are woven so loosely that the interstices
measure the eighth of an inch across
and when placed over taffeta silk, the
effect is very pretty. Elegant gowns
are now ordered entirely in velvet, but
much that passes for velvet, is really
velutlna, since the deception is perfect.
Velutina corduroy also is thought very
stylish and a gown of it in green just
ordered by literary woman of fine ap-
pearance and good taste in dress, shows
a plain skirt and round corsage with
deep collar of velutina in a darker
shade. Another quite elegant dress
also in green, is of fine cloth made
with close Eton jacket corsage, the
fronts of the jacket cut in scallops
bound with braid and opening over
yellow silk vest The sleeves are

The fashion of draping a light fabric
over satin or silk, is not only pretty,
but quite economical, since thereby
worn garments may renew their youth
and come forth perhaps, more attrac-
tive than ever.
1t is curious to note the devices re-
sorted to in order to conceal the meagre
outlines of a thin arm. In addition
to the wrinkled sleeve, new examples
show rows of braid set in close sue

are usually reserved for receptions or

TO INCREASE THE NAVY.

1t is gratifying to note that the Naval
Committee of Congress Is evincing Il
commendiblc zeal in it's desire TO in
crease the strength of the navy. 1t Is
understood that from four TO six new
battleships will be provided for in the
coming appropriations; also several
torpedo boats, and the enlistment OF
something over Il thousand men. In adj
dition, appropriations are to be made for
the manufacture of guns. The WASH
inSton Times says that IL is expected
that this increase Of our navy will be
continued until ii Will have assumed
proportions that will give II Il command
ing status among the navies of the
world. 1t is OF the opinion, however,
that the increase should not be drawn
out over too long period. but ought
ton. shat a reasonable number of
| ships can always be in reserve to be
put in commission when it becomes ne
cessary 10 bring in others To be re-
paired, or when ii Is thought advisa BILE
to put them out OF commission for a
time. This policy is dictated by true
economy. and is pursued Ly all the
great maritime powers"
In Keeping UP the increase OF the navy
there Is one thing which the Department
and Congress should not lose sight Of,
and that is that the Government yards
should have the preference i'm the build
ing Of the ships The country has
gone to an enormous expense in equip
ping the navy yards and II is folly to
neglect them as they are The Norfolk
| Navy Yard is one OF the finest TO he
found anywhere, and the mechanics ac-
lcustomcd to working there are among
| the most skilled i'm the country. There
| are others which also have their claims.
and the Government should see To il
that they all have proper support. If
the Government is to depend mainly up
on private yards for the construction Of
| its ships the result will be that its own
yards will soon be in 4 state of decay

PARTISAN BITTERNESS.

Some time ago, not many months
since, the country concluded that the
New York Mail and Express had ex-
perienced u change of heart towards

stances IL would try 10 be
fair when dealing with questions in
volring the right of its political OPP
ponents TO live. This was hard thing
for the Mail and Express to do to be
sure. and many thought that IL would
fail, just as it has done. as will be seen
from the following extract taken from

IT'S EFFECTS rpoN REAL. ESTATE,

The new York Herald of recent dase,
in rererrin:, to the success of the new
loan says that hundreds of millions
OF dollars are seeking investment at less
than four per cent interest. and adds:
only n few days have elapsed since
the result of the competition fSr the
Government obligations was made
known. and yet in the short space
several pending transa ctions have been
closed which would nave failed had the
lids been only little more than the
500. 000, 900 asked. These deals depend
cd on the placing Of mortgages at low
rates of interest and for proportionatcly
large sums. With n stringent money
market II would have been Impossible
to sell the mortgages, and the sales
negotiated would have fallen through.
AS II is however. big loans have been
