Smart Street Costumes.

"AILORMADES are in many in
stances made of two contrasting
= materials. the skirt often being of
checked or plaid material and the coat
plain, with revers and cuffs correspond
ing with the skirt. Other models have
coats that are made of wool, plush and
the skirt Of a patterned MORE, charmeuse
or Wool-back satin. The more simple
walking costumes are of a striped broad
cloth with a plain jacket that has the
skirt material introduced as trimming.
Some straight sack coats are being
Worn. They hang loose. and almost di-
rectly opposed to these are the new loose
circular effects in cloaks and wraps. The
fullness is sometimes shirred, peasant
fashion, to small yoke. and the arm
hole is concealed by clever devices. Inc
half-long jacket is seen, and the cutaWay
is a favorite. The heavily embroldered
vest is noticed on many of the later
models. Many of the coat sleeves snow
the gauntlet cuff. and pretty new eHect
is the braided buttonhole. Braided ef1ectS
will be very popular. especially heaviy
braided suits.
The Robespierre or Directofre collar Is
fashioned on most of the new models,
and many new effects are seen. Belts are
appearing and instead of the belt going
all around to the front it stops at the
side, and often just FAINT suggestion
is apparent. Leather and satin are tavor-
lite materials for this purpose.
A very smart street costume Is made
of deep peacock blue broadcloth. The
skirt is striped with black and has four
deep folds springing olt from the side
seam below the knee. and gradually dis
appearing in back. The jacket extends
a little below the hips. and has deep re-
vers and cuffs of the striped material
bound with black satin, and small
round black satin collar. The front skirt
seam is bias from toe to hip, and the
skirt closes in front.
Plaid will be very fashionable. A hand
some street toilet was seen made of a
blue, red and green plaid taffeta, the un-
de part. and front panel being made of
lace.
great change is seen in the skirts. A
few paits discreetly placed are often
seen. An inverted plait in front or back
is often seen on the new models. Some
tailored models have a modified pannier
effect A new tailored skirt has made it's
appearance 1t is plain in front. and the
inverted back plait discloses set-in piece
of very tiny plaits that are noticeable
only in walking. Some hip zones with
plated lowers are seen, and many ma
chine plated skirts have made their ap-
pearance.

its discharge has been such that the tor

a considerable angle away from the di-

decide to scatter tacks in the way of the
automobile instead of shooting at its
tires. they plant mines.
The United States has ship. the cruis
plant mines. This ship can steam along
and drop mines off as she goes. Battle
ships perform the same task less auiv
matically.
Mines may be opened up and the gun
cotton taken out. When the mine is to
be laid the gun cotton is put inside In
the practice stunts of mine laying gun
cotton is duly put in place The neces-
sary connections are made and the bomb
made alright. One thing is left out in
the practice This is the detonator The
detonator is the trigger of the trap. When
the mine is stuck this detonator makes an
electrical connection which sets or the
gun cotton. The ship that sets on this
mine is in for a stiff jolt and a large hole
in it's bottom. 1t need not actually strike
the mine to accomplish this. The dis
turbance of the water hundred feet
away may accomplish this result. A dis
charge of mine a hundred feet away
may still put a hole in the ship.
The mine is to be set in the path Of q
coming fleet of battleships. 1t is not de-
sired that it should be disturbed by small
craft for this is not the game that we
are after. 1t may therefore be set at
depth too great for them. The United
States has its own secret device for set
ting a mine at given depth. When this
device is adjusted the mine and anchor
may be thrown overheard and the mine
will sink to the required depth and the
anchor will hold it there without refer
ence to the depth Of water.
Whenever a fleet is entering into hostile
waters where there is danger of mines,
there is precarious work ahead. 1t is
here again that the destroyer, that leader
of forlorn hopes and taker of long
chances, is again called into play. Ine
