drove under the water and when it had
passed rose again to the surface. The
banks were bordered with willows, mis-
tletoe, sweet gum, discovered cypress
trees, live oaks, naples all fresh and
green, elderberries in bloom, palms, pal
mettoes, some so old no husks on the
trunks, just green tops, the branches of
the trees reflected in the eddying waves
seemed wavingand curling in the depths.
There were green meadows where a
large flock of sheep was feeding. At
Blue Springs, Orange City, great many
oranges were being shipped to New York.
At De Land Junction is nice large
building covered with galvanized iron.
where we stopped some time as there
were lots of oranges and other freight to
be put on board. At Aston, nice place,
several passengers were waiting to go
north. At about nine we reached
Georgetown, and good moon and
smooth sailing made a pleasant trip
home to Orange Point.
Feb. 10Th, with party of 25,we spent
the day at Salt Springs. some 10 miles
across the lake. Think of it, home

Friday evening with Mr.. and Mrs.
Blanchard, which all gladly accepted.
Lights were hurg from the house to the
boat landing. Their pleasant. hospitable
home was beautifully decorated with
palms and blooming jasmine and deli
cious lunch was served. Here they know
just how to entertain and make all feel at

was enjoyed by all. AS the doctors fam

us a pleasant voyage, expressing an

the sleeves and girdle Green is similar
ly employed for contrast, but is not so
good with putty as with black. One
sees quite bit of peacock blue as a
trimming contrast, and narrow fancy
ribbons in this shade with red and other
vivid tints in their pattern are used,
braid fashion, on hats and waists, with
attractive results. Navy blue and very
dark purple is peculiarly French COM
bination and dashes of coral pink bring
out the lines in otherwise tame looking
white suits and blouses.
THE NEW SILHOUETTE.
Trlg and natty is the new fashionable
silhouette, with not trace left of the
''slouch" of year ago. However loose
the dress may hang below, it is fitted at
the bust, and the figure held erect in true
military fashion, with a well-modelled
corset having enough bones to secure
trim outlines.
There is nothing stiff or awkward in
the fashionable poise. quite the contrary,
and a pretty girl looks her best in the
new spring models.
NET DRESSES.
Net dresses of the old-time founced
sort. the edges of the founce bound with
silk or satin, or trimmed with bead edg-
ings, silk cuttings, ETC., are very much
liked, and are an excellent investment
for the woman who wants to get the
utmost wear from her fussy frock. For
a mourning dress toilet few selections
are as satisfactory. The flounces are
rather smartest, cut straight and gath
cred, in overlapping style. The number

taste of the wearer.
ACCORDION plated dresses of three OF
more tiers are very good style, the satin
bindings of the founces producing the
correct flare. ..--

New YORK, February %, 1915. Hat
of silk, satin and panne velvet are yer!
smartly endorsed for the present weal
here, and those that have touch o.
straw in their make up will be usefu
for long time to come. Small turbar
shapes are rather in the lead, but sailors
and little round crowned Derby shape
run them close second.
Contrasting color notes are the salient
feature in most of the new hats, and
this is obtained in great variety of
ways. The spotting of the tremendously
popular sailor tie, that circles SO many

teristic floating ends that Jackies wear
In breezy fashion which the girls close

ture, grapes and diminutive fruits are
also popular, and a melange of color is
the usual thing, rather than any single
tone.
AN ADVANCE MODEL.
An advance model, pretty and practi-
cal, was small Tipperary turban, the
crown of black satin, the brim of paided
straw in green. and blue mixture. Right
at the front standing out above the crown
was disk shape ornament of knife
pleated silk and net. Except for the
sailor tie this was the sole and sufficient
ornament. A Derby of satiny split straw

other trimming than loose strap of its

perched askew at any desired point on
the crowns of the various small shapes

 Ivy Keller came home June l9 from Miss Shont's select school for young ladies. By June 21 she was bored limp. You could hardly see the plafts of her white tailored shirt waist for fraternity pins and secret society emblems, and her bedroom was ablaze with college banners and pennants such an extent that the maid gave notice every Thursday-whieh was up- stairs cleaning day
 For two weeks after her return Ivy spent most of her time writing letters and waiting for them, and reading the classics on the front porch, dressed in a middy blouse and blue skirt, with her hair done in a curly Greek effect like the girls on the covers of the Ladies' Magazine. She posed against the canvas bosom of the porch chair with one foot under her, the oth-

This is not a baseball story. The grand stand does not rise as one man and shout itself hoarse with joy. There isn't a three -bagger in the entire three thousand words, and nobody is carried home on the shoulders of the crowd. For that sort of thing you need not squander fifteen cents on your fa- vorite magazine. The modest sum of one cent will make you. the possessor of Pink 'Un. There you will find the seasons games handled in masterly fashion by a six-best-seller artist, an expert mathematician, and an original slang humorist. No mere short story dub may hope to compete with these.
 In the old days. before the gentry of the ring had learned the wisdom of investing their winnings in solids in- stead of liquids. this used to be a favorite conundrum: When is a prize fighter not a prize fighter?

 Any man who can look handsome in a dirty baseball suit is an Adonis. There is something about the baggy pants, and the Micawber-shaped collar, and the skull-fitting cap and the foot or so of tan, or blue or pink under shirt sleeve sticking out at the arms, that just naturally kills a mans best points Then, too, baseball suit re- quires so much in the matter of leg. Therefore, when I say that Rudie Schlaehweiler was a dream even in his baseball uniform, with a dirty brown streak right up the side of his pants where he had slid for base, you may know that the girls camped on the grounds during the season.

A Second Lusitania !?

Too many essential facts remain in
doubt to permit the expression of
opinion on the sinking Of the Ancona.
The all important fact must be
whether the ship was warned. II it
was not, then the Lusitania massacre
has been repeated. Only second in inn
portance is tn nationality of the sub
marine. The mere fact that an Aus
trian flag was displayed will not serve
to silence the suspicion that the work
was that of the German submarines
known to have passed Gibraltar re-
Gently and traceable by their opera
tons i'm the western Mediterranean.
Conceivably. then. we have to deal
with second Lusitania; possibly we
have to deal with Austria, probably
with Germany. Yet it is equally lust
to reckon that the Ancona was warned
and attempted to escape. In this stu
alton there is nothing to do but await
the facts.
One thing, however. must spring to
the mind of every American. The cir
cumstances that are known recall
wildly and painfully the similar cir
cumstances when American women
and children we're slaughtered in the
channel-and from that hour to this
Germany has neither disavowed the
act nor agreed to pay indemnity.
we all know why now. II is per
fectly plain that the President has
never been ready to press the Lusi-
tania case because he has found that
pressing II might lead to a German
refusal to disavow and thus shatter
the pretty but fragile fabric of his
great diplomatic triumph in the mat
ter of the Arabic.

umph was is no longer doubtful When

But there remained the Insitania. In,
most fragrant and wanton massacre Of
modern times. the greatest outrage OF
one friendly nation upon another in tn,
history Of civilization. On July 81, in a
formal note, Mr.. Wilson had asked dis.
avowal and promise of indemnity. That
not was not answered and never has
been. And what is most astonishing is
that no second demand has ever been
made for an answer.
Patiently Mr.. Wilson has believed that
the American people would permanently
