The Dreadnought has shown that she fire
a broadsde of eight 12-inch guns without In
Jury to the vessel itself. This battleship is the
first to be built for any navy. and is the only
one yet in commission. embodying the principle
that the main battery should consist exclusively
of the heaviest ordnance. AS the change in
wolves increase in the weight of metal to be
hurled at an enemy and in the amount Of
powder employed to project it. the strains re-
sulting from a collective discharge CORE
spondingly enhanced. For that reason the
demonstration now afforded will possess world
wide interest Other battleships have suffered
appreciably from tests which were less severe.
Hence the Dreadnought proves TO be a marvel
OF structural strength. as we'll as in the quick
ness with which she was built and equipped.

SILK FROCKS HERE
Pronounced Favorite of Fashion 70.
the Late Summer and Early
Autumn.

Silk frocks are emphatically a fea-
ture OF the late summer and early au-
tumn, for they are neither too thin
nor too heavy for comfort, and so nu-
merous are the bargains advertised in
fabrics of this nature that it would
seem as though every woman in any
walk of life might be able to realize
her day dream of possessing at least
one silk gown. She had best DUR
chase one of the mauve shades, how
ever. If she would be abreast of the
times. for. with suggestion of white
next to the face, mauve is possible to
any complexion, and from present in
dications will be a popular shade of
the winter. In the novelty silks which
are striped when they are not checked
or polka-dotted, are seen some stun
ming effects in browns, blues and vel
lows combined with white. The striped
silks may be made to trim themselves
by means of transversely used bands.
The plain pongees, sedos and orkedos
are also in high favor for early au-
tumn costumes and are being made I'D
about equally with long or short skirts
trimmed with one broad or a success

yoked waists with ornate short
sleeves

WATCH FOR MITTEN SLEEVE.
Promises to Be Generally Worn on
Autumn Frocks.

The short sleeve fad has been car
Tied to the point of caricature and
has had a long career. So some change

unquestionably be much worn

OF dress, 1t seems probable that we
shall see the mitten sleeve upon a
great many of the dressy frocks in
the autumn.
The upper part of the new sleeve
Is usually but little changed, though
some lovely sleeve designs are in
such sheer material as chiffon OF net
finely tucked in horizontal lines along
the inner arm down to a point just
below the elbow and fall in a droop-
ing clinging puff so far down, while
below the elbow the sleeve fits closely
and some form of short cap or kimono
drapery forms an outer sleeve
Even when the sleeve is short the
tucked and soft falling sheer puff is
liked. The best of the new tailored
frocks show disposition toward long
sleeves.

NEW MILLINERY IDEA
Something Really Striking Even Among
the Striking Productions Of
the Season.

We have been treated to such novel
and striking effects in millinery this
season that it seems as though nothing
could come in the way of surprise.
Yet a new hat is a model which at
tracts immediate attention and makes
friends for itself at first sight The
shade is of leghorn in the natural yell
low shade, the crown rather high and
round and the brim quite wide. This,
of course, is wired on the under side.
But the feature of the hat is the mount
ing of finest princess lace, fitting
smoothly over the crown, the brim
deeply scalloped and shaped to this
portion of the hat. The crown and
brim joining of the lace is covered
with a simple wreath of small white
flowers and green foliage, and at the
left side of the crown are posed three
beautiful white prince of Wales ostrich
plumes which nod and dip over the
high crown and brim. The headsize is
fitted with half inch cache peign
swathed in white malines through
which fancy headed hat pins are in
serted.

Velvet Ribbon Is a VOGUE.

Velvet ribbons were never used so
much as this season, for, besides be-
ing favorite hat trimming, the jump
er fashion has been the means, of util-
izing endless yards. Lovejoy jumpers
of velvet in two. or perhaps three
widths can be made at home even by
unskilled fingers if one will only watch
the models on exhibition in any of the
large stores.
Velvet ribbon is not cheap. therefore
1t goes without saying that these pref
ty bodices are quite expensive bought
ready for wear, but made at home the
cost could be lessened one-half. I'm
less black Is chosen the ribbon should
be Of the same color as the skirt to be
worn with it, the blouse being gener
