from most of his intimate friends.
Last Wednesday he was at his office
apparently hale and hearty. The next
day he collapsed as he was preparing
to leave the house, and the beginning
of the end was at hand.
Mrs. Dewey and the admiral's' only
son, George, were at the bedside. They
had known there was no hope.
The body will be buried at Ar
lington National Cemetery on the Vir-
ginia shore of the Potomac river,
where many of Admiral Dewey's for
mer comrades have been laid to rest
before him.
The admiral died at 5:5G o'clock
President Wilson and Secretary Dan
iels were notified at once and the
news was flashed by wireless to
American naval vessels and stations
all over the world. The message car
ried orders that all flags be half
masted.
When news of the Admiral's death
was received at the White House.
President Wilson authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
"In expressing his grief at the dean
of Admiral Dewey the President said
the whole nation will mourn the loss
of its most distinguished naval Off
GER; man who has been as faithful,
as intelligent and az successful in the
performance of his responsible duties
in time of peace as he was gallant and
successful in time of war. 1t is just
such men that gives the service dis
tinction and the nation just pride in
those who serve it."
Won Great Naval Battle.
Admiral George Dewey. Hero OF
Manila Bay" fought and won the first
great American naval battle against a
foreign foe since the war Of 1912.
His whole life was full of honorable
achievement. from the days of the
Civil War down to the time when, as
the head of the General Board, he be-
gan the last chapter of his work by
laying plans for the defense of his
country in time of war. His life was a
striking exemplification of the possi-
bilities of a career based upon the ex-
act and intelligent performance of ev-
cry routine duty Which molds a man
on inflexible lines OF duty and honor.
George Dewey was born in the
shadow of Vermont's state capitol at
Montpelier. on the day following
Christmas in 1887.
Contrary to Spanish expectations,
Dewey sailed into Manila bay on the
night of April 80 and in the morning
of the next day he annihilated Ad-
miral Montojo's squadron. destroying
eleven warships and capturing all
other vessels and all the land batteries
without the loss of a man on the
American side.
In Farrasut's Historic Dash.
At the outbreak Of the Civil War
Dewey was % years old. He was COM
missioned a lieutenant. and guided the
Mississippi as its executive officer in
Farragut's historic dash past New Or
leans and its forts. He was not so
successful at Port Hudson. Farragut
won through, but Dewey and the Mis-
sissippi ran aground under the guns
Of the forts. The ship was set on fire

wrong time, place and occasion. AS
an example. the pretty garden smocks
worn last summer and also during the
summer of 1915 were suitable for porch
or garden wear, but some women
donned them for shopping and street
wear Such use of the garment served
to minimize its real charm. SO that it
seemed less desirable for any occasion

OF the two mushroom hats shown in

veloped in vivid Irish green with a
cluster of cherries at the side front

the other hat is a fabric one.

with fine soutache braiding in self or

preference-and the effect is very

The Condition This Winter.

France, aided by America, dismissed
the full tulle skirt and the tight silver
bodice. There are survivals of this
fashion on the stage. in some shop
windows and at few of the Broadway
restaurants, but the smart woman and
her conservative followers will have
nothing to do with the costume which
was run to ground. then buried. They
saw in magnificent medievalism the
one chance for escape. and they turned
from frivolitY to sedateneSs in the
twinklinS of an eye.
Now. exactly the same thing con-
froIts US this season that confronted
US last winter; we are all dressed alike.
Millions OF medieval frocks must have

asked of designer she got the sand

with dull or vivid embroidery done in
simple stitch to outline all edges.
One was grateful for the absence OF
drapery, and grateful for the absence
of hips. There was chance for the
woman over thirty-five to look as
though she had some dignity left, and
therefore. she gladly adopted the vari-
Gus phases of medievalism that made
their appearance in evening dress. Some
Of the artistic women did 1T very well,
and these are the ones that should be
copied as long as medievalism remains.
But France whispers that the direc-
toire and the empire will be accentuat-
ed in the spring; if so, we are in for
another kind of evening gown.

short-waisted line to the ankles. and
the black satin coat has long tail in

Philippine Embroidery.

At last women are discovering the
beauty of Philippine embroidery. That
statement is hardly true. Tor they have
known of the beauty of Philippine en-
broidery for years. But the Philippine
women have been embroidering gar
ments that could not possibly be trans
formed to suit American demands.
There is some tale that the Filipino
women, when they were taught to weaf
clothes. asked for an American pat
