THE GIRL IN
M BLACK -
BY CONSTANCE DARCY MACkAY
Copyright. 1906. by E. C. PARCELS

In n shaded spot just inside the en-
trance of Central park a girl was sit
ting. She was all in black, from the
crown of her fetching little hat to her
low shoes. Her face was pale with
the paleness of summer spent in the
city, her brown hair rippled back from
smooth white forehead, her eyes
were deep gray, steadfast and coura-
geous. "And I have need of couragew
Cornelia Stratton murmured. For two
months she had been hunting posi-
tion and so far she had not found one,
although she had been able to SUBJ
stitute at large commercial office for
week or two, and the pay she had re-
ceived for that had, by careful hoard
ing, saved her from actual want. Yet
as time dragged on her money dwin-
died and there seemed no hope in sight.

valiantly; ''it's the lot of many another

Il have heard many stories of the in

server of animal life, "but the actions
of two horses the other day equaled If
not surpassed many of the tales. The
pair were fine looking beasts attached
to farmers wagon and had been left
outside q feed store on Kensington
avenue. Just beyond their reach were
several bales of hay. By some clever
maneuvering the white horse, which
was nearest the pavement, managed
to get hold of some of the hay. His
brown mate, not getting any of the
hay, with almost human actions made
the white horse understand that he
wished to share the feast. To satisfy
his mate the white horse took larger
mouthfuls OF the hay and turned his
head In way so that the brown horse
could enjoy the feast: By the time
their owner reached them nearly half
the bale of nay had been consumed by
the pair When the owner of the hay
was informed of the unique manner in
which the horses secured their lunch

Lingerie Claims Attention at This
Time of the Year.
Scarcely do the bells cease their jubi-
liant ringing when there is an air of
mystery about the great shops. and
then suddenly every counter and every
window blossoms out in a white frost
of linen, lace and embroidery. Where
this custom came from or why 1t Is
considered the right thing to do In the
early days of the new year none can
that has come to stay. And now we
have white windows, counters and
showcases until 1t seems the world has
put on a bridal attire to welcome the
new year.
1t does not become a woman who
cannot add two and two together twice
and have the sum come out the same
both times to try to tell the number
of yards of lace applied to some of
these undergarments, but there must
be more than a hundred ON some of
them. A skirt, for instance, of batiste
has one deep flounce, and to this are
affixed several more in varying widths,
so thtit the bottom of the skirt sets out
like those of Buster Browns mother.
They are all frill and flounce, with
several ruffles added for good measure.
The lace on these skirts is nearly al
ways valenciennes, as that gives a
lighter appearance than any other
kind. Next comes the point de paris,
with cluny after.
Drawers have but the smallest apol-
ogy for foundation, with deep super
imposed ruffies, each wider than the
last. In some instances these drawers
are made with what are called umbrella
ruffles, which means that the ruffie Is
smooth at the top and like the center
of the covering of an umbrella, with
the circle to be layishly trimmed with
lace. The umbrella shaped ruffle has its
advantages In that 1t has no bulky up
per portion. Even skirts which must be
full around the bottom have portion
made to fit the body closely, and to
this yoke shape are often buttoned other
garments to maintain the slenderness
of figure which Is considered so desir
able.
Slumber robes, as nightgowns are
now more delicately called, are prettier
and more ornate, to say nothing of the
materials employed to make them,
than dresses for festive occasions used
to be. The very finest and sheerest Of
linen lawns, batistes and wash silks
are used, and these are decorated to
the utmost limit, nearly all having
tiny knots of baby ribbon or narrow
ribbon run through the places in the
trimming, for nearly all such lace or
edging has holes at regular intervals
for the purpose.
Dressing jackets are so very pretty
and so frazzly with lace and narrow

