llshment of a Legitimate American
merchant marine, as tile cost OF
running is apt To- be more than un-
der private enterprise. In the end
tho prospects are that the trausac-
tion will prove losing one for the
Government, and We shall be fortu-
late if we escape foreign oomplica-
tions. On the other hand President
Wilson ought to be commended in
his desire tc suspend for period
the restrictions which prevent pri-
1ate ownership OF American ships.
The excessive cost Of building and
operating American ships is the
main reason for American ship
owners operating under foreign
fiagc. Shipping is a business sub
ject to keen competition, and those
" ho enter ii cannot succeed unless
they go in upon the same basis as
those who have already succeeded in
advance. They must buy their
ships. their supplies and their Labor
under the most advantageous cir
cumstances. OsIr law; for many
years have prevented this policy,
In some RESPECTS these laws have
been modified; but the remaining
restrictions are still too severe TO
permit of profitable operation, and
no American ship owner is obliged
70 hide his property under other
Gags and depend upon foreigners for
protection TO American property.
President Wilson will dc we'll to srs-
pend these restrictions as far as
within his power. Ultimately they
should be removed.

ali the rage this spring. The Partisan
dressmakers are using pleated materials
in many different ways-for skirts,
tunics and even coates. the latter quite
short and set into shaped yokes.
When pleated skirts are needed tat
fefa Is the faporise material, but for the
pretty draped skirt, which is still so
popular, charmeuse and liberty satin
are leading favorites. Both Paauin and
Drecou are making elaborate afternoon
gowns which show skirts draped up at
the back over a pleated or nounced
underdress.
This gives very peculiar 'lisne.
Viewed from the front, such dresses
seem to have been punched up for the
purpose OF keeping them out of the
dust. But when the eyes become ac-
customed to the style It is full OF quaint
charm. Any one familiar with Dolly

the general effect OF these dresses. and
1t Is we'll to realize that some Of the
latest millinery models are quite Dolly

During that sixty minutes we talked
of many different things, but I was sue
cessful In my effort to induce La Tosca
to speak little of her new home in
Paris on the historic Quail d'Orsay. The
furniture and decorations of this house
have been discussed in many news

been limited as to the extravagant prices
given by Mile. Sorel for some of her
works of art. She Is extrayagant, mas
much as she is always willing to pay
the full price for anything that pleases
her. but her taste il perfect and her
knowledge considerable. when she pays
high price she gets the value Of her

was recently given in Paris by one of
the best known futurist artists and this

For nearly twenty-five years Mrs Mary
Hatch Willard has been New York's
professional neighbor.
She found herself in 1890 suddenly
thrown upon her own resources, with
neither capital nor training. Her one
money making accomplishment. she de-
cided after taking stock, was the knack
OF making good broths and jelIies, ac-
quired during the long illness OF a sis
ter-in-law. Such knack II common in
the small tewa where aetshbors may be
depended on to keep an invalid supplied
with delicacies while the housekeeper

But the city knows no neighbors out
side its tenements So Mrs. Willard set
about supplying the want. She had
great difficulty in getting started, for a

cooking as well ~ her selling was hard
