Young Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt,
looking what they are, a boy and girl
kept healthy and in good spirits by
country life, practically do not live in
New York at all. Like most of the
fashionables, they expect to turn up
in the city frequently for few days
or weeks, then off to Europe, to the
south, to Newport, to the Adirondacks.
What do they want of city housei
They need nothing more than few

tage of the woman of limited means who
had found in the separate waist way Of
making a limited wardrobe appear to
best advantage.
''The separate waist is by no means
out" he replied, nor do imagine that
1t soon will be. We have never carried
so large and varied stock of these gar
ments as we have this winter. nor have
they ever been more elaborate"
And then as proof of his assertions he
proceeded TO display for my benefit a
seemingly countless number of those in
his stock. First he showed me filmy
structure of chiffon which forms the
foundation on which much beautiful
elaboration is built, by transparent lace
insertions or incrustations, on which
graduated horizontal tucks of palest
mauve sole de chine, which entirely
compose it, sleeve and all, are hem
stitched on to the cream chiffon by large
lace stitches in white linen thread. 1t

ness Of the tucked sleeve. Bretelles of
fine ecru lace complete charmingly an

Tor annual target practice and the contfn-
uance OF the present allowance for sub

commended. Further, it is recommended
that all target practice except sub-caliber

been sufficient to thoroughly test the guns

its recommendation that provision be made

heavy guns under conditions Approximate
ing those of actual service.
The report says that three ranges should
be proyided-one for the north Atlantic
one for the south Atlantic and gulf and
one for the Pacific coast. Finally, the
board says, not less than 100000 should
annually be appropriated for the next sew
eral years for the installation OF proper

of any object for which such sum can
more effectively be expended or from which
greater benefit will be derived.

service. She is 173 feet inches long, has
a beam of 80 feet 8 inches and depth of

She will be driven by two compound direct

In the Indictment against Farr it is

AMMUNITION IN RESERVE.
Importance of an Ample Supply Dem
onstrated

The board of ordnance and fertilization
in its annual report says that the results
OF the tests made with the three-inch
rapid-lre gun recommended by the board
for adoption for the army show that
when equipped with these guns and car
riages the field artillery of our army Will
have a weapon equal, if not superior, to
that of any nation" Relative to the tests
conducted in Pensacola harbor the report
says they have resulted In the adoption of
q system of fire control and direction for
coast artillery (which, when installed,
with such notifications as experience may
suggest, as a part OF the coast defense,
VIII render 1t more than ever effective"
The sum of 100000 is estimated as the
amount needed to carry on the work dur
ing the next fiscal year. The board renews
former recommendations that appropria-
tons by Congress should be sufficient to
provide reserve supply of ammunition of
at least 100 rounds for each large-caliber
gun and mortar, and at least go rounds
