A plain little everyday dress of
corded madras, designed for wear in
the coming summer, presents little
novelty as to cut but reflects a feature
or two of the styles for spring. These
are seen in the tightening and lifting
of the belt, in the suggestion of a
square opening at the neck and in the
Introduction of a bit of hemstitching.
Every mother who makes her chill
dren's clothes is familiar with the ad-
vantages of this pattern in which the
short sleeves are cut in one piece with
the garment. Using for it the ordinary
fabrics which make up the daily wear
of little folks-chambrays, Bingham,
liner, etc.-it is possible to war; the

EXPERIMENTS WITH WHITE RATS

Philadelphians we're p~erturbed re-
Gently over the publication of the re-
suits of a series of experiments with
white rats which are being made by
Helen Dean King at the Wistar In
stitute of Anatomy and Biology of
the University of Pennsylvania.
Shorn of it's sensationalism and
half truths, the story of the expert
ments with white rats now going on
at the institute is still interesting. By
ear of careful selection and mating
of brother and sister rats from the
same filters, which is the closest form
of in%breeding possible there is being
developed a race bigger, heavier and
better in every way than the ordinary

Occasionally McReynolds tells a
story with a point so subtle that only
those with a keenly pitched sense of

dinner he sprang something that oc-
casioned not the slightest ripple Of
laughter. He waited a reasonable
length of time and then observed:
"Well, at least don't cry about it"
Nobody got that either. They
didn't understand what it was that
they weren't to cry about. So Mercy

few skirts are cut with several cores
and the stripes matched in points at
the seams. In spite of the prevalent
fullness many of these skirts are
smooth fitting about the hips, cut on a
circular pattern that gives them am
pie width at the bottom and a full rip
pie below the hips.
The skirt shown above is made of
a light weight wooden cloth in gray
with white cross bar. The seam down
the front is cut on the diagonal with
bars carefully matched. Fullness is
introduced at each side by two plaits
and at the back by a triple boxplait.
The double belt and the facing at the
bottom are of the same material as
the skirt.
These skirts are worn with short
belted coats in a plain color and with
silk or lingerie blouses.

new CHIEF OF YARDS AND DOCKS

Civil Engineer Frederic R. Harris
of the navy, recently appointed chief
of the bureau of yards and docks, navy
department, to succeed Civil Engineer
Homer R. Stanford, has made an en-
viable record in connection with G
number of important projects on
which he was engaged since appoint
ment to the navy corps of civil engi-
neers.
Among his achievements was the
solving of the problem that long had
attached to the dry dock at the New
York navy yard, the contract for
which was awarded in 1905. Five years
later, after several contractors had
failed on the job, Civil Engineer Har-
ris took charge. He employed an en-
tirely new method of construction, he
was instrumental in having the di-
mansions of the dock increased, and
he successfully completed the work
in 1912.

girl of five is perfectly plain except
for a shaped band of white, let in at
the neck with hemstitching. The belt
is provided at each end with a button
hole which slips over a fiat pearl but
