WHEN SHIPS HAD FlGUREHEAD
Designers of High Degree of Skill Put Their Best Efforts Into Their
 Composition.

For many centuries, down to the be- ginning of tlHe nineteenth. the orr>-- mentation of vessels, especially men-of- war; was profuse, intricate and fiorid. On the United States line-of-battle- ship America, launched in 1782, and presented to France, the figurehead was a female figure crowned with laurel, representing "America." The right arm was raised, pointing upward. On the left arm was a buckler with a blue ground carrying 13 stars. On the stern of the ship under the cabin win doWs appeared two large figures in bas- relief representing "Tyranny" and Oppression" bound and bleeding on the ground. On the back of the star board quarter was a large figure of Mars" On the highest part of the stern appeared "Wisdom," and above her head an owl
 Philadelphia furnished not only the greatest ship designer in the United States, but also the best ship carver in the world, William Rush. In this field he was without a rival and to a won- derful technical skill he added an ar tistic sense of beauty and genius for composition.

sleeves are edged with narrow band4 of beaver
 Baby Persian lamb or chinchilla is the borrowed name of the material used to make a splendid coat and hat for small girl, as shown at the right of the picture. Weavers, having un- dertaken to make a cloth that would look like pelt, succeeded so we'll that they did not think 1t worth while to find new name for it. They could not find one that would describe it so well as the name borrowed. The coat is straight, with big patch pockets and wide, full collar. The clever little hat, in new shape, which was surely inspired by the perennial Napoleon hat, covers the ears. With her hands in her pockets the determined-looking lit tie maid so cozily fitted out in the picture, might challenge Jack Frost to take her out for look at the home of the Aurora Borealis.

 "Did you surprise emp inquired an acquaintance from Streddle Ridge.

Leastways, when we busted into the house we found Miz- gus Prodd holding Jurd down on hi back on the floor by means of hJ throat and humping him on the hef with skillet, while the childrS hopped around and bet grains of poR corn on wilhelm would whip.

Fabrics Are WoolIY.

Woolliness is the chief character istic of the new winter fabrics. Those which enjoy the greatest popularity are velvety as to surface, though they are found to be woven ir different sorts of ways when you corse to ex- amino them closely. Even for negli- gees and evening dresses there is a rough material fine in texture and light in weight which has become popular It does the same things that q velvet will do. though its appear ence is different.

Mid-winter finds the heads of the younger girls clad in beaver, felt, vel vet and duvetyn mostly, with beaver far and away the favorite, especially for little girls. But the flapper and the debutante, as well as small girls, are provided for in hats of this beau tiful and remarkably durable mater ial. Nothing gives more satisfaction to it's wearers and beaver figures in the millinery of every season more or less for grownups-but for children and young people it always figures more.
 Hats for children are so simply sum up their story so far as trimmings are concerned. That word is ribbon" Good qualities in faille, grosgrain, moire and some other heavy weaves, make the bands and sash ends that distinguish the most elegant of hats for the younger set. There is but one all-beaver hat in the group pie tured above. pretty model for a girl of sixteen or so. with collar and bow of narrow tinsef ribbon.
 The saucy tam at the top of the group is made of duvetyn and has a shirred top crown and head band. A flat rosette of ribbon and tassel of yarn at the right side give the crown the required droop and dashing angle and the best of selections as a trim ming for a girl of fourteen or some

In Gay Colors.

This year the French gowns are made in such colors as tomato red, victory blue, cerise and mandarin yell low. There are top coats of bright red crepe de chine which one must ac- knowledge are eapricious. They are also lovely. One is lined with gray Angora and heavily trimmed with it. It probably strikes the high note ip top coats for the country.

Some of the new fabrics brought out this season developed a special fitness for children's and misses wear. It has been time of new departures in the weaving of cloths and of tryouts of these fabrics for making winter gar ments. Some of them were lovely, but short-lived, and others have proved sturdy as we'll as beautiful. New weaves add the spice of variety and the charm of novelty to the seasons offerings, but they must have staying powers to remain long in the good graces of women, especially if they are to face the weather, and the wear that wintertime and children will exact.
 Having stood the test and come up smiling, the pretty coat at the left of the picture asks to be considered. It is made of the material called "auto wear," and is a woolen pile fabric that looks much like corduroy. It is an own cousin to that stalwart member of the fabric family, but much softer and having much more distinction in appearance. Quite likely it was planned to be used for motor coats, but immediately extended it's field of usefulness. It appears in coats for gr6wn-ups and misses. The very fine example, shown at the left of the two figures above, pictures a coat for a miss in her teens. The collar and

where near that important age. Tlla hat at the right has a crown of velvet and an upturned brim of beaver with ribbon straps and velvet buttons by way of ornament. This is allowing a good bit of leeway in trimming for d girl of ten or so. But a younger girl at the left of the group is indulged in a velvet hat with a very large and soft tam crown that falls over her soft curls at the back.

SENATE ADOPTED THE NEW ..
 ARTICLE TEN RESERVATION.
Fourteen Democrats Voted With the United Republican Mem bershp For the Reservations Action is Accept ed Generally Fastening the Treaty Toward Another Deadlock-Democrats Are Confident of Control of a Sufficient Number of Votes to Prevent Ratification

Washington, March 15.-Reajrming its disagreement with President Will son on the dominating issue of the peace treaty controversy, the senate adopted today by a vote of more than two to one the new article ten reser- Vation framed by republican leaders.
 It's action brought to an end, at least for the present, the protracted e1ort for compromise that would insure ratification, and the senate's decision was accepted generally as hastening the treaty toward another deadlock from which it could be re- leased only by verdict at the polls next November
 Fourteen democrats voted with the united republican membership for the reservation, but this detection rom the administration ranks fell far short of the number that would be re- quired to ratify. It was conceded tha; others probably would swing over on the ratification roll call, but adminis- tration leaders, backed by a definite assurance that the new reservation was unacceptable to the president eVinced no apprehension that theil forces would dwindle beyond the dan. ger point
 The vote for adoption. 56 to 26 showed on it's face a two-thiras ma. 1orlty for the reservation, but 1t by no means indicated that two-third. would vote for ratification on that basis. Included in the majority wer, the irreconcilables. holding about
