The most remarkable part of
Admiral Dewey campaign is the
fact that in starting out he left
his base of supplies. He could
not supply himself or reft at any
neutral port. He had to succeed
or suffer a complete defeat. He
had to live on the enemy or be
annihilated. He had only linn
tied supply; he had to move and
act promptly. That's just what
he did. His only alternative was
to sail for the Pacific coast. This
would be following the course Of
the Spanish fleet if it were to sail
for Cadiz. His prompt movement
on the enemy was case of that
instantaneous decision and good
Judgment which characterized all
great commanders. He knew the
danger and the penalty of failure
and accepted the responsibility
with alacrity and success. He
was operating 5000 miles away
from hia nearest port and yet
took his chance. Milwaukee Jour

There are double breasted and single

corded silk. The coat lining should
match the cloth in this case, but OF

and then the waist may match the lin-

One pretty style Of shirt waist Is
tucked in groups running around and
turned back in front in pointed revers
faced with white satin. OF course any
contrast can be used for the revers, but
in any case the chemsette and collar

The Club Fad In Lent.

Shout it not from the house tops, but
the sober truth is that Lent has become
in New York the gayest social season OF
the year. Balls and large dances are i'll

Jolly miniature, informal dances-"ever
so much more fun, according to the
girls-dinner parties innumerable, the
atricals, classes and clubs morning. att

corner of society these past few weeks
there has been pronounced undercur-
rent. In the midst Of dance and tea girls
have been putting their heads together
organizing classes and clubs, and every
Lenten morning. afternoon and evening
is m0rtgaged. Not a taste is there that
cannot be suited. The Lenten clubs are
of all kinds, and they bolster up al!
sorts of fads. The most Of them are for
girls alone, but not few meet late in
the afternoons and invite men in for the
