ders. Large, bell-shaped sleeves, with
sable to finish and jet above. A scroll
design of the jet was worked out on
each side of the front below the col
lar, with many loose ends of jet
beads falling nearly to the bottom of
the coat. The hat worn with this was
carried out in velvet, with sable trim
mings and duchess lace.
Fur was noticeable as trimming,
and even as complete garments, in
both coats and gowns. In fact, fur
is said to be "the thing in the modes
of the winter season, and the display
at the horse show but emphasized
this statement. There was one cos
tune that well illustrates this point.
1t was fashioned of the finest caracul,
a fur whose infinite possibilities of
smartness you begin to think that
you have never fully realized till
you see its satiny softness flow
ing out into perfectly hanging skirt,
which was further made notable by
encircling insertion bands of black
silk Russian net, through whose open
work meshes comes the simmer OF
the white satin beneath. On the
| blouse bodice the net formed a series
of stripes on the fur, and, by the way,
there was a method in it's decorative
detail, for this particular and novel
form of trimming has been chosen in
order to afford ventilation to the fur
costume and prevent it from becom-
! ing too warm. For further finish
there was a scarf of black panne
loosely knotted in the front of the
blouse bodice, it's ends being tipped
with gold.

Fortune" or the construction of Capt.
Nemo's submarine ship, the Nautilus"
The building of the namesake of
Iowa's capital is not more remarkable
than the stories referred to, and the
baptism of the ship by Miss Frances
West, of 'Des, Moines, in the presence
of Gov. Shaw and large party from
that city, will give the occasion up-to-
date realism not possible in the books
of the noted French writer.
The Des Moines will be about the
size of the Raleigh and the Cincinnati,
which was designed when the craze
for speed at all costs had reached it's
maximum. The Des Moines and her
sisters will be "stayers" rather than
"fyers." Instead of the Raleigh and
Cincinnati's required speed of 10 knots,
they will have only the sober-going
gait of 161h knots, which, is, however,
likely to be II in actual service. This
reduction of two knots in speed makes
it possible to reduce the required
horsepower in the new designs to 4,500
as compared with the 10000 of the
Raleigh and the Cincinnati. This
means less than half the weight Of
propelling machinery, and, of course,
a very great reduction in space. The
weight and space gained will be util-
lied in the new cruisers for coal and
stores. -
One other remarkable thing about
this important new cruiser is the big
triumph which Rear Admiral Con-
structor Hichborn wins for his idea
of sheathing ships bottoms with
wood, covered outside with copper.
to prevent the rapid growth of weeds
and barnacles which so sadly re-
duces vessels speed, especially in
the warm waters of the Atlantic and
Pacific. For many years Admiral
Hichborn, while chief constructor,
stood almost alone in his advocacy
of sheathing, but persistent argu-
ments, combined with many object
lessons from the reports of our ships
in service which confirmed his argu-
ments in every particular, have over
come the strong prejudice of con-
servatism, and not only these cruis-

by congress, including three first
class battleships and three first-class
armored cruisers, are to be sheathed

|, The wood material used in the con-
struction of the hull will be reduced
to a maximum. All the bulkheads on
the gun and berth decks will be of
metal, and they will each be fitted with
a pilot house on the spar deck built
entirely of nonmagnetic metal. Where
it is found necessary to use wood for
any purpose, it will be treated with
the electric fireproofing process before
being worked. A water-tight deck
covered with one-half inch plate will
be worked from stem to stern, the
sides sloping down to three feet be-
low the water line, and the fat or mid
ship portion rising 10 inches above the
same. This will be on the line of the
berth deck for the greater part of the
length, but towards the ends it will
slope down. On top of the watertight
deck, at the sides, belt of celebrating
material will be worked, covering the
Waterline for the whole length of the
ship. All of the propelling machine
ry, steering gear, and magazines will
be below the watertight deck. The

Horne~ Made Gowns
from Partisan Models
We Add the Finishing Touches to the Designs
of Partisan Artists.