has neither friends nor relatives to
help her. But, oh, l do wish l could
find something. I'm SO tired of dis
appointments"
From where she sat she could hear
the ceaseless hum and stir of1
There had been hours when 1t seemeT
to call like challenge, and her heart
beat in answer to it. Now 1t fright
ened her. 1t seemed SO vast, so over
whelming. There were so many prob
lens to be met and mastered. One of
them was clothes.
She had chosen to dress in black be-
cause it was the most economical Her
deft fingers had fashioned chic hat
for a trifling sum, and for the rest she
wore the same suit, day in and day
out, taking such scrupulous care of 1t
that she looked as well groomed as
many a woman of means.
Each day, when she had searched
for work till she was too tired to
search further she came to sit in the
park, where everything was green and
quiet, where squirrels frisked unmo-
Tested across the grass and where the
clear liquid notes of birds lent a sem
blance of the country. There were
moments when the scene charmed Cor
nelia, but oftener she was too dis
heartened to care. "What am l to do
if this state of affairs lasts much Ion
ger?" she mused on this sitting after
noon in mid-August. She was utterly
Respondent. Her hands were clasped
listlessly in her lap, and she shut her
eyes to keep back the tears. When
she opened them again, she encounter
ed the direct gaze of man sitting on
the bench opposite her. He was
well set up young fellow of about nine
and twenty broad shouldered and
smooth shaven. As their eyes met the
pity that was in his look changed to
something deeper. "Take courage" the
look said. Life Is battle for all of
us. Fight on"
Cornelia turned away her head, her
heart futtering strangely. Some one
in all that vast city had seen, had
cared. 'Its simply nonsense" she
told herself "Hes never seen me be-
fore, nor I him." Yet already she felt
cheered Unrolling a newspaper she
held in her hand, she went over its
want columns again. At the next Office
where she applied the business man.
ager noted something bright and spir-
tied in her aspect that argued well for
her. 'I'm the happiest girl in the
whole wide world" she laughed few
minutes later, for she had found q po-
sition at last.
The winter months sped quickly and
pleasantly. There was so much to do
and so much to see-the shops, the the
aters, the surging throngs on Broad
way and the great promenade on Fifth
avenue at twilight, when countless
carriages blocked the crossings and
when all the fashion and beauty of
the earth seemed to shine before Cor
nelia's delighted eye. 1t grew to be
a custom with her in going to and
from her work to search the faces of
the passersby in the half confessed
hope that some time, somewhere, she
should again catch a glimpse of the
man whom she had seen In the park.
It vas a wish, however, that seemed
destined to remain unfulflled.

WARSH|P FOR TARGET
Proposed to Fire Shells at the
Naval Vessel Texas.
USE OF OUTSIDE EXPLOSIVES
"ArmorPiercing Projectiles" That DO
Not Penetrate.
ARGUMENTS OF w. S. ISHAM
A Subject of Much Importance to the
Future Usefulness of the Navy
Discussed in Detail.

