The Snapdrsson Is Coming Into FASH
ion Just Now.
Fashions change even in flowers
There was time when the fuchsia
was all the rage. Then the dahlia had
a time Of immense popularity, and
hundreds Of new varieties were on the
market.
Then came the turn Of the chrysan-
themum, but as it needed house and
a lot of attention it was soon left to
the specialist, like the orchid.
Then came the great sweet pea boom.
Anybody who had garden at all filed
1t with sweet peas, and new varieties
were called after every imaginable per
son of note on earth.
Now there Is new star-the snap
dragon. People used rather to despise
this flower. But, 10, the expert has
taken notice of 1t. and it has suddenly
become the rage. IL the seed pods are

which bear flowers until one imagines
they are, like Tennyson's brook, going

CHILDISH MODES.
How to Gown the Little Girl In
the Summer Time.

Many OF the style ideas for the elders
fit into childish requirements very eff
fectively, and modish materials and
colorings appeal to the maker Of chill
dren's clothes, although, of course,
many of the loveliest stuffs are totally
inappropriate for young folk.
For the very small girls white is the
accepted thing, and perhaps there is
no great variety or novelty within the
necessarily circumscribed limitations,
but as soon as the little lady graduates
into colors her wardrobe begins to Of
fer more variety, II not greater dainti-
ness.
There are mothers who dress their
daughters entirely in white even be-
yond the years Of babybood-white
pique, white linen, white wool. white
lawn, batiste and mull-and the fad Is
a pretty one, but impractical for any
whose purse Is not well filled.
Practical little dresses In serviceable
pique and linen are appearing In an al
most inexhaustible supply, and many
Of them attain certain dressy air. the
style being In their hue and flneneSs of
their details, for simplicity Is the
watchwOrd here as elsewhere In the
sphere of tasteful child clothing.
Many of these frocks Of linen or
pique are made on straight lines, hav-
ing a narrow belt of the material or
patent leather, fitting the figure loosely
and placed at low waist line. There
are also many frocks made on the one
piece Russian lines.
Semimilitary effects In embroidery
and buttons, such as have been used
for certain smart blouses designed for
grownups, are introduced with excel
lent effect down the fronts of some lit
tie one piece frocks in white pique or
heavy white linen, and pretty jumpers
of linen or pique have front embroid-
cred panels.
The Elton jacket or bolero model is
always more or less n favorite idea
with designers of children's garments,
and this spring there are many frocks
for the small girl as well as for older
folks made with jaunty short bolero.
The little maid must have her barrel
pockets, like everybody else. An at
tractive fapper coat from Lanvin is
made Of blue serge cloth, with over
collar and revers of white faille matt
nee silk. stitched in rows with blue
sewing silk matching the blue serge
cloth. The belt buttons at either side,
and below the buttons hang the hinge
barrel pockets, which stand we'll out

ODDLY IDENTIFIES

Story Exemplifss Traditionary Sea
Caution on American Destroyer.

Queenstown. American naval Off
GERS are highly amused over recent
wireless romance" connected with an
American destroyer. The story well
exempliies traditional sea caution and
hangs on the fact that by reason OF
two Americans having been roommates
at st. Johns college at Annapolis years
ago information was confirmed at sea
that otherwise would have remained
doubtful.
One man Is civilian doctor, who has
taken an important post in Great Brit
ain; the other Is paymaster In the
navy. Two days before the destroy
ers sailed from the United States these
old friends ate farewell dinner. The
doctor was to sail by liner, but was
ignorant Of the ships name and date
Of sailing. The paymaster was under
orders to join bis destroyer.
When several days at sea the de-
stroyer got into distant connection one
night with a certain vessel and made
a code inquiry as to the vessels posi-
tlon, course and speed. No direct re-
ply was made, the vessel fearing sub
marine trick and the possibility OF a
stolen code book. Instead of answer
ing demand was made to the destroy
er, Give the name of your ship In
code" The destroyer complied
Even this was not enough. A second
wireless was sent out, What Is the
name of your paymaster, who is the
friend OF DR.. -, a passenger aboard
this ship?"
Then the paymaster OF the destroyer
was called into the wireless cabin and
asked If he knew DR.. -. "Sure! he
replied. HE was my best pal We
were roommates at college and had
dinner together two nights before l
sailed. Where is hep
The destroyer sent out another radio,
saying, "Paymaster -, the doctors
oldest friend"
After this corroborative statement
the vessel at last gave her position,
course and speed.

Don't FRAGILE Baby.

There are cross babies and happy
babies, placid babies and nervous ba-
bies. ugly babies and smiling babies.
The only difference between a baby
with a mean disposition and the grown
up person with a mean disposition is
that the baby usually has n cause for
his meanness which may be remedied
Although a cross baby is not always a
sick baby, something is certainly
wrong II a baby cries much of the
time. Now and then there may be a
baby that is cross because It does not
receive too much attention. Nothing
makes a baby more peevish than to be
trotted around all day for the amuse-
ment of the family and part OF the
night for his own amusement A baby
tires very easily and, like his elder rel
atives, be Is usually cross when he IL

FRENCH GUN SCHOOL IS

Large Force of Instructors AS
sembIed at Fontainebleau.
Special Facilities Offered.

Paris.-An American newspaper man

scribes the preparation the French mill
tary authorities are making In view OF
the training of American officers.
Whereas otherwise very stiff exami-
nation is necessary to pass into the
school, in the case of Americans special
facilities will be made. Four months
will be required to fit the latter for the
grade OF what Is called here aspirant,
which is the grade preceding second
lieutenant. Sixteen hundred American
pupils are expected at Fontainebleau,
and special corps Of English speaking
instructors has already been formed so
new arrivals can start work with
scant knowledge of trigonometry, ele-
mentary physics and chemistry.
The ordinary procedure Is to fStssas-
signed to a regiment of artillery. At
the depot the men are equipped with
uniforms and everything necessary,
then sent to Fontainebleau as soon as
possible. Men anxious to avail them
selves of this opportunity might even
come to Europe on their own initiative,
for they would be looked after by the
American military attache and the min
istry Of war and would only require a
very limited outfit, consisting OF changes
of summer and winter underwear and
riding boots; IL possible, also sugar,
chocolate and canned beef.