noticeable gowns bore the Partisan
stamp. Not that they were Paris
made, for of these there were very
few, but they were originated in
Paris, and with touch or two of
originality in the way of trimming
had reproduced Partisan winter mod
els.
The coats attracted quite as much
attention as the gowns, as well they
might. One that was especially no.
ticeable was striking full length
carriage coat made of cardinal red
broadcloth, and trimmed with red
panne velvet and stitched with black
silk in fancy way. It was a Partisan
design supplemented by the stitching,
which was great addition to the
original, of which I was so fortunate
as to see picture. The original gar
ment lacked the finish the black silk
stitching gave to the New York copy.
The coat had large pointed bertha
that fell over the top of the sleeves,
with long ends in front, ornamented
with stitching and large black velvet
buttons. A high Medici collar of Per-
sian lamb fur, with the Persian lamb
forming square yoke. Very large,
loose, bell-shaped sleeves, with the
velvet and stitching to finish in deep
cuff. The coat was fitted in at the
back, with an under plat that fared
half way.
Another coat that was of more
extravagant order, though not so
startling, principally because of the
lack of brilliant color, was one made
of brown velvet and trimmed with
white velvet, sable and jet. It fell to
about half way below the knees, and
SO revealed the handsome gown of
fawn broadcloth at the bottom. It
was made with a sack front and a
rather close fitting back. A yoke eff
feet of white velvet in large, loose
tucks, finished at the outer edge with
black jet in a scroll design. Below
this was circular founce of the vel.

around the collar and over the shout

otism was over they would have gone
back to Paris had they not have found
it quite as easy to secure equally as
exclusive modes in America. Ameri-
can genius had made the most of the
opportunity offered them at the time
when the wealthy patrons of fashion
had wished to display their patriot
ism and demonstrated their ability to
please.
But, while we boast of American
made gowns, and point with pride
to the fact that the money formerly
spent in Paris is now being spent at
home, we cannot fully overlook the
fact, much as we would like to-, that
it is to Paris we still look for our
ideas. The difference between the
present and the past is that to-day it
is the dressmakers and tailors who
travel to Paris, rather than the pur-
chasers of the gowns. They go there
to make a systematic study of the
Paris styles, and bring back with
them the fundamental ideas that are
incorporated into each seasons
gowns. Our gowns may be made in
New York, in Chicago, in any other
American city or town, the details
of trimming may be our own, or the
dressmaker whom we employ, but the
real foundation still comes from
Paris, which is still the center of
fashion.
On the other hand, we send to
Paris many of the details that are
successfully employed there in the
designing of gowns. While we copy
the fundamental ideas of the seasons
styles the Partisan dressmaker is not
above taking from us many of the
novelties of decoration, for which we
are becoming somewhat noted.
The New York winter season opens
with the opening of the horse show.

by a plasterer who thought he had
he managed to balance the generals
horse on it's hind feet.
The statues in this country have,
in many instances, been msde by plas-
terers, waxWOrkers, tombstone cut
ters and tramp sculptors. In order to
live up to the contracts and spend
as little time as possible between the
time of receiving the commission and
getting the check for the finished fig
ures, some curious makeshifts have
been adopted by these fertile sculp-
tors
In certain city one of these men
was given commission to execute
a statue showing fireman rescuing
a child. In short time the work
was finished, but when the piece
reached the foundry it was discovered
that both of the child's legs were left
legs. Those having the matter in
hand were in no little quandary for
some time, but the shifty artist final
~ remedied the defect by replacing
one of the left legs with the right leg
from an old neglected statue of an
other child. By this happy expedient
the group was in place in plenty of
time for the unwilling. The piece
was unanimously accepted by the
committee and the tiremen were more
than pleased.

Then came a hue and cry regarding
the patronizing of home industries.
The greatest of this came at about
the time of the war with Spain, when
American women of fashion wished
to make a display of their patriotism

they very soon demonstrated to him.
1t was quickly proven that his sense
of proportion was very much out of
plumb. In order to make this fact
plain, the commissioners took the
trouble to go home and measure with
"a tape measure the members of their
own families. Of course, after this
showing, there was nothing for the
eminent sculptor to do but to with
draw all advice as PEACEFULLY as posi-
BILE. AS a matter of record, the con-
tract was let to cheaper man; but
when the figures were sent to the foun-
dry the proprietors of that institution
refused to cast them, so amateurish
was the work. The matter became
noised abroad in the public prints, and
by some happy chance reached the ears
of the authorities, who refused most
tof the statues on the strength of the
general rumor. The others were
placed in position on the field, where
they will doubtless remain until the
state or national Ruination park is es-
tabished.
