This is the name that it has always

very pretty and they are worn with
stockings to match. One should be
careful that these stockings do match.
for when they are of another shade of

breasted, fastened with huge buttons
OF brilliants set in a composition like

The revers, which are quite broad,
are made of old blue satin, that very

broidered with heavy silver thread
forming bees. The long sleeves are
without fullness. each fastened tightly
at wrist with a button of brilliants,
and finished with frill of old lace.
The blouse that rises above this
hfgh-waisted skirt is built OF gray filet
tulle in the coarse round mesh that Is
fashionable. 1t is draped over thin
silver gauze. and shows round
guimpe and stock Of Mechlin lace. Its
sleeves are long and tight, made of
tulle wrapped around the arm,

While few women would be willing
to cut up good spread for this pur-

Not only do they make attractive
pillow slips. but If they are made to

the old-time quilts. These one need

The cornerstone of this stupendous
achievement will be laid when work

ton in this city.
Necessity was the inspiration for the
undertaking. naval experts say. The
United States assumed the RESPONSE
biity of patrolling the Pacific when
the Philippines were taken under the
fold of the Stars and Stripes. 1t is
all very well, perhaps, for battleships
to sail forth boldly on months-long
cruises, but Uncle Sam wants to be
in position to call them up, day or
night, and make them feel they afe

High-powered stations similar to the
one soon to be constructed in Wash

Pacific coast. The next step will be
stations in Hawaii. Guam. Samoa and
the Philippines. Wireless communi-
cation with ships in the North At

factory extent With the future
system installed the North Pacific, the
greater portion of the South Pacific
and part of the Indian ocean will be
gathered up and figuratively spread
out in view of the windows of the
White House.
In times of peace the navy depart
ment will be able to guide the ships
at all times with the certainty of
man moving the pieces on chess
board. Should war come the respon-
sibilities of naval engagement need
not rest entirely on the shoulders of
the men aboard the ships. In some
room In the White House a board of
naval experts may sit and flash wire
less messages directing and advising
the feet in its fight.
1t will be difficult to catch Uncle
Sam mapping when he has strung his
lines" around the world. He can warn
his sea fighters against traps into
which otherwise they might fall while
roaming the ocean without news of
events. Admiral Cowles' plans, con-
tanned in his annual report. have
aroused much enthusiasm among
naval experts, who say that with the
building of the proposed stations the
all-world wireless system will be
proved practical undertaking.

Quickly Adjusted Shields.

A girl who has theories on the evils
OF pinned shields will not use the tiny
safety ones sold for that purpose. She
compromises by not sewing In her
shields after each washing, but hooks
them In.
A small. non-rustable hook is sewed
on the corners of each shield, and an
eye to correspond on the proper place
ON the armhole. The preliminary
sewing takes only few minutes. and
is much easier than fastening shield
with needle and thread each time 1t is
changed.
