Fifty or sixty years ago. says a
laundering Republican contemporary,
which sometimes blurts out inadver-
tent truth, American vessels carried
IS to 50 per cent, OF the total export
and import trade Of the county. Now
they carry a meagre 10 per cent But
fifty years ago the Government was
administered by the Democratic par
ty. 1t had a tariff for revenue. The
people were lightly taxed. Our ship
pers were enabled to build ships and
sail them in open competition with all
the maritime nations of the world
All that is needed to restore our
merchant marine is to restore the
conditions that made ocean carrying
possible and profitable. Debarred
from having free ships or cheap ships
which are permitted to sail under the
American flag, our shippers who
wish to invest money in the business
Of transportation on the high seas
are obliged to put their money into
ships sailing under foreign flags. The
business, in so far as any effort is
made to carry it on in American-bu
and American-OWned craft, is outlaw
ed. With our absurd tariff and navi-
cation laws we have protected and
regulated it out of existence.
And now the party that has des-
trOyed our merchant marine has the
audacity to ask the nation to restore
it by the grant of subsidies-plainly
to compensate Onr shippers for doing
a losing buSineSSi

STYLES FOR THE
SUMMER SHIRTWAIST
The New Sleeve and Other
N
AdjunCtS of the Fair.

NEW YORK, June S-Although it
is ont of fashion to wear a separate
shiEtwaist from the suit without the
coat, still there are notifications of
this rule of which every one makes
use.
For instance, the white serge, linen
and cheviot skirts carry all manner
of fancy shirtwaists as well as plain
ones, in white, in cream and in
stripes
For house wear the short tailor
skirt of cloth or cotton is worn with
white or colored shirtwaists, but one
must be very careful of this rule;
that the only shirtwaist worn with
a colored skirt is all white or has a
white foundation. If there is a
stripe it should carry out the color of
the skirt, except when the skirt is
white.
The change of sleeves in this sea-
sons shirtWaist has given women
a great deal of altering to do. The
full elbow sleeve is no longer fash
ionable. 1t is out of style in the
shirtwaist as we'll as in the blouse
1t can be easily altered by making
smaller by tUcks or pleats This
should not be done while the sleeve
is in the blouse; it should be ripped
entirely free of the armhole, also one
seam ripped and the fitness taken
up in the desired way

There! Little girl, don't cryl
They have broken your doll,
know;
And your tea set blue,
And your playhouse, too,
Are things of the long ago.
But childish troubles will soon pass
by
There. Little Girl, don't cry!
They have broken your slate,
know;
And the glad wild ways
Of your schoolgirl days
Are things of the long ago;
But life and love will soon come by
There! Little girl, don't cry!
There! Little girl, don't cry!
They have broken your heart
know;
And the rainbow CLEANS

The New Sleeve

While the new sleeve is long, it is
better not to lengthen an elbow
sleeve by adding a long cuff of en-
brOidery or trimmed material. Bet
ter leave the sleeve at it's original
length and finish with a turnover
cuff of embroidery or lace
These cuffs, by the way, when put
on short sleeves, are not fastened
with link buttons. The edges are
joined
The sleeve of this summer shirt
waist reaches we'll over the wrist
or to a becoming point a few inches
above it, The latter is strongly to
be recommended for those who have
clerical or house work Both sleeves
are finished with a turnover cuff
or the straight severe, untrimmed cuff
may be used, with link buttons at
back
The shirtWaist itself is put into
box pleats, side pleats and tucks, US
ually all together. The combination
makes more variety The fastening is
down the front and usually conceal
ed. If buttons show they should be
of very good Quality-carved pearl
preferred

Attached Collars

1t is quite the fashion now to put
the turnover collar into the neck
band. This sounds eXtravagant, but
if the sleeve is long the turnover
cuff, which is always attached, soils
as easily as the collar and necessita-
ties the shirtwaist going to the wash
This collar is made of the mater
ial is not lined or stiffened, and the
wide turnover part is trimmed with a
one-inch frill Of lace or embroidery
sometimes headed by band of col
or.
There is a very little droop at the
waist line to the modern shirtwaist
1t is pulled In rather trigly to show
off the figure. Each woman has her
own way of disposing of the fullness
below the belt, but the neatest meth
Cd it to attach circular lower piece
that lies fiat over the corset and
gives no trouble.

The Grandfather FriII

Much as has been said against the
frill down front going out of fashion,,
it holds its own. There are eXtrem-
lists who wear an immense jabot of
net or fine muslin edged with cOlOred
ribbon and reaching from brooch to
belt.
The usual frill, however, is about
two or three inches wide and edged
with colored muslin, or ribbon if
one prefers. The colOred selvedge is
prettier than the a1l-white.
These can be attached to the shirt
waist or pinned in. If one chooses
the latter method a variety of frills
can be worn with the one waist,
thereby giving a choice Of color
scheme.
The all-colored frilIs have been
tried and found wanting. They are a
trifle heavy on any kind Of a white
shirtwaist.
