FANS.

Fans are in fashion again. They are
always a delightful accessory to wom-
ems clothes. These new fans are espe-
ciaIly attractive. Some of them, per-
haps the prettiest. are made Of ostrich
feathers, mounted on sticks of tortoise
esting fans of quiIls of graduated
lengths, short at one end Of the fan.

perhaps six inches difference between
the shortest and the longest. One love-

HATS.

The contest between large and small
hats still continues. Probably as sum-
mer comes, the larger hats will be pre-
ferred. for it cannot be gainsaid that
they do protect the eyes from the sun.
However, the same argument was put
forth last year by many OF fashions

SLEEVES.

Long and tight. often wrinkled-that
is the coming sleeve. There are many
variations on this daytime sleeve. One

shows a narrow frill of VaIenciennes
lace running from cuff to elbow on the
outside of the sleeve. Strangely as this
friIl contrasts with the fabric OF the
coat, the result is decidedly interest

woRsTED EMBROIDERY,

Many OF the new French models show
worstsd embroidery. Sometimes pock-
times there are trimming touches here
and there; sometimes there are bands
of worsted work. and sometimes but
tons for trimming. The colors used are
vivid. usually green, red. blue, and yell
low in undisguised brightness.

SHOULDER STRAPS

VERSUS SLEENE ES
The evening gown Of the winter has
been sleeveless. The bodice has been
held over the shoulders with straps
sometimes Of beads or stones; some
times of flowers, in chiffon. satin, vel
vet, or any other fabric suitable for
evening; sometimes of silver or gold.
The effects produced have been decided
ly attractive. and usually becoming.
The evening gown of the spring will
probably have a sleeve-a tiny, puffed.
short sleeve, but an unmistakable
sleeve. This, too, is capable OF many
interesting sorts Of treatment. 1t is
becoming, too. And 1t looks now as II
it would be quite as we'll liked by its
wearers as the shoulder strap has been.

sAsHES.

The sash is still much in evidence.
Its position has shifted many times in
the last year. and its size, too, varies
from. month to month. 1t is usually
tied In the front, and the ends hang in
long, sweeping lines. Often they are
fringed; sometimes they end in tassels.
In the back there is often a long. loose
panel fastened at the shoulders, end
ing just above the hem of the skirt,
and this is sash like in effect.

Wells.

Wells. always beloved Of the American
woman. are still Of the voluminous type.
They are usually bordered-with ribbon
of velvet or satin, with satin folds, or
with a lace OF chenille pattern. Black
is the usual color, although brown, and
sometimes blue, wells are in good style.
And there are some very striking ones
of black and white.

showing a navy blue suede top with a
patent leather vamp. AS navy blue
continues to be one Of the fashionable
colors, these shoes are highly accept
able.

and his initials. "R. @. c." are water
marked in the paper. BY Mr.. Morganis
direction two copies of the catalogue
were sent to Mr.. Cooke, one of which
he still has. The other was stolen from
his safe. An interesting incident in
connection with the catalogue occurred
when at Mr.. Morgans direction two
copies were formally presented by Mr..
Cooke to the Chinese High Commits
sioners then visiting the United States.
one was for the commissioners, and
they were requested to present tho
other copy to the Empress Dowager.

sloners received both copies" Mr.. Cooke
said in recalling the occurrence, but
for long, long time no acknowledge
ment was forthcoming. l thought this
very strange, but attributed 1t merely to
accident or oversight, until long after
ward when learned that the DOwager
Empress was so greatly delighted with
her own copy that she asked whether
IT would he possible to obtain a second
one. Somebody told her that the High
Commissioners had a second copy, and
she promptly sent for It and presented
1t to the late Emperor"
After Mr.. Morgan had examined
several copies of the cataiogue he sent
Mr.. Cooke a letter Of approval and con-
graduation, which meant much to the
recipient.

do the same; and personally I would
not dream Of having a single plate go
out with the slightest defect.
you see this was perhaps the most
important color work Of the kind ever
attempted in the United States, and
Mr.. Morgan himself had been in grave
doubt as to whether American skill
could achieve results equal to those in
Europe. As a consequence Vt was i'm
perative that some method be found to
treat the high lights. The Frenchman
said 1t could only be accomplished by
use of some varnish in the inks that he
could not find and which he did not
know had ever existed. He had come
to a dead stop.
There was only one thing to do,
and l started on a search through the
city, and kept on hunting until l found
"a varnish which, when tried, did the
trick.
The Introductory text to THE cata-
iogue-modestly entitled Notes by Mr..
Laffan, although really constituting an
erudite historical essay on the art of
making porcelains by the Chinese,
especially during the past twenty five
centuries-this Introductory text was
under way; and also the catalogue list of
some eleven or twelve hundred pieces,
which was being made by George
Bentham. SO far as / could see every
thing was progressing satisfactorily
when during the second summer went
up to Newport to take a much needed
rest.
Porcelain after porcelain had been
taken from the Metropolitan Museum
to the photograph gallery in Thirty
third street. then to the color studio in
lTwenty-thrd street, and from there
| lthograph stones had been sent to q
specialist far down town who was to do
the color printing. Proof after proof
had been submitted to Mr. Laffan, and
by him to Mr.. Morgan in many. in
stances, and I had received criticism as
keen as it was frequent for making one
change or another in some delicate
detail.
| But now everything was in splendid
shape. The color Autographs were prac-
tically completed, ready 10 be bound

the childs head, the parts of the pad
being drawn down. one in front and the
other behind, and held there by tape

life preservers aboard ships" he con-
tinued, land the first step must be the
approval Df kapok by the steamship in
spectlon service. The Board of Super
vising Inspectors has had kapok under
consideration. They probably will not
approve 1t until they are satisfied that it
is practicable to tell the difference be-
tween buoyant kapok and absorbent
kapok, and as the Navy Department is
actually doing 1t now the steamboat in
spectors can certainly learn to do it-or

since the wreck OF the Republic Il has
figured conspicuously in maritime dis
asters-ln some cases because 1t was not
used as. for example. in the case of the
Nantucket Monroe collision, which could
have been avoided had the wireless in
stallations on the two ships been used.
THE greatest part Of passenger traffic
at sea Is over the well travelled routes,
where the S o 9 call. followed by the
name and position, will bring succor
within a few hours. This condition
should not of course operate to relieve
ship owners of the necessity OF building
ships as safe as practicable and of navi-
eating them so as to avoid risk at all
times. But when all precautions have
failed and shipwreck does occur the
problem of temporary support afioat and
eventual rescue can be taken care Of
more easily than in the olden times.

l could see, but to begin all over again.
just where we had commenced nearly
two years before, and transport all of
the porcelains again from the Museum
of Art to the photograph gallery. and
then to the Frenchman's studio.
You can appreciate the seriousness
of the situation when you know that
as soon as $50 copies of a single plate
had been printed the lithographing
stone was destroyed, this being a con-
dition made by MIR. Morgan, who did
not wish to run the risk of having
extra copies Of the catalogue made by
any unauthorized person. His instruc-
tions had been carried out to the letter,
of course; and here we were with the
color printing done, the stones COM

Then, If kapok mattresses will be ac-
ceptable as applying under the life raft
requirements the ship owner will doubt
less be glad to equip with them, because
he will not have TO provide life RATS in

These kapok mattresses are wonder
