HAS BEEN OVERHAULED AFTER
RECORD SMASHING VOYAGE
AND Is IN GOOD TRIM
Work and Vessels Will Assemble
for Maneuvers.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Reports
received at the navy department today
state that all the ships of the Atlantic
feet, which have been undergoing a
thorough overhauling since their rec
ord smashing tour of the world, are
about ready to proceed to sea. To-
morrow is the date set on which the
vessels at the various navy yards must
be completed for service and proceed
to Hampton Roads to re-assemble for
the summer maneuvers.
According to the program outlined
at the navy department, the fleet will
proceed to sea on Thursday or Friday,
and any vesssl late in arriving will
join the rest of the command at $50, it
being proposed not to delay the fleet
at Hampton Roads. The program con-
templates anchoring generally for
night on the Southern drill grounds,
partly for exercises in anchoring to-
gether and elementary night exercise.
7 he fleet will return to Hampton
Roads on June "a and after coaling
will, about June 20, proceed to sea
again for drills and maneuvers, ar
irving at ports along the New England
coast on July 2. There will be liberty
for the crews between July 2 and 6,
the fleet reassembling at Rockport.
Mass, on July Z. The target practice
will be held on July II, Is and IA un-
GER conditions more severe than have
ever before prevailed. The subse-
quent period up to August 9 will be
taken up with the exercises at sea,
going over the measured mile and in
turning trials. A feature will also be
made of torpedo defence practice. In
the firing which takes place the
ranges of the target, which will be
moving will not be known and the
guns will be fired while the ships are
rolling in order to present the most
unusual and difficult conditions of at
! tack, such as might exist during act
ual warfare.
Every Sunday during the summer
will be given over to the encourage
ment of boating, fishing and swim
ming parties, in order that there may
be at least that much diversion for
members of the crews. On August 9
the ships will be on the Southern drill
grounds, when the regular record tar
get practice will take place. This is
for purposes of comparison, and much
interest attaches to the result

which up-to -dateness is infalllbiy
proved. Of course, the collariess ood-
ices are not becoming to everybody,
but we are ALL in spite of double chlns,
collarbones and wrinkles under the
ears Welding to the temptation of the
cool. picturesque and comfortable low
collar Very young girls dispense with
even the collar and wear their white
blouses cut out in shallow squares or
in rounded Dutch style, the little lace
or embroidered linen collar being
placed outside the coat to soften the
otherfise harsh line of dark fabric
against the skin. Older women, how
ever are reserving the very low col
lar for house and midsummer wear,
sticking to the neat and dignified stock
for street and dressy occasions.
The accepted finish for either the
low collar or high stock is the little
jabot of pleated linen or or Irish lace
attached to the stock or collar under
a dainty brooch. Canoes, miniatures
and odd jewels set in old gold mount
ings are liked for this purpose; and
really delightful collar brooches are
sold in the shops for less than a dollar,
showing imitation topazes, turquoises
or cabochons of jade or coral set in
rims of tiny pearl beads or in filigree
mountings.

EVENING CHIT-CHAT
By Ruth Cameron

, Their grief about their ruined ca
reers may seem harmless self delusion,
but anything that causes a woman to
indulge in vain regrets cannot be
called exactly harmless
A woman's career is what she is
doing-not what she could have done.
And she is a success or failure in life
according to whether she does what
she is doing we'll or i'll.
The career that most of us women
are following even in the goth centur
is that of homemaking. At times it
may seem lacking in interest and even
in results But if that is so, it is
usually our fault.
Incidentally it may be remarked that
homemaking as career is not with
out honor in the eyes of women who
have achieved success in what most
women would call real careers. Wit
ness Margaret Ellington, who left the
stage where she had the plauditS of
the masses because she wanted a
home and an audience of one, and more
recently Lillian Nordica, who says
that when her approaching marriage
takes place her voice will then be used
for the entertainment of her home.
The actresses, prima donnas, artists
and authors that never were, grieve
because they believe that they have
talents that are lost to the world and
that the would would have enjoyed
and been better for
If they still have the talents there
are plenty of people to enjoy the

why she was unquestionably not

something far more subtle than the
essentials of dress; her suit was
well-cut tailored model of the best
ready made character; her hat was a
mushroom turned up at one side and

The vessels will practically be in 2
condition for action to a degree
which has never before prevailed in

These important changes are mainly
the result Of experience gained durino
the accommodating cruise of the

which the civilian observer will rec

by the experts as least likely to at

greatest degree of invisibility. This
Idea has been carried out by the re-
moval of all the brass fittings. even
to the door knobs, and includes tn,
abandonment of the bow ornaments
and the gilt letters of the sbins'
name.
The removal of the bow ornaments
Is JUSTIFIED not only as means of
taking from the ship a conspicuous
feature, but as accomplishing a re.
duction in the weight carried bv each
vessel. The policy is to reduce these
weights so as to bring each vessel
down to fighting trim, carrying onlv
