warm purple or flashing turquoise blue.
Make up your mind to array yourself

self tamely appareled along with more

The blouse pictured is embellished
with embroidery, or more properly nee

of them black and the other matching
the blouse. This touch Of black tones

This blouse is gathered in at the waist
line and narrow ribbon, to match 1t,
serves for a girdle. 1t is a slip-over
model, which necessitates an elastic
band for the waistline, unless 1t is
provided with a casing having a rib
bon run through it. The elastic band
Is more convenient and the glrdle
wears better when it is made to hook
or snap together under bow at the

The separate skirt has extended its
held of usefulness and entered the
ranks of apparel for morning, noon
and night. 1t appears this season In
such stuff as nets and lace, trimmed
with crystal beads or Jet and with
sequins, or one runs across it In brill
liant velvets, beautifully draped, in
models meant to glow or twinkle under
the lights of evening.
To be worn at the other end of the
day and on the street there are very
handsome skirts of plain or striped,
Or cross-barred wooden materials. They
are In quiet colors, as taupe. brown,
dark blue, black and white combina-
tons. Among the handsomest there
are models made of materials having
broad diagonal stripes, laid in fiat box
plaits. Each plat breaks the stripe
and is stitched down or pressed in
from the waist line downward.
Besides these varieties there Is the

skirt for afternoon wear with a dressy
blouse. 1t appears in plain velvet,
draped at the hips; in skirts made of
three or more tiers Of scant flounces,
having hanging, looped bands about
them, or skirts with these bands over
tunics of another material, like the
model shown in the picture. In this
skirt the tunic Is of satin and the
Topped bands of wool like the under
skirt. They are suspended under a
girdle Of the satin and are lined with
it. The pointed ends of these bands,
turned back and fastened down with a
covered button, give the effect Of a
small pocket at each side.
The tunic skirt and the TERED skirt
are to be recommended when one
wishes to remodel last years suit
and make it into something new In
style. Along with the one-piece dress
the separate skirt has an important
place In every up-to-date wardrobe.

ATHLETES OF INSECT WORLD
Compared With the Ant, Man Cannot

Puny Creature.

Ants are the athletes Of the insect

No nonsense Is taken In ant lane
about everybody being as good ant
great as everybody else. They curse
with infinite devotion the ant babies

Throwing Chalk for Luck.

was but reviving superstition which
dates back to the ancient days Of
Thrace. where the custom originated
Of marking lucky days with white
stone and unlucky with black one.
In Its early youth Rome adopted the
custom, and although chalk, not bei.ig

name. creta, implies. as an import
from Crete, It was generally used for
the marking Of lucky days. Accord.
ing to Horace, the marking was done
with chalk for good and coal for bad
luck.

Washington. Peculiar Fitness.

1t is the conclusion almost unani-
nous among historians that George
Washington was the only man among
the Fathers Of the Republic fitted
mentally and temperamentally to car
ry the revolution to victory. The tre-
mendous burden not only Of creating
and organizing an army from raw and
undlsciplined volunteers In the fnce
Of strong enemy, but also Of or
ganizing the patriotism of the country
through v0luminous correspondence
with the governors and leading men
Of the colonies and OF maintaining
both organizations through weary
years Of military disasters, political
chickering's and petty jealousies, would
have crumpled the back Of nny other
man the revolution produced. He had
to be Mt one and the same time gen.
ers!. diplomat and statesman.

Why George Washington Was Not
Formally Made President Until
April 80, In 1889.

Although March 4 Is the date set by
law for the ceremony of the Inaugural
ton of our presidents, there was one
occasion when the rule was not OBJ
served. for George Washington was in
augurated on April 30, 1889, instead Of
March 4.
When the Constitution had been
ratified by the requisite number Of
states the Continental congress by
resolution Of September 13, 1888. set
the first Wednesday Of the following
March March a, 1881 as the "tiMe
for commencing proceedings under
the new form Of government.
Owing to delays Of various kinds,
such as difficulties of travel, ETC., MEM
bers of the first congress were very
slow to assemble in New York, and a
quorum Of both houses was not OBJ
tanned until April 6. The counting Of
the electoral vote, the notification Of
Washington Of his election to his high
Office, and his journey from Mount
Vernon to New York took until April
%, and his inauguration was set for
April 30.
His term Of Office was, however, con-
strued as having commenced on March
4, the date set by the Continental con-
gress for the Inauguration of the new
government, and so 1t came to an eud
on March 4, 1853, although 1t lacked
nearly two months Of the four years
provided for by the Constitution

Harrington, patriot himself, but

HEARTS TOUCHED BY NEED OF
GIRL WHO MUST FIGHT DEATH
Checks and Money Coming in to Take Her to

Sympathy for the young woman
who must go to Arizona that her life
may be saved is being substantially
expressed by checks and currency re-
ceived by the editor of The Washing
ton Herald.
Contributions, including the amount
raised by her immediate friends, up to
last night amounted to about One-halt
the sum she should have before start
ing alone for the Western State. the
pure air of which physicians say is
necessary to save her life and return
her to health.
In order that she may leave as
quickly as possible it is hoped that
the necessary amount may be received
within the next two days. Already
she is making plans to leave, the
hardest of which are to break home
ties. But the young woman. a steno-
grapher, who worked until it was no
longer possible for her to remain at
her desk. realizes that giving I'D homo
associations is one of the sacrifices
she must make, is filled with COURAGE

ease. The gratitude she feels for the

Ceed Immediately with a modern style
fertilization of the American island
Of Guam. according to prominent navy
officers. The subject has been dis
cussed at length by the General
Board of the navy
The navy experts also believe that
the first thing the United States
should do is to establish the most
powerful radio service at Guam. 1t
is pointed out that unless the Cable
Commission should actually interfere
and take away from Japan her ex-
elusive right to the four German ca
bles operating from the Island of
Yap, cable communication could at
any time be cut off on any line which
Japan controls.
