Trimming Dark silk.

There are precious few women who
can get along successfully without a
dark silk frock for hot weather wear
in town. But the big problem is how
trim this more or less tailored silk, so
that it will look finished and yet not
be conspicuously decorated? And a
very appropriate and charming solu-
ton is the novel use Of openwork en-
broidery shown on many an exclusive
dark silk. A navy taffeta for instance,
is decidedly more fetching thing for
a bit of velvet decoration.

Skipper Was Peeved.

At certain naval port the other
dsy, when low tide and an obstinate
wind made it difficult for vessels to
tie up at the pier, submarine was
endeavoring- to tie up. 0hree times
did the patient commander maneuver
his craft in fairly close. but each time
the wind caught his bows and blew
the boat away. On deck stood a
young sailor who had made no fewer
than FIVE attempts to- heave a line
on to the pier, but on each occasion
the rope fell into the water halfway.
Once more the boat neared the pier,
and the skipper" felt sure the man
would manage it this timex but. alas I!
# hit the wall about five feet too
low.
This was too much for him, and
leaning over the bridge-screen, he
shouted: "Shove the baliy thing in
your teeth and swim across before
you wear it out"

The Ghost Ship.

Among the war stories that British
naval men feel free to tell now is one
about q "ghost ship" whose mystery
has never. been, solved.
In 1917 a convoy Of II ships left a
British port. At dawn on the day after
sailing the escort commander discover
ed thirteen ships under his charge.
While the identity of the extra ship
was being discussed the convoy was
suddenly attacked by German light
cruisers and most Of the escort and
nine of the merchantmen were sunk.
The Germans then made off.
Survivors positively assert that
there were thirteen ships and that the
mysterious vessel disappeared as
strangely as she had appeared. They
are certain that the ship was not sunk.
Official inquiries failed to throw any
light on the nature of the craft. 1t
was ascertained that she could not
have been a disguised German raid
er, and her presence was logged" by
the escort commander.

crushed Tom-o-Wah-Teet was always

himself and his aged squaw by work
ing on farms, those he once aided have
