WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Aug. t.
Thomas W. Miller, OF
Delaware. spoke in advocacy of the
bigger navy" bill before ii passed
the House yesterday. He claimed II
was really the Republican program
that was being adopted. Mr. Miller
also read into the record an article
from THE EVENING JOURNAL of
Wilmington about warships that have
borne the name Delaware" Mr..
Miller in his speech said;
"Nlr. Speaker, I shall vote for the
building program AS continued in this
BILL and as passed by the Senate pro-
viding for four dreadnaughts and forr
battle cruisers. During the closing week
of May the House considered and passed
the naval bill as it was reported from
the House committee on Naval Affairs
with, of course. those amendments writ
ten in on the floor during the considera-
tion Of the measure During the debates
on the bill we heard the worth OF the
dreadnaughts minimized and the opinion
vouchsafed that as class these ships
were relegated to the scrap heap. On the
floor of the House we heard expressions
something like this; One thing above
all else the present war has de-
monstrated is that the efficient instru-
ment for warfare is not the great mas
sive battlcship' At that very moment,
Wednesday, May 81, when those words
were being uttered on this floor, and
other words very similar to those, the
greatest battle fleets ever engaged were
in combat Off Jutland Bank. in what Is
known as the Rattle of Skagerak. This
WAS the battle between the British and
German battle fleets and was the first
great battle in which dreadnaughts and
battle cruisers were engaged, and the
dreadnaughts came of with first laurel,
In that engagement. Since June we
have had an opportunity to examine the
official report Of the British Admiralty
on that fight, and from this report we
learn much as to the value Of dread
maughts. / trust most Of you have look
ed over these reports.
"The battle on that day was opened
up by Admiral Beatty and his line OF
battle cruisers. and following him under
command of Admiral Jellico was the
dreadnaught fleet which came int
action latcr on III Jne engagement h'
fore the main fleet came up Beatty'i
battle cruisers came into contact will
the German dreadnaughts with the re
suit that three Of his finest batt'
cruisers were lost before the dread
naughts came up and engaged the Ger
man high seas fleet. The reports Of thi
battle are most interesting and on bot
sides Il was demonstrated that tn
dreadnaughts was the ship that woul'
bear the brunt Of the fight and also tn
ship that would give the most punish
ment. The battle cruiser has its plac
in the navy, but the demonstration at
! forded by the battle Of Jutland Banl
shows that when these ships are matche
against dreadnaughts they stand n
show. II is most fortunate that thi
greatest Of naval battles came at tim
when Congress could take into sccoun
the lessons shown.
"The bill passed this House original
with provisions for five battle cruiser
but no dreadnauchts. Mr. Browning, {
New Jersey, member Of the Nav'
Affairs Committee, made a motion o

Plain scalloped Madeira handker-
among the daintiest of the season.
They are somewhat simpler and there
fore preferred by women of fastidious
taste to the more elaborately embroid-
cred handkerchiefs.
French tape handkerchiefs are much
admired by many women. They are
made of sheer linen, with hem
stitched edge, with the tapes placed
about an inch from the hem. One of
the most interesting of this sort of
handkerchiefs shows very narrow
hem, with a three-quarter-inch tape
placed about a quarter of an inch from
the hem.
Although careful women once spurned
colored handkerchiefs. nowadays it is
hard to resist some of the pretty col
ored silk or linen handkerchiefs shown
at the smart shops. One of the pret-

green, light blue or navy.
The color in many handkerchiefs is
daintily introduced in the embroidered
design or initials. Dainty crepe hand
kerchiefs show a corded edge of blue,
pink, maize or violet.
Cut-hem handkerchiefs are especially
attractive. Sometimes these cut hens
are of the same linen as the body of
the handkerchief, and sometimes they
are of colors-pink, blue or violet
For gift handkerchiefs many persons
choose to select the very elaborate sort.
The shops show many of princess lace
and some of venise. Although these
might be too Ella borate for daily use,
they may be used as pincushion tops
or to place on top of padded silk hand
kerchief cases.

long to find out that from Aftas hsas

fully and kept right on with whatever
he was doing. At last he quite lost
patience.
that Won would tell me why 1t is you

ready to run. 1 haven't seen a thing
to be afraid of yet. You ought to tell
us what the dangers are here, because
if we are to live here we must know
what to watch out for. I had sup
posed from what you said at first that
this barn was very fine and safe
place, but from the way you act ! am
beginning to think that 1T must be a
very dangerous place.
Every place is dangerous place for
people as small as us" declared Nib
bier.
.I don't believe there is safer place
anywhere than this barn. but even here
there are dangers. I'm not afraid: I'm
just careful" Nibbier SAID this IN
very dignified way.
Huh" shifted Danny. Il wonder
what you do when you are afraid.
Now, what are the dangers here? Does
ANYBODY ever hunt you?

spends a great deal of time out here
hunting for me. She is the most ter
rible creature" Ntbbler shivered.

used to come down on the Green Mead

thinks she is a great hunter, but she
doesn't know the first thing about
hunting compared with some / know.
Who else is there?

is terrible fellow, but he doesn't go
out of his way to hunt me. And then

keep out of their way" said Nibbler.

"All what" asked Nibbler.
"All the dangers we have to watch

"All except traps: but when you
have learned what those are like they
don't bother any. I should think that

OF Interest TO Women
THE USE OF BLACK AND SILVER BRocADE.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. December 12.--When the
season first brought out one or two es-
pecial1y good gowns of black and sill
yer. the flower stamped in a heavy
bullion design on brilliant back
ground. the complaint was that the
price of the material put it beyond the
limits of many purses. 1t would seem,
however. that the purses have stretch
ed and found themselves sufficiently
elastic to meet a gown that has enough
silver and black brocade in it to com
mend itself to the first line of new
fashions.
A gown that Worth sent to this coun-
try in September, which was made OF
this expensive fabric, with the addi-
tion of black velvet and tulle in the
regulation Worth manner. found host
of admirers but few followers. This
was because of its price. ] remember
one of the leading dressmakers here
patrons that the skillful use of -
yards of this fabric would bring about
an excellent result and give the on
locker the idea that quantities OF 1t
were used.
Such a gown was attempted and the
result was satisfying. OF course, 1t
takes a master hand to manipulate
small object in such an effective way
that it becomes the center of attention,
and yet, there is among women who
must steer carefully through the chan
nels of dress just the maneuvering
brain that will accomplish this.

compromise between the Louis Quinze
gowns and those under William the
Conqueror. In it the flash of black
and silver brocade is adroitly intro
duced. and it is done SO well that it
has a strong appearance of richness.
The whole gown is of black tulle.
and the panel of brocade is used down
one side. veiled with different thick
nesses of tulle. The latter fabric is
draped into loops at the hips, and the
bodice of black velvet is arranged in

Glinpsing Through Tulle.

If part of this material is shown and
another part concealed in an alluring
manner under tulle. the effect is good.
This method is recommended to those
who want to give the appearance of
wearing a brocade gown, without hav-
ing the brocade in any sufficient guam
tity to warrant the name.
The present price of all these fab
RIGS allied with their excessive fash
ion at the moment makes ii worth
while to consider how one can ma
nipulate the price and the appearance
in a successful manner. 1t was SO
when pieces of rare Chinese embroid-
ery were used on gowns. and it is al
ways true of good interior decoration
that one has to work hard to find out
just where to put the most expensive
and brilliant bit that one possesses.
