ground and the chemisette and sleeve
trimmings are of tucked taffeta.
Darker colorings could be used, how
ever, if something more serviceable
is liked or the chemisette and cuffs
could be made of the muslin that is
always dainty and charming and va
rious other changes might easily be
made If the chemisette is made of
muslin or of chiffon and the lining
beneath cut away it will give the
transparent effect that always is so
pretty and so dressy.
The waist is made withthe fitted lin
ing, and consists of front and backs
with the chemisette. The front is
laid in tucks, but the backs are plain
and the closing is made invisibly. The
sleeves are distinctly novel and are
arranged over fitted foundations.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three yards

yards twenty-seven or one and FIVE
eighth yards forty-four inches wisle,
with five-eighth yard of silk for the
vest and five-eighth yard eighteen
inches wide for the chemisette and

Boomers such as these are ex-
,ceedingly desirable garments, not for
the exercise suit alone, but to be
worn in place of petticoats during
the winter months. They are much

made from dark blue serge, simply

could be made from mohair or from

Importance OF navy is shown in the
Constitution, which restricts the ap-

no limit for those for the navy. There
is no such thing as friendship be-
tween nations as between men. Ma
lions make IN sacrifice to preserve
friendships and do not forbear to do
certain things because they do not
meet with the approval of another
nation. Do you think England cares
a cent for what we think of her
navy? Or Germany cares a cent?

New York City.-A canvass of the
sentiment in dozen important
trades, as expressed by members of
different industries and the edi-
torial opinions of recognized trade
journals in the last few days, has
Developed distinctly hopeful tone
for the outlook for 1908. or 1907
there is apparently common opin-
ion-that the first eight months
were satisfactory to marked de-
gree, and in some instances sur
passed former records as far as vol
nme of business was concerned. The
financial disturbances of last fall,
however, brought about a great
change in this respect. and several
trades suffered severely. A state
ment of conditions in a majority of
the trades covered appears to those
most interested to justify the expec-
tations of good business in 1908.
Particularly is this the ease in a
good many of the dry goods trades.
A member of one of the largest i'm
porting houses in New York. whose

that the reports which lis firm re-

for a trade recovery all over the

In conjunction with his belief in
the obligation to build ships. Justice
Harlan holds that it is the duty cF
the country to fortify Thoroughly
every seaport under the American
flag and make it impregnable. War
comes suddenly, he says, and from
the most peaceful outlook 1t may de-
velop before it is possible to make
preparations, or even to build a
battleship, much less a navy.
He believes that nation which is
weak in martial spirit. or which has
not strong navy. is in danger of
being forced into war when it is
not desired. and when the nation Is
least able to meet such an emergency.

the alleged kimono sleeve of the fash
