Washington Furnishes Prize Summer Fish Story

FISH stories may go and fish stories
may come. but the piscatorial yarn
related by Capt. Charles H. Thomp-
son, a sea-beaten mariner of Miami.
Fla, makes all others appear like a
bush league alongside of Ty Cobb.
Said fish was right in the midst OF
Washington for more than five months
while a Washingtonian. J. S. Warm
beth, mounted It.
AS Captain Thompson. in company
with w. l. Brooks and a Norwegian
sailor, were cruising of the coast OF
Miami, Fla, on June 1. 1912. there
hove into sight a huge monster, the
like of which man never before had
laid eyes upon. A mighty struggle
for supremacy ensued and man was
declared the victor.
Five harpoons and 151 bullets were
required to subdue the monster. and 1t
took five days to kill It. Before 1t
was under control 1t smashed a boat
into thousands of pieces and knocked
the rudder and propeller of a 31-ton
yacht. The crew was towed around
the ocean for 80 hours by the monster
at a speed of about 40 miles an hour.
When 1t was finally brought into shore

ers seek to interest women, because
women read advertisements as well
as news. these publishers address
themselves almost exclusively to Ihe
interests Of men.
Mr.. Dryer, the editor. dreamed Of
the Bulletin 20 years ago when he saw
his copy blue penciled by the press
associations. He yearned for an un-
trammelled medium for the expression
of his views without the Intervention
of copy readers or editors. The re-
suit was the Bulletin, a single sheet
newspaper. 22x25 inches in size, print
ed three times a day-at noon, at
three o'clock In the afternoon, and at
seven o'clock in the evening. BIZ
cycle messengers distribute 1t to the
subscribers.

place. The page is filed with about
800 words Of news. This is ''fringed''
with an array of advertisements.

MORE THAN EVER POPULAR.
Increased Use Of Belt Largely Instru'

Charming Models In Crepe and
Chiffon and Taffeta.

The separate blouse has been grad
ually gaining favor for the past few
seasons, but this season, with the re-
newed vogue of the belt. the outlook
is even better than usual.
Our illustration shows an admirable
evening blouse of chiffon. The blouse
is made of white chiffon yelling q
broad sash of delicate pink silk. Bands
of black chiffon edged with black
beads, are draped over the white chif-
fon bodice and sleeves. There Is a
corset belt OF pale blue silk.
Some good blouse models Of dressy
character made in a combination of
crepe and chiffon have the shoulder
and upper part Of the bodice of the
chiffon, while the lower part of the
bodice and sleeves are Of the crepe.
There are some charming blouse
models in taffeta of the soft supple
sort which have an original note In
the way Of embroidery In color on
blouse front or yoke. One is an ex.
tremely attractive blouse of apple
green taffeta. The yoke has roses en-
broidered in color sprinkled over Its
surface. There is an outstanding frill
OF white at the V-shaped neck, sur
rounded by black silk ribbon, which
is tied in a smart bow at the lower
part of the v at the front. The long
sleeves are finished by black silk cuffs
edged with white frill.
Another blouse Is of old-gold tat
feta, embroidered in blue. There is a

DICTATES OF FASHION.

Hatpins with extremely small heads

The wired lace ruff suggesting the
Medici collar Is new.
A novelty introduced this season is
cotton goods with beaded border.
Many walking costumes have wide
girdles, which extend even below the
natural waist line.
The wide MILDLY blouse ties in plain
colors often are finished with an ich
hem of striped silk.
Short frills of the same material as
the broad fiat collar are fastened at
the neck with bows of black velvet
ribbon.
A tiny frilling of footing is the
finish to the edge of the brim of a
white tailored hat worn with a white
serge suit.
