model illustrated shows new and
very practical style in coats. In the
back is it very full, and falls in rip
pies while on the front it has less full
ness. A wide gauntlet cuff is used on
the sleeves, and the high collar which
flares up as high as the chin is unus-
ually new and smart. The model is
developed in blue serge. Other fab
RIGS which are being used for such
coat are black and white checked
coating, covert cloth, field cloth, ga
bardine, and for the fancy oat fallle
silk is used.
Speaking of faille silk reminds me
of an unusual model which was shown
in one of the shops of oyster white
faille. 1t was very full, back and
front and the entire thing was edged
with a wide band of black velvet.
Of no less importance is the suit.
The materials used are covert, serge,
gabardine, wolfe gabardine which is
lightweight fabric of the gabardine
type, khaki or field cloth, grosgraln
cloth, covert cord, tweed, or home
spun.
The suits this season snow return
to the strictly tailored type. Of course
the military style is highly popular.
This is so named more because Of the
placing of corder trimming and but
tons than in the general cut, although
there are some that have a very pro-
nounced military cut, and with pock-
cts and belts in the places accorded
them by makers of British and
French uniforms.
1t is really strange how thoroughly
mixed are these military tendencies 1t
taxes the fair minded woman to her
utmost to be thoroughly neutral In
her dress, it can be done, however, Tor
a Uhlan hat may be worn with dress
cut on strictly English field uniform
lines. ages.
The jackets vary in length, some
are moderately long in the back and
cut chort in the front from the UNDER
arm seam. Others are cut short all the
way around. The bolero with or with
out sleeves is worn especially in the
silk suits.
In the second illustration is suit
with an Elton jacket with a V-neck
and buttons down the front. With this
is worn a full skirt which is stitched
several times around the lower edge.
This is type of suit that would make
an excellent travelling suit for the
woman who is going to the Pan-Am-
.erican or upon any other journey.
The separate waists, which, OF
course, are in great demand with the
popularity of the suit, are shown in a
large variety this year. The plain
STYLES trimmed only with buttons and
fastened down the front are consid-
cred the most correct, but the year
slowly becoming more elaborate with
q few tucks, and little shirring.
These are made of wolfe, chiffon and
creme de chine while the ones shown
for summer are developed in hand
kerchief linen, wolfe, Swiss and or
CANDY. Very plain covered buttons
are used on these waists and some OF
the very latest have small ivory but
tons shaped like quinine capsules
down the front. Most of the waists
are made with long, close sleeves and

Wants Divorce.

A city woman asked for a divorce
on the ground that her husband has
never in all their seventeen years of

hungry she must be by this time. But
the husband complains that, though
he may have neglected his duty in
that line, he knows of forty or fifty
other men who have kissed her
enough to make it all up.

The chancellor apparently had not

was called to the extent which the

the responsibility of the war. He then
volunteered to give an explanation of
his meaning. In substance it was that
he had spoken of the treaty not as a
scrap of paper for Germany, but "as
an instrument which had become OBJ

its neutrality; and that Great Bril-

Sea was given out in Berlin:
During the advance of our armored
cruisers Seydlitz, Derfflinger, Moltke

London, Jan. 26.-An attempt by
German cruiser squadron to re-
peat the attack recently made on
Scarborough, the Hartlepools and
other British coast towns was frus-
trated by the British patrolling squad
ron, and in running fight the Ger
man armored cruiser Bluecher was
sunk and two German battle cruisers
were seriously damaged.
The British ships suffered only
slight injury. So far as is known
only 123 of the Bluecher's crew of
1856 we're saved.
A battle also occurred between the
light cruisers and destroyers, accom-
panying the bigger ships, but the re-
suit Of this engagement has not yet
reached the admiralty.
The British were superior in ships
engaged, weight of armament and
speed, and the fight of the German
ships into the mine and submarine in
tested field possibly saved them from
further losses.
sIueeher Re-rigsed Last Year.
The Bluecher was cruiser of 49,
$50 tons displacement, and although
commissioned in 1908, was complete
ly re-rigged last year. She was not
classed as a battle-cruiser, but was in
the next class to those formidable
fighters. With her were the Derflinger.
Germany's latest battle cruiser, which
had just left thu builders hands, and
the battle cruisers Seydlitz and Mott
Ike, the latter q sister ship Of the
Goeben. formerly Of the German, but
now Of the Turkish feet, which was
recently reported damaged BY the
Russians In the Black Sea.
The British squadron. commanded
by Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, who
also was in command at the battle
on Helgoland last August, consisted
Of the battle cruisers Tiger, Lion,
Princess Royal, New Zealand and In
domitable. The first three of these
cruisers mount eight 1876 inch guns
each, and even the New Zealand and
Indomitable carry IL inch guns, which
are equal to those of the Derf1inger,
the only one of the German ships that
had better than IL inch guns.

talk in Boston was spliced into the
line Monday, thirty feet Of it at New
York and thirty feet at San Francisco.
Ever since the telephone was dis
covered, America, the land of It's
birth, has kept the lead, using more
telephones than all the rest Of the
world. More than twenty-one million
miles Of wire In this country now
unite nine million telephones In 10000
cities. towns and villages. All the rest
Of the world has less than five million
telephones.
In 1876 the longest telephone line in
the world was from Boston to Cam
bridge, two miles; in 1884 it was ex-
tended to New York, 235 miles. Chi
cago and New York were connected in
1895, and In 1911 New York could say
Hello" to Denver.
In the forty years since the tele-
phone was invented nearly hundred
types Of transmitters, and numerous
repeating instruments and other de-
vices have been used and discarded
for something better, but It is asserted
that no single new discovery has been
responsible for this latest and great
est achievement In the telephone art.
In the two circuits Of the transcon-
tinental line there are approximately
six million pounds Of copper wire, or
about two hundred carloads. This
wire is stretched on 100000 poles,
which II they were loaded on railroad
cars would make twenty trains OF
thirty cars each.
The route of the transcontinental
telephone line is from New York to
Pittsburgh, thence to Chicago, Daven-
port, Des Moines, Omaha, Lincoln.
Denver, Salt Lake City and to San
Francisco.
It is understood that the rate will
be about $21.0O for three-minute talk
from New York to San Francisco.
