The time IH at hand to IIHO up passe gauze even- ins gowns of any kind whatever so long as they are transparent. Veiled n"ects were seldom ever before HO much UHed as Just at this moment. \Vholo gowns are veiled , and tunic , coatu and waistH are bodily made of diaphanous fabrics. Any number of gauze coats are be ing made for late sprint ; gowns , and even old gauzy lingerie gowns are being turned Into them. The coarse llsh notn and open mesh weaves gen erally make up some of the smartest overdresses and tunics. Some such draperies are of rodln- Koto shape and entirely veil the nllk under them. Tea gowns of the order arc especially attractive. One made , for a brown-eyed woman had an orange silk foundation with an odd ! I coat of brown fish not embroidered with aluminum and turquoises. The uoat was oddly draped on each shoul der with a big turquoise button where folds from the back met similar folds from the front. The arrangement pro duced a deep "V" at the back which left the orange bodice unveiled , and the effect of the brown and orange with the cold tones of the turquoise and aluminum was distinctly origi nal. nal.In In some of the gowns which have come from the other side there seems to be a more scant use of material than ever. Certain extreme models so hug in at the feet that it Is a mys tery how their wearers walk or even move about In them. But certain other tendencies show a growing lik ing for more fullness , and now and then a skirt appears from authorita tive sources which shows definite tlare at the feet. It is not. however , to be understood that tills Hare Is very pronounced. It is only a hint of what may come later on. .A nale green satin gown has an evening coat that Is the apotheosis ot airiness. It Is made of chiffon in the same shade of green , and Is lined with pale pink chiffon cloth and again with silver not. It has a big square collar of cream colored Mechlin lace over the pink gauze , and is outlined with tiny pale pink banksia roses and foliage , the ( lowers and foliage being made of soft ribbon. Similar coats have bven seen at the opera in silks shot with silver or gold. WHY WOMEN TELL SECRETS. Givers of Confidences Expect Them to be Passed On. Washington , March 26. The rea son that women do not Keep secrets is because no one wants them kept , " alcl a society woman here today. "Women have realized this from the beginning and have never made the slightest pretense of secrecy , or at least only the pretense that was nec essary to give to a piece of news its piquancy as a secret. When one tells a secret one does like to feel that tl e person confided in will keep silent long enough , say two days , to .give one an opportunity to enjoy to the utmost the pleasure of telling one's own secrets to one's own friends. "For it is naturally vexatious to tell with great impresslveness and much secrecy an intimate thing concerning yourself only to discover that some one not half an hour ago had got in before you and stolen the fun of the lirxt telling. "Hut , after this , it is hardly compli mentary to feel that everyone is re maining silent because you asked them to. It Is not quite friendly. It raises the awful doubt in your mind f.hat jwhxps they were not interest ed In what you said and do not be lieve it would divert their friends. "That is just why women have de cided to blow to bits that absurd fal-1 laxy that reserve is ja. virtue. They I know -wlien an interesting tiling happens - . pens to them , and they know that every one would be so glad to hear It | Oist they almost have the right to bo told it. "Tho only trouble connected In any way with the matter Is that there aYe some people that really do not like to liavc their secrets told queer crea tures , like men , for Instance , and wo men have from time Immemorial got into what were most regrettable tan-1 sles because they could never bring themselves to the belief that these masculine souls wore the quaint ox- option they really wore and meant Nwhat they said about absolute secre cy. " A BARON'S WIFE AND HAPPY. Some Foreign Husbands Good , Baron ess De Graffenreld Says. New York , March 20. Baroness Leo Von Graffenreld , who Is a daughter of Ixjuis Stern , a wealthy New York mer chant , Is vlsltlng'hor parents. She Is accompanied by her husband. "I suppose Americans believe that because my husband and I are so toappy that ours Is an exception to the rule of International marriages , " continued the baroness. "Hut I know any number of marriages of American girls to foreigners that have turned out splendidly. In fact , It seems to' mo that the way our divorce courts are lilted with cases that much can be said to the discredit of 'home mar- rlagcH1 of American men and Ameri can women. "It seems to me that the trouble with many marriages of American girls Is with the girls themselves. There Is no doubt that no women In the world arc HO pampered and spoil ed by their hUHbands an our country women , and It IH because of the wo men's HelllBhnoss that they are fail ures as wives. As my husband says , the American men treat their women better , perhaps , than any men In the world , but they overdo it to the detri ment of the women That Is why there Is so much talk of the woman outsldo the home here ; that Is why they are taking up this suffrage fad ; that Is why they are closing up their homes and giving up domesticity in favor of hotel and apartment life. They have grown away from the nat ural responsibilities of women. Easter Was Beautiful Day. Master Sunday was a beautiful spring day in northern Nebraska and southern South Dakota.

