SHIP NOT BLOWN
UP BY HER BOILERS

washington, D. c., Oct, l0.-At least
one fact has developed beyond con-
troversy in connection with the exca-
vation going on inside the cofferdam
inclosing the wreck Of the Maine in
Havana harbor That is that the shin
was not blown up by ler boilers. This
fact is proven by the uncovering of the
tops of the boilers which were found
intact, with one exception. That was
in the case of one of the forward
boilers which was not burst but which
had been driven bodily astern by the
blast from the magazines. 1t had
gone clear through a heavy bulkhead
and agains. aue of the after boilers.

important matter to come before the
convention is the proposed raising of
the fee for membership. The minimum
fee is now $6 and it is proposed by a
number of the tribes to increase this

cussion.

Of hand embroidery used was much

PARTISAN WHIMS.

AFTER seeking all the big, renowned
dressmakers' collections, it is pleasant to
visit those which are not ticketed with
some very great name, but which are
really quite as pretty and have the ad-
vantage Of being less expensive" says q
fashion writer in Paris. This week l
went to see Nine. z, whose taste Is
always quite French and quite personal.
TOR she works out her own models en-
.irely after her own researches In the
museums, and never follows In the steps
Of other people unless they happen to be
those she herself approves Of. AS usual,
she has some very good tai!ormadee'
which are just the right sort OF wear for
Nice and Monte Carlo, and her afternoon
gowns are most charming, for they vary
TO suit different types Of women.
There is one girlish mannequin who
puts on the most delightful little gowns
in David Coperfeld. curls hanging down
each side of her face. g middle parting,
and a twisted coil behind. One Of the
models she wears Is In beige silk. made
with lots Of narrow founces from feet
to waist. Each flounce is edged with
black velvet. and down the left side the
round line Of every founce is cut with
a small mother-of-pearl buckle fastening
a tiny velvet bow. The corsage has a
fichu Of creamy net and an over one OF
those on the skirt, only little narrower.
She then shows funny little tailormade
in cream canvas with one rever. Of
right-patterned toile de Jouy. and later
on the sweetest party frocks Of sprigged
muslin with wreaths Of roses and a folded
pink sash.

desirable. Several Of the afternoon
dresses were made with striped velvet

q tunic Of black velvet striped finely
with violet, and a striped gown would
have a plain chiffon tunic. The obvious

AND so 1t really Is all over at last--the
Day that we've worked and planned for Sc
long This Is the day after Christmas
and it's time for US to take UP our daily
round again, and forget it till another
Year be gone
But before you do forget it, Just a word
or two. Another Christmas is coming.
Doubtless you can scarcely realize that
IN your present day-after mood and per
haps it is hardly a welcome realization,
but It's true just the same. And the rea-
son I speak Of It is because there are so
many ways in which you can help your
self by sowing the seeds Of preparation
for another Christmas right now and not
waiting until 1t is too late for them to
take proper root.
IN which to put away Christmas ribbons,
the nice soft paper that your gifts Were
Wrapped in. the left over Christmas
"stickers." stamps, notices and tags, the
all the other little odds and ends OF
Christmas that will come in 50 handy and
save so many much needed pennies at
another holiday season.
Another way Of preparing for Christ
mas, and incidentally for any birthdays
that will be likely to claim your attention.
is to keep weather ear open to hear, and
gift note book ready to receive, the dis
appointments OF your friends and rela-
tives. Il was rather sorry that no one
happened to give me etc." or II did want
such and such,' are extremely good foun-
dations for a welcome gift some other
time. You can also build on the admira-
tons and envy aroused by other peoples
gifts. If one friend raves over the pretty
hatpin or dainty apron which another
friend received. you can safely set it down
that similar gift would probably re-
ceive a welcome from her.
Last year l wrote you about a resolu-
ton which l had made to buy a gift a
month all the year and thus lessen the
final financial strain, take advantage OF
sales and make my final Christmas shop
ping much less strenuous.
want to tell you that ] kept the resoIu.
ton and that 1t proved quite as much a
blessing as had hoped. My method left
ME with little more than an afternoon s
shopping to do. and in better financial
shape to do it, than I have ever been.
heartily recommend it to every one
who has found the past Christmas too
strenuous, either physically. mentally or
financially.

TEACHING A YOUNG
GIRL TO COOK

Although cookery books come in rapid
succession so fast, indeed, that it would
take Sood-siZed library to house them
instead of the modest little shelf that
formerly sufhced for the literature Of the
cuisine-the requirements of the child
cook have been somewhat overlooked.
One of the most popular features OF
the public school exhibitions held each
year is the demonstration by the little
girl cooks from the cooking classes The
leading chefs of the day are inva; iably
to be found In the front ranks Of the on
lockers on these occasions, and are 'oud
in their admiration Of the little girls
skill and resourcefulness.
Not the least pleasing feature of these
displays is the evident delight of the
children in their work. Yorkshire pud-
dings are whisked with a will. pastry Is
proudly rolled out on the Toured beard
and the nicely Drowned meat taken out
OF the oven with a grand flourish that
arouses the envy of every other child in
Nearly every little girl longs to cook
something all by herself, If it is only
candy, or chestnuts over the nuI Sery
fire. and too often those responsible
their care. afraid Of burned fingers an
spoiled frocks, postpone the first cooker
lesson until the girl has her time fully
taken up with the many interests tina,
have been opened out to the modern
schoolgirl, and no longer wants to learn
how to cook.
How. the little girl may take the frs:
steps in the art Of good cooking is told
simply and clearly. in language a,
could be understood by every ctild. in q
new cookery book. which appears on the
shelves of one Of the big bookshops.
Parents confronted by the usual prob.
lem of the birthday present may take a
hint from the book From father there
came to the little girl who appears As
the heroine of this cookery romance a
little white oilcloth-covered table on cas-
tiers. which could be pushed under the
big kitchen table when it was not being
used. Three nice pinafores. with sleeve
and ruffled bibs, were her grandmothe s
present. Shiny new patty-pans. sauce
pans, bowls, an eggbeater and a toa ting
fork were her aunt's Contribution, and
from her mother there was a little cook
cry book made out Of her own cookery
book, and containing all the simple, easy
things that can be made by the little
girl cook.
Early breakfast dishes, luncheon and
supper recipes, easy entrees, sauces,
cakes and sweets make up the contents
of the book, which should prove a very
welcome present to a little would-be
