This dining room is a very imposing apartment,
with green wall hangings. heavy carved furniture
and lofty ceiling studded with electric lights. On
one of the long walls of this apartment there is
arranged the admiraps famous collection OF Fill
nino weapons including knives, spears, shields
and other pieces of decided decorative value. Con-
spicuous on the opposite wall is mounted moose
head and an ingenious map of the world fashioned
from hemp by Filipino weavers. Opening from this
room is the breakfast room. which is used by the
Deweys for all family and informal dinners.
In some respects the most interesting room In
the admraIs home is the blue ROOM, sort OF

Then she looked UP to see if he was

But Cronlin sat regarding her in a
Quizzical, abruptly uncertain manner
that was disconcerting. He was smil-

BILE to the sober little stenographer.
Perhaps it was the unconscious radi-

acute sense of her own sensitive one

She felt isolated and depressed as IL

A Matter of DictatiOn
By NELLIE C. GILMORE


Cromlin entered his Office with a
brisker step than usual. His face was
flushed and an unaccustomed sparkle
made his gray eyes look black. There
was determination In every linea
ment. and a joyous confidence that
spelled considerably more than mere
hope. He had made up his mind al
last, and he felt with supreme gratifi.
cation that his period of self-restraint
was going to net him compound in
terest on his future happiness
A pile OF briefs was stacked up on
his desk. but Cromlin pushed them
aside and gave his attention to the
letters that had arrived in the morn
Ing mail. There were only few, and
he dismissed them after a hurried
iperusal of the most important ones.
Two or three times he took cut his
watch waiting anxiously for the
hands to get around to nine o'clock At
last just as the clock on the next
corner struck the hour. the Office door
opened and closed quietly, and Miss
Benson entered.
He looked up and nodded a casual
good morning.
The girl took off her hat and laid
1t on a table. Then she went to her
desk and sat down. There were sew
eral envelopes left over from the day
previous, to be addressed, and with
out a word, she pulled up her ma
chine and began the task.
alternately lingering the leaves of a
dog-eared reference book on his desk,
wheeled suddenly in his revolving
chair and studied the profile bent at.
tentively over the typewriter.
In Is minutes she had completed
the addressing and sealing, and placed
the mail in basket. Then she turn
ed to her employer and waited for fur
Their directions.
Now, for the first time, Cromlin
noticed that the girls face had grown
politically thinner and palsr and that
her eyes were Swallowed by purple
rings.
There are only few letters this
morning, Miss Benson" he said, "and
! think after that you'd better go
home and rest"
She threw him startled look, and
the crimson suffused her cheeks.

his voice, despite its tenderness,

1t was only few years after this however,
that Nelson himself wearing an epaulet not
only on a single shoulder, but on both.
In the United States navy uniforms were pre-
scribed from the outset-but with the very wise
clause inserted as parenthesis, 'ff they can be
procured" BY a resolution of the continental
board of admiralty captains were to have a coat
of blue cloth with red lapels, slashed cuffs, a

of the admiral-officers who served
with him in the Pacific and else
where. OF course they called upon
him on his birthday and he met
them at social functions during the
week.
As for the admiral himself he
lives very quietly these days and he
does not introduce many frills in
his celebration of his birthday ami
versary. On that day, as on every
other, he devotes a good share OF
the late afternoon to long carriage
drive, probably handling the reins
himself. Formerly the admiral in
dulged in a horseback ride as his
daily outing, but with advancing
years he has almost abandoned this
strenuous exercise. In addition to
his daily ride he is won't to walk
more or less each day, walking to
and from his office at the Navy De-
partment Annex building and in this
walk, on his birthday, he had as his
companion his only son, regard
ing whom the public has heard so
little
The big event of the day, how
ever, was the admirals dinner party
in the evening. The most promi-
nent men in the nation gathered
around the festive board and the
president of the United States was
a guest. The dinner was prepared
by the admirars famous Chi
nese cook, who has been with him
ever since the stirring days at Ma
Mia bay, and who is famous for his
appetizing dishes. The informal an
niversary banquet-with its gor-
geous birthday cake-was served in
the dining room of the admiraps
present home-the house to which
he removed when the dwelling CIV
en- to him by the nation, in graft
tude for the victory of May l,
proved rather too small to enable
him to entertain his friends as he
desired to.
