This is a smart way of making a
simple blouse; delaine, Jap silk or vi
yella might be used for it. Three one
inch tucks and a box-plait are made
across front, while the back has two
tucks each side continued from the
front ones on shoulders. The collar
and cuffs are edged with narrow lace
or material frill if preferred.
Materials required Two and one
half yards SO inches wide, one and
one-half yard lace edging.

JUST BEFORE THE BATTLE.
Admiral Dewey Explains His Feelinqs
 Before the Manila Fracas.

sitting in his office recently and looking upon the old sea chest which contains the records of that fateful day al Manila l asked Admiral Dewey what was uppermost in his mind the night before the battle of Manila. when he contemplated entering a har-
 bor mined with torpedoes. His eyes sparkled as he replied:
 All night and all morning my mind had reverted to one picture that of Flag Officer F;arragut. whom first met at New Orleans in 1861
 There were no admirals in those days. the captains being the highest rank ing officers, and our commander was the flag officer. We young cadets grew instinctively to admire the in trepid Farragut and that night at Mobile will never be forgotten. when his voice rang out loud and clear:
 " Damn the torpedOes-full speed ahead Somehow that command would ring in my ears every time danger confronted us. One does not instinctively think of himself in such moments, but of some hero whose life has impressed him.
 Then I ventured to ask the admiral why he did not give his command at Manila in some dramatic and sten- torian way like Farragut. With that modesty known only to Dewey he re- piled, 'I was not thinking of myself; ] was thinking of Farragut"
 Dewey's command to begin one of the greatest battles in all history was given in an ordinary tone. as if he were simply ordering cup of cof- fee History records it that he calmly said to the commander: "Gridley, when you are ready. fire"
 History is made by the men who carry with them all their lives some ideal. and who, with limitless bravery and courage, give in less than sixty seconds those commands that make history for ,ages.-Joe Mitchell Chap pie in Chappie's News Letter.

ernor Hunt will vote for Wilson. It is quite certain that large numbers of them will vote for Roosevelt.
 Then, with division of that kind. what will become of the democratic majority? With the republican vote solid for the president, defection of 1900 or 1900 democratic votes would give the state to him
 As already suggested. this is in no sense prophecy. It is merely an analysis of an extremely interesting political condition. It is an attempt to arrive at the actual status Of the political case as it now appears And while it is an axiom that anything may happen" in politics the fact re- mains that so far as present ndica - ticns count the republicans are in better shape in Arizona than is eith- CT of the other competing parties.

ARE AMERICAN GIRLS PRUDEs?

Would that I were not Puri- tani" cried Doris. T have lived a good and eminently tiresome life. and l it never really occurred to me be- fore that the streak of my Puritan Il ancestors is what has kept me prg- gsh and miserable.
 "I believe it's the trouble with Americans. If only we had been started by a band of debonair young F'renchmen instead of those grim old parties-wouldnt we be lot iollier nation. though? You see. as it is now with this legacy of asceticism we just miss all the heights-the old Puritan grandfather jerks us back just as we reach the brink of Ar cady.
 Tt keeps us from beauty it keeps us from art and I really believe those old men are chiefly responsible for the greatest lack in the average American woman's clothes. and that is-the art oF charm. We are so foolishlv afraid to be charming
 We are past masters in the art of excusing our coquetry on perfect ly matter-of- fact grounds. If we wear frock draped up oyer the ankle. it's because it's so easy to walk in If we wear our furs hang ing coyly off one shoulder. we say it's because ones throat should not be pampered.' And we think we're being sincere-that's the lovely thing about it
 Now, if we were consistent as the French woman I wouldn't complain if, in our Puritan insistence on truth. we lived lives of asceticism and wore clothes of the convent. instead Of putting out so hesitatingly baby finger and making timid iab at the game of allurement!
 There's the secret of the French woman's superiority in dress-she's not afraid to openly dress for dec oration. The American still shics about and tries to deceive herself and everyone eIsc that she dresses for utility Why not he sincere in our sincerity?
 You may polish your finger nails until YOU arc positively 8 menac" in sunlight. but redden your lips? Hor- TOTS. what scandal! Nice women don't do #. my dear.
 You may wear 2 tight skirt tight that are absurdly mincing. but carry vour head with knowing airo Shocking my child. shocking, You must act as if you didn't know you couldn't take a step nor" than six inches long and to study how to take those six inches coduettishiy- why. it's not to be thought of at all!
 We eagerly and secretly wonder just exactly what is real and what isn't in the French woman's makeup. and we feel sure that she's not quite nice because she looks sO-wen. you know, So we look a little less allur- ing and feel little nicer. l won der if we are''-NeW York Herald.

WILD SWIRL Of POLITICS
Continued from Page D.

and practiced by Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln
 The significance of this statement lies in the fact that the progress sives' in Arizona are evidently look ing to the democrats as much as to the republicans to supply their voting strength. This is made certain by the invoking of the names of Jeffcr- son and Lincoln Indeed since the Sage of Monticello is given the great CT prominence by being named first. 1t would seem the progressives are relying for their support to a greater extent upon the democratic party than upon the republican party.
 And there is good reason to believe their expectations in this regard will be fulfilled Anyone who attended the democratic ratification meetings recently held on the City Hall plaza and heard the cheers that the nama of Roosevelt evoked could hardly doubt that very large share of the support which the insurgents will re- celVe III Arizona will come from the democrats
 Ihls brings us back to a consider alton of the probably ultimate effect Of the new movement In the frenzy Of political excitement that prevailed following the nomination of Wilson some of the enthusiastic democratic leaders talked about majority of 10000 in this state for the New Jer- sey man.
 It is not to be supposed. however that any sane individual. even con, ceding that Wilson may carry the state, believes for moment it is possible for him to secure any such majority as that. But it is just as easy to say 10000 as 1000 and. from the democratic standpoint. it sounds better That accounts for the exag- gerated mathematics
 There may be 35,0O0 votes cast in Arizona this fall A plurality of 1000 in vote of that proportion is d good sized plurality. But with three tickets in the field the chances are that the successful candidate will have q much smaller lead even than that The democratic majorities of 1000 to 1900 which prevailed in the last election, it will be seen. might easily be wiped out completely in the present complicated situation
 And when one looks at it calmly it will be seen that there is every reason why the democratic majority might be wiped out. As already said 1t IS not so large as to be a hope less proposition; and for another req son it is solely a question of the quarter from which the Roosevelt strength will come
 In trying to get at this matter it must be remembered that the dem ocratic party in this state goes far beyond ''progressivism' as this term is ordinarily used. In fact it borders SC closely on socialism that there is little to choose between the two par ties It then becomes a natural in- quiry-where will dssa tisfied Arizona democras most likely cast their po- litical fortunes?
 It would seem there are just two IlaCes where they are likely to go either to the socialist camp or tn the Roosevelt camp. And it makes little difference which
 But is there likely to he any con- siderable democratic disaffection? This, of course. is the important question. and it is a question that
