The Silhouette and rs Changes. The New

Correspondence Of The Journal
New York, May q. 1914. Everyone
conversant with the evolution Of modes,
realizes the Importance Of the silhouette.
1t is the general outline that makes the
first impression. snd stamps the wearer
as being smartly turned out or the re-
verse. Details come later. Materials,
color, trimmings and small accessories
all have their value in the effect pro-
duced, but its the silhouette, the 'Toute"
as the French phrase it. that counts first.
This rust be in line with prevailing
modes, if the dress is to possess the
| combination of style with distinction and
certain individuality which is the ideal
of successful gowning.
Just now, it's the peg-top or spindle
silhouette which rules, small at head and
foot, loose and elastic midway, closely
following the contours of the natural
figure, but always with certain modifica-
tions possible with skillfully built cor
set.
Signs are not wanting to show that
transition to different outline is already
underway, and before very long we may
see the flare that now marks the bottom
of the tunic and of all the latest coats
and capes, drop to the foot of the skirt.
the waist narrowed again in something
approaching the old tight fitting basque.
And at once the fashionable outline will
be completely changed, though the change
will come by degrees, not all at once, as
it seems to the uniformed.
THE VERY LONG TUNIC.
Already we have in very late models a
tunic or overskirt that comes within SIX
inches of the foot, and has considerable
fullness at the waist and flare at the
hem, but the lower skirt is extremely
narrow still, whether finished plain or
deliberately trimmed, giving in many in
stances very decided suggestion of
trouser or of the pantalette of 1880.
SLEEVES AND GLOVES.
Very many of the smartest models show
quarter length or shorter sleeve,
for both waists and coats, while for
evening wear, sleeves have almost dis
appeared. Long gloves are in conse-
quence in great demand, and from now
on fine silk weaves are first choice.
A comparatively new silk glove stamp
ed with the name ''Gloversilk, is making
great strides in the favor of women who
realize that we'll cut, fine finished
glove, is worth far more than its cost in
the effect it produces. Though this is
sold here in special French glove shop
just off Fifth avenue, it is of American
make, and can be had at up-to-date glove
counters almost everywhere.
DANCING FRoCKs.
Little fussy gowns are now generally
known as dancing frocks. There is a
decided tendency to make the narrow
lower skirt of wolfe, organdie, lace or
similar material, with the overskirt of
silk. At a recent smart wedding this
yelling of the foot and ankle with flmy
was notable feature, both
of the bridesmaids and bridal gown. The
latter was of satin with a long tunic
draped over lace petticoat, and the
underskirt worn was fully six inches
shorter than the lace, so that the pretty

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 25, 1914.
The subcommittee of the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce, which has given
serious consideration to the River and
Harbor appropriation bill since the Sem
ate received it on March 18th last, had
hoped to report the bill to the full COM
.nittee on Wednesday, but there were SO
,many Senators desiring to be heard on
projects under way and to be inaugural
ed, that it is impossible to predict when
the committee on commerce Will have
the results of the work of the sub-com-
nittee. 1t is stated that number OF
SURVEYS will be ordered, over and above
those carried in the House bill, while
several projects now under way will be
placed in the continuing contract"
class. to the end that their completion
may be brought about as early as posi-
bile.
If history repeats itself. and there is
no reason to doubt that it will, the river
and harbor bill, as it will be reported to
the Senate, will exceed the House bill by
four or five millions, and it may go high
er. as a number of additional projects
have been agreed upon, due to informa-
ton that was not at hand when the bill
was under consideration by the Rivers
and Harbors Committee of the House.
With the beginning of work on the
Alaska railway, for which the general
government has appropriated $50, 900, 900,
all sorts of "wild cat" mining schemes

according to a statement made by Ell
wood Bruner of Nome, Alaska, Sena-
Sor of the territorial legislature. Mr..
Bruner, who has been in Washington for
che past four months looking after sew
,eral bills before Congress in which the
legislature of Alaska is interested, said,
before leaving for his far northwestern
home: "The people of the States must

1t has been the constant aim of the leg
sslature of Alaska to keep the credit of
the territory first class. When the ques-
ton of a government-owned railroad
came before the legislature it was most
generally conceded that the moment the
bill making appropriations for the road
had passed Congress, it would be the sig
nal for the advent of hundreds of wal

Naval gossips say that Admiral Geo.
Dewey looks with longing eyes upon the
waters of the coast of Mexico where the
great sea fighters Of America have as
Sc mbled to uphold the dignity Of Uncle
Sam in conjunction with the military
forces, and that the hero of Manila Bay,
seeming gun powder and the boom Of
great warship guns, fairly itches to be
upon the scene and directing affairs from
the bridge of flagship, just as he did on
the historic occasion when he trimmed
che Spanish fleet and forts in the Philip
pines. But, while he would like to be in
command off Vera Cruz and Tampico,
the grizzled old warrior will not take
away from younger officers the oppor-
tunity to gain their spurs if any oppor-
tunity presents itself at any time in
Mexico, much as he hates to be absent at
lighting time. Discussion of this few
days ago by number of army and navy
officers at the Army and Navy Club re-
called to one of the group, a naval Of
aicer of high rank, significant remark
Admiral Dewey made about the time the
Scbley-Sampson controversy was run
ming high. A newspaper correspondent
I had met Admiral Schley one afternoon.
and, the battle of Santiago being re-
ferred to, Schley had said to him with a
merry twinkle in his eye: "What should
. know about that fight? From what /
read in the newspapers now, l wasn't
ssxen there. The newspaperman had
occasion to see Admiral Dewey that
evening, and in the course of converse.
ton casually mentioned Schley s remark.
Well. WE'LL" unused Dewey. "How
sad! Why, don't you know that if Schley
wasn't there, then about 1,50O Spaniards,
poor devils! must have committed suicide
that day."

DAILY COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS. Feb. Spot de-
mand is holding up better than expected,
both in Liverpool and our side. Gables
continue to mention the scarcity of Of
ferings which would not be the case If
there were large unsold reserves.
The present large movement need not
brighten any one, as ii consists of sold
cotton moving to destination. Liverpool
again came in better than due, and
shows large sales. 1900 bales, at
point lower than quotations.
Dry goods report also continue very
good. Easier money conditions all over
facilitate the buying Of the raw mate
rial and political peace gives confidence
for trade expansion.
Early advices from Houston, Texas,
report up to 5000 bales of cotton de-
stroyed by fire at Clinton.
Our market opened higher and was
steady with renewed hope of support
on the strength of Liverpool and gem
eral good news. but aggressive pressure
soon appeared in New York and caused
prices to sag In the absence of spe-
any kind, the continued bear moves in
the Northern market must be entirely
on local technical and professional con-
ditions there.
The large straddle interest in May is
probably the objective point of the pro-
fessional contest. 1t looks as If every
effort is being made to get longs-com-
mitted to straddle shorts-to liquidate
in order to realize to best advantage
and at the widest difference from Liv-
erpool.
Fundamentally the situation continues
bullsh, and there is undaunted faith in
an ultimate bullish outcome. OF course,
without support in New York, which
after all has the eye of the world on 1t
in regard to price matters. bullish devel-
opments find no immediate expression
in the markets. while superficialy bear
