Special Correspondence of The star.
NEW YORK. September 14.-It is not
always easy to find out in advance what
the children will want to wear, but their
mothers will readily take to the idea OF
sapphire blue velvet, trimmed with rabbit
skin
For sentimental reasons it may not be
well to tell the little girl that her pet
animal has been served up for her pet
costumery. for juvenile hearts are nearer
the source OF tenderness than older
hearts. and it may be well not to abuse
their minds of the thought that gentle
animals are made for affection and not
to satisfy sartorial vanity.
There is SO much, you know. that we
take for granted in the, whirligig of life
that we fin6Nwe can't tell children. Does
tenderness go out of us, and should it be
allowed to 60 out of them? That is
grave question. too difficult to discuss in
a story of fashion
Somehow. rabbits and children have
been closely associated through the CEN
turtles. 1t did not need painter to fix
the association on canvas as the age of
innocence. This season they Will be
more united than ever, through the bonds
of costumery.
Adults will wear rabbit skins as well as
Juveniles, for Paris has taken it into her
capricious head to make this animal the
fashion of the hour When there is not
enough rabbit to go around, errline, seal
and skunk are substituted
Ernine is the only one of these furs

ways has been. We have also grown ac-
customed to the use of large silver but

Secretary Daniels Addresses Associa
ton Which Seeks Deeper At
.. lantic Coast Waterways.

PHILADELPHIA. Pa. September Is.
Secretary Daniels Of the Navy told
the delegates. to the ninth annual con-
ventton Of the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways Association today that they need
have no fear of the earnest and en-
thusiastic cooperation of the Navy De-
partment with any practical plan look
ing for the improvement of the inland
waterways along the coast The asso-
citation is interested in completing the
inland waterway from Massachusetts
to Florida.
Secretary Daniels addressed the del
egates at the navy yard, where they
were the guests of the department.
Events of the present, such as the re-
vlval OF shipbuilding. the inability of

crops, Mr. Daniels said. have given
fresh argument to the men who for
years have been arousing public inter
est in the inland waterway plan.
Three Great Projects in View.
Three great projects that will prove
our ability to conceive and carry out
national improvements for the near
future. Secretary Daniels said. are
the improvement of the Mississippi
river and it's tributaries, the improve
ment of the Sacramento river and the
completion of the inland waterways so
that a submarine may travel through
the inner passage from Boston to Key
West, ready to dart out at half a dozen
important places to strike terror to
any enemy lurking on our coast. This
inland waterway is primarily to secure
cheap water transportation. but it has
a military value as well. and in con-
sidering its worth to the republic both
must be regarded.
