Miss Kathleen Ogier, late Of

them after her arrival here. Her
kinswomen were at first chagrined
at the little English girls insistence
on wearing the sabot. But after a
bit they did some figuring and de-
cided it was a clever money saving
scheme. Any sort of feminine foot
wears runs at least $12 the pair.
Wooden shoes cost less than So and
never wear out. So the fad spread
from neighborhood to neighborhood,
and now v en the fastidious mani
curists and typists are Gathering
down to their establishments with
the clogs on their feet.

this will be the banner year for

We have LAUGHED three huge oil
tankers, five torpedo boat destroyers
and the largest Of all the hatt!oships,
the Maryland.
The government oil tanker, build
ing here for the Navy Department, was
launched without q single hitch at
the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Co. on April 21, at 1890
a. III. She was just AZ seconds clear
ing the ship ways. Another one Of
the same type and the same dimen-
sions will be built on the same ship
ways. The launching was delayed
a few minutes on account Of a heavy
downpour Of rain. She had as her
maids Of honor little Misses Esther
Graham II Mary Ann Madison, the
latter a daughter OF Commander
Madison and Mrs. Madison. The
sponsor broke a bottle Of champagne
on her bow just as she began leaving
