The manager of the custom order de-

Santa Claus Window.
Another store on Seventh street has
a Santa Claus window. The center
piece of this is a bushy evergreen tree
beautifully decorated. To the left Of
the tree and facing it~is~the jolly saint,
himself, with a fat sock over his shoul-
der. He is most lifelike and one al
most expects to see him swing the sack
from his shoulder and exhibit the pres
ents that are inside. Further down the
street and on the other side is another
toy window that exhibits a. most inter
esting miscellaneous collection of toys,
which includes everything from
Jack-in- the box to a life-size wheel
barrow.
In the basement Of large depart

so attractive that every grown-up per-
son who looks atsit must regret that he
or she is too old to play with it. AS
for the little girls-well, they doubtless

which Alice nibbled in Wonderland and
which made her small enough to fit in

is a dolls house, modern enough for
the most notable doll housekeeper and
elegant enough to be the home of the

I have one customer-an adorable
figure she has, too-who, after the
11rst fitting invariably brings her hus-
band along for the others. The filter
always breads him, for he is far more
critical than his wife. One day he said
with a frown
1t seems to me your hips look too
large in that gown
AT which his wife became much
alarmed, and before she left ordered a
new corset, whose lines were planned
for the express purpose of shaving
down hips. Don't talk to me about
men not admiring a stylish figure!
AS for the average young unmar-
r1ed man, in these days, it is not SO
much the face as the figure that takes
the masculine eye, and a well-built
corset has a lot to dc in making the
figure"

ALIENS.

Some must take and others pay.
Some until the Judgment Day
Solitary, waiting stay
Thus the worlds unchanging way
Since the world began.
Men there are who never sip
Warm red wine Of fellowship.
Fearing let the cup pass by
While another drains it dry,
Gayly uses, gayIy breaks
What his brothers heart blood makes
Thus the worlds unchanging way
Since the world began.
Men there are with songs unsune.
Strains that ne'er escape the tongue.
Broken aims and dreams that lie
Hidden from the careless eve:
Secret, passionate, deep enshrined.
Undeveloped, thwarted, blind
Thus the worlds unchanging way
Since the world began.
Shall such some day rise and take
Need denied by Earths mistake?
No more waiting, spurned of Fate
Shall they come. though it be late
And by strange paths to their own;
No more despised failures known
On some other kindlier shore
Aliens never more?

CRUISE OF THE DIXIE.
Nothing Mysterious or Significant in
Connection With It.

1t Is said at the Navy Department that
there is nothing mysterious or significant
in connection with the present trip of the
cinverted cruiser Dixie. That vessel left
the League Island Navy Yard Saturday
and is bound for Guantanamo Cuba, where
the United States is to establish a naval
station in few weeks. There is battal-
ion of about 400 marines on the Dixie who
Will take Part in the ceremonies attending
the formal transfer of the station to the
United States. These marines have been
stationed IN Caribbean waters for nearly
a year past part of the compile
ment of the converted cruiser Panther.
" hen that vessel was put out of commits
sion they were transferred to the Dixie,
and are now returning to their regular
station. Up to this time the T. s. navy
has used the Island of Culebra, near Porto
Rico, a base of operations in the Car
ibbean and West Indian waters, and the
present cruise of the Dixie is simply to
ta ke the marine battalion to the new naval
station at Guantanamo instead of taking
them back to Culebra. 1t is possible that
later the battalion may be divided between
the two places, or that the entire battalion
may alternate between them as headquar-
terS.
The maintenance Of a marine battalion
in the Caribbean sea is in accordance with
the naval policy adopted more than a year
ago, when the frequent troubles on the
isthmus and in Venezuela involving tie
interests of the United States, made it ad-
vsable for the United States to have force
in that vicinity available to meet any
emeT gency without unnecessary dclay Be-
fore the adoption of that policy it was not
usual for the United States to have any
of its warships nearer the isthmus than
the coast of Florida, and the consequence
was that time sometimes lost in meet
ing the treaty requirements to maintain
free and uninterrupted transit across the
isthmus. The establishment of the sta
tionS at Guantanamo and Culebra now en-
ables the government to promptly meet
any emergency in that vicinity requiring
it's attention.
1t is stated at the department that there
Is no present intention of sending the Dixie
or any other vessel to the Isthmus of Pan
ANA, and that the departure of the Dixie
Saturday night had no relation to the latest
reported trouble in that country

INCREASING THE NAVY
Recommendations Submitted by the
Departmental Board.

Secretary Moody some time ago asked
the general naval board to recommend a
building program which would extend over
a period of several years, and which is. in
the opinion of the board, essential to bring
the navy to strength adequate to the
country's possible requirements.
The board expressed it's opinion that the
navy should be increased each year by
four first-class battleships, two armored
cruisers, four torpedo boat destroyers and
four fast and large scout ships. 1t is I'M
derstood the above recommendation is
coupled with the suggestion that in case
Congress in any year fails to make a suffi-
cient appropriation for all of these ships
the two armored cruisers and four torpedo
boat destroyers can best be eliminated
from the program.
