the thinnest materials, and if the gown

IN MANDARIN YELLOW.
A breakfast frock just imported for
a July bride was of mandarin yellow
Ginity with trimmings of white and
yellow footing. A frilled gored skirt
and an unlined surplice bodice COM
prised the model and anything lovelier
than the get up could not be mag
ined.
The skirt was full, with that UNI
brella fulness which fits the hips with
out wrinkle and shows f1ouncing pet
ticoats at every movement. At the
bottom there were five narrow kilt
plaitings surmounted by a little quill
ling of yellow footing nesting in one
of white.
The fronts of the surplice bodice,
which ended in long scarf ends, were
to cross a he bust. making a V-shaped
neck and tie at the waist in the back
in a soft bow. The white and yellow
quilting also edged these completely,
but with this exception, there was no
other trimming on the bodice itself.
On the other hand, the three-quarter
bishop sleeves were nothing but trim
ming At the top a close f1Sting cap,
about six inches deep, was shirred
in the puff between tiny rows of the
footing quilting. Below this the puff
was crossed in great squares by foot

FOR SUMMER BREAKFASTS.

The lounging clothes of the present
season are more charming than ever,
and are yet Of a delightful simplicity.
They comprise tea gowns, matinees,
simple wrappers for bedroom use, and
dainty costumes, in two pieces, called
breakfast frocks, that all the world
may see.
The breakfast frocks are made of
figured and striped muslin, Indian
dimities and lawns, and are trimmed
often with a profusion of lace and
ribbon.
They combine a gored skirt, with one
or three narrow lace edged ruff1es, and
a loose bodice made on the matinee
order. This is girded gracefully and
trinity at the waist with a ribbon
belt. which finishes at the front or
left side with a bow and streamers.

of lace and surmounted by a ribbon

preventive and remedy. In Mexico.
Guatemala, on the Isthmus of Panama

it's superlative efficacy, and has re-
ceived the recommendation of the med

The Inflated Saratoga, an e!ghteen-suh
ship. after performing brilliant SER
vice on the high seas, sailed forth up
IN the great ocean and disappeared lot
ever from all human knowledge. What
We know of her is briefly summed up
In a few sentences. After capturing
three English prizes she was intercept
ed ON her way to Philadelphia Win
them by the BItish seventy-fous-suh
shin OF the line intrepid, and after
long fight she escaped from her heavier
adversary. No further word from the
Saratoga was ever received, and no
signs of her wreckage was ever dis
covered. She probably foundered at
sea in gale, but she never lett anyone
| behind to tell the tale.
This was in 1850, and the next loss CT
a similar character occurred twenty
years later. The thirty-six-gun frigate
Insurgent, commanded by Captain Pat
rick Fletcher was originally under
the French flag. but after she was cap
tured by the Constellation OF the Is
! land OF Nevis, shs sailed under the
American flag unit, the end of her short
career She had sealed orders to sail
from the Chesapeake capes out to sea
but after she started on her easterly
course she went forth to her mysteri-
GUS doom. No word from any slip
brought tidings Of the Insurgent. She
disappeared from the world as com.
nletely as IL swallowed up by whale
No one on board of her was ever saved
to give official confirmation of the story
of her loss.
About a month after this sad occur
renee the fourteen-gun brig Pickering
met with a similar fate, she was cru!s
ing off Guadeloupe, with Master Com
mandant Benjamin Hitler In charge
when q severe storm arose and sweep
the seas. 1t is generally supposed TIA
the vessel succumbed to the heav!

along the coast, but as SO many YES
sells were lost during this gale her
was no certainty of identifying them

The loss Of the Wasp followed this
disaster The mystery about this
handsome naval fighter Is generally ia
miliar to all readers of American his
tory. Her exploits on the water after
her first launching before the time OF
her strange disappearance were SO brill
liant that every schoolboy knows about
them. Within a period Of f1ve months
the Wasp took fifteen English mer-
chantmen, valued at nearly a quarter
OF a million of dollars, and fought sew
eral stubborn battles with naval YES
sells of her own size and strength. On
Oct l. 1914, the Wasp hailed the Swed-
ish bark Adonis, and took on board
two Of the surviving officers OF the old
Essex after her destruction in Valpa-
raise harbor. and then passed on into
the dark mystery which has never been
solved. That was the last intelligence
ever brought to any port by any ship
concerning the veteran fighter and VIC
tor. Her fate viii ever remain an un-
explained puzzle.

laconic expression is familiar to all
sea followers, and it contains world
OF meaning il rightly understood. There
have been ships that have gone down
in battle with the flags flying defiantly
at the mast head, and others that have
battled bravely againstIhe adverse eIe-

sunk within sight OF land; but to be
lost at sea, with no official mention of
the disaster because of lack Of all de-
tail, is to meet fate hardly deserved.
Early in the history OF our navy such
