Admiral Fletcher was under exam
nation all day by the committee at
the first public hearing on a naval
appropriation bill held in many years.
He was piled with many questions
about conditions of the navy, judged
by lessons of the European war. AL
though confidently declaring the
American navy was overmatched only
by that of England, he added that if
this country continued to build only
two battleships year, Germany on
the basis of her present construction
program, soon would be far in the
lead.
The admiral said that he had no

States to control the seas in a naval
conflict with Japan, but when ques-
toned specifically he would not say
that the American fleet alone could
successfully defend the Philippines
and Hawaii against the Japanese ex-
petition.
Ultimate naval success, Admiral |
Fletcher continued, must rest with
ireadnoughts. Submarines, he declar-
I'd, would not seriously affect the vi
al principles Of naval warfare. He
admitted, however, that from a for
eign navy viewpoint it was possible

When Cousin Juliette told me that
she supposed ! was what would be
called a we'll dressed girl, wondered
what she meant. She being the criti-
cal relative, | knew that 1t meant a
good deal from some points of view
l remembered that the philosopher,
of being well dressed imparts a peace
and confidence which even religion
scarcely may bestow"
| don't know about peace and con-
fidence,' but | do know that trying to
be we'll dressed means thinking and
planning lot.
For instance. here is autumn com
ing-worse than that, here's a
between seasons period that is hard
to manage. | suppose II would be
easy-at least easier-if one could just
give an order and have the magic per-
formed. But an allowance, like a rub
Der band, can be stretched just so far
without breaking. The rest of the
space must be covered by ingenuity.
Mother is good counselor, but she
knows, and says SO, that dress really
Is personal matter and that my own
decisions, with my own allowance in
view, must determine everything.
When ! was a slip of girl 1t was diff
ferent. But when one gets to be-
we'll, of age and all that. 1t Is up to"

Cousin Juliette once said that there
were Slang clothes" and that she
hated that hashy sort of thing. We
all should, of course)
The plan I have followed is this:

very carefully the materials and new

shortest way TO the right thing. The
fashion journals and fashion pages
give one ideas. too, points that can
be, as you might say, translated. It's
fun to translate a 5000 gown into a $40
one. Then when I can successfully

The Day of the Sash

This is the day Of the sash. In mar
row piece silk and in broadcast rib
bon, it is everywhere and on costumes
of such varying character that one
wonders how it happens that so many
women have so suddenly acquired the
accessory, says the Philadelphia Press.
Along with the 1880 frock, the AL
gerian sash has come back into fash
ion. One would scarcely have eX-
pected this combination of a waist
swathing accessory with waist and
hip defining dress. But there is no
accounting for the vagaries of Dame
Fashion and nobody disputes her will
in wearing length of silk matching
that Of her frock, passed once about
her waist, drawn rather low over the
hips and tied loosely at the back or a
trifie toward one side. On another
1880 frock, the close-fitting, back-but-
toned. basque and sash are in one ma
terial and the double fiounced skirt in
another fabric. To make the differ
ence between the two the more APP
parent, the length of silk set apart
for the sash is held closely to the
figure in front, but from the sides is
dropped to the hips. At the back it
is knotted once and falls over the
skirt in two outstanding ends
Sashes worn by grown ups are
sometimes arranged precisely as are
those worn by small girls with their
very best party frockS. That is to
say, they are passed once about the
waist and loosely boweo at its back.
Let it not be supposed that the stout
woman abjures the sash. On the con-
trary she adopts it as enthusiastically
as does her slender sister, and she has
it in materials to match her silk
frocks, in lowered ribbons to go with
her white lingerie gowns and in the
Fatima sash which she wears Fatima
fashion.

Wife Has Unique Way to Keep
Hubby from Roof Gardening

Dr., A. F.. Christian, a Boston ply
stefan, announces that ice cream is
the best remedy for alcoholism. At
a recent luncheon Doctor Christian,
apropos of this fact, told a story.
Roof gardens he said,' "and roof
gardening, during the wife's absence
at the seashore, are responsible for a
good deal of midsummer alcoholism.
But, IL the wife is home, she can re-
strain the roof gardening tendencies
on her husbands part.

said to his wife the other evening
after dinner:
"'I'll have to return TO the office
right away. my dear. And I'm afraid
I'll be kept rather late. I've got to
post my books for the entire month
"'Will you be going anywhere else
besides the office?' she said calmly.
'Er--no,' he replied.
Then said she, I'll just ask you
to stop in at the corner grocery be-
fore it closes and get me a couple of
nice salt mackerel. You can bring
Them home with you afterward.'

wife said to herself with a smile:

Why Clothes Should Be Boiled

In the Woman's Home Companion
appears a most practical article en-
titled 1.-THE Washing of Clothes" The
author gives a complete description
of what she considers the best
methods in the whole process of
clothes washing. Following is what
she has to say about boiling clothes:
"Some housekeepers believe in boil
ing the clothes before rubbing, and
some do not believe in boiling them
at all. Others believe that clothes
are made yellow by boiling. Boiling
does not make clothes yellow. Clothes
become yellow when they are i'm
properly rinsed, when there is iron IN
the water or a deposit of iron is
formed from the boiler, or by the use
of an impure soap. On the other
hand, boiling takes an important part
in the dissolution and removal of the
soap which expert housekeepers, who
know that the soap must be removed
if the clothes are to keep their color
and wearing qualities. will recognize
as an indisputable reason why the
clothes should be boiled-and boiled
after rubbing. In these days of
sterilizing, 1t seems illogical to accept
clean, unbolled clothes"

Washing Delicate Laces

Dear Miss Doom:
viii you kindly tell me how / can

have several pieces of expensive
lace, but when | venture to wash
any of them 1 always spoil them.
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT.
Lace, chiffon, fine handkerchiefs,
white silk and colored ribbons all
need very careful washing. drying,
and getting up. 1t is the iron that
so often does the damage, but
there are several ways of finishing
off the renovation of delicate
fabrics without using an iron at
all.
To begin with, you should never
let good lace get really dirty;
wash it as soon as 1t begins to
look a bit grubby, and then do 1t
with great care, whether real lace
or imitation. For white lace make
a good lather with faxed soap and
hot water dip the lace In and out,
rubbing the dirty places gently.
Rinse very thoroughly in severn
waters, with bluing in the last
rinse. When quite clean, squeeze
the water out and spread the lace
on a board, right side out. Put it
IN position, pulllng out every point,
and pinning them firmly in place.
Stand the board in the hot sun, or
near fire, and the lace will dry
as If pressed with an iron. For
tinted lace the water must be
warm, not hot, and the drying done
in the air out of the sun or in a
warm room. Bright sun or hot fire
would make it patchy in color. 1t
Is always pity to iron lace, even
il properly done; that is, done
right side downwards on to a soft
pad of many folds of ironing
blankets or some softer material
and pressed with a small, light
iron. Finished off as described
above, without any pressure of the
iron, the lace will look as good as
new. Chiffon can be washed the
same way and also dried and fin
ished without ironing. When quite
clean. squeeze it and shake the
water thoroughly out. Then stretch
it over a table or bed, pinning it
into place. 1t will last longer
treated like this, as the heat of an
iron makes the delicate threads
brittle and apt to tear.
