British battleships come high. The
outlay for one that is now under way
Fill be $7,5O0,000. This is a great deal
more than the most expensive of our
warships cost. In fact, it is nearly
three times the amount expended to
construct and equip the Kearsarge, as
fine a type of fighting machine as is
now afioat. Some of the vessels being
constructed for our navy will cost con-
siderably more than did the Kearsarge,
but none will approach the British fig

Eugene Mccarthy, who is only %
years of age, ran for the assembly in
New York last fall and was elected. This
was largely due to the effort of Miss
S. M Goodwine, school teacher, who
made a personal canvass of the district
in support of Mr.. Mccarthy and went
with him on his speaking tours. Such
devotion has its reward. Miss Good
wine will spend the coming winter at
Albany, the wife of Eugene Mccarthy.

Mckinley will probably be abandoned.
Instead of this tribute to the chief
executive during whose administration

to erect a Mckinley memorial light

Dor. This would be prominent sit
uation from both land and sea, besides
being of great practical utility. The

piano is responsible in a measure for
the alarming spread of nervous dis

against beginning the musical educa-

in Europe. In his opinion no girl
should be permitted to enter upon the
study of music before the age of 16,
and even then the hours of drumming
upon the keyboard should be restrict
ed to two day. The family next door
may prescribe 15 minutes.

Recently the editor of this paper re-

request for the names of men and
women Of Waukesha who are possessed
Of property in their own names to the
alue of three hundred thousand dol
ars or more. The purpose of the re-
Guest was to secure the names for in
sertion in "The Financial Red Book. "
Once before similar request was re-
ceived, and two names were forwarded.
Now, however, there would appear to
be no resident here who has even
reached the quarter million mark.
Judging from the tax list no one here
has got within gunshot of 100000,

why not make this 100000 and then
comply with the Johnson measure
which only asks for 100000. There
would still be left $125,0O0 for St.

there would be the annual cost of
maintenance, ST., 200 a month as stated

with very narrow pipings, and the
blouse waist has revers of heavy Eng
lish Grape and a shirred vest of the
same. The collar is a band of the wolfe,
with rundown collar of Grape. The
collars may be Of white tucked lisse or
fine null, all white or with black
stitching. This is a matter of individ-
ual taste.
In matters of mourning costume more
latitude is now allowed than some years
ago. A woman in really deep mourning
may now go to informal dinners and
assist at semigrand functions at home
after the first three months. For such
occasions is the pretty fancy of a waist
shown here. The skirt is of some reg
ulation mourning goods, such as ar
mure silk or eudora cloth, but the waist
is made of black chiffon shirred in
lengthwise rows and garnished with
exceedingly narrow folds of Grape in
clusters of three. Around the semide-
collete neck is a ruff of accordion plait-
ed silk null edged with a narrow ruche
of chiffon. Just above that is an ar
rangement of folds of Grape edged with
dull jet beads. Jet ornaments in form
of light neck laces are very much liked.
The older the style is the better is it
liked
Gloves for mourning are of suede or
glace kid. Ones handkerchief may be
entirely white or embroidered black or
with hem of black. Full gowns of
chiffon and brussels net made over silk
are the proper thing when the wearer
wishes to go to some dinner or recep-
ton permitted by the ordinary conven-
tionalities. Some gowns are made sim
pie, but others are much trimmed with
jet. HENRIETTE ROUSSEAU.
