NEW YoRK'S NEWEST FAD
Tea EdifyinE En-
tertain ment for Fashion
able set.

One OF New York's most original host
esses has devised a new social affair. the
sit-on-the-floor tea. She bases her plea
for II on comfort. but II is evident its
novelty lie the principal attraction In her
eyes, as doubtless It will be in those Of
most of her friends. Telling OF the new
form OF entertainment. she says: My idea
is simply that tea parties are much more
comfortable, more unconventional, and
more delightful generally when the guests
sit on the floor instead OF on fragile, I'M
comfortable chairs. Recently / held in
my house what was probably the first sit
on-the-floor tea party for grown-ups ever
held. 1 warned the guests beforehand
what was expected of them, and they all
agreed to do as l wished. Wen. we sat on
the floor in free, unconventional attitudes.
and the cakes and cups of tea were handed
to the guests as II they were sitting at
table. The most astonishing effect of this
curious tea party was that every man and
woman present seemed to be far more
willing to talk than usual, while one quiet.
shy man was full OF jokes and anecdotes.
Ny experiment was a big success, and /
can Thoroughly recommend other hostesses
to give such tea parties n trial. 1 am con.
WINGED they will become the rage. In my
opinion, 1t Is extremely resting and sooth-
ing to the mind to sit on the floor. One
seems to cast off the cares and worries

QUEEN ALEXANDRA'S METHOD
Retains Her Thin Figure by UnfIaE-
ginE Persistence I'm SIM
pie Food.

1t is only by unflagging persistence in
restricting her diet to the simplest foods
that Queen Alexandra 20 wonderfully pre-
serves her slimness of figure and genuine
appearance of youth.
She is even more painstaking and self
denying in her daily bill Of fare than
John d. Rockefeller. and in this respect
the richest man and the most prominent
woman in the world set the same example
Of the benefit Of restricted eating. Two
thin slices of brown bread, spread with
unsalted butter, are eaten by the queen
before rising. This is at $50 o'clock. and
breakfast at II consists of a little fruit,
one coddled egg. and two dry biscuits.
Then there is a fast until 4 o'clock. when
Alexandra eats two honey cakes.
The queen never touches the course din
ner served for the rest Of the imperial
household. Instead. she eats a few small
French oysters, grilled on toast. celery,
raw or stewed. and a salad dressing with
oil and salt. Her only sweet is an apple
baked with honey. A %favorite luncheon
at Sandringham is whole wheat bread and
fresh buttermilk from a cedar churn
Whenever the opportunity offers. the queen
daily visits the Sandringham dairy and
drinks sparingly of the buttermilk as II
comes from the churn.

JUDGE REPRIMANDS JURY
Sears Says Guilt Was Proven in Case
of j. l.. Coin, TObaccO
Dealer.

Judge Sears scored the jury in the Joshua
L. Cohn tobacco selling case Tuesday morn
ing when It returned a verdict of not
guilty after being out almost twenty hours
You evidently do not believe that these
cases should be prosecuted" said Judge
Sears. There are very few cases in which
guilt is proven any more clearly than in
this case. II a man violates the law he
should be convicted. whether 1t is a large
offense or minor one with which he is
charged"
The jury went out about 4 o'clock Mon
day afternoon and returned early Tuesday
forenoon with a request the evidence of
the state be reread. The foreman said the
jury stood Z to 5 then. After hearing the
evidence again the jury retired and at
Ills returned a verdict of ~acquittal.
County Attorney English said he could
not tell yet what result the acquittal would
have on the rest of the cases. He said he
might prosecute some more and he might
not, as the cases were practically all based
on the same evidence.
Coin was charged with selling tobacco
to minors and his accusers were Paul S.
McAulay, truant officer in South Omaha
and two young boys who said they bought
a package Of tobacco.

BATTLESHIPS ARE ALL RIGHT
Admiral Evans Says American Types
Are Best in World.
SUPERIOR TO THE DREADNoUGHT
Latest Built ships Are Superior 20
Latest of British Design
Answer to ReuterdRhl
CriticiHnH.
wednesday, Railroad Day.

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-That the latest
battleships built by this country are vastly
superior to England's Dreadnought is en-
phatically stated by Rear Admiral Robiey
d. Evans in a magazine article, wherein
he strongly defends the American navy
and replies to criticisms of It made some
time ago by Henry Rueterdahl and others.
II do not for a moment claim that the
Indiana and its sister ships are equal to
the Dreadnought Of the English navy"
says Admiral Evans. only that it is the
equal of the English ship designed at
the same time. But / claim our latest ships
are superior to the Dreadnought and I
believe that every fighting man who has
given the subject intelligent consideration
will agree with me-
Admiral Evans urges the superiority OF
the thlrteen-inch gun over, the twelve-inch
gun and asserts that the change to the
lesser caliber to conform to England's
type was q most serious blunder. Regard
ing the waterline armor belt. he says;
"I am sure, after many weeks of close
observation, that the lower edge OF the
armor belt Is too high rather than too
low"
1t had been ~strenuously commended by
critics that the low location of the belt
was a vital point of weakness.
"Of all the inaccurate and misleading
statements in this wonderful Reuterdahl
criticism" he continues. the most in
correct is that the battleships OF the United
States are in exactly the same condition
as were the Russian ships after the Russo
Japanese fight in the sea of Japan-not
temporarily. but permanently"
II assert" says the admiral, that the
battleship fleet OF the United States never
was and never will be. never can be, in
the condition OF that Russian fleet when
It went into action for the last time"

The long, gliding steps OF the waltz

Of n sheath gown. Hence there has been a
