UNHAPPY MARRIAGES

BE SLENDER, THE STYLE.
Miss White Home From Paris Says
 No Dips and High Belt.

No dips, get the long lines" have a high belt, and whatever you do
 be slender. If you cant be slender be as slender as you can!
 Thus comes the ultimatum from Miss Elizabeth 4. C. White, fresh from Paris, says the Hartford COu- rant. And she ought to know, for hasn't she been securing the French capital for styles and ideas for the last six months just so as to tip of the busy workers in the Dressmakers' Protective association of America of which she is president, and tell Iiem what's really the chic thing?
 She received callers. very informal ly. Saturday afternoon at the head quarters of the association at No 1T4 Fifth avenue. Manhattan, and told them all about the new figger." Her own was arrayed in some of her im- portations-a cute pOngee skirt, lace waist, n wide belt, at least three inches higher than belts usually are. and a royal purplIsh red near-mush- room hat with a large and elegant bunch of white feathers covering all of it but the back part of the briln. The Fifth avenue sun shOne through the windows and lighted up her Parisian marcel waves. Then she ex- plained that. although she excepted to talk all this week from Monday afternoon until Saturday. at the Ma sonic temple. Sixth avenue and Tyen- ty-third street nevertheless she didn't mind if she did give a few forewOrIls on this dress question.
 My dear" said she-she always be- gins with my dear ''tbere is a real new figure-a slender one. The fat women will have 10 get thin. that's all there Is about 1t. All the lines are long-lOng cutaway coats, high col lars. long lines in the skirts. I know how tO make this new figure. For eighteen years I've tried to invent some kind of a new corset or some thing which would be just right. Now I have it. It will make q fat woman slender. and thin women plump. It's comfortable: it isn't a regular corset. it's a sort Of combination affair. It's well, if I do say 8 myself-It-s a dream.

The navy department has decided to change the name of the cruiser New York to Saratoga, in order that the new battleship now building may be named the New York. In this connection it is interesting to note that the old Saratoga, now out of commission, was constructed at Portsmouth, N H., in 134S. She was so named in honor of Commodore Perry's famous flagship on which he fought the battle of Lake Erie. When launched she was the largest ship of her class in existence, her length being 150 feet, breadth 3G.09 feet She cost $150,169, fabulous sum in those days She carried four S-inch guns and eighteen 32pound- CTS. Before the civil war she render ed excellent service off the coast of Africa and during the war, under the command of George Calvocoress- es, she not only protected American shipping but aided in the blockade of the southern ports. Until 1890, the Saratoga was used as a gunners' ship and experimental battery at Annapolis.

 Mushroom hats and all kinds hand- ing low in back are out. The straight brims are in, but there is sort of a mushroom with just straight bend. which will be favorite. You must wear a small bandeau and tilt your hat up on one side. Morning glorles as trimming will be lovely, in all those beautiful purple shades.
 Reddish purple will be the rage very trying color for most people, but it's hobby any way. Feathers on hats are not going to hang down the back as they did. Everything has more of an upward turn than during the summer, just as though we were ali bracing up for cold weather-lsn't that funny?
 Thank goodness. the sleeves will be long. full length, or the seven- eights length. No more of those ugly elbow sleeves. Just makes me sick when 1 see those short sleeves. The sleeve 10 the wrist is elegant now.
 "In trimming we'll use thousands of yards of braid-my dear, please mention tbat particularly-thousands. All over cutaway caots-did I tell you coats would be three-quarter length !: All over cutaway cOats-did I tell you Embroidered filet net in any color you want is another real new and hobby thing. just like those old things we need 10 hang on our walls.

 And you can wear coats and skirts in different colors. For in- stance, 1t will be stylish to wear a Delft blue skirt and a black coat. cr a plaid skirt and brown or blue coat. This is the first time in eight years for this to be the style.
 "As for your hair, you mustn't wear those puffs that come by the yard. if you want to be real swell. The thick coronet braid is better"
 Just then the fashion oracle was interrupted by the entrance of a why-do-they-call-me-a-Gibson girl who came to apply for a job as a living model for next week. Miss White bowed a smiling gOOdby.
 Well. come back again" said sne land he sure to come to see the new get-thin-quick corset. It's a wonder.

There is an old Irishman in Balti. more who for many years was pros porous as q grocer. Not long ago, how. ever, the old fellow lost his all in "a side line" and was compelled to look for job. Through the influence of a friend he was offered the position of crossing tender at a. small railroad station in Maryland.
 The Celt looked dubious as the duties of the office were explained to him and the meaning of the various flags was stated.
 Tn case of danger you wave the red flag" explained the man told off to in- struct Mike.

Since the delivery of President
 ROOsevelt's Provincetown speech, il has developed that he had sent ad-
 vance copies to the press containing
 a highly important paragraph which
 he eliminated when he came 10 de-
 liver the speech. In the advance
 copies he said: Our aim is 10 try to do something effective. Having this in view. the department of jus tice has recently taken steps to see if it is not possible. in certain cOntin- gencies and for certain purposes. to put the trusts that are guilty of wrOngfOing in the hands Of receivers. The purpose of the administration Is tO stamp out the evil. that We shall seek to find the most effective device for this purpose. and thar we shall then use 1t. whether the device can be found in the existing law or must be supplied by legislation" The idea that the administration is able to as- sure a supply of new legislation to suit it's purposes Is as bad as the TO- proposition, says a wssh- ington writer.
