broidery TO be observed on the oest
looking street suits Of the season. but
many OF the smart models are bound
with wide braid. The very high class
suit seen among the Illustrations is OF
gray mixed suiting bound at all It's
edges with q black braid and trimmed
with black and white buttons. A white
hat, white gloves and black patent
leather boots with tops OF calf COM
plete this very correct street costume.
Every effort IL being made to bring
back the plated skirt In the lighter
weight materials the accordion plated
skirt Is an accepted fashion. and now
come in the heavier fabric skirts with
plaits at the side or falling below the
overskirt This plated effect Is often
combination of box and side plaits.
The plating does not extend to the top
OF the skirt but Ia merely q deep
flounce sewed into a close fitting foun-
dation or top. All the pla1ts are held
down by a ribbon stitched to the in
side of the plaits. thus keeping them
always in place and giving the fash
ionable straight line
A typically correct costume with a
plated skirt Is pictured. It is made of
is a cutaway model And speaking OF
coats, the sleeves and revers on the
new models are so different and 1t will
require so much remodeling to bring
them into line with this seasons cut
that 1t will be far better to leave them
as they are and save the money that
would have to be expended in doing
them over toward buying an abso-
lutely new costume.
There is a fancy for high necked
fastenings on the new coats. and this
very sensible idea Is carried out on a
French tailored suit shown in tho
group. The many buttons used on the
costume are very chic, and the skirt
is draped q wee bit at one side.
Another of the cuts displays the
draped influence in a directoire cos
tune with slashed coat OF broadcloth
over draped skirt of satin The skirt
is short enough to show the buttoned

4OOTFI ANNIVERSARY OF DISCOVERY OF PACIFIC.

Next year will be the four hun dredth anniversary of the dcovery Of the Pacific Oeeon. According to some historians the considerable stretch of water between America and Asia was first viewed by a white man from the shores of the New World on the fifth of Septern Der, 1519, just 399 years ago today while others give the date as Sept. 25. San F'rancisco's pro- opening of the Panama canal will thus come very near to celebrating the fourth centenary of the discovery
 Those who have experienced a storm on the Pacific will incline to the opinion that the ocean was named disregard of the veracities. Such was not the case It was VaSco Nunez de Balboa. a Spaniard, who first gazed out on the Pacific, at a point not far distant from where the '.big ditch'' will soon connect it with the atlantic, and who gave the ocean it's mislead- ing name. In, the words of Keats: He stared at the Pacific,-and all his Looked at each other with a wild Silent, upon a peak in Harien."
 The Darien referred to by the poet is the isthmus of that name, often used as synonymous with the 1sthmus of Panama, but more strictly applied to the neck of land between the Gulf of Darien and the Pacific. Balboa, a
  time wa5, governor of F1ispaniola- now called Haiti-was firm in the be ; lief that another great ocean would be found west of the American main land In the late Summer of 15137 he set forth with an expedition to prove his -surrnise. Accompanied by 2 small band of followers, he forced his way through the jungles of ttne Isthmus of. Darien, and, with an In-s dian chief named Ponca as guide, as-5 cended the summit of "a mouptain4 1.ar Arrived on Heights l. boa left his followers behind, and ad-s 'Vancing alone, tos the western decliv-. ity, was the first to view the vast and unknown ocean, The waters were.re4 markedly quiet, so Balboa called his ocean the Pacific. Surrounded by his followers Balboa walked into the wa. ter a little way, holding in his night. hand a sword and in his left the ban-. nerz of Castiie, and calmly and, solemn ly announced that the ocean and all the lands whose shores it+ bathed were the property of the crown of Castle and Leon.
 For thus adding to the dominions; of his sovereign Balboa was not per-, mitted to go unrewarded. He was deprived of the governorship of His paniola and had his head chopped off

LAKE SUBMARINE
 C 1 IS SPEEDIEST
 IN ALL THE WORLD

Official tests of the Seal, c. L., sub marine, partly built at the Lake ship yards in this city, began yesterday off Marblehead, Mass, and word was received today to the effect that the boat passed through its speed tests with good results. It attained an average speed of 14.7 knots and in the submerged test, an average of 10.s knots. Both these marks exceed the contract requirements.
 The boat is expected to fu1du ali expectations. Bridgeport people are much atnterested because the boat has been seen floating around in local wa ters good deal during the summer It was started in Newport News, Va and finished in this city. Captain Sloan Danenhauer is in charge of the boat
 The government requirement. calls for a, speed of 14 knots on the surface and 9.5 knots submerged. This makes the c 1 the fastest submarine in t1e world, according to the experts at the shipyards of the Lake company here

PUBLIC OPINION

 sir-My good friend, MT. Lynn W. Wilson, has been nominated for some thing or other after strenuous hand to hand eye gouging, hair pulling con test. don't know what it was all about, but twas a glorious victory. The opposition. beaten and baffled, crawled disconsolately into their holes and pulled the aforesaid holes in af- ter them.
 It is common knowledge among the elite who have opinions worthy of consideration that Wilson will keep them "bott1ed in'' until they develop tfvities and will be glad to get away with what small remnants of self es- teem they may have remaining
 Personally know nothing of the question at issue, don't know the op- position from a side of beef, but L do know Wilson. I know that what he namely generous, and actuated by mo- tiVes of high honesty and integrity. And so far as ability to understand the intricacies of any matters of muni- cerned, Wilson has his opposition lashed to the mast, the compass thrown overheard and their good t'Piffle'' drifting in the Sargasso Sea
 Wilson is honest. sincere, and single in his motives. He has no fat gud- geon to fry in rifh, e1i,Gs thick Gorporation chasable. On the principle of induc- tive reasoning am convinced that whatver Wilson opposes politically must be grafty ridden, iniquitous, sod den and generally putrescent. What ever he contends for is clean, whole some, economically helpful and ad- Vantageous to the community.
