The Pace Of Admiralty.

ment OF course the mistress of the
seas will not ignore the challenge, and
we must prepare to hear Of a British
battleship of 10000 tons. says the Bos-
ton Transcript. The Japanese, being
q proud and progressive people, will
not sit stu and may be counted on to
push the building mark on their side
up to 10000 tons. By that time our
own big ship enthusiasts will wake up,
and the taxpayers will be Invited to
contribute the cash for q floating for

for naval supremacy go, the mind of
the competing world being at present
Axed upon displacement as if there
was no other factor to be taken into ac-
count.

It is now the fashion to wear with
any style Of shirt waist a stiff turned
down collar of hand embroidered linen.
Even with the finest lingerie and
cobweb waists stiff collars are now
frequently seen, for at present all col
lars must be just as high as the neck
will allow, and it has been found prac-
tically impossible to keep a soft lin
gerle collar band in place. Then, too,
the silk ribbon bow is always of a be-
coming color and takes away from the
possible simplicity Of the waist. With
a severe tailor Jacket the bow in front
is most attractive, as it fills in he fiat

MOdish Wells.

The extra long wells are not being
worn much this season, for the demand
is for wells that are a yard and a half
or two yards In length and from eight
cen to twenty inches wide.
In the lace hat wells fine net mesh
with a ring dot with either narrow or
wide borders or those of Chantilly lace
are effective. though some prefer the
fine mesh with tiny chenille dots and a
border of lace woven into the net.
Then, too, round velvet dots are used
for wells finished with lace borders.
Most of these borders are floral, and
copies of roses, lilies OF the valley and
conventionalized flowers, and all have
scallopeu edges.
