the shirt waist, and women are happy.
The cleverest designers have been busy
planning the daintiest kind Of shirt and
the creations Of their skill are irresistible.
In the horoscope Of shirt waist styles
the signs point to the reign of linen. This
summer the ambition of every up-to-date
girl will be to own an embroidered linen
shirt waist. The best part of it is that
while there are linen waists galore they
are never monotonous, no two being alike.
There Is such great range of distinc-
tive ideas in these new models that the
demands for elegance can be easily salts
fed. The longer ones gazes at these be-
witching fashions the more charmed one

is which shall be purchased.

about their refreshing newness which is
most alluring, until another model is dis
played, In which the design is carefully
brought out in colors, and one immedi-

Commons this evening, the Prtmier. Mr. Bal
four, while admitting the magnitude of the es-
Inmates. said the House should not only con-
slider the amount. but should watch the general
European and Asiatic situation. which alone
could justify what the country was asked to
expend
The country should not lose sight of the pos
sibility Of war between Great Britain and two
great maritime powers which could hardly end
without great losses on the part OF both the
enemies and Great Britain. in which event the
other navies would be intact and in a maritime
position which they did not now hold.
Mr.. Baltour said ne was reluctant to mention
the possibility OF war. He did not think such
a dreadful contingency was one which they at
present had any reason to apprehend. But when
talking Of the navy they must always be talking
OF the possibility Of war. and he was forced.
when indicating the general outlines OF the
reasons which compelled the government to ask
for this sacrifice. 10 indicate possibilities which
did not exist twenty-five years ago.
There was no possible comparison between
the dependence Great Britain placed on her
navy, which was defensive and the dependence
placed by America or any European country on
its navy, which was offensive. Great Britain's
policy had been TO see what other nations
were doing in the way of laying down ships and
Immediately to make reply. So long as the

then agreed to.
