land near the interned ships. 1t is part of a
tract acquired several years ago by the navy de-
partment for the enlargement of the navy yard.
and on which new mammoth drydock is to be
built The request was granted
A couple of acres or more were turned over to
the Germans. Among the crew are farmers who
understand intensified farming The soil of the
tract is of the richest variety. Using spades in
stead of plows and industriously welding hoes,
these men quickly worked transformation Cab
bage spinach, tomatoes, potatoes, beets and
turnips were planted. In another thirty days it
is declared that the crop of vegetables will be
sufficient to provide for all of the wants of the
Germans for the rest of the summer and far into
next fall
When the Kronprinz Wilhelm interned there
was epidemic of beri beri to check. More
than seventy had the disease Today the
epidemic is practically over.
Early after the nternment, according to re-
ports received from the navy yard and upon the
request of the commandant of the yard. the sail
ors of both cruisers were lined up by their Off
GERS and given instructions that in converse
ton off the ship strict neutrality must be OBJ
served. They were urged not to talk of German
aspirations, of German successes and above all
warned to avoid Dragging. They were warned
that such conduct would probably lead to diff
culties with those who favor the allies, and would
mean punishment and withdrawal Of shore lib
erty. These instructions have been rigidly ad

Traveller Surely Well Fitted With
Abundance of Nourishment
and "Music"

The longest and noisiest dinner that
Mr.. James Sibree, Jr., the author of IA
Naturalist in Madagascar" ever at
tended was given by the governor Of
a town called Ankarana. About score
of O. cers were at the table and seven
ladies. After long grace by the pas
tor, dinner was brought in, and consist
ed of the following courses:
First, curry; second, goose; third,
pigeons and waterfowl; fourth, chick
en- outlets and poached eggs; fifth. beef
sausages; sixth. boiled tongue;
seventh, sardines; eighth pigs trot-
ters; nil III, fried bananas; tenth, pam
cakes; eleventh. manioc; twelfth,
dried bananas.
And lastly, says Mr.. Sibree, when I
thought everything must have been
served. came launches of roast beef.
Claret went about very freely, and at
length some much stronger liquor;
and the healths of the queen, Our
friends, the two foreigners" then
those of the prime minister. chief sec
rotary and chief judge, were all drunk
TWICE. over, lHe governor coming
last; and each was followed by mu-
steal and drum hOnors.
There was a big drum just outside
on the veranda as well as two small
ones, besides clarinets and tiddles,
and these were in full play almost all
the time. Then the room was filed
by a crowd of servants and aides de
camp, and the shouting of everyone,
from the governor down, was deafen-
ing. The old gentleman directed every
thing and everyone. was glad when

THINGS WOMEN ARE WEARING
To Be With the Elect, One Must Keep
These Facts Constantly in
the Mind.

Sleeveless silk sweater coats are a
welcome novelty, for they solve the
problem of giving little warmth with
out giving too much.
Awning stripes in silks are used
for shirtwaists for morning and sports
wear
A large and long black bow at
tached to the back of high plating
is one of the latest fads.
Dainty, airy hats of haircloth come
in pink, white, blue, tan and gold.
The shapes are fat and picturesque.
Petticoats are made of pretty flow
cred material or of plain white, with
ruft1es of lowered material.
Costly embroideries seem to be en-
tirely out of the question or the sum-
mer gowns.
Tiny frills of lace and net alter
nately distinguish some of the sum-
mer models.
Most of the pongee coats have de-
tachable collars and cuffs of contrast
ing silk
With the passing of spats for the
summer all sorts Of fancies come to
take their place-shoes with white
tops, shoes with white-striped tops and
shoes with gray tops.
With frocks of checked silk separate
coats of dark silk are extremely chic.
Some full sleeveless bodices have
ruff1es set in the armhole in lieu of
sleeves.
Revers of tucked and ruf1ed net
are seen inside the revers of long silk
coats.
Silk handbags are much in vogue
and black-and-white effects are among
the smartest.

ART IN WEARING VEIL
FRENCH WOMAN HAS BROUGHT
TITO PERFECTION.
Adjustment and Care of These Inn
portant Little Accessories of the
Toilet Are Worthy of the Most
Careful Study.

