7 WAS talking the other day to
q woman who manages a very
L large business.
think I shall describe her
first before l take up the subject
we were discussing, for her expert
ence has been rather an unusual
one. Her father was a man OF
wealth, but he had certain very
well defined ideas about the up
bringing of this one lovely daugh-
ter.
Father Tried to Analyze Her;
Mother Sought to Shaekle
Her.
Although, in all probability. she
would never have TO struggle for
living. still he was a far-sighted
person, and he meant to safeguard
her as far as possible from the
risks and hazards OF this uncer-
tain game Of life.
He made a study OF her tempera-
ment and personality, trying to
discover what was the particular
bent OF her mind. and in what al
rection her talents lay, II she had
any. But although she was clever,
interested in many things, she had
no accomplishments in which she
really exceIIed, and she showed no
more enthusiasm for one thing
than for aonther.
He would have wasted thousands
on the cultivation OF even the tiniest
hint of a talent. II he could have
discovered one, but It was like look
ing for q needle in a haystack. She
was obstinately mediocre.
One day. however. her mother
came to him with wrath on her face
and what looked like the wreck OF
a large velvet hat in her hands.
This Is too much" she said. at
is beyond belief. I gave Mary this
beautiful imported hat yesterday.
OF course. It was shockingly expen-
sive, but II was so becoming to her
that couldn't resist buying It for
her, and she sat down this morning
and pulled the whole thing TO
pieces. She does It with every hat
she gets; she never wears the same
one twice. It is too anoying."
Her husband EympathiEed with
The Washington times., 1917-08-31

But my daughter won't let me
choose them any more for her"
there was tragedy in her tone.
And the things she wears! I didn't
know that anyone could get such
hideous head coverings. She won't
listen to me, and well, I'm an
expert in such things"
You are, indeed" I enthusiastic
ally agreed. But you're not an ex-
pert in daughters. You've dressed
her, as you say, charmingly all her
life. without consulting her tastes
and fancies in the least. You've
treated her exactly as II she were
a mannequIn. You haven't allowed
her to express her own individu-
ality in her own clothes ever in her
life. therefore you've invaded one
OF woman's iHalienabIe rights.
You've even dictated the way she
shall wear her hair.
Let me assure you now. that my
sympathies are all with your
daughter. Poor little girl! I don't
wonder that she blossomed into
ugly hats and frocks. They're the
natural expression of a profound
and quite understandable revolt.
I'm only surprised that you haven't
driven her to smocks"

That's the worst OF ALL" she
said. i've been ashamed to speak
OF 1t. She's wearing them now"

told what TO wear and what not

You and your mother before you,
and the great majority OF the
mothers over the length and

trying to cast your daughters in
the mold you most admire, not the
mold that Is natural for the dauEh-

pensive hat OF yesterday, today look

But every one speaks of her pret-
~ clothes and especially of her
hats" he said, rather dazedly.
1t Was Just "Aggravating" to See
Her Dismantle and
Reconstruct
"oh, she's got a genius for
clothes" admitted the mother, "and
knack about throwing a hat to-
gether. but she can't leave anything
alone, and it is aggravatInE to see
her take a wonderful French hat
and reduce II to this" She held out
the dismAntled and twisted struct-
ure in her hand.
The father found food for consid-
cradle reflection in this incident. II
his daughter spent most Of her time
in rebuilding new hats from the
ruins OF old ones. she should have
her genius for millinery const-uc-
tion cultivated. Consequently she
was taught designing from the
ground up, and she studied her pro-
fession with enthusiasm both here
and abroad.
She practiced II only a short time,
however. for she did the more in.
evitAble thing in her case; she mar
ried. For the next few years
things happened very fast in her
life. Her father died. her husband
made ducks and brakes OF her prop
erty within a very short time, and
ultimately she found herself alone
in the world, with an extremely
email income and a young daughter
TO support and educate.
It always struck me that her
father was always so desperately
afraid that she would meet with
just those particular nllsfortunes
which befell her that he wished
them on her, but nevertheless that

Better Naval Preparedness
on Coast Is Urged by
Secretary.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels yes
terday recommended to Congress the
construction of q new navy yard al
Alameda. on San Francisco Bay.
The expenditure contemplated is $36.

General improvement Of naval estab-
lishments along the Pacifict Coast
were recommended in the report. &.
The commission about two months
ago. presented to Secretary Daniels a
confidential report on. its findings ano
recommendations.
The yard is to be built on unre-
claimed land belonging to the city of
Alameda. The land is contiguous to
the Southern Pacific mole and has the
advantage Of direct communication
with all trans-continental railroad
lines.
The plans for the yard call for gun
factories, arsenals and dry dock
equipment. The dry docks will eacIr
b., more than 1000 feet in ltngth.
The program provides against the
necessity of all the heavy draft dread

Burns reimbursed him for the money
he spent for apartments at the Man
haitian Hotel.
DoOling then began inquirinE into
the connections OF Means with Mrs.
King. Here he ran against a stone
wall OF forgetfulness.
Earlier in the afternoon Means had
told OF the shooting of Mrs. King.
He told Of the visit to Blackwelder
Spring at the request of Mrs. King and
OF her desire to take firearms with
her. He declared that after they had
left the automobile and Alton Means
and Capt. Bingham. the other two
members of the party. had wandered
away. he stood and talked with Mrs.
King for a while. While he opened a
box of cartridges Mrs. King swung two
revolvers in her hands and said:
us that the way to be 4 dead shot." "
Means then said that after he had
loaded the Colt automatic revolver he
started for the spring to get a drink
Mrs. King did not want a drink but
as he passed the sycamore forked
tree near which the woman fell he
placed the automatic revolver in the
fork of the tree. Turning around he
saw Mrs. King with the gun in her
hand. He told her to put it back be-
cause it was dangerous" Accord
ing to his memory she had put the
gun down. He then stopped to get a
drink when bang" the defendant in

Il turned and saw Maude fall"
Later. he said. he hastened to the
woman's side and she was "just
crumpling up on the ground" He
then told of the efforts to revive her
and the final decision to bring her to
the Concord Hospital.
Means recital OF the killing of Mrs.
King was without the air of bravado.

Congress Persuaded Flying
Corps Means Much to
Armies Oversee.

Advocates of an enlarged aerial pro-
gram. calling for the expenditure Of
$S,ooo.ooo.oOO and more, will have the
hearty approval Of the War Depart
ment. II they can convince the heads
Of the feasibility Of the general
scheme.
The department, it was said yester-
day. is carrying on the program Of
only 1900 planes a year because at
the time this was adopted It seemed
the largest number that could be turn
ed out.
Since that time, however, several
changes have occurred in the general
situation. Those in the army who
thought the usefulness OF the air
plane limited to scouting and spotting
are being converted rapidly by the
performances on the fields Of France
and Italy. The industrial interests OF
the country have changed their view.
Where four months ago large manu-
facturers might have resented the
demand OF the government for all
their facilities today they have awaken
ed to the spirit OF winning the war
with tremendous production.
Moreover it is believed that Con-
gress will look with more compla-
cency at this time on an appropria-
tion Of billions instead of millions.
The factors that limited the pro-
gram to $4,000 planes a year were
lack Of facilities to build. lack of
facilities to transport and lack of
skilled men to drive the planes.
