John HAY had a saying that the
- ideal diplomatic service-if any
government ever succeeds In having
one-will be composed exclusively of
unmarried men. Mr.. Hay had no ex
perience in naval matters, or he might
have included the navy in his maxim.
There probably is no branch of the
government service, the Washington
Post says, where petticoat influence
is so strong as in the navy. Ask any
ex-secretary Of the navy about it and
he will tell you how the navy women
in a thousand different ways, some
times unconsciously and occasionally
deliberately, annoy the navy depart
ment. He will tell you how they
scheme to obtain desirable posts of
duty for their husbands or sons and
how they annoy the department with
requests for a change of orders when
their husbands are transferred from
an easy job in Washington to sea duty
on the Asiatic station or some other
far-away tropical post. The recent row

THE SCANTY NEW SKIRTS.
A Woman Should Well Consider Her
Lines Before Wearing One Of
These Deformitles.

The modern fashions with their
scanty skirts and tied up look about
the heels, does not make for grace
and should be judiciously worn If one
is not to appear ridiculous.
A woman who dons one of these de-
formities should not only consider her
lines but must go to a dressmaker
who knows lines. Otherwise results
are deplorable when not laughable.
If you cannot afford to go to the
best dressmakers never go in for ex-
aggerations. Put thought into your
toilet and remember that If women
who are sensible will not refrain from
being slaves of the passing mode with
no thought Of incongruity, womea who
are vain should.
Go especially slow on the new skirt.
Some are impossibly ugly; most are
unbecoming, save to the beanpole
type, as they cut us in two; and all
give women a carriage that is a com.
bination of slide and wriggle which
makes the walk of the Chinese woman
of fashion with her bound feet an
athletic stride in contrast.

"sunbonnet" babies asking a dozen
children to come in their "rompers"
from to 5. On a bright Saturday
afternoon the merry throng appeared
to find load of delightfully."- clean
sand; set of sand toys for each child
and a pail and shovel. There was a
low table, tub Of water with which
to mix the sand to the right consis-
tency for pies; spoons, cake tins, and
shakers to sprinkle sugar" and salt"
Oh Joy, there was a dish of flour for
icing.
1t was the Jolliest, happiest party
imaginable. Sandwiches, ice cream,
cake (angel food) and lemonade were
served and each child took home the
sand toys for souvenirs, including the
shovel and pail.

Heads of Navy Are Annoyed By Women

minated In the court-martial of two
officers. illustrates the prominent part
women play in navy circles.
Almost everybody knows of the
mutual i'll feeling existing between
the navy women and the department.
Every once in a while something hap
pens to widen this breach. Only a
few days ago Ensign Charles M. Aus
tin, son of Representative Richard
w. Austin of Tennessee, was deprived
of an especially desirable berth by the
navy department merely because he
got married. He had been detached
from the dispatch boat Dolphin at the
Washington navy yard and ordered
to Japan for duty as a student at
tache at the American embassy at
Tokyo for the purpose of studying the
Japanese language. On the way to
his new post of duty he stopped at his
former home in Tennessee and was
married to a girl he had known for
many years.
This was too much for the unro-
mantle departmental authorities, who
suddenly decided that a married en-
sign would not make as good a stu
dent of the Japanese language as a
bachelor. Accordingly his orders
were revoked and instead of spending
his honeymoon in Tokyo he will have
less interesting service at the naval
training station on the Pacific coast.
He will, however, have his wife.
