In many places the swim ming baths are being covered over with a special contrivance so that they can be turned into a gymnasium as the occasion demands. The Duke Of Marl- borough's new house is provided with a gymnasium which will admit of wrestling, boxing or any other form of manly exercise.

MEMS DEMANDS UPON WOMEN.
Today She Must Be We'll Informed to
 Be Interesting.

Men are constantly growing more and more eXacting in the demands they make of women to be interesting" So said Rolf B. Taylor, a broker of Chi cago. and well known in society here, now at the Netherland. He was in spired to make the above remark last evening through two friends who were airily discussing with him the increas- ing number of divOrces and unhappy marriages in America. Continuing, MT. Taylor said:
 Young men-and old men, too--are not half so simple as they were ana they demand modern improvements in all things before they find them satis- factory. A fireworks show of twenty years ago would be voted a poor dis play today. Men who used to bold con- gress tremulous with eagerness to catch each word that fell from their lips have lived to find their rising the signal for q general exit. And so it is with the weaker sex. The young woman who in this year of grace pos sesses just the amount of intellectual attractiveness which would have suf- feed to make her interesting years ago, will meet, I am sorry to say, with much appointment She must en-
 
 she herself demands that her customer shall march with the times.
 Personally, I must confess my in- ability to pass an hour pleasantly away with an uninformed woman. I have met many women who are not quite sure whether, for instance, MT. Can non is or is not the speaker of the house of representatives, whether Mir. Chauncey Depew is not celebrated general, and whether Tom Platt is not a light of the Roman Catholic church. Only recently I heard a woman par alyze a whole company at an evening party by her confession that she was unacquainted with Mansfeld's or Jeff erson's acting as she never went 70 variety shows. But, of course, this ignorant woman is not frequently so brilliantly ignorant as all that. l do not mean, understand me, that a girl should be a prodigy or learning. have never yet heard of a man who gave young woman the Encyclopedia Britannica as present, and if one did have my suspicious as to the use she would apply it. Be that as it may most womer today betray the ignor- ance of passing events which was marvellous in beings who had the ad- vantage of living in an age in which there existed even such scanty educa- tional facilities as newspaper bulletins Now, at an expenditure of a cent she can read as much as is necessary in half an hour. But where can you find the woman who can talk with even a fair degree of intelligence on the Japo-Russian war? Few of them can tell you off hand where Russia or Jap an is situated. That's a fact. Of

Petticoats of the same material are very desirable since it has the silken luster, while less ex- pensive and much stronger than silk An admirable completion to the petti- coat is the lily hair cloth flounce per fectly shaped, well bound and impart- ing the stylish flare, while keeping the drapery away from her feet, thus leav- ing the movements of the wearer free

Persian novelties are in two shades of the same color and lovely in the extreme are stamped faces called stamped tulle." The name, however, does not convey an accurate idea of the goods since the foundation is really a fine quality of bobinet lace, having the appearance of tulle, but far stronger. One must see these goods to appreciate their rare beauty. They are refinement itself and the patterns lovely floral inter- minglings in all over style Mohair Swiss materials are of course more substantial and show large or small dots.

Many yokes and capes as well, are entirely composed of trim ming, with of course a very handsome effect. Sleeves are large at the wrists. with a finish Of lace. technically called the lingere finish. Some of these coats are three quarter length, but they are quite in a minority. Short tan or black jackets will be a frequent choice for young people, especially the former. Medium length jackets are also brought out and both are almost tight fitting. Fancy or plain braids are a favorite trimming for black jackets.

SALT WATER FOR NAVY FIRES
Pressure on Mains Is Raised to 100
 Pounds.


 The fact may not be generally known that the New York navy yard has thorough equipment of salt water mains for fighting fire. The propor- tion of salt to fresh or, city water mains is about two to one; or, to put it in another way, the salt water mains in the yard comprise about two thirds of the total. In every building there is fresh water with hose connections: and an additional supply of the latter for outside use, in case it is needed. There are two hose carts, which can be run to any part of the yard in a few minutes time in case the hose n the buildings where a possible ire might break out should prove insutii- cient to meet the needs of the occa- sion. The navy yard, however, does not depend upon it's system wholly. and when q fire does occur the city fire depaE tment is called uD as well as the bluejackets and marines on duty. There are four electric pumps in the power house. which maintain con- stant pressure of fifty pounds on the salt water mains, but which is slightly

NEW YORK FASHIONS
Outing Fabrics-Diaphanous Fabrics.
 Outdoor Garments-nilline

New York. March 15-(Special Cor respondence)-Judging from the re- markable displays of cotton goods in- tended for outing dresses, it is evident that women in general are expected largely to lead out door lives. The goods mentioned are in canvas. duck or crash. but the patterns are new and most suitable to what is expected of them. Light weight, yet strong, and some indeed vieing in appearance and durability (yet cooler of course) with wool. On this list comes crash in close mixed weavings of dark gray, brown red, blue or ecru. Canvas is much more open and comes in plain weave and solid colors chiefly, but their are stylish varieties in fancy checks and combina- tions of thick and thin threads. Some have fleecy interminglings rather on the boucette order. Others again are close woven and show rather narrow stripes. Duck suitings are in close, firm weave and have small. self colored squares formed by thick threads. a tiny white sopt on each intersection serving to bring the square into re- lief.
 The summer girl will however be a two-s sided creature and if well pro- vided with outfits for woodland ex- curslons, is still better furnished with gowns of those galzy, diaphanous fab rics than when rightly worn, cause the wearer to seem indeed not far re- moved from the angelic" There never was a time when transparent and semi transparent materials were so fashionable, and this fact must account for the great use made of slip skirts that show through the goods above so prettily.