Mr.. w. S. Isham has written in detail
to the Secretary of the Navy on the sub
ject of outside explosives. He advocates
the use of the Texas as a target. He
says:
Confirming an interview had with you
this afternoon, l present herewith a copy
of the bill which l am about to have in
troduced into Congress and offer the fol-
lowing brief statement Of facts which !
trust will cause you to indorse the passage
of the bill a department measure.
1T is proposed to settle definitely and
forever all question as to outside explosive
effects, by employing in this test the larg-
est shell used, say twelve or thirteen
inch, charged with the most powerful ex-
plosive ever used for this purpose, name
ly, explosive gelatin, and firing it with a
velocity to simulate a range of say, eight
miles, at the armor belt amidship of the
battleShip Texas said ship to be anchored
over a sand bar in such a manner that
she would settle but foot or two in
case a rent in her side below the water
line should result from the explosion of
the projectile.
'If those who believe that serious in
jury may result from outside explosion
of such shells are wrong then no serious
harm will be done the Texas and the ex-
pense of the test will be slight and well
within the small appropriation asked for
in this bill. On the other hand, should a
hole be blown in her side, say fifteen feet
in diameter, she would simply rest lightly
on the bottom and probably without other
serious injury, her water-tight compart-
ments localiZing the flooding She could
then bat patched with a mattress pumped
dry, raised, locked and repaired at slight
cost, judged by experience with torpedoed
ships in the far east and representing but
an infinitesimally small part of the saving
to this government which would accrue
through the value of the information
gained.
Armor Penetration Impossible.
Among the many reasons why this test
should be made are the following: First.
thick armor penetration at fighting ranges
is impossible. Proof of this is found in all
recent technical essays upon this subject;
one of these is sufficient for the purpose.
United States naval institute proceedings.
1903, page 300, says:
THE new torpedo 1900 yard range) is
likely to make the range limit (of the gum
5000 yards, a distance at which very little
penetration may be hoped for, even were
normal impact to be secured
This is due to the well-known whipping
action which the shell receives when strik-
ing a target at long range due to the angle
between the axis of the projectile and the
trajectory at impact, and which angle is a
little more than double the angle of eleva-
ton of the gun. 1t is this well-known fact,
substantiated by abundance of -stmony
that is adduced as the reason why soft
nosed caps are Intellectual at long ranges
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1907-01-16

ranking either to the distance at which
they will be destructive. they will pos
sess no air chamber of from twenty to
thirty cubic feet contents. to cushion and
deaden the effect of their explosion. This
will give such shell a destructive range
of fifty feet from the ships side and add
more than three-fold to the chances of de-
stroying a ship When firing these shells
within ricochet range, a fuse is not en-
ployed and all line shots which fall short
will score which will add still other ad-
VantageS to such shell.
Will Lengthen Life of Guns.
Fourth. Although it has been demon
trated that these shells may be safely fired
under the heaviest pressures ever employed
or even up to the highest pressures that
the guns will stand. 1t is believed advisable
to reduce this pressure to about ten tons
per square inch. which will give to the
guns a life many times in excess of that
which 1t now possesses as necessarily cur
tailed In order to make armor- piercing
shells efficient even at short ranges This
advantage would save this government
millions of dollars in the construction of
new guns to take the place of those worn
out, If the present system is continued and
might save the nations honor We're a pro-
longed war fought out on the sea to be the
fate Of this nation.
Fifth. While this measure is urged as
being especially important to the navy as
affecting the design Of battleships. the de-
termination Of this question by your de-
partment effects an equally important
change in the coast defenses of our coun-
try, dispensing with most of those new
ones which are now urged a result of
the failure of the armor penetration idea.
AS an example is cited the proposed bill in
the present Congress for island upon
which Notifications are to be built to guard
the entrance to the Chesapeake bay, which
will cost millions Of dollars and which Is
entirely unnecessary If the claims for out
side explosive effect are substantiated.
Full Test Warranted.
"Now while it has not been attempted to
show all of the advantages accruing
through the use of the shell for outside explo-
sive effect, it is believed that the presen-
tation has been sufficiently strong to war

country having a navy for example Eng

possible cost of this test, and does any one

1T is sincerely hoped that. as understood,
You Will refer this important matter at
once to competent board with ins.ruc-
tons TO report on the same within a week
so that the report, together with the bill
may be placed before the naval affairs
committee for action before their bill is in
troduced in the House. | should be pleased
to appear before your board to substantiate
the claims made if they are disputed and
trust that this may be done to save argu-
ment in Congress. 1t is believed that the
department should welcome this opportu-
which involves the usefulness of our en-
tire navy. In Of failure to do serious
harm to the Texas the department would
emerge from the test even more secure in
their high position in the public estimate.
On the other hand, should the Texas suffer
serious damage the public would recognize
the progresSiveneSS of the department and
give 1t the proper credit for the millions OF
dollars which would be saved through the
discovery of this informa ton. Hence II is
believed that the bill should receive an
early and favorable reply
