blown into the eye to show from what
direction we may expect the storm. They
argue first for short skirts. That was
fashion dearly beloved by our grand
mothers Men may say that anything
shorter and narrower than We wear now
would expose women to more Condemna-
ton than they could stand.
But here is the trouble: They are
going to be shorter but very full. Today
we have pantalettes to draw attertion to
the fact that the skirt is short. Tomor-
row We will omit the underrufflc.
1t is for this reason that the showing
by Cheruit and Premet of muslin leglets
beneath full skirts Of linen or muslin
attracted so much attention. These un-
dergarnents are not pantalettes as we
understand the term have been made
familiar with through pictures of our i'm
mediate ancestors; there are two fitted
leglets that follow the line of the leg
from the hem of the shirt to the ankles.
were necessary to beauty, for the full
skirts were so short that the wearer
would have looked like child if some
thing had not been added.
THE models OF Cheruit were longer and
more graceful. The Americans were able
to order them as they were, but every
order given to the house OF Premet had
a condition of alteration attached. All
Premet's clothes were Impossible to the
American women as they were; but this
fact did not bother the American buyer.
who took the novelty suggested, chose
the fabric, admired the wonderful en-
broidery and had the skirt heightened.
And the interesting part of the whole
pantalette question is that the idea was
not suggested by daguerreoty pes. but by

Persian influence which Poret exploited
SO successfully last summer and at which
the great Russian decorator has been
working for years through the stage.
There are several Persian tableauX in
the theaters this week. and it is vastly
interesting to so from Premet and Che
ruit, where the idea is worked out in
a modern way and fitted to the mate
rails and workmanship Of the moment,
and then drift down to one of the thea
tiers where rajah sits noodily on cush-
ions. glanclng over the very, very French
slave girls brought to him. and wearing
the rajah, not the sirls-the exact skirt
one saw on the Place vendome.
1t is far cry In Paris from this quar-
ter to the Place de Ia Republique. but the
same skirt exists in both places, even il
one is on the stage and the other on a
naughty mannequin, who tells you the
frock is very cheap, madame, at $500.

You may remember that the hustle ex-
plotted by the house of Premet last sum-
mer received more attention than its
popularity deserved. Today we see little
of it as an actual accessory, but its in
fuence is felt on many garments. The
skirt which lifts up in the back is fash
ionable. also the one that has a bow
placed below the waist line. But the bow
is not as pronounced as 1t was, and one
rarely sees 1t at the other houses
The hustle in front is also out of style

Parsons in the second lecture of his series
on decorative arts at the National
Museum Auditorium, last night under
the auspices of the Washington Society
Of the Fine Arts. The heart Of Mr.. Par

OF Hellenic art into a Gothic environment.
All art is based upon :hree periods: the
Greek the Gothic and the renaissance
or 'Hufnanistic" Greek art was sim
pie, sincere, consistent and the beauty OF
pure form was the highest aspiration.
Gothic art was religious. The renaissance
was Greek art poured through the Gothic

milk and pour 1t through black sieve
and then through a red; that would be
a renaissance" said Mr.. Parsons. After
things had been poured through the last

ADMIRAL URGES
As BATTLESHIPS
Charles ]. Badger Tells House
Committee Navy Should
Be Better Prepared.
WANTS 100 SUBMARINES
United States Should Build -Four
Dreadnoushts a Year Until 1919.
Would Then Rank Second.
WANTS 100 SUBMARINES

Striking testimony relative to the up
building of the navy was given before
the House Committee on Naval Affairs
yesterday by Admiral Charles ]. Bad
ger, member of the general naval board.
Admiral Badger. who was until re-
Gently, in command Of the Atlantic Fleet
and who has high standing in the serv-
ice, told the committee that the United
States in order to be in the best possible
shape for war should equip itself with
forty-eight battleships of the first line,
100 submarines, ample air craft of the
various types, and an adequate number
of auxiliaries. He gave it as his opinion
as member Of the general board that
the United States should build four
battleships year until 1913 and a corre-
spending number of submarines and other
craft. If such a program were adopted,
admiral Badger said, the United States
would, In hve years, rank second only to
Great Britain as a naval power, succeed
ing Germany in that position.
Submarines Efficient.
Admiral Badger testified to the efficiency
of the submarine as an offensive .adjunt
Of the feet, but made 1t clear he did not
wish to be understood as saying that ad-
ditional submarines should be obtained at
the sacrifice of battleships. It was
brought out during Admiral Badgers
testimony that the United States now
has forty battleships. OF this number
fifteen are Dreadnoughts, or vessels THAI
could be utilized in the fighting line in
time of war, and twenty-five pre-Dread-
noughts. of the pre-Dreadnoughts Ad-
miral Badger said that the Indiana, Ore
gon and Massachusetts are obsolete by
reason of the fact that each is more than
twenty years old and should not be given
serious consideration in calculating the
fighting efficiency Of the navy
Admiral Badger made il clear that in
advocating the equipment of the navy
with forty-eight battleships he had in
mind dreadnoughts only. The adoption
Of his program would require the addi-
ton OF thirty-three dreadnoughts, in
cluding those now building and ships to
be authorized. With the pre-dread-
noughts now in commission this would
give the United States a feet of seventy
three bsttleships Of all classes.
Admiral Badger said submarines should

Admiral Badger said he would not sta
ton these submarines in any particular
section; he would keep them in fotiIIas
under direction of the commander-in-
chief Of the fleet. He said there could |
be no doubt of the efficient offensive |
qualities Of submarines.

that the navy had of late neglected tar |
