Fierce Bulls Charge Crap
Game in Center Of Arena
But Matadors Roll Away
to Safety; Fighters End
Lives of Animals by
Using Mouths to Place
Banderillos.

Brownsville. Tex, Aug. 4.-Bull
fight fans of the lower border, and
there are many Americans among
them. as we'll as Mexicans, were treat
ed to a spectacle at the Plaza de
Toros in Matamoros recently, which
was unquestionably the most daring,
sSillful, and at the same time comical
performance ever witnessed in bull
ring in Northern Mexico.
Bull fight burlesquers, whose skill
as matadors, capadors, bonderilleros
would equal that of the best Spain
ever produced, kept the large crowd
thrilled with excitement and con-
vulsed with laughter while they
burlesqued the customs and actions OF
the regulation bull fighters.
Bulls Not BWrlesquers.
The bulls. however. were not burles-
quers. They were of the Spanish fight
ing breed, fierce and full of fight
but the agility and daring of the
burlesquers finally conquered them,
and the last bull was killed while one
of the capadoras was playfully pat
ting its neck and another hanging onto
its tail, the matador delivering the
fatal thrust and then gracefully bow
ing to the plaudits of the audience.
Standing on a chair in the center
of the arena, one of the capadors at
tracted the attention of the bull, and
when it charged waited until the ami
NAL was almost upon him, and ther
leaped over its back.
A matador and banderilero started
a crap game with the bull as an inter
ested onlooIer. and when the animal
became tired of the sport and charged
the players, they nimhly rolled over
backward and allowed the bull to pass
between them.
They would seize the animal by its
horns as it charged them, swing them
selves upon its back. ride around the
arena and leap off to bow to the APP
plause of the crowd.
Places Barbs With Teeth.
One of the most daring feats of the
burlesquers. which brought thrill TO
the most hardened of the bull fight
fans, was that of placing banGerillos
in a manner which was never before
seen in bull ring. Holding two of
the banderillos (barbed sticks about
two feet long) in his teeth, the bull
fighter planted both in the shoulders
of the bull as the animal charged past
him.
The average bull fighter thinks he
has ACCOMPLISHED n great feat il be is
able to plant both the barbs when they
are held at arms length, and how the
burlesquer planted the banderilios and
escaped death is still a mystery to
many of the old followers of the
Mexican national pastime.

WOMAN Of VENUS
BEAUTY BECOMING
FADDISH FEMME
Sharming BuStS Give Way to
UnduIating Hips, Declares
Dress Expert.

Bu United Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-American wo-
men are selling out their beauty to
the style mongers.
Dressing to the dictates of fashion
is running the feminine figure.
Charming busts are giving way to
undulating hips and the Venus woman
has become a faddish femme.
This was the substance of an inter
view today with Ralph NIoni. instruc
tor in women's dress designing at the
Chicago Academy of Fine Arts.
1.-THE American woman has fallen
prey 10 the French dressmaker and
is sacrificing her beauty to the fads
and foibles of fashion" declared NGoni,
who teaches that dressing is an art,
and each women a canvas to be made
or marred by the right strokes of de
sign.
It is not for the fashion arbiters to
say what a woman should wear, &C
cording to Moni.
Each woman has her own problem
or dress to solve, depending on the
shape of her figure" declared the style
expert.
Fat women. for example, should
never wear bright colors or tight
clothes" he said. They accentuate
their fairness. But when the fashion
kings in Paris decree that lurid col
ors and skin tight dresses are the
vogue the fat ladies are the first to
fall in with the dictum-
Stout women can look thinner and
prettier by wearing Iong-lined gowns,
suBdued colors and by avoiding orna-
mentation on the hip or hem lines.
Slender women ON the other hand
should wear clothes that accentuate
the lines of the figure.
Beauty Prevented
THE long loose snnker skirt with
belt draped around the hip line pre-
vents the beauty of a thin woman, en-
phasizing the hips which are anything
but beautiful
Passing of the corset is taking the
Venus out Of the feminine figure, &C
cording to Moni. who recommends a
corset for every woman.
THE old iron stave models are not
condemned" said Moni, and every
woman should wear at least a fur
lined corset from the waistlIne to the
hips.
Checking corsets," he continued
is a fad that is developing large
unduiating hips at the expense of
Eood-lOOking bUsts.
Women should study their best
points and adapt present day modes in
dress-the result would be a nation Of
welI-dressed beauties
