being built, and four machine shops, each
2S5X75 feet, have been erected and stocked
with the latest tools. An American plate
stacking electric travelling crane, with
arms each 142 feet in length, is already in
operation, and four 7O0-foot berths for
vessels are being prepared. besides four
others ranging from $50 to 500 feet contem-
plated. The river will be dredged to per-
nit the launching of great ships and in
less than two years the works will be
ready to accept admiralty contracts.
An ice-making machine on board the
British battleship Centurion is the latest
subject of investigation in the British
navy. 1t was expected to turn out eighty
pounds of ice every twenty-four hours
a quantity just sufficient for the officers
messes, and it worked all right in cold
weather when there was no demand for
iced punches, sherry cobblers, etc. But
when the temperature rose to 50 degrees
the machine produced little ice and at s5
degrees it ceased to operate entirely.
Hence the inquiry and possible court-mar-
tial of some official through whose negli-
gence the officers on board the Centurion
have been deprived of cooling drinks while
on the China station.
A uniform system In helm command is
to be introduced in Germany Up to 1870
the method in the navy was that which
now exists in England and America, ard
at the order "Stenerbord ruder," the ship
would so to port (backboard), but now,
the same order will send the vessel to
starboard. In 1891 the North Cerroar n
Lloyd introduced new system usino H.
words "rechts-links" fright and Ieffl as
substitutes for stenerboard and bacL.

fact, for that always helps to keep a lead

The girls are still talking about the very
swell gowns worn at the CrOckett-Scott
wedding. l would hate to have to decide
which was the handsomest gown there
a no easy task-although 1 would be will
ing to confess to decided preference for
the magnificent jet and silver one worn
by Mrs. Gus Taylor. | do not believe that
ever saw any dress as elegant as that
cIinging. glittering gown that set off to
such splendid advantage the tall, straight
figure of the beautiful blonde wearer. AS
it is, the gown dazzled me so that I al
most forgot to look at the handsome white
hat, with it's magnificent white plumes,
that lent the finishing touch to the cos
tune.
While on the subject of hats 1 must al
low myself the luxury of indulging in
few abs and obs aprOpos of the pink hat
worn by Mrs. Joseph Tobin. 1t was
dream" I am aware that that is neither
a bright nor an original description, but it
is the only word that fits the exigences
of the case. Mrs. Tobin's hat was a most
delicate pink. 1t was shaped somewhat
like an old-fashioned poke bonnet; of
course moderated and trimmed with
nodding bunch of pink plumes that CO.
quettishly dropped over the edge of the
hat and cast delicate, rosy glow on the
face of the wearer.

The relatives of beautiful Mrs. Gene
We've Goad-Martin-Re are anxiously
awaiting letters that will bring them some
news about the newly annexed member
of the family and perhaps give them an
inkling of the reason of the hasty nup-
tials without the observance of the usual
formality of announcing the engagement.
None of the Goads know exactly who Mr..
Reilly is. They have had. however, from
Mrs. Hearst, who knows the gentleman,
some very comforting assurances concern
ing him. They are confident, however,
that Genevieve made no choice that might
be unworthy of her, her family and social
position. a generous welcome awaits the
young couple here.
Three more charming society girls havs
gone out into the world to join the vast

Miss Hilda has chosen decorating as the

Decorating was dying out until Miss

originality, artistic taste and power OF

1t is to be noted finally that the advocates of the

Western synpathies of the President. 1t is believed
that Roosevelt will cordially cooperate in procuring
the desired action by Congress. The outlook is GER
