the informal social hours of the day.
Paris muslin, cotton chiffon and organ
die still available and these are the
choice for such frocks for ulhIillhs
one wants fine cluny lace instead of va
lenciennes and a coarse variety of shadow
or maline lace.
Irish crochet is used. but it should not
be given precedence over the thin laces
which rule the day. There is also a re-
turn to the fashion for lierre lace and
the ara bian and bohemian thread laces,
but none of these is available for the
muslin gowns. They belong with net and
eyelet embroidery.
1t would be wiser for a woman to choose
wash crash for her everyday gowns and
make them up with the plain skirt fast
ened down the side or middle front with
large pearl buttons and a blouse that Is
free and full over the figure with lowered
armholes and shallow hip yoke. This
should button a line with the skirt.
and if one wants trimming on it then l.se
patches of Balkan embroidery or soutache
braidfng which has returned to fashion
in daring designs.
If one wants separate skirts to wear
with white blouses in the morning one
must keep to the pattern of last summer,
which has not changed in the slightest
it has no flare in the seams. is narrow at
the hem, extends for one or two inches
above the normal waist line and fastens
Gowns of White Net.
The most acceptable lingerie gown of
the day is of white wash net embroidered
with white floss in a heavy. thick design
that redeems the gown from insignii-
canoe. With this net is often combined
eyelet embroidery. For instance, there
will be a skirt of the former draped into
three ruffies and coat of eyelet embroid-
cry reaching to the hips and belted in
with bright orange or Chinese blue satin;
this girdle will have sash ends at side or
back.
The most daring type of white lingerie
gown in net and embroidery has a skirt
with 4 deep ruffie to the knees falling
over a narrow skirt Of white satin: the
bodice Is sharply surplice. has armholes
half way to the elbow and has a girdle
of Balkan blue, which passes around the
waist then spreads itself into wide sash
which covers the hips at the back and
sides and is knotted i'll the middle of
front This is the Persian sash. which is
to be in high fashion this season.

thing about the methods employed The principle,
however is one that every schoOlboy knows. II IS
simply that Of solving triangle when two angles and
the side included between them have been given.
This one side in Coast Artillery usage IS base line,
measured for distance Of two miles or Whereabouts
along the shore AT each end Of this line IS restle-
legged tower which are known respectively as the pri-
mary and secondary frc-control stations. tiny OBJ
scvatory caps each tower and contains an instrument
for measuring horizontal angles called an azmuth IN
strumcnt ship floating target or any other object
that appears at sea- may be made TO serve rs the apex o
the triangle When the azimuth instruments are
turned upon it and the angles read, all information
necessary for its solution has been obtained; that IS,
the base line Of known length that forms one side OF the
triangle and the angles given by the instruments,
that include IT,
From this information all additional data required
for the service OF guns and mortars are evolved Those
called for by the morars are the more TYPICAL because
they must necessarily be more complete.
Here it may be well to explain that the modern NOR
TAR has little in common with those formerly used, which
were shaped like the utens from which the name IS
taken The mortars in use ARE SIMPLY ricd guns
rather short and intended for high-angc fire. High
angle fire is any fire directed fifteen degrees above
the horizontal The reason why data Tor the use OF
,rtars must be more complete than that required for
GUNS proper is simply this: The man who points gun
can usually see his target: he who lays mortar never
can Nlortars are mounted the bottom OF a PIT the
sides Of which cut off all view save that Of the sky
above
If should also be remembered that fort such as
those upon which depend to guard our harbors
and cities in no way resembles the grim, stone-bult
structures Of former days, made familiar by pictures OF
Fort Sumter fort like old Sumter would now serve
