a ruffie of the ribbon, giving the effect
OF n short basque finish. There is an
apron of lace at the front, with bands
extending upward to the bodice, over
the shoulders and around the low
neck The sleeves are short puffs fin
ished with double ruffles and lace.
Very small flowers of narrow ribbon
make slender wreath which outlines
the apron and bodice and follows the
line of the flounce at the back
Chiffon taffeta and lace are used,
with little plain chiffon for the sec
ond dress. The picture shows SO plain
ly the composition that 1t hardly needs
description
The skirt of chiffon taffeta is mar
row and extends to the calf of the leg.
1t is finished with wide fiounce of
lace and is caught up in front with
two ribbon roses. There is a tunic,
girdle and tiny eton jacket of the
silk. with underbodice and sleeves of
chiffon in the same color as the silk
The tunic,is finished with a pattern
OF light embroidery about the bottom,
and the bodice is embellished with a
big butterfly bow of the silk mounted
above the waist line at the front.
Each Of the youthful wearers is pro
vided with strand of pearl beads for
her neck and black satin slippers for
her feet. These are simple and taste
full dresses. not at all expensive and
entirely appropriate to young girls.
Nothing more elaborate is to be con-
sidered for them.

WANTS SHIP IN THE PoToMAc
Navy League Seconds a Suggestion
That the consteiistion Be Brought
to Washington.

Endorsement Of the navy department
recommendation that tho .fhmous old
ship Constellation be moored in the
Potomac river, on Potomac park. was
given in statement issued the other
day by the Navy League OF the United
States. from the office of its 'secre-
tary. The Constellation. which was
one OF the first ships of the American
navy. and whose name will probably
be linked forever with the British
Guerriere. because OF the hand-to-hand
death grapple OF the two ships. now
lies off Newport, but there is strong
sentiment favorable to bringing her
here.
The Navy league claims no original
ity in the matter. and the statement
quotes Rear Admiral Victor Blue. CHIEF
OF the bureau OF navigation. who in
his last annual report. submitted to
the secretary of the navy. state
ment as follows:
1T is recommended that the frigate
Constellation. now at the navy train
ing station. Newport. r. l.. or the
Constitution. now at the navy yard
Boston. Mass, and which was re
paired in accordance with the act OF
congress approved June 20. 1906, pro-
viding 100000 to restore her as far
as practicable to her original condi-
tion, be brought to Washington and
anchored in the Potomac river just on
Potomac park. Should the Constella-
tion or the Constitution be brought
to the national capital and made ac-
cessible to the tourists who are con-
stantly arriving from all points in the
country, 1t is believed it would create
a greater national interest in the new
navy and be means OF instilling a
greater patriotism in the mind of the
younger generation

uERE are two beautiful new designs
IL in petticoats to which little hand
embroidery gives q touch OF real ele-
gance. The designs are simple and
the work not of the kind which proves
trying to the eyes. Now that Lent is
here and our time is not too fully
occupied It is a real pleasure to sit
down to a little old-fashioned sewing.
One of these petticoats is of white
nainsook with a ruffie of batiste ma
chine stitched to the bottom. The ruff
fle is scalloped and buttonEole-stitched
along the lower edge. 1t may be pur-
chased with the edge ready finished.
The buttonhole stitching is extended
to form small panels.
In each of the panels spray Of
flowers. very simple and easily done.
is embroidered. The sprays are not
all alike; two. or even three, pat
terms are used, or only one, accord
ing to the choice Of the individual.
The top OF the ruffie is cut into
short slashes. the edges carefully fin
ished with the buttonhole stitch, and a
satin ribbon threaded through these
siashes by way OF dainty finish
Blue, pink. lavender or a soft gold
color are shown in satin ribbons to
be used for this purpose.

GOING TO THE WHITE HOUSE
And Tourists Knew Capital Was Un-
healthy for They Had Seen
Three Funerals.

"Will these cars take US to the
White House?"
The woman who asked was one of
a couple OF tourists in herringbone
coats--long and gray-with furs the
color of bleached blonde, and a guide
book between the two.
The native who had been held up
at Vermont avenue and Fourteenth
street explained about the cars.
Washington must be a real un-
healthy city. We've seen three fu-
nerals already and we've only been
here two days. That's more than we
have in six months up to home"
Perhaps you have not SO large a
population as"
IT'S unhealthy. that's what It is"
The other tourist said 1t with an en-
phasis that suggested she had already
written it, I've had cold ever since
have been here. You don't have good
stoves like up to home. That's a queer
house with those fancy platters hang
ing on the walls Is 1t museum"
And do they charge to go in?"
Native explained that 1t was a pri-
vate residence and that the bas-reliefs
were reproductions OF Thorwaldsen's
-Four Seasons"
I'VE call 'em calendars up to home
It's a good-sized house. Does he own
1t. or rent? And what does he do for
a living?"

