HER TIME WELL OCCUPIED

but it's a fact that | hardly ever go
through the day without going either
to the tailor, the dressmaker, or try
on hats or shoes or corsets. l have a

my lingerie (my friend wear lingerie,
not underwear), and very cheaply, too,
considering the exquisite work she
does, but she expects me to tell her

to choose designs for the embroidery,
and to buy the lace and ribbon; and,
Of course, l try on every garment.
Stockings and wells are about the only

MONTENEGRlN l.

King Nicholas, a democratic mon.
arch, more a patriarch than a king,
is an astute politician and a capable
administrator. Throughout his long
reign Of nor than fifty years, he has
accomplished much in the develop
ment of his land. He has increased
his territory many times; adding two
Adriatic ports to his possessions. and
thoroughly organizing all departments
Of his government.
Smallest Of Capitals.
Cetinje, the capital of Montenegro,
is the smallest of the war capitals.
1t is the smallest capital city in the
world; and, moreover, it is the most
snugly placed of war-zone cities, for it
is practically only assailable by the
airship and aeroplane. In order to
get into this city, an army would have
to ascend a narrow mountain road be-
yond the clouds, and after it got there
would find nothing in particular to do
other than to go sightseeing. There
is nothing around Cetinje to hold
on to. There are plenty of stones,
fresh air and bleak fields. From the
latter fruits are won only by undis-
mayed %pampering and cajolery.
Cetinje consists of a main street
and a cross street. On the cross street
is the kings palace. This is a fair
sized, whitewashed Italian villa, with
an audience room about fifteen feet
square and a red tiled roof. The
main street is well kept and it is n
closed by two regular lines of white
washed, stone houses, of one and two
stories, many of which have stores
on the ground floor. There is a fac

lipoli peninsula the British authorities
must be acquainted. and, the forts be-
ing destroyed, a force of sufficient
strength doubtless will be landed, IL
necessary under the fire Of the guns.
The configuration of the mainland by

safe passage, not only for the ships of
war, but for their auxiliaries as we'll.
The appearance of a Franco British
fleet off Constantinople and the con-
sequent wiping out of the Ottoman
navy. even with its German reinforce
ment, will make the task of Russia at
the Bosporus end a light one. AL
ready, 1t is said, Russian forces are
assembling at Odessa and the trans

CURED, so, in the opinion of many
astute onlookers, the ultimate success
of this undertaking is scarcely in
doubt. 1t will be one more lesson
of the ubiquitous exercise of sea
power.

A "Searcher Out.D

The science and genius of Mr.. Mar
conf have made 1t almost impossible
for alien spies to use a wireless tele-
graphic installation in the British
Isles, but there is in use by the wal
ofice a 'searcher out" which Indicates
the whereabouts Of any wireless"
used for the receipt or dispatch OF
messages. 1t is called the direction
finder, and was primarily intended to
enable the navigation officer of a ship
to take bearings of wireless telegraph
stations. with a view to finding the
position of his ship or avoiding COLI
sions with other vessels.
