Concerning Grass

"The park commissioners are doing very well with the means at their conn mand to keep the parks in clean and presentable conditions said a man who spends some of his idle hours in the parks.
 q am very much impressed with the economy and the practical innovation of cutting the grass with a mule power lawn mower. regret to say, how evcr that 1t was mistake to crop the grass close in this extreme dry spell without following the mower with liberal sprinkling of water. By cutting the grass. the roots near the surface are exposed to the heat of the sun and this causes tho grass to wither and take a grayish cast. Now, if 1t could be done without too much expense, 1t would be well for tho park keepers to top dress the grass with slacked lime. Old plaster from build lngs, crushed up, is good for this. Tho best lime dressing is that secured by

 aroused over the loss of pr. Denny from the presidency of Washington and Lee, who comes to the University of Ala bana," said a. prominent citizen. and yet there is the irony of equation un- der the law of compensation looking at the matter from a selfish point of view.
 Well it is remarkable coincidence that pr. Abercrombie, one of our most popular men, who has had charge of the university, and who was displaced, should go to Virginia to take up work for a large Richmond publishing house, and that thereupon the trustees of the University of Alabama should draft pr. Denny from the Old Dominion.
 And Deacon Hemphill, the trans planted palmetto editor from South Carolina. now in Richmond, raises his pen, which he doubtless would like to multiply, as quills upon the fretful porcupine.' Now, Virginia, it would ap- pear, has drawn both pr. Denny and the able Hemphill from South Carolina. Would 1t not be a natural sequence that presently Deacon Hemphill should him. self come to Alabama, into more pro- gressive atmosphere? Many Carolin- ians have come directly to Alabama and have done well; others, 1t would seem, have come and will come, by the way of Virginia. We invite, at least, those who now protest"

ribbon Is light weight, satin surface, in the same color as the braid. Short lengths are shirred over the upper and under brim, alternating with strips of the braid sewed row on row together. A length of ribbon, and length of braid consisting of three rows sewed together in strip a yard long Is used as a drape about the hat A big rosette made of loops of ribbon at the side, toward the back, finishes smart and practical hat for general wear.
 In Fig. 1 band of velvet ribbon or of crushed silk is draped in sash over the place where the crown sets on the brim. This shape admits of quite a variety of finishes. For youth full wearers the single long jaunty quill has lot of dash and go. It is the best solution for the simplest and smartest effects, but not appropriate for any one except young wearers. A tuft of outstanding plumes or fancy feathers for older women, or loops of lace or ribbon, or any of the mountains of flowers which form a complete trimming ready to adjust, will help out the home milliner in making her Easter headwear.

s"HE two small hats shown here
 are designed on novel frames,
 made of shirring wire The frames are covered with null first and then with light silk fibre braid in a fancy weave. The braid Is sewed to the shapes, beginning at the top of the crown, in the simplest manner. As the crowns and brims are separate, they are covered separately, the crowns set on and sewed to place after both are covered with braid
 In Fig. the braid is sewed row after row with silk thread matching 1t In color. It is sewed to both upper and under brim following the lines of the wire frame. This is one of the few shapes which can be successfully covered by the home milliner. AS a rule, hats are difficult this spring and require the knowledge of the profess s1onal milliner to make them success fully. As the braid is very light in weight, heavier braid requires that the facing be of another material, such as chiffon or light weight silk or ribbon, which should, to get the best effect, be shirred on.

NEW STYLES IN LINGERIE E
Underwear Takes on More Attrac- tions Than Usual in Offerings
 for This Season.

In the struggle for life this season, for at some time the lingerie has been reduced to a minimum, underwear has taken on more attractions than usual. The well-ftted models, the exquisite embroidery and the fine materials of which lingerie Is now made are con vincing to the woman who is search ing for bargains
 For brides especially has the new lingerie decided attractions. The fine muslins without stiffening are as varied as the morning hours are from the evening. They should be kept so, too, which point is worth remember ing. They are most durable when lace is absent. In other words, if you are planning a sensible outfit to last more than one year, use embroidery. Even the finest swiss and batiste em- broidery outlasts lace. It can be used a second time in many cases.
 Flounces should not be too full for the spring and summer. The straight skirt is slightly fuller, but does not flare. Its straight lines must not be interfered with by any underfounce.
 Corset covers of allover embroidery or wide flouncing are very sensible for the dressy kind. They should be cut with little fullness at the waist. for the same reason that bulk has been eliminated from the petticoat. The fitted corset cover with the circu- lar pepium is the most satisfactory.
 Nightgowns made on empire lines are probably moving toward first place. The short upper portion Is gathered into a straight band of en- broidery or beading. Flowing or puffed sleeves are quite short.
 AS usual, the handmade lingerie has value not to be gainsaid The French importations will always be favored by the woman with money to indulge her longings.
 The extremely plain lingerie with tape drawing strings and plain seal loped edge is the kind that should ap- peal to practical minds. They com bine daintiness with excellent wear ing qualities, and they are inexpen- sive.
 Demand good-fltting model and high quality of material, and your lingerie will always be in good style.

A Novel Relish.

Guests at an informal luncheon were at first puzzled by dainty look ing relish brought on with the meat. Not until tasted was the secret re- vealed, when they discovered that the crisp, brown little tubes, about two inches in length, were of celery. Large, firm stalks were chosen, and after being cut were dipped in egg and cracker crumbs, fried in deep fat or sauteed in butter, and were serv- ed with brown sauce. Tn the orig inal instance this vegetable was served with fowl. It is also nice with fish creamed in the chafing dish, with oysters, etc.

 The Overdressed Woman.

