new battleships had been named Con
etitution, after the old frigate Which
thrashed Britan's heretofore invi1lci

officer in the navy would have been
pleased. There is a strong feeling
that the names Of the ships which have
brought glory to the old navy as well
as to the new should be perpeutated
The practice followed at present Of
naming battleships. cruisers and
smaller craft in honor of states enc
cities is considered commendabe. but
naval officers as a rule declare that
there is nothing which will so foster
the pride of q crew in their ship as an
iilHstrous name
The Constitution is q name at once
sEmbolical Of the brilliant history of
the old navy and of the United States
Itself. It is felt that there will be no
more popular craft afoat than bat

naval officer, speaking of the matter.

Think Of what immense pride a crew
of the ship bearing the name of the

would not be hard to get men to enlist

their stems were in all lengths. Little

Modistes Devising Many Ways
to Trim Flare FlOunce.
The red, red rose is the motif in dress
trimmings. and the yellow rose and the
white one seem to have been forgotten.
The fact that all street skirts. and most
house ones. are trimmed with fare flounce
creates a samensss which is not desired
by the woman of fashion. To Obviate this
the modistes are devisinS many ways TO
trim this f1ounCe, which is so necessary as
a ripple around the foot. one of these is
the plated fiounce. Underneath each plait
runs a band of zebeline. while the fiounce
itself is in satin-faced cloth.
Another founce, for We must all look as
