"rd rather have that than bow,

at her reflection in the mirror again.

''No, / won't have bows. / suppose

And so it goes on for a half hour or
more. The dressmaker goes away, and
then comes another investigation before
the mirror. Mrs. Homespun asks half
dozen times: ''Now, don't YOU think

stick out too much behind? Doesn't it

When Mrs. Homespun appears in her
new dress, the sleeves are skin tight; a

another on behind, and any one can see
with half an eye that Mrs. Homespun

Naval Rank and Trades.

Few persons understand the matter
of grade and rank in the navy, although
many may be familiar with titles and
partly with their application. Officers
are divided into the - line" staff, -
marine and warrant officers. The
line includes, in order, the Admirals,
COmmOdores, Captains, Commanders,
uant-COmmanders, Lieutenants,
Ensigns and Midshipmen (the grade of
Master having been abolished by the
last Congress). The staff officers include
the engineer, medical and pay corps.
With the exception of the medical and
pay corps, all of the aforementioned
are graduates of the Naval Academy,
and, receiving their commissions direct
w from the President of the United
States, with the approval of the Senate,
are appointed for life. The ma
rine officers belong to a distinct
i've. corps, generally termed ''sea sol
diers,' and receive their commissions
from the Secretary of the Navy. They
are appointed from civil life, although
many members of that corps were at
one time Midshipmen and failed in their
examination. The warrant officers are
the boatswains, gQnnarS, carp an q
sail-makers. The b5stswaiils and gum
ners are generally promoted to those
positions from among the apprentice
bows Of the training ships. or from the
enlisted men. The sail-makers and
carpenters are appointed from civil
life
The petty officers form a lengtherred
list and are, in grade. equivalent to the
non-commissioned officers of the army.
They include the masteF-at-arms, ship $
eorporals. boatswajn's, gunnerss, ear
penter's and sail-maker,s mates quar-