Salter , who has been attending Mr. Custer , accompanied him to thfe station. Mr. Custer was feeling quite well and was conscious , but seemed nervous Just before he was being car ried out to the dray which took him to the station. The rare combination of an eminent- | y successful play , a scenic production of infinite grandeur and a cast of sur passing excellence , as in the case of David Belasco's "Girl of the Golden West , " in which he is presenting his own company at the Auditorium Tues day night , ought to turn the tide of local theatrical Interest very much In Its direction. A play by that rare genius , David Belasco , is in itself a special treat and should add attract iveness to a performance which prom ises to command the admiration and Interest of all classes of theater fre quenters. Two entire years at the Belasco theater , New York , Is about as strong an endorsement as could bo advertised , but such is a part of the brilliant record attained by Belasco's "Girl of the Golden West.

NORFOLK MAN SAW AETNA. A News Representative Describes SIcilian - cilian Volcanic Scenes. On an island In the straits of Mes sina In the Sicilian waters is a vol cano which has been active for many years but the natives even to this day have been cultivating their fields , attending their churches and schools and seeming not to know that any thing is occurring on top of the moun tain in the crater above them. This volcano when looked at by a News man four years ago was smoking and at Intervals throwing out ashes and fire. On one side almost up to the summit of the volcano green fields were being cultivated , little groves of green trees with pretty white houses and vineyards covered the entire slope of the volcano almost .ill the way to the edge of the waters where a quiet , happy white village in which contented people gossiped and seem ed joyful could be seen. The sun was shining on this lit tle village and the laughter from the children playing In the streets could be heard. All this was seen from on board , the North German Lloyd liner Lultpold bound for Me.ssina. This scene , however , did not , last long. The ship traveled to the other side of the mountain and struck a sight which so much contrasted the other side that many passengers , among them many Americans , showed their disappointment by loud exclamations. This side of the volcano was not covered with vineyards and pretty white houses and green fields. To the contrary , the entire side sloped sharply into the sea and lava could be seen slowly running down the vol cano , lending up volumes of sulphuric smoke of which the passengers of the boat got some benefit. The round top of the crater was much lower on the dangerous side than' It was on the side where the happy Sicilians were so seemingly happy. Some day the lava , working to the top of the crater witli more force than It was four years ago , ac cording to scientists on Mount Ve suvius who were asked about this volcano later , will have eaten its way through the top crust of earth and the happy little village will be no more. From this point Mount Aetna , snow capped , can be seen. On that day , however , the great mountain seem ed quiet with no sign of life as It has been recently , sending fortli rivers of lava and driving the peasants who have cultivated her sides for their existence for many years , from their little homes and destroying their fields , which can no more be culti vated. Girl Dragged to Her Death. Pierce , Neb. , March 28. Special to The News : Miss Mabel Mundorf , daughter of a Pierce county farmer , was dragged to death in the field by a horse Saturday afternoon.

Again the animal ran away , dragging the girl a half mile , by this rope. 1 Her back was broken and her skull fractured at the base. The girl died before Dr. Oelke arrived. There are seven brothers and two sisters. O. H. Mundorf is the father. Funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at the M. E. churca. Not Convicted of Horse Theft. Colomo Times : Joe and Clarence Foreman of Lake Andes , S. D. , came hero wtih their attorney , G , M. Cas per , of that place , and were arranged for preliminary trial on a complaint against them charging them' ' with stealing two horses from Eugene Stur- devant , eight miles northwest of Lam- ro last October. It seems the boys were visiting at the homo of Lev ! Trudell last fall , and about that tlmo some horses of Sturdevant's disap peared. One of the horses was recent ly found In possession of Joe Foreman at Lake Andes , and the Foremans claim that Willie Trudoll rode anoth er of the horses from their homo to Santec , Nob. , and this horse has not been recovered. Defendants ac counted for their possession of the horse by claiming that Joe traded a saddle to young 1 nuK'll for It , and that later ho ave Prudell $15 for the Bi'ddlo when the latter wad shy ot lunds. After a trail lasting until Wednes day at noon the boys were dismissed , as the justice deemed the evidence Insufficient to warrant holding them.
