Whatever accomplishments or sports
are to be cultivated in our girls. their
training for them should begin early.
Riding, swimming, tennis, walking,
climbing, music and languages add
so much to the JOY Of life that every
girl is entitled to a chance at some OF
them. While the girl is growing up Is
the time for her first instruction and
for the really tedious practice which
q knowledge of music and languages
compels. Timidity Is easy to overcome
In the young, 1t is especially sensible
to insist on having children taught to
swim and ride, and girls excel when
given a chance In these sports.
A glance at the habit of the smartly
clad little miss shown in the picture
above reveals that her habit follows
closely the summertime habits worn
by her elders. The fad for puttees In
place of high-top boots has extended
their use to the youngsters, and wash
able cloths--heavy linens and Palm
Beach cloth particularly make the
best choice Of fabrics for breaches and
coats. 1t is only in certain details
that there Is a difference between this
habit and those made for grown-ups.
The coat is less trim In lines than
those cut for developed figures. The
soft blouse with turnover collar and
how tie provides about the only appro-
pirate manner Of dressing the neck.

and will continue to be so through the
autumn. They are worn over separate
skirts and cuirass blouses. or short
Chinese tunics, and they have that
swagger military mir that comes from
their careless arrangement across the
shoulders. All Of the new ones have
some kind of waistcoat arrangement
which holds them closely over the bust

seamen have met German craft and
cunning with British craft and cum
ming.
Until THIS week the public has known
nothing about the mystery ships.
known In the navy as the co. ships.
although several officers, notably Capt.
Gordon Campbell, have been decorated
for their services on these vessels. De
tails now can be made public, as the
Germans are becoming aware through
bitter experience of the methods used
against them.
Baby" Blows Up Diver.
How a woman and baby" accounted
for U-boat Is told by the correspon-
dent. TIE submarine ordered a yes
sci to surrender and fired "a few shells
into 1t. The boats then left the ship,
leaving on board a woman who ran up
md down the deck with baby In her
arms. rs If mad
The U-boat came aln4gside the yes
sci and the woman hu.sed the "baby''
into The open hatch. The .baby" cx-
ploded md blew out the bottom Of the
submarine. The "woman' was deco
rated with the Victoria cross.
The correspondent says that the first
mention of mystery ship was In the
case of the Baralong, which on August
10. 1915, sank a U-boat after the tor
pedolng OF the British liner Arabic.
It will be remembered. he says. that

correspondent, went up In Germany
about the treachery Of British seamen,
but the German allegations curiously
censed at the beginning of 1915. These
allegations afforded a typical example
Of German mentality, for they ignored
the fact that in every case the U-boat
! was an actual or potential assailant
and any ruse OF war is considered legit-
innate by them except when employed
against Germany
II. should not be forgotten, he con-
tinues, that the Germans designed
mystery ships for commerce destruc-

much ingenuity In deyising plans for
