the possibilities OF the situation. We
could never allow the Danish islands to
pass into any other hands than ours.
The European nation which should I'M
dertake to take possession of those is
lands right on the road to the canal and
| to make of them great naval stations,
would by that very act become an en-
envy of ours. We could submit to no
such thing as that. The Monroe doc
trine is great protection to the Inited
States. Men OF all parties-Democrats
Republicans and Populists-. without
distinction, adhere to that.
II am by no means sure that some
European nation perhaps one whose
navy is now receiving much rapid in
crease) will not test the Monroe doc
trine. We may be called upon to pro-
tect that doctrine in Brazil or in some
other South American country. l am
not conjuring up fancies, but believe
the way to preserve peace is to have
such navy as no power in the world
would care to encounter"
Mr.. Lodge did not think there was
anybody who did not believe in the
construction of navy powerful
enough to defend our coast line and
the Monroe doctrine. That was one
question upon which the American
people were agreed. He wanted the
navy department to be able to proceed
with the building of authorized ships
Already too much time had been lost.
If the Monroe doctrine shoulo be en-
dangered or if our coast should be
menaced we should be prepared. If
we were not prepared, he said, it would
be a weak excuse that we had been
engaged in throttling an eggregious
monopoly. He urged that no further
obstacles be placed in the way of the
navy's reconstruction.
In colloquy with Mr. Lodge Mr. Till
man said it was well known that the navy
of the United States was superior to that
of Germany
Mr.. Lodge, agreeing in part with Mr..
Tillman's statement, pointed to the great
increase that is now being made in the
German navy.
If the Senator thinks" said Mr. Lodge,
there is no danger to be apprehended,
fear he undertakes the Importance of
the subject-a subject to which l have
given much thought and consideration"

GOOD TASTE IN DRESS.

Good taste in dress is largely a
| matter of edu cati IN, and no lady can
afford to neglect this, no matter what
her station in life may be. A dress
| should accord with reason and good
judgment, bearing in mind that there
is such thing IS beauty of outline
of form that should be constantly
sought for and used so as to bring
out the results an artist would desire
and appreciate. In no other way
could these results be obtained, ex-
cept by careful education and train
ing in such matters.
There have been many attempts
made to get correct system whereby
all kinds of clothing could be cut for
general wear. There have been paper
charts, models, scales, folding and
sliding devices of every conceivable
kind, but none was successful.
There was no system for general use
| that could cut anything bevond a
plain waist lining and plain sleeve
until the invention of the Diamond
Garment Cutter, which was the first,
and is today the only practical and
successful method of cutting and fit
ting all kinds of garments worn. And
again, there is not an article in
America that has been introduced
into family use that gives as much
satisfaction, saves more time, trouble
and annoyance. and what is better
still-money-than the Diamond Gar
ment Cutter.
