VERY MUCH IN WRONG GATH
Guests Mistake, 1t Will Be Under
stood, Was Not Thing to Be
Wildly Advertised.

Smythe's mistake, which is de-
scribed in an English contemporary,
must have been disconcerting, to say
the least.
You'll find your bath in the out
'ouse."
Thus he had been directed the night
before at the little inn where he was
stopping, and that is why he was now
in his dressing gown, pushing open the
clubhouse door. 1t was dark, but
there was the tub, and it would do
He hoped in. In the middle Of his
additions the red-faced landlord thrust
his head in at the door. In the dim
light he failed to see the man in the
tub.
Water quite nicely warm, thanks"
observed Smythe, "but it's a tritie
muddy"
Muddy he hanged" roared the
landlord, bursting in suddenly. Your
tubs in the next place. Git out of it,
you blitherin' idiot! Not WORD of
this in the 'ouse! That's my 'ome-
brewed ale you're a-washin' I'M"

Thought Umbrellas UnmiIitary.

Umbrellas and khaki seem a most
unlikely combination; yet one in
stance is recorded of British soldiers
taking their umbrellas into action, &C
cording to the London Chronicle. On
December 10, 1913, during the battle Of
the Nive, the Grenadier guards cap
tured redoubt outside Bayonne
While they were in possession Of this
Wellington passed by and noticed that
the officers had umbrellas up to pro-
tect themselves from the heavy rain.
He sent back his aide-de-camp,
Lord Arthur Hill, to tell them that
the duke does not approve of the use
of umbrellas in action. The guards
officers may, if they pleace, carry um-
brellas even in uniform when on duty
at st. James; but in the field it is not
only ridiculous, but unmilitary."

An attractive calendar for girl
room and a hatpin holder are shown
in the picture above. The hatpin hold
er is merely a small pasteboard tube
covered with MORE ribbon with tiny
brass buckles, handle and straps of a
narrow ribbon. 1t Stimulates golf bag
and a hatpin initiating a golf stick
goes with it.
The calendar consists of circular

edge, cut from a sheet of celluloid.
Two small oblong openings, one long
er than the other, are cut opposite the
feet.
The face of the calendar is deco
rated with a painted holly wreath

Two smaller circles swing on a
pivot back of the calendars face, with
the names of the months on one and

Certain patterns in Cretonne are
suited to dresser scarfs, pin-cushion
covers, slipper bags, candle shades
and other little furnishings that are
required for mems rooms. In the pic
ture dresser set is shown, including
scarf, pincushion and candle shade.
The cretonne shows a red rose and
green foliage against a black and
white striped ground. So decided a
pattern is to be most sparingly
used, and the scarf is therefore only
bordered with the cretonne. A
square pincushior is covered first on
one side with a small square of the
cretonne seWed smoothly over it. For
the other side g considerably larger
square is hemmed about the edges and
pinned over the cushion.
The candle shade is made over a
wire frame and consists Of a circu-
lar piece stretched over the top and
sewed to place. A hemmed strip hangs
from the edge of the frame to which
1t is sewed.

to bring it to point of extraordinary
force and efficiency as compared with
the other navies of the world is that
we should hasten our pace in the
policy we have long been pursuing,
and that chief of all we should have
a definite policy of development, not
made from year to year but looking
well into the future and planning for
a definite contamination. We can and
should profit in all that we do by the
experience and example that have
been made obvious to us by the mill

present. It is not merely matter or
building battleships and cruisers and
submarines, but also a matter of max
ing sure that we shall have the ade.
quate equipment of men and mum"
lions and supplies for the vessels we
build and intend to build. Part OF our
problem is the problem of what may
call the mobilization Of the resources
of the nation at the proper time If 1t
should ever be necessary to mobilize
them for national defense. We shall
study the efficiency and adequate
equipment as carefully as we shall
study the number and size of our
ships, and I believe that the plans al

department are plans which the whole
nation can approve with rational en-
thusiasm

not there. Either his man has lied
to him or Kitty has played them
both a trick.

thinking he has taken it before it
was delivered to the palace. But
the surprised expression on his face
proves to ihertthat he knows moth
