BRIDAL TRAINS AND WELLS.
Princess and Empire Models Most In
Favor This Year.

Very long and full and extremely |
graceful is the wedding train of the
present year. The princess and en-
pire models are about equally in favor
just now, while court trains, separate
from the dress itself and falling grace
fully from the shoulder, are seen once
more on many of the handsomest
bridal gowns. Rich ivory satin is al
ways preferred by the conventional
bride, but white embroidered panne or
chiffon velvet with a court train of
satin is beautiful, trimmed with lace
and worn with long lace veil.
A soft satin silk may be more be-
coming than heavy satin, in which
case the train may be of heavy satin
or brocade A hat bordered with a
deep band of lace gives much the
same effect as lace veil and is pre-
ferred by many as being more possible
to arrange becomingly. If the fiat
arrangement of the veil on the hair
that is so much in vogue at present is
not becoming, wreath or cluster of
orange blossoms will give the neces-
sary height if placed like coronet
or tiara in the hair.
The average bride would as soon
dispense with the Lohengrin or Men
delssohn marches as she would be
married without a spray of orange
blossoms on her gown or in her bou-
quet Unfortunately, the natural
| orange flower is too perishable to even
form a bouquet, but real flowers can
be combined with the artificial variety
for trimming on the gown or veil and
can help to make up an attractive
| bouquet with lilies of the valley, gar
| denias, orchids or whatever white
| flower is carried. Care must be taken
that orange blossoms are purchased
not lemon flowers, which look so near
| ly the same and which grow so much
more luxuriantly and are, consequent
ly, far less expensive.

the new head of the bureau is pc
culiarly fitted to dispassionately
judge upon their merits the various is
sues between line and staff that are
constantly arising in the depart
ment.
Capt. Pillsbury occupies an eXcep-
tional position in the navy for man
of his rank in being practically out of
line for promotion to the grade of
rear admiral, though in his capacity
of chief of the bureau of navigation
he will temporarily enjoy that title.
The beginning of the Spanish war
found Pillsbury a lieutenant COM
mander, and because of his tendency
toward high explosives he was placed
in command of the dynamite cruiser
Vesuvius, then regarded as extra haz-
ardous service. That little boat was
then ar unknown quantity in naval
warfare. She was sent down to join
SIMPSONS fleet in front Of Santiago,
and it is believed by military experts
contributed largely to bringing about
the surrender of that stronghold by
the moral effect produced by her
creeping under the Notifications in
the shadows of night and hurting huge
projectiles charged with gun cotton
over the hills and into the harbor
lines. to the great terror of the be-
sieged Spaniards.
Since the war Capt. Pillsbury has
had service at the Boston navy yard
on the general board at Washington
and on the army and navy joint board
He knows the duties of the chief oil
the bureau of navigation thoroughly
having served as assistant to Rear
Admiral Converse when he was head
of that bureau, from November, 1903
to July, 1904. His last duty before
coming to Washington was as chic
of staff to Rear Admiral Evans, il
command of the Atlantic fleet, in or
ganizing which into its splendid state
of efficiency he was potent factor.
It is known that Capt Pillsbur!
did not seek his new duty, but he ha,
the reputation in the navy of refus
ing to apply for any special duty ant
always assuming any assignment
without protest. 1t was that charaC
teristic that led him to undertake tn
command of the little feet headed b.
the cruiser Prairie, which was as
signed to the duty of endeavoring I

New England coast during recen
naval maneuvers. 1t was foregon

Washington.-The vacancy in the
Important Office of chief of the bureau
of navigation, navy department, which
was vacated by the resignation of
Rear Admiral Willard II. Brownson,
has been filled by the appointment
to that office of Capt. John Elliott
Pillsbury, at present on duty in this
city as a member Of the general board
of the navy, and also as member of
the army and navy joint board. Capt.
Pillsbury notified the president that
although he did not seek the office he
appreciated the honor implied in his
selection and would perform it's du-
ties to the best of his ability.
The selection of Capt Pillsbury to
be chief of the bureau of navigation
is at best only a temporary measure
of relief for the friction between the
line and staff which is now distressing
the navy Capt Pillsbury is, per-
haps, more acceptable than any other
line officer (and the vacancy in this
case must be filled from the line un.
der the terms OF the law with the
officers of the staff, though he is by no
means lacking in popularity with his
brethren of the line. Yet he can ex-
ercise his good offices as a pacifier for
comparatively short time only, I'M
less the president should decide to
again have recourse to the doubtful
expedient of commissioning a retired
officer as chief of a bureau. For
Capt Pillsbury was born in Lowell,
Mass, December Is, 1916, and will
consequently have to retire on &C.

AN ADVERTISING TRICK FOR
WESTERN FARMERS.
Real Estate agents" Go After
Men with Land for Sale and
Reap Rich Harvest.

A smooth scheme for separating
farmers from their money has been
worked with much success in South
Dakota. An oily CRATER calls on
farmer and makes bid for his land.
The figures are absurdly low at first,
but by degrees are raised as high as
$50 an acre, and the farmer consents.
Then the visitor explains that he is
only an agent. but that he can sell the
land at the price named if the owner
sill agree ito pay for advertising at
the rate of fifty cents an acre. The
agent" promises orally that the ad-
vertising money will not be payable
until the land is sold, but this stipula-
ton is not contained in a contract
that the farmer signs.
In few days he receives a copy Of
an ad and not over-courteous demand
for money. 1t is said that twenty
two agriculturists were caught with
this bait in Brown County and that
one of them gave up $500. Others de-
clare holly that they will not pay but
they will make fight in the courts.
