UNITED STATES NAVY LEAGUE.
Recently Organized Body VIII Strive
to Provide the Nation with
Adequate Navy.

There has recently been organized
in the United States Navy league,
whose object is to secure a navy com.
mensurate with the country's require.
ments. To this end it proposes to draw
public attention to our naval standing
relatively to the navies of the world,
and to create public opinion on the
question of naval increase that will
react favorably upon congress when
it comes to legislate on naval affairs.
Leagues of this kind already exist in
England, France, Germany and Italy,
and in every case they are non-pa rtisan
and possess no political significance
whatever. As an instance Of the work
done by similar organizations in other
countries, we may take the case of
Germany, where the impetus given
during the past few years to naval af-
fairs is attributed largely to the in
huence of the naval league, in which
the German emperor himself il an in
defatigable worker. The German
league has gone into the matter with
the thoroughness that characterizes
the German people in dealing with mat
ters of national Importance. The aims
Of the new league are highly COM
mendable, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, and We trust that it will be sue
cessful in assisting forward the good
work of providing this country with
. navy adequate for the protection OF
its worldwide and rapidly extending
interests.

BRIDAL PHOTOGRAPHS.
Not Nearly So Many Taken Nowadays
. a. There Were q Few
h Years Ago.

Brides are probably just as beauti-
full now as ever they were, but they
are not nearly so anxious to record
their post-nuptial loveliness by means
Of photographs. Most photographers
say they are glad of it, says the Chi.
cago Tribune.
II never did enjoy taking the pic
lures of Brides" said a photographer.
Like all the rest of the world | love
the dear creatures; but when it comes
down to four dollars a dozen CONNER
cialism they do not satisfy my artistic
instincts. Few brides take good pic
ture. Somehow their togs are not be-
coming. A bride is supposed to look
superlatively lovely on her wedding
day, but if anybody dared to tell the
truth on the subject that superstition
soon would be exploded. and the sweet
things would realize that instead Of
looking their best on that occasion
most of them are apt to look their
worst. 1t is the same way when they
come to be photographed in their we'd
ding finery. They are either too pale
or too red, and they have a nervous,
|
anxious expression that robs the face
of all good lines for Photographic pur-
poses.
''The time was when no bride con-
sidered herself really married until
she had arrayed herself in spotless
white and had her picture taken. Gen
orally he came with her, and he
looked just about as foolish as she
did. Goodness, the trouble l have had
posing brides and grooms before the
camera. Instead Of telling them to
look pleasant, l always felt like say
! ing: Don't look iGiotic if you can
possibly help it, and then I would have
to think up some device to keep her
from scrooging down too close against
his shoulder and to keep Him from re-
spending with an equally inappropri-
ate embrace. But with all my precau-
tions l never fully succeeded in pre-
venting their acting like lunatics. The
other day, when looking over lot of
old negatives, l came across several
hundred of those sentimental combina-
tions, and l thanked my lucky stars
that nowadays few newly mated cou-
pies have the camera craze"