Good Old Timesr Again.

Hospital patients OF today are bet
ter off than their ancestors of "the
good old tines" Mr.. wheatley. in
his book on London" quotes from
Scottish act of parliament OF 1856 to
the effect that III ony man brings to
the market corrupt swine or salmond
to be saudi. they sail be taken by the
baillie, and incontinent. without ony
question. sail be sent to the leper
follfe;" and II there be no lepers then
only sail they be destroyed utterlie."
The same pleasant custom Obtained In
Oxford in the fifteenth century. where
all putrid meat and fish was by statute
sent to st. Johns hospital.

New Greek Minister.

Agamemnon is to be here not only
In the spirit, but in the flesh. His
next name is Schliemann and he is to
represent Greece. Minister Schlie-
mann is the son OF the great German
archeologis. and traveller, DIR. Helm
rich Schliemann. Doctor Schliemann
was an American citizen. 1t is true
he was born in Germany. the son of
poor Lutheran pastor. During his
travels In 1850 he spent some time in
California. when it was made state
of the American Union. He thus be-
came. and 1t pleases him to remain
through life. an American citizen-a
fact he was very proud Of The new
minister is one OF the younger Greeks
chosen by Premier yenizelos for the
regeneration of Greek politics.

~ strued these days to mean, in
reality, sweet eighteen. to twenty-four;
for sweet sixteen of these days is a
little too young to prove interesting
outside her own circle of relatives or
schoolmates. The two pretty frocks
for young girl. pictured here. are
suitable designs for any OF the festive
occasions.
1t will be seen that they allow
plenty OF freedom for the frolicsome
dances to which youth is just now so
devoted The materials are supple, and
the skirts sufficiently full.
For these fascinating dresses soft
sheer fabrics are TO be chosen. There
are plenty of them. voiles (plain or
fiowered). chiffon. silk or cotton
crepes. wool or cotton challies. nets,
chiffon taffetas and other light silks,
crepe de chine. fiowered NULL besides
numbers of novelties that have been
brought out. Probably the two most
satisfactory materials are chiffon taf-
feta and vQile.

skirt is worthy OF some study 1t is

TO SPEND $3.50 FOR PENNY
In Order to Surmount Red Tape an
Order VIII Be Entered
In Court.

Maj. Stanley w. Martin. clerk of the
trict OF Virginia. is debtor to Uncle
Sam to the extent of one cent, and to
surmount the red tape of government
al affairs In order to get the penny into
the Golfers of the treasury department
at Washington the United States gov
ernment will be required to expend
just $3.50. The penny belongs to Uncle
Sam and Major Martin does not want
1t. SO an order will be entered in the
court here soon by Judge Henry Clay
Mcdowell under which the clerk will
be given authority to square the ac-
count
About year ago the war depart
ment went down to Front Royal and
condemned lot OF land for the pur-
pose of establishing a remount station.
The condemnation proceedings we're
handled through the court here and
when the value OF the property taken
by the government was fixed by com.
missioners the funds necessary to pay
for the property were deposited by the
government with the court here.
In one of the cases there were a lot
OF heirs who were paid Individually
under order of the court for their
share In the property. In making up
the division checks this account
checked over this penny, and it has
since been held to the order of the
court.

terial- The petticoat is plain and mar
row. about yard and three-quarters
wide. 1t is slit up at one side along
seam. The bottom is finished with
a shallow scallop button hole stitched
with coarse floss.
Two sprays of embroidery, placed at
the sides OF the slash In the skirt,
finish its decoration. The embroidery
Is done in white. Stitches are long
and easily done.
Skirts of this kind are made up

color and white. They are easily
laundered- Worn with fancy corset
cover they provide foundation for
white dresses in the new crepe-luke
fabrics which are not sheer but still
allow a color to glow through them.
But these durable and attractive pet
ticoats are to be worn with utility
dresses and are not made for those
Of airy fabrics, which will be used
for other wear.
There is a certain satisfaction in
hand-wrought undergarments, and
certain pride in ones own work which
more than pays for the time spent
upon such simple and practical gar.
