BRITISH NAVAL FLEET
 IN INTERIOR OF AFRICA

LONDON, April 20 CBy MaiD An account of the smallest and one of the most successful British naval ex- petitions sent out during the present war,-that which cleared the Ger mans from the district of the Lake Tanganyika in Africa has just been published by the Colonial Institute here.
 The expedition included only 28 men, and it went through the cam paign without a single casualty. Its two boats were transported 5000 miles by sea and then $500 miles by land before they reached the scene of their objective. They were dragged long distances through the bush and over range of mountains, some times in temperature of 100 de- grees. The first encounter with the enemy was when the German armed motOr-bOat Kingani sailed into the bay where the British ships lly, her commander unaware that the British navy was on her back Tho Kinani was chased to the lake and after be- ing heavily shel,ed, surrendered. She then resumed her career under the British flag as the Eff.
 Some time aftCrward, another Ger man boat appeared, the Hedwigs-I von Wissman. Tho Eff and Mimi chased her thirty miles, until ct 5000 yards the Eff got tEe range with high-explosive sFells. In a few min utes the Hedwig burst irto flames and turned turtle and sank. Her en- ign was picked up, and was the first enemy ensign captured in any sea bottle in tho war.
 The remaining German boat, the Graf von GotZel, staycd in harbor A seaplane few over and rouacd her with few bombs. The German then filled her with concrete and sank her.

NEW EVENING GOWN
First Season in Three That Dis-
 tinCt Change Is Made.
Black Will Have Widest Popularity. laces With Dots Embroidered,
 Choice Above Everything.

The tale of the spring evening gown should be an absorbing one. for behold, it is the first season in three that evening gowns have undergone n distinct change in style, mode and vogue, and spring season ushers in new evening gowns for the elect and even ideas for the evening for those who sit by the fire, always presuming that 1t is fire that necessitates eve ming clothes to sit by 1t.
 Narrow skirts are sufficiently diff ficult to dance in, but long narrow skirts are impossible. And, inas- much as we will dance, notes a fash Ion authority, war or no war, for the evening we abolish the narrow skirt In favor of the wide or draped gar ment so that we may dance in ease and comfort.
 Some time ago I sounded the slogan of the sleeve in evening frocks. Every indication for the future con- firms all that I thought at that time and even accentuates the fashion, Evening gowns without sleeves are not.
 Every design for the spring will have the sleeves, some wide and flow ing, others long and narrow and a few even elbow length, but the sleeves will be there beyond the shadow of a doubt.
 The war will not necessarily affect the cut of the front or the back of the evening frock. Many of the spring offerings will carry the high square neckiine and the V-shaped back, but just as many will show the gowns cut extremely low both front and back and depend upon the effect of the sleeves to relieve the formal as- pect of the creation.
 In material black will have the widest popularity. It has had its Innings time and again and despite that this spring will find 1t in great demand. Of the black laces the sheer designs will have the preference over tine heavy tracings, while the faces with dots embroidered in great profu- sion will be the choice above every thing.
 Brocaded chiffons that were used last season will be given another trial combined with laces and charmeuse, and dresses of shaded nets will also be popular. All-chiffon frocks will not be given much of an opportunity early in the season. but will be held over until spring begins to wane into warmer summer months.

COVERT COATS HAVING VOGUE
Cloth Is Favorite This Spring for chappIes, Formerly Known to the
 Wearers as the Box Coat.

Covert cloth is having great vogue this spring and top coats in all lengths and on various lines are made up of this new old material. There are smart little coats on the lines of what were known once as "box coats," but now are termed "chappie coats." They are about finger tip length, are un- belted and flare slightly at the lower part.
 Many of the long models of this ma terial are made in cape effect. 9th CTS are fashioned on long, straight lines, belted and pocket trimmed, much on the lines of the coats worn by Uncle Sam's soldiers. There is a high turndown collar and deep cuffs. Four patch pockets with buttoned flaps trim the coat front, two small pockets on the bodice and two larger pockets on the coat skirt. A wide ma terial belt is fashioned at the front with large round dull metal buckle.

w hen peep c passed by during the daytime they did not say anything at all, they made funny noise, which was sup posed to sound quite mysterious and wonderful, and then they did their work.
 Now Bluey and Reddy stood all day on top of stand. They had little dishes of grain and seeds and water, and when business was dull they had their meals.
 Their master carried this stand from place to place and Bluey and Reddy always went along. They were very handsome, with the most exquis- lte of plumage. but. oh. what voices they had
 It was their pride that they could be heard a mile off, but they did not try too much of this in the daytime. They thought they might frighten peo- pie, but they certainly made enough noise to attract people to them, and to encourage them to help along the business.
 Now, the business consisted of for tune-telling. There were many pieces of paper in little box. and written on these bits of paper were fortunes of many kinds. These fortunes told folks that they'd become very wealthy or very poor. Some said they would have hard times ahead, but that bet ter times would come soon. Others said they would have great deal of luck in the next year, and again a fortune said that the lucky one who received this fortune would take a long and wonderful journey and meet a rich man at the end, and that they would live happily ever after, as the old-fashioned story used to say.
 These macaws would poke their beaks down into the little box and pick out fortune of piece of paper with the printing upon 1t.
 They were supposed to tell by the looks of the person what sort of a fortune he should have. They did nothing else but hand out fortunes all day long, and the master would say:
 Come and have your fortune told by either Reddy or Bluey. Only costs ten cents."
 "I think" said Reddy, tits a good joke. and it's all right if folks take it that way. But when they believe these fortunes-that makes me mad It makes me think so little of people Why. the other day, little girl came up to have her fortune told, and ! picked out piece of paper for her.
