SHIPS RANGE OF ACTION.


"The pictlres in some of the burnt
orange newspapers of battieships in ac
ton are abo ut as funny as the Japanese
idea of prospective" said naval off,
Ger to Star man. "These pictures rep
resent the opposing ships blazing away
at each other with 13-inch rifles at a
range of about 100 feet, and the artists
certainly work up the thing to make ii
look terrific enough, in all conscience.
lis wonder to me they don't represent
the crews OF the opposing ships in the
act of using graphing irons, as they did
in engagements at close quarters in the
days of the old 70-gun frigates. As a
matter of fact, if either battleship in an
engagement between vessels of to-day
got within such range of another, or
anything like it, it would simply be a
matter of the first shot. One big shell
delivered at such 4 range would leave
cniy the debris of the struck ship float
ing on the surface of the water. Mod
ern ships of war are not devised to get
within any such range of each other in
action. The nearest that any of the OPP
posing ships in the great naval battle
ON the Yalu got to each other was a
trifle under two miles, and what one
battIeship can do TO another at that
range is something beyond calculation.
The naval engagement of this era is
very largely a matter of fmaneuvering--
of presenting the smallest possible tar
get to the guns of the enemy's ships,
and OF forcing the enemy to present
their biggest hull to the rnge-fnders.
When the commander of a ship in the
coming engagements can contrive to
get in his work on the enemy's vessels
while only pointing with his nose in
their directidn-leaving them practical
~ only razor's edge target-he is
liable to eat them up. But while there
is still drill in the United States navy
called 'repelling boarders,' the drill is
only retained in the manual for the
sake of exercising the men, and the
only boarding that will be done in the
coming fights will be done by prize
crews, taking possession of beaten
ships, after the latter have struck theiI
colors. Washington Star.

Whereupon the bridegroom began to
argue about it, insisting that Yes" was
quite sufficient for the purpose, and

Tie Latest In Stylish Costumes fol
Ladies' Devoted to
Dress.

The shepherdeSs hat is one of the
new shapes for the coming summer.
II appears in fine chips in various pref
ty colorings, and in fancy lace and
zephyr braids and Milans in black. 1t
has low crown and medium wide briIn
and what gives ii its name is the odd
crook-shaped curve of the hat at th4,
back, first curling up, then turning
down again, and beneath this pretty
arch are placed clusters of violets, APP
pie blossoms, shaded roses or yari-col-
cred tulips, intermixed with braids of
Rne green foliage.
The skirts of all tailor gowns are
plain with exceptions now and then
like stitched straps trimmed with
tailor buttons, or with deep hems
turned up on the outside, and covered
with rows of braid or silk stitching.
The jackets that accompany these sim
pie skirts are made to look very dressy
by open fronts with which are worn
any number of fancy vests, change and
change about, thus varying the APP
pearance of the costume constantly by
the use of the wholly different fabrics
which form these natty and stylish tot
lets.
The most popular of the new bustles
are light, pliable and diminutive.
Black and white gowns for demi-
dress wearare extremely popular, while
a skirt of black satin looks well, and is

frills edged with the narrowest white
satin ribbon are used to trim the skirt
at the hem. This decoration is re-
peated in pointed yoke form on the bod
ice and in triple vandykes on the
sleeves, the yoke proper being of white
satin veiled with jetted net.
Natty little Eton jackets still appear
as portions of the gown on newly inn
ported models, those in velvet, cloth, drap
d'ete, repped silk, ETC., to be worn with
a skirt to match and shirt waist of
Roman striped taffetas, sillk-dotted Lib
erty satin, tartans of brilliant coloring
in gros-grain, and satin weaves or of
plain shot surah. The familiar shape ia
retained for most of these, the greater
portion of which are slashed or cut out
low in the neck all around, revealing
the upper part of the shirt waist. A
newer effect is given to others by add.
ing short, narrow postillion back like
that of close habit-bodice.
Gray gowns are greatly in evidence
this season, many wholly gray, but
formed of combination of two hand
some fabrics like repped silk and drap
d'ete; but more youthful-looking cos
tunes show melange of nuns or opal

patronized by any New York woman !
Not she! She answered in mon0syl-
| lables.
Did she enjoy New York, Mrs. Bon
selle asked.
"Not very much," Mrs. Gwinn said.
"She don't ask that New Orleans wom-
an if she likes New York." she added to
herself.
Mr.. Bonselle, tall, his dark hair lit
tie gray, his evening dress setting of
his fine figure to the best advantage,
came in following his guests, who
spread all over the large rooms. Three
or four went straight to the New Or
leans woman, who was also perfect
stranger. Mrs. Bonselle arose, and
looked smilingly at her husband.
Il will leave Mr.. Bonselle with you.
Mrs. Gwinn," she said. II know YOU
must have many mutual friends to talk
over"
George Bonselle was in the habit OF
taking care of his own, and with an in
dignant feeling that Mrs. Gwinn had
been made his own by no voliticn of his,
he arose and offered her his arm.
"You haven't seen my orchids, Mrs
Gwinn," he said. Suppose we look al
| them"
The conservatory was dimly lighted
George Bonselle did not know why he
had brought Mrs. Gwinn in here. He
certainly had nothing sentimental to
say to her. He wondered if he ever had
said anything sentimental to her. He
looked at her badly dressed heaviness,
and critically and coolly concluded that
he never in all his life had-seen a woman
so utterly and entirely out of her ele-
ment. He concluded that he must bt
a very much abused man for life to have
gone so badly with him that he had
been bored into making companion
for many spare hours of this woman
He laughed little grimly at what he
thought had been stroke of diplomacy
upon Laura's part.

she and Mary and Alice Martin talked
the matter over, and concluded that ths
easiest way to open my eyes was te
stand her up in row with people Of
our own sort and let me see her imper
fections."
Mrs. Gwinn admired the flowers in Z
perfunctory way. She had never seer
anything like the orchids, but not real
izing how rare they were she was afraid
to say so. They walked once through
and as they came to the end saw an

the way they had tangled things, he
ard Laura. They had started out so
happily. What was it all about? Here
was he making fool of himself. and
here was she, showing the world what a
fool she had married. What comedy
it all was! He looked up. Directly in
his vision, within six feet, stood his
wife and Buxton White, her hand in
his, her eyes downcast.
A chill went down George Bonselle's 3
body. His wife!
Il heard the whole story tonight,
Laura" White was saying. "Alice Mar
tin told it to me, partly at the dinner
table and partly afterward. knew
that you were not happy. Your face
told me that; but came home to hear
that you and your husband are as
strangers-that he not only neglects
you, but insults you-that tonight,
here in this house, your house, you have
felt obliged to receive person you
should never know, merely to save him
from the tongues of the town. You
cannot care for this man."
Mrs. Bonselle was not looking down
now. Her eyes were up, and her hands
were her own. There was the dignity
of the offended wife in her face.
"Mr. White, the fact that you were
my oldest friend allowed you some lib
critics, but nothing could ever justify
you in speaking to me as you have just
done. Whatever my relations to my
husband may be is not matter to be
commented on by anyone, in my hear
ing at least. My husband is my hus-
band, and his friends are my friends. y
George Bonselle walked composedly
through the door and drew his wife's
arm through his. She looked up in his
face, startled out of her customary
calm. He saw look in her eyes, a
look that said things he had thought ST.
fenced forever.
~Mr. White" he said, with his GUS
tomary grave suavity, II am sure yo,I
will excuse Mrs. Bonselle. fear her
guests win wonder what has become OF
