Fancies of the Fair.

Elton Jackets of fur and cloth jackets with
wide fur revers complete the most fash
ionable skating costumes, which are often
made of velyeteen or corduroy.
Velvet is the most fashionable material
for short street coats. They are edged with
fur or plain, but the front shows full vest
of some soft lace or light-colored silk.
One of the latest Partisan novelties in
seal is a cape full and short enough to
meet the waist line, and trimmed around
little way from the edge with lines of gold
braid put in three groups of four, three and
two.
Coat bedicas OF light fancy broeade silks
are worn for al, erneon dress with dark
skirts OF cloth or silk. They have the full
soft vests of lace or chiffon short rip
pied basque lined with a plain color, and
a narrow belt of velvet or jeweIed gallon
across the back and sides
Gold braid and gold and silver threads
are a telling feature OF dress decoration
this season, and boleros and entire waists
are made of cloth of gold. Military braid
is employed for belts, with gold clasp
in rocco designs. Gold effects in any form
are much sought after,

With Dead-BIack Gowns.

With dead black gowns one appears very
smartly when wearing long full ruffles Of
cherry-colored chiffon. under white lace at
the wrists, and women in mourning wear
crisp white muslin wrist ruffIes extending
far over the knuckles. Indoors the heaviest
mourning is prettily relieved by having
small square cut out in the front OF the
gown, filling thisin with shirred white mus
lin, and completing the neck decoration by
a high turnover muslin collar. This takes
the somber black away from the face. and
yet by no means detracts from the appear
anee Of mourning

of anything that could warrant it. There

A few days later A dmiraI Ramsay will
take leave of the service. He has for sew

He is in perfect health and full of life and
energy. He has been engaged in some big
pieces of naval construction and possibly
the criticism of the Texas, Which was
built under his direction, has been in part
responsible for the report of objection to
retirement. 1t may be that he wishes a
chance to show that he is not at fault in
that matter by superior work in some
other.

1t is noticeable that the smart new gowns
for any and every occasion are now lined
with very much lowered taffeta silk, and
that over dressy silk or chiffon waists OF
every style women are using little bolerO

with line OF broad cream HonitOn lace

PROMOTION N THE NAVY
Retirement Of Three Admjrals
This Spring Opens the Ranks.
TALK OF CHANGING THE LAW
Admiral Ramsay Says That the Re-
lief Is Not Unwelcome to Himself
and Admirals Walker and Brown,
and They Are Not Asking Any
LegislatiOn-Sti to Be Useful.

The retirement Of three admirals of the
United states navy within the next six
months has given rise to a good deal OF
gossip regarding the law which makes this
step compulsory for those officers at the
age Of sixty-two. Two United states Sen
ators in consequence have given notice
that at the proper time they will intro
duce measures which will extend the
date OF retirement in the navy to the same
limit observed in the similar rank in the
army. This is at the age ofsixty -fouT years
The admirals would thus be given an addi-
tiOnal two years of active service.
Also it has been. stated that a move
ment is on foot TO secure "a vote of thanks
for each of the gentlemen to be retired
and thus prolOng their stay on the active
list until death or voluntary retirement
Tie three men in question are Admirals
Brown, Walker and Ramsay. They are all
in excellent health. and capable. so far as
anybody can now judge, OF many years OF
service. They are regarded as the best
men in the higher ranks of the navy, and
it has been stated that all very much
object to being retired at this time.
The effort to prevent it is blocked. how
ever, by opposition from the lower ranks
where promotion will follow when they
20 out. The only arrangement that would
be satisfactory all around it is said would
be to increase the number OF admirals
OF this there is not much likelihood at
a time when everything possible is being
done To cut down expenses. and even so
small an item would meet objection ON
that score

Admiral Ramsay Content.

Admiral Ramsay said to a Times re-
porter. who called on him last night, that
he thought the report of dissatisfaction
with the law a mistake, Certainly, he
thought it good, and he believed it was
generally SO Considered in the navy The
limit fixed was about the same as in other
nations; in fact, in several it was earlier.
At the age OF sixty-two most men had
done their share OF work. and deserved a
rest. Frequently they were broken in
health. III it happened that some at that
age were in excellent health and fit for
a good many years activity. that did not
change the rule, and ought not to change
the law.
Retirement, he said, need not end mans
usefulness. There are many ways in which
he might engage in work Of great public
advantage, and he was not forbidden to
undertake any private business except in
one direction. The law passed by the last
session forbidding retired officers TO take
employment with firms having contracts
with the government he regarded as rather
hard 1t took away a legitimate means of
making a living If the officer did not re-
sign, and If he did resign i t deprived him
of his retired pay, to which he had as
good right as any who are enjoying it.
Still, this bore on the younger men rather
than upon the admirals 1t appeared to
have been specially aimed at two Officers
now with the steel companies In one of
these cases the retirement after thirty
years OF service had been for physical
defect, no fault at all of The officer Under
present rules, he would not be admitted To
the navy at all, but as he had been ac-
cepted and served so long. it was hard
snip to deprive him of his best employment.
The two Iaen referred TO are Lieut.. J. F.
Meigs, at TIN. Bethlehem Steel Works, and
Lieut. c. A stone, at the Carnegie works,
at Pittsburg. Lieut. Mcigs has already re-
signed, losing his government pay.
