ways Of
girdling dresses. The addition of a
new girdle is an excellent means of
rejuvenating q last years frock.
It may safely be said that Cir
dies never have been more impor-
iant than they are In the present
fashions. Paris dressnakers have
united on this feature. Every dress

worn with belt, nearly every one

sance in style, so also are the
girdles. Many Of them are devel-
oped in perforated metal. and the
Paris dressmaker gets no less than
$50 for one of these nickel or
steel girdles. The former are some
times silver washed and beautifully
worked in perforated designs after
the style of metal workers of that
period.

Empire period.
A remarkable thing about the per-
forated metal girdles is that thew
are used on even the most dressv
costumes. LAWN uses them on white
satin dresses, on dresses of colored

The New Purses

A HANDBAG or purse Is an
"a important accessory Of the
modern woman's outfit. The
French woman looks upon
this article principally for its dec
o. ative value. while her American
sister considers it more from the
standpoint of utility.
The most distinctive note in tins
new purses lies in their dinlinutivs
proportions, but despite sheir small
size they contain numerous neces-
sary compartments, thus combining
usefulness with ornamentation.
To achieve the compact effect
mentioned above without sacrificing
the various essential compartments,
designers of bags have been forced
to tax their ingenuity to the utmost.
That they have succeeded in their
task IS evident from the lovely things
now beng offered.
There are bags in pouch shapes,
considerably smaller than the purses
Of past seasons, bags with draw
strings, and last, but perhaps best
liked, the envelope purse. The latter
is being shown in numerous different
shapes, the square and oblong effects
being unusually prominent
Fur Invades the

rials, duvetyn and faille silk as

Fur, TOO, plays a large part IN
purses. Not only are entire bags
made from it. but those of silk or
duvetyn have fur applied as a trim
ming. This is especially true of the
pelt of the monkey, which kas been
used in every conceivable way on
this seasons clothes.
One model Of tan duvetyn has The
fur fringe projecting from, folds,
while on another it is sewn beneath
the frame and allowed to cover O
considerable portion of the bag.
Broadtail and baby lamb are fre-
quently used for the envelope shapes, ,
while moleskin, which is more pli-
able, fines a place in the pouchy
effects and drawstrin., bags. Many
women may claim that bag with
out a frame is rot SO effective as
one with it. Nevertheless, the bags
which have adopted the drawstring
are interesting in that there is great
er latitude in the variety of shapes
used. An attractive model deysl-
oped from noleskin IS cut in star
shape, the points producing beauti-
full appearance when the strings ara
drawn.

that the presidency casts Its shadow
on no man but once and that IL the
chance be missed then il will never

LAND IRRIGATED BY INDIANS
Before the Advent Of the spaniards
the System Was In Vogue Among
the Aboripines.


Irrigation began In Texas many
years before the lands embraced
within its boundaries became a part
OF the United States. years before
those same lands made up what was
known as the Lone Star republic.
writes James X. Freddy In the Ameri-
can Forestry Magazine.
To bring the time down to a more
tangible date. the first irrigation work
was done-according to tradition
when the Pueblo Indians constructed
the peculiar bitches about Ell Paso
and the Pecos country. which author
tiles Of today claim were built for irri-
CATION purposes. Another tradition
coming out Of the past tells that these
bitches were built by the Yuma In
dams when they were driven west
ward By the Comanches and Apaches.
and not by the Pueblos.
When Coronado. the rowing ex-
plorer, opened this country TO the
Spaniards he found well-worked irri-
CATION systems among the Indians:
this was in 1910 when he was pushing
toward the north. The practice OF
irrigation was continued under the
Franciscan fathers, who constructed
the five mission bitches that were
found near the present city Of San
Antonio. Even under Mexican rule
the work did not stop, and grants by
the Mexican government often read
as follows:
In the name of the Mexican ma
ton. grants him one day Of water with
its corresponding labor Of land"

RANGE OF PRICES
UNUSUALLL NARROW
The Highest Prices Were Made in the
Earlier Sessions, Lowest
Middle of Week.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug 4.-The range
of prices In the cotton market last
week was unusually narrow, fluctua-
tions being within limits OF 81 to 81
points. The highest prices were made
in the earlier sessions while the low
est came just after the middle of the
week At the highest the trading
months were s to 10 points over the
close of the preceding week and at
the lowest there were SO to So points
under. October sold up to 1913, fell
off to 12.4s and closed at 1913. In the
spot department middling lost Il
points, closing at 1913. Contracts in
the net results lost 81 to 90 points.
The advance of the early part of the
week were due in great measure to
covring of the short interests.
UnfavorabIe crop accounts were at
all times a steady influence but the
absence of any very great spot de-
mand prevented aggressive trading on
the long side with crop damage as its
foundation. Trade figures for July,
cut during the week were unfavorable,
showing small textile exports from
Great Britain and small consumption
in this country and they caused more
or less selling.
Nearly all sections OF the belt sent
in crop complaints of one kind or an
other and general opinion was that
August deterioration was more than
usually severe. This opinion was re-
Elected by a private bureau report on
the condition of the crop at the middle
of the month Of 81 per cent or normal
a loss for the half month of 90 points
against the ten year average deterio-
ration for the whole of August of IL
points. Hot and dry weather in the
western belt, especially in Texas, with
consequent shedding and premature
opening Of bolls and poor fruitage in
the eastern belt, particularly in Geor-
gia and South Carolina were the main
causes of complaint.
First bales were reported by Mis-
sissippi and Oklahoma and Louisiana
reported its second while much cotton

in southern portions Of the belt with
a world of cotton, open in the southern
counties of Texas. BY some crop OBJ
servers this was accepted as indica-
lions of too early maturity of the plant
and of premature opening of bolls on
a large scale. At the end Of the week
showers were reported in southwest
Texas and opinion was divided ss to
their effect, some traders claiming
that they would materially injure the
grade of open cotton.
