Within ten minutes after an appli-

with the idea Of looking to her owners

Jury spars and sails were rfeged
and the Belmont put In at Monteyfdeo

design, too. is appropriate to older
women, as well as to the youthful
wearer. In fact, the difference in
hounced gowns for young or older
wearers is discernible in finishing
touches, rather than in design. The
foundation skirts are plain and
straight. The fiounces are adjusted
In differing poses. Sometimes, as In
the gown pictured, they sag toward
the back, but in good number this
is reversed and they rise toward the
back.
The waist line is about the normal
in most of them. While waists are
draped, these are set In sleeves as
well as drop shoulder and kimono eff
fects. Ribbons are conspicuous, and
the tango shades, warm nasturtium
yellows, are specially liked.
Almost anyone who makes any pre-
tentions to sewing. or has any faith
In her own ability, can put together a
flounced dress. The trick seems to be
in adjusting the flowers at the right
slope. with even fullness, and in not
getting them too full.
The three founced skirt, having the
founces shaped, Is displayed for heav.
Ter fabrics, and is wonderfully attrac-
tive.
There is world of light, airy fab
RIGS. fascinating in design. and world
Of filmy laces, moderate in price, so
that the flounced gown has pleasant
future before it. Limp fabrics are
chosen that fall to the figure. SO that
fiounces do not mean bulkiness. That
is tabooed. and is likely to remain SO.

that the present styles are exception
ally graceful.
Thin muslins. nainsooks. and
cambrics make up the body of the
garments. Much beading is used TO
carry the ribbons which make gay the
several pieces.
In the midst of winter, when eve
nings are long and days are most
comfortably spent In the house, un-
derwear for the coming summer
should be made up. In fact, the bulk
of the summer sewing can be done
long before the clothes are needed.
Spring goods are on display in jan
uary. and by the first of February
styles for the coming spring and sum-
mer are fairly well settled.
A night dress of cambric and Val
lace is shown in the picture.
The yoke and very short sleeves
are in one and made of Val in
sertions. There are two patterns
of lace, the rows sewed togeth-
er. The kimono sleeve portion may
be heightened by adding rows of
insertion. A narrow edging fin
isnes tne opening at the neck, and
wider edge in the same pattern fin
ishes the sleeves.
The rows OF lace may be whipped"
together, that is, sewed edge to edge
with a short overcast stitch, or sewed
on the machine.
The yoke is Joined to the skirt of
the gown by narrow band OF en-
broidered beading. Through this a
ribbon is run, which ties at the front
in a small bow. This ribbon serves
to adjust the gown to the figure.
For such pretty night robes. sepa-
rate bows and rosettes of ribbon are
provided. They are to be pinned on
with very small safety pins. Little
rosettes for the top of the sleeves,
matching the other ribbons, but
without hanging ends. may be added
by way of elaboration.

New York.-The bluenose bark Bel

mystery that probably will never be

the story thus:
Below the latitude OF Rio de Janeiro
he had come on deck to take the mid
die watch on a clear but moonless
night. when the lookout made out the
-red and green lights of an approach
ing ship. AS the Belmont had the
right of way. Mr. Walker supposed the
other craft, which had the wind fair,
would change her course. So the Bel
mont held to her course.
But the stranger also persistently
held to her course. The bluenose was
travelling 6h or knots. the un-
known ship IL knots. Before Walker
could shout to the man at the wheel
to jam her down the north-bound ship
struck the Belmont. scraping along
her side, with yards interlocking and
swapping in two at the goosenecks.

the deck as sharp orders and cries
of alarm came from both vessels.
Capatin Ladd of the Belmont and
the s.arboard watch rushed out. The
mate and port watch had taken to
cover as the top hamper came down.
In the green light of the Belmont
the other craft was made out to be a
full-rigged ship. but her name could
not be read.
The clew of the flying main upper
topsail struck and felled the mate.
Jack, the captains wire-haired terrier,
tumbled from his kennel beneath the
break of the poop and seized the clew
of the sail in his teeth. seeking to res
cue Mr.. Walker, who got up un-
harmed