A close-fitting little hat on windy or
rainy days is completely covered with
q veil drawn up into the center of the
crown like f1let with which we go
marketing, writes a Partisan CORE
spondent. A nautical person de-
scribed these young women as meat
little craft" and they really look so
workmanlike and tidy that they would
certainly brave the weather by sea or
land and never fear to look untidy,
for there is no vulnerable spot in the
hat and veil, in the coat, or in the
tight skirt and high laced boots
1t is the veil in this picture which
B interesting, for the fine weather
must do away with the weather coat
and the high boots; but the veil will
merely change it's movements. APP
parently this feminine necessity or
Adornment is to play quite an import
ant part in women's dress this sum-
mer. To know just what to do with a
veil and when to do it means self
possession and a sense of beauty. A
Frenchwoman rarely turns up her veil
unless 1t be one of the very heavy
mourning ones; she takes it off, know
ing that a veil turned up leaves an
ugly line either across the brow or on
the nose. Neither does she twist it
into funny little knot under her chin,
because she is conscious that it looks
untidy and is bad for the veil She
adjusts it on her hat so that it can be
quickly and easily taken off, and she
pins it over her hair precisely so that
she knows where to find the pins
when the taking off moment arrives.
1t sounds such a little thing and is. in
very fact, trifle light as air, but it is
one of the details that may just as
well be mastered
Some of the wells now are of the fin
est lace, very filmy and becoming; 9TH
ers are in almost invisible net. and a
few women wear the strongly pat
termed veil. So much depends upon
which kind of veil suits woman best
Some women lose all distinction in
a heavy veil; others seem to gain their
distinction from it. A safe veil is the
fine meshed one in black, for it keeps
Grant hairs within bounds and it
merely softens without dulling the
tints of the skin. 1t is also inexpen-
sive.

scheme for the training in remunerative work
of unmarried mothers inaugurated recently
at a meeting of Evangelical church women in
the Welsh chapel, Charing Cross road
A house has been taken in a small country
town, at the foot of the Wiltshire downs, where
IA young women will shortly be received. 1t is
intended that each girl shall learn domestic
crafts, gardening, poultry rearing The in
structon will be given in the course of the ordi-
nary work of the house, commencing before and
continuing after the child is born.
Doctor Saleeby said that it was a sign of
progress that in a Calvinistic chapel people
should consider the claims of the unmarried
about to be undertaken not only as religious, but
hygienic in the highest sense of the word
In so far as you a single young mother
from the life of the Streets" he said you are
protecting the future generation from ndescribe

Mrs. LloydGeorge, who is deeply interested
in the experiment of caring for unmarried moth
ers on constructive lines, was unable to attend
the meeting, having been called into the country
to see her little girl, who is ILL., With many others
interested in social welfare, she feels that more
could be done to reclaim young mothers if

broader and more interesting lines than those

WAY FOR THE PANCAKE HAT
That Style Is the Latest Note in Mil
llnery That Is Thought Worth
Consideration.

Have you seen the pancake hat? ?"
asks a fashion expert.
The very latest recruit in the milli-
nerv forces is the pancake hat.
These hats are fiat little affairs
of straw, tulle or silk, and since the
crowns are too shallow to fit the head
they are held to tie side of the head
by means of band of ribbon, velvet
or tulle.
"Of course, the ends are tied be-
meath the ear or chin, and the pan
cake is worn at a decidedly rakish
angle-else milady is not up-to-the-
minute in fashion.
Everyone whom l have seen wear
ing a pancake seems beaming with
good humor," adds this writer, and
I'm inclined to believe that this little
oddly of the season bears with it the
power to keep one brimful. of merri-
ment-no one could be ill-natured or
grumpy with a pancake perched on
the side of ones head"

tiaI by Americans.

Nowhere in the world do fashions in
dress spread so rapidly, or make their
influence felt in such diverse social
circles, as in America, and nowhere
in the world do cheap limitations of
a new mode food the market so
swiftly
1t is only Of recent years in France
that the wives of small shopkeepers,
skilled artisans, and the less impor-
tant employees of great enterprises
like railroads have ever possessed
such a thing as hat. Even now they
shop and market without one as often
as not. The wife of a man in a
quiet, well established. tlourishing
business will stick to her plain black
gown with big blue apron over it
in the morning, uncovered, well-ar-
ranged hair, and serviceable shoes and
plain stockings, and never change her
mo, of dress, winter or summer. If
she Is employed, as she so often is, at
the caisse as bookkeeper for her hus-
band, she will usually leave off the
apron; and nowadays on Sundays and
fete days she usually dons a plain
hat.
