Has anyone ever sufficiently sung
the praises of the simple satin frock ?
AS first aid to the wardrobe there is
no type of dress which approaches 1t.
For the woman who can afford a
dozen new frocks. as for the woman
who cam only have one. it is equally
Indispensable. 1t has serviceability.
beauty, becomingness, utility and
moderate cost all in its favor. 1t is,
in fact, what our grandmothers called
u "to mill and to meeting gown"
But the woman who is contemplate
ing the purchase of q satin frock
should have her mind firmly fixed on
it's first requisite, which is good quail
ity. the best possible to obtain.
Economize in any conceivable way
rather than In the grade Of your
satin-this applies especially to the
woman who is counting on the satin
frock as her one good gown for the
season. Probably there is no other
fabric known which can endure as
much hard wear as a really excellent
satin without showing signs of shah
biness.
Instead Of rovering about on the
fringe of society, milady is going to
wear it this season. At least tt1is
smart satin frock would indicate that
such will be the case. Black satin
forms the Russian blouse too with its
cowl collar and graceful bell sleeves
Thirteen rows Of lcoped fringe, count
'en, form the skirt which -tapers to q
narrow hem. A black silk and gold
! cord marks the waistline. This ultra
smart frock is for the woman who can
have more than one.

FLYING BOAT ABLE
TO CARRY 50 men.
AMERICAN FLYING BOAT SAID TO
BE THE LARGEST IN
THE woRLD.
WILL RIVAL OCEAN LINERS
The Machine Was Designed for the U.
s. Navy BY Glenn H. Curtis, and
Some of the. Dimensions Are
Amazing.

New York.--Now that censorship
has been eliminated, 1t is possible to
reveal details of the American flying
boat, the largest in the world. A few
weeks ago Lieut.. Mccullough carried
50 men from the navy station in a
fight along the Atlantic coast and
which is declared to be one of the first
examples of the great craft destined
some day to rival the ocean liner and
railroad train.
The machine was designed for the
navy by Glenn H. Curtiss, and some Of
its amazing dimensions are as follows:
The span of the upper wing from tip
TO tip is 1875 feet; the depth Of the
wings II feet; the gap between the
upper and lower planes, IL feet, and
the length from propeller to tail meas
TRES 20 feet.
The boat, known as the Curtiss N.
c. /, can carry sufficient gasoline and
oil to stay aloft for Is hours, and can
travel at the rate of 80 miles an hour
Despite its tremendous size and weight
it can rise to height of 1000 feet in
10 minutes. In design the N. G. is
similar to the America" designed by
Curtiss for Rodman Wanamaker. Ow-
ing to the war the America" did not
achieve its mission, that of traversing
the Atlantic.

Mr.. Williams also said that the ma

and trust companies in the country, as
shown by their reports of June, 1917,
and that in the past five years the

FIRST "PEAcE" CHRISTMAS
World At Peace For First Christmas
Since 1913-Soldiers and Sailors
Take Part.

ashington.-America celebrated q
victory Christmas.
With the world at peace for the
first Christmas since 1918, because OF
the victories of the military forces OF
the United States and the allies, the
American people appeared determined
to make the celebration memorable.
This determination seemed to have
been intensified by President Wilson's
Christmas message to the American
people, saying that throughout the
great nations with which we have
been associated in this war public
opinion strongly sustains all proposals
for just and lasting peace"
A return to the merry Christmas OF
former years was apparent throughout
the nation. Business reviews showed
that, despite the uncertainties of re.
construction, the old spirit of giving,
accompanied by good will toward men,
had been revived.
In the celebration of the victory
Christmas the soldiers and sailors who
made such a Christmas possible had
large part Though large part of
the military force of the nation re-
manned overseas, those who have re-
turned were given welcome in every
community and had large part In the
days celebration.
For the first time in the nations
history, Christmas was not observed
at the White House. President Will
son, in France for the peace confer
ence, spent the day with the Ameri-
can troops at the front. Members of
the cabinet and of Congress spent the
day with their families.

They VIII Become Permanent Units Of

Misunderstanding Of the Eagle
boats have convinced navy construc.
tors that the little craft turned out by
the Ford plant at Detroit to fight sub.
marines are worthy Of taking their
place as permanent units of the fleet.
1t was learned that official reports to-
the navy department giving full details
of the trials show that in speed, sea-.
worthiness and maneuvering ability
the new boats exceed all contract re-!
quirements.
An average sustained speed of 1873
knots was made by the boat submitted
by the navy experts to their tests. The
vessel showed no signs of "buckling"
under this gait or when the speed was
forced still higher for short periods.
It already has been announced that
most of the Eagles completed under
the war contract will be utilized as
gunboats.
