Friday.

Owners of property in the vicinity
of the Howitzers' Armory, on Eighth
Street. appeared before the Council
Committee on Public Buildings. Prom.
critics and Utilities last night TO pro-
test against the addition of an annex
designed to take care OF troop of
horses TO be furnished the command
under recent congressional appropri-
alton Of 100000.
The matter was before the committee
in the form Of petition from Captain
w. NJ. Myers, of the Howitzers. asking
that 1t look over the premises and
make an appropriate recommendation
to the Council for the enlargement of
the armory. The committee adopted n
motion referring the matter to n sub
committee of three consisting of Coun-
cilmen Atkinson and Batkins, and AL
dcrman Christian. The subcommittee
will meet at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon

probability that the expenditure will
eventually be Increased to $4,000.
The present European war. said Cap
tain Myers. has demonstrated to the
world the fact that infantry is help
less without efficient field artillery to
throw shrapnel over the head of the ad-
vancing column to clear the cnemy's
trenches. The War Department Of this
country, he said. has undertaken to
put all the militia field artillery COM
mands on an efficient war footing, and
horses are Indispensable
FEAR sTAHLE WOULD
CREATE A NUISANCE
Miss Julia r. Henning, who headed
the committee of protestants, presented
petition signed by sixty residents of
the vicinity requesting that they be
protected against the erection of
stable In their midst. The establish
ment of n stable az the armory, said
Miss HenninE, would create a nuisance
in the neighborhood and cause residents
to desert 1t, bringing about a serious
shrinkage in property values.
Captain Myers expressed the belief
that way would be found to meet the
objections of the residents of the
ncighborhood. The Howtzcrs. he said.
would not consent to any arrangement
which would cause embarrassment to
their ncighbors. He suggested that it
might be found cXpedient to stable the
horses in the ravine Immediately in the
rear of the armory building.

the summer clothes situation has
come out of the> realm OF forecasts
into the present of reality. the con-
illusions drawn by the wise ones who
prognosticated June's clothes in Feb
ruary have been discarded and the
real clothes situation has been sum-
med UP. One is reminded of the
reasoning of the centuries before the
modern awakening of science. Was it
Charles | and his courtiers who ar
gucd at great length about the
amount of water some goldfish would
displacee Some of the wise cour-
tiers contended that they would dis
place no water. and all had a definite
opinion on the subject. Then some
ultra modern among them suggested
that little actual measuring OF the
water, with and without the goldfish.
would settle the question easily and
definitely. Now the problem of the
Courtiers may not have been about
goldfish, but it was concerned with
some equally simple matter. And the
methods of the men who argued it
suggests the attitude of many people
toward clothes today. They are
afraid TO trust conditions in the
clothes world that really exist in the
United States. They would far rather
argue the situation from the French
point of view.

ford striking contrast, even when
combined, that they are used gen
orally alone. When vivid colors
were the rule, combinations resulted
in striking effects, and were there
fore worth while.
Black and white is good deal
worn. There are some very good
top coats in black and white plaided
and checked woods and there are
some smart suits with black coats and
skirts of checks-in wool and silk.
A new fad is to wear black and white
plaid or striped stockings with suits
and frocks of black and white. And
when one remembers that some six
or eight inches of the stockings show
above the tops of low shoes. one real
lies that these magpie stockings are
bit striking.
Shorter and shorter grow the
skirts. There will. doubtless, came
sticking point. But it is now not at
all unusual to see skirt that swings
ten or twelve inches above the
ground. Sometimes, too, the lower
edge is irregular. cut into deep points
or scallops. And sometimes the skirt
is pointed both back and front, and
is cut away on the sides even higher
than the prescribed eight or ten
inches that applies to the back and
front

THE COLOR IN THE CLOTHES OF THE SUMMER

To get back to the color question:
This is not to be summer of very
brilliant color. but it is. nevertheless,
to be summer of almost incessant
color. Pale pink and blue, corn
color, violet, tans of really colorful
hue-all these are to be much worm
Blue is always a popular color.
Probably no color has been so much
worn as navy blue. And for the last
few years it has been in high fashion
This summer is no exception. There
is much navy blue, in serge and
gabardinc and taffcta. But there are
so many other shades of blue with
a wide claim to fashion that navy
blue no longer holds first place.
The lovely shade known as Bel
gian blue, the bright cadet blue. the
deep midnight blue, the new blue de
other shades share with navy the
soldat or soldier blue. and many
claim TO pre-eminence.
There is something quite delight
full about the color names that arc
used nowadays. They are highly
descriptive, as much so as the ad~
dress on the envelope of letter to
friend in England. The various
blue shades already mentioned, bat
tleship gray. Rocky Mountain gray,
butter. orchid, primrose, pearl, to-
baeco brown, Palm Beach, sand

each of these suggests and describes
the color it names.
There are a good many figured
silks in the light. pastellc shades
regular Pompadour silks. They are
especially pretty made up for sum-
mer afternoon frocks. in the more
durable patterns, or for evening
frocks in the more fragile ones. These
silks demand full skirts if they are
to look their best. One can hardly
conceive of Pompadour silk made
up into a narrow-skirted frock slash
ed to the knee, and worn without
petticoats.
Striped silks, too, arc to be worn.
Black and white and blue and white

striped with white for blouses and
occasionally frocks. Then there are
the changeable taffetas-not many Of
them, but now and then used cffec-
lively.
Color combinations OF fashion are
blue and brown, blue and gray, black
and white-evcry color with white,

bined as they were season or two
ago. when the colors used were more
vivid. Black or white is used to give
tone to light color, but it Is usually
used alone. Perhaps it is because

1t is not too soon to talk about the
clothes of the summer of 1915. For
the clothes that most women buy
and plan now must do service
throughout the warm weather-with
occasional replenishings, of course.
From all indications of the spring
it would seem that this summer is to
be one of light colors. Some au-
thorities have spoken OF the present
fashion situation as colorless one
They have dragged IN the ever-pres-
ent war as a reason why women have
adopted dull and dark colors. The
war influenced the women OF France,
they argued, so that they Stunned
brightness; and the rest of the world
took the mood and the clothes of
France. Others, those connected
with the more practical end of the
clothes problem, have asserted that
the war did, indeed, cause a dearth
OF color in clothes. But they said
that the lack OF dyestuffs would make
this summer of tans and other neu-
trail tints-colors that did not re-
quirc the imported dyes which Ger
many has been in the habit of fur

Grandees Of Spain.

A GRANDEE Of Spain enjoys the
"a privilege, granted him many
hundreds Of years ago. of remaining
covered" in the presence of his SOW
ereign. This custom dates from the
period when. according to the theory
then held. the king was "the first
among equals"
The ancient formula always at the
coronation of the kings of old Spain
was: I'VE. your equals. choose You to
reign over u.s." And the king assented
in this declaration Of his mobiles
There was time when all grandees
Of Spain wore their hats in the pres
ence of the king, but in time the idea
of caste began to prevail even among
the grandees. with the result that they
were eventually divided into three
classes. and these classes were distin-
guished by the hat etiquette.
The first class entered the royal pres
ence covered: the second class entered
uncovered. and. after an advance Of a
few steps, pu. on their hats, unbidden
by the king, and the third class also
entered uncovered, but did not cover"
until requested to do so by the king.
Then, according to the etiquette, all
were equal"
There have been Erandees who were
not Spaniards-notably the Duke of
Wellington, upon whom the cortes
conferred the honor In recognition of
his services to the state.