By the way, Parisians are now de- clariig that the conservative woman Is thSfonly really well-dressed wom- an; that those who rush to the front with the latest eccentricity of hat, or coat, or skirt, in order to attract at tention, are not only not smart in it's fashionable acceptation, but over and objectionably smart. They have in vented a term, contemptuous one, too, by which to express their disap- proval Unfortunately, the term it. self is objectionable to English ears, and loses it's point entirely in trans lation.-Harper's Bazar.

NEW STYLE IN WAISTS
GREAT VARIETY OF DESIGNS NOW
 BEING SHOWN.
New Bordered Chiffons, Marquisettes and CrePes Being Pressed Into Blouse Service With Good Re-
 suIts-VelIed Blouse Popular.

The shops just now are showing a great variety of new waists and among them the yelled blouse has not been forgotten. These in simple lines are made to have a new air and a sugges- tion of warmer days by touch of en- Droidered batiste or linen used in place of lace. A yoke and cuffs with an in- sertion in the front and back, give a springlike air. The lovely new bordered chiffons, marquisettes and crepes are also pressed into blouse service with excellent results. The striped silk tailor-made blouse is very much in evil dence and it is fashioned of striped taf- feta or wash silk, the black and white, blue and white and lavender and white blouses are very dainty looking They are simply made with a few tucks over the shoulders for fitness, frill down the left front, rather scant bishop sleeves and high stock of the same silk, finished with little bow in front. Striped linens and mems shirtings are also much used for these tailored waists. The dressmakers say that bretelles are going to be very much in vogue for the spring and summer sea- son. They come in an entirely new style and give very original touch of a gown. They can be worn with any kind of costume. They are made of velvet ribbon or any other ribbon and may be in black, white or colors. The new bretelles are passed under the belt and are finished back and front with large silk tassel They look particularly well with separate waist and skirt, and in this case they are best made of either black velvet or satin, and finished with heavy black silk tassels. The ribbon used is usual ly three inches wide.
 Hats made of plaid straw are very much worn in Paris and it is predicted that they will be popular on this side too. Those composed of black and white plaid straw and trimmed with big loops or wings of the same straw, will appear first.
 Many of the hats are as ridiculously small as they have been large in the past, and toque and urban forms are the preferred ones. It is, however quite possible that there will be a reaction. since the very small hat is not becom- Ing to every woman and the best dressed woman seeks something which Is becoming rather than the latest styles. For the all-fower hats gerani- ums and violets are the leading milli- nery flowers
 Some of the very high toques are made of heavy white lace on a wire and maline frame. They are trimmed with big loops of white and black silk ribbon.
 Spring suits are made of black and White mohair. Many of the new mohair suits are braid trimmed, and the new mode buckles are very effective.
 Many of the new belts have their buckles made of satin, or silk or they are finished with big medallions of silk or with fiat padded pieces that are hand-worked in Oriental colors. Bead ed belts are much seen.

The Spring BIouses.

With the influx of new waists of sheer cotton material, the yelled blouse has not been forgotten. These, in simple lines, are made to have a new air and a suggestion of warmer days by a relieving touch of embroi. dered batiste or linen used In place of laces
 A yoke and cuffs, with an insertion in the front and back, give a springlike air, The lovely new bordered chiffon, mar quisettes and crepes are also pressed into blouse service with excellent re- suits.

TAFT PROUD OF
NAVY STRENGTH
Review of the Fleet Gains
Presidents Praise.

New York. Nov. 3.-Even to Prest
dent Taft, who is well acquainted witt
the navy, the great Atlantic feet left
with him an ~impression-a feeling thai
the United States is able to uphold Its
policies against any hostile nation II
needr be.
"This is a high type of naval eff
ciency," said tina president, "and II
also shows that orr navy can on very
short notice prepare for war, because
it Is always ready.
1.-THE demonstration has had an edu.
cational value in rousing patriotism,
increasing the general knowledge OF
interest In the navy, In illustrating the
ability to mobilize on short notice and
showing the skill of the officers who
turned the whole feet In the narrow
Hver and sent 1t to sea at the rate Of
II Knots an hour.
THE equipment Of the feet is excel
lent, except as to the number of de-
stroyers and cruisers and GOLFERS In
proportion to the whole number. We
had In the feet twenty-five destroyers,
and to meet the full requirements
there should have been approximate iy
a hundred destrcyers, or an average
of four to each battleshfp. 1t is true
that there has been a marked improve
ment In the type Of Golfers and fast
cruisers in our navy, but 1t is also true
that we haven't a sufficient number.
SIN addition to building great battle
ships other nations are building enor-
nous high speed eruisers-2e knots per
hour, and 1t is believed that our navy
should be similarly equipped. Unless
a navy is maintained at the highest
possible state of efficiency It Is a need.
less extravaganza.
ST am mor than ever convinced OF
the desira bility of comforting upon the
commanding officer Of our feet the
title OF admiral or at least vice ad-
miral. AT present the ranking officer
Is q rear admiral, and this title Is not
commensurate with the importance Of
the feet. At the review of the Ger
man feet at Kiel a smaller number of
ships WAS under the command of a full
admiral, two squadrons were COM
manded by a vice admiral and four di.
visions were commanded by a rear aas
uiral."
The noblest side Of the review was
the struggle the feet won against gale
and current, that 1t might swing In a
narrow river, point straight and coma
down the Hudson In the alignment or
dered, 400 yards between ship and ship
and 800 yards between divisions. Nav
igators Of the experience of Rear Ad-
miral Richard Wainwright said they
had never Sea @4ysiaiag nner in their
experience.
The departure Of the Atlantic feet
on a wind blown river and sea pro-
vtded a spectacle that exploded cheers
all along the Manhattan and Jersey
shores. Perhaps LOCO. 600 people were
able from river sides and excursion
steamers to ace something OF the 10.
view and OF the fleets departure.
