description may be found in all of the
smart shops, and the model is one that
adapts itself congenially to linen
chambray, Kindergarten cloth and
many other materials of tub variety.
In fact there are very few little

cheap yet attractive materials.
The Popular Shades.
The maid of sixteen or over wears a
tailleur very like that of her mother,
except that it may be more daring in
color and much more coquettish and
striking in cut Terra Gotta, tango red
and coral pink are very popular shades
for young girls tailored suits just
now. Smart but unobstrusive boots |
with buttoned tops of cloth accom- |
pany such street tailleurs and gloves |
of silk embroidered on the wrist may |
be wrinkled under loose sleeves or
one button mannish kid gloves accom-
pany long sleeves.
The girl with frocks to her ankle
wears her hair in a fiat knot at the
back of the neck and in fluffy waves
over ears and forehead, the soft wave
sometimes extending we'll over the
cheek Younger girls have the hair
lied up with a ribbon.

dresses, wraps and hats of youthful
design are seen in profusion in the
smart shops. In the general cry
against hard times it is the makers
of juvenile modes who wear cheerful
countenances and rejoice that they

Greece is making desperate efforts
to put herself In q posture OF defense,
but her means, even taking into &C.

to Turkeys resources.

was the purchase from the United

Greece is most anxious to keep the

here that Turkey is resolved to en-
force her claims to the islands Of the

naughts arrive. This moment is not
far OF.
The Hellenic government has pushed

It Is computed that the Ottoman en-

among its subjects and fears are en-
tertained that these will all come un-
der the prescription. the opportune
moment being chosen to suit the con-
venience OF the ministers Of war and
marine.
The only ray OF hope is the action
OF Talaat Bey. the Turkish minister
OF the interior, who has promised to
check the explosions and has even
made a journey to the scene Of the
outrages with the object Of protecting
the Orthodox Greeks In person. But
Talaat Is a single figure and his over
throw in face of Young Turk opinion
may come soon.
Meanwhile the representatives OF
the powers in Constantinople have not
been idle. Their notes to the sublime
porte have brought a half-hearted
promise from Mehmet VS. represen-
tatives that the offenses will cease.
Roumania and Servia are also both
employing strenuous efforts to induce
the Ottoman statesmen to meet the
Greeks half way. II is to be noted that

MAKE YOUR OWN MOPS
NO NEED TO PURCHASE THIS
HOUSEHOLD EQUIPMENT.
Old Stockings May Be Utilized to
Good AdvantAue-WslI to Romem-
bsr That Washing Each Week
10 Essential.

Oiled noors and busting mops arc
now considered q necessary part OF
every household equipment. OF course,
you want one II you haven't one, and
II you do not want to pay the price,
why not make your own mopsi Old
stockings make the best mops. as they
do not make lint.
Begin by taking a strip OF strong
cloth and cut II about two and one-half
to three inches wide and about ten
inches long. Cut the old stockings IN
strips and place the strips close
beside each other in q row. Place
the cloth across the middle OF
the stocking strips and stitch along
each edge Of the cloth on the machine.
When this Is folded together there Will
be q double row of stocking strips. or
course. the strips must be cut OF equal
length. You can now insert the mop
for day or 30 In q good furniture
polish, until It has taken up all the oil
possible; squeeze dry and insert in
your mop handle and you have quite
as good an oiled mop as many on the
market. II goes without saying that
you must frequently remove the mop
and renew the oil.
Furniture mope may be purchased
for a small price In the shops, but az
they are soon worn out they are quite
q little expense in the homes where
pennies count, and in one afternoon
you can make q dozen dish mops OF
different sizes for no cost at all.
A small, round stick that Is smooth
to the hand is best to use. and pieces
Of old materials, linen, cotton or WOOL
en- as you prefer. Whittle the stick so
II tapers toward the end and cut three
little circles OF cotton and tie them
over this end to form sort Of wad.
Then cut a strip OF linen "a inches
long and IL inches wide. Double this
with the long edges slightly overlap
ping In the center and notch 1t deeply
along both folded edges. Wind this
around the stick. Tie firmly and then
pull the top strips over the lower ones.
Bind some strong string above the
head Of the mop and brush with liquid
glue. Make a hole through the stick
and tie on q bit of string to hang 1t up
by and your mop is finished.
Long-handled mops for busting cell
ings can be made from discarded
bEoomsticks with strips Of soft cotton
or waste for the heads, and worn
chamois leather makes capital heads
for window-cleaning mops.
All the brushes should be thorough
ly washed each week. unless they are
Of the oiled sort, and even then they
must have an occasional washing and
reoiling.

Messrs. Vickers OF Barrow, England
who are now completing the Resha'
dieh to the order of the Ottoman gov
eminent, have just received an order
for a second battleship to be laid down
at once. The new craft is to be larger
than the Reshadieh. The latter Is
525 feet long, has displacement OF
$4,000 tons and carries ten 1875 guns
with a smaller battery.
Another vessel designed for the
Turkish navy Is being completed on
the Tyne. II is the Sultan Osman |,

So anxious is the Turkish marine
minister to obtain his dreadnaughts
