XCII.-Mary Scores

In the heart of New York came back to her--Eve Rochester in a taxi in the arms of Vandaveer!
 The luncheon gong sounded Mary rose. She brushed her hair and ar ranged it prettily about her face,
 Then, smiling, she descended to the dining room. Miss Eve was there, alone.
 Dick has gone back to his precious village inn announced Eve. Hes coming here this evening. We'd best start lunch right away, as I'm going to the station to meet Mir. aVndaveer. His train gets in at 3 o'clock"
 The two girls started lunch.
 Do you expect to hang on down here much longer?" queried Eve at
 Mary didn't look scrap embar- rassed.
 "I'n stay until my work is fin- ished," was her tranquil answer Eve smiled a nasty smile.
 Taking 8 long time over 1t. aren't you?'' The implication was quite ob- vious.
 You must speak to Mir. Bellairs upon that subject" Mary responded brightly.
 At that very moment Darlington Bellairs and his aunt came into the dining room.
 Whats that you say. Miss Drew?" The big man rubbed his hands affa,- bly,. What was it?"
 Tt wasn't l." said Mary, glancing casually at Eve. Tt was just that Miss Rochester thought my work down here was rather--arduousr She broke off, rather sorry that shed re- peated Eyes remark, for Mir. Bellairs threw a sharp, critical glance in his wards direction.
 Miss Rochester would do well to lead a more useful life herself1 was his brusque comment

DIVISION OF
 ALASKA NOT
 ASKED FOR

Emphatic denial was made by Gov. Scott C. Bone that he will recommend to congress in his annual report the division of Alaska into two territories as was recently stated in a special despatch from Anchorage to the Seat tie Times. 'I have made no such recommendation in my annual report. nor do 1 know where such report could have originated" he said.
 Governor Bone said that in talking at various places since coming to Alas ka he had remarked that eventually 1t is probable that the territory would have to be divided into two territories or states but that he had never inti- mated that he would recommend such action al this time. Governor Bone completed his annual report several weeks ago but it has not been released for publication This will be done by Secretary Fall and until this has been done. it is impossible. he said, for him to discuss its contents.

loss in time ia securing needed legis- lation and transacting business
 Should such q step he taken. in all likelihood Seward will become the capital of the western territory. being accessible by water from all coast points and the terminus of the United States railroad. which gives access to the north and crosses the Nenana and Panama rivers. which are the main arteries of summer and winter travel from north central Alaska to all points north as far as Nome and the Arctic.
 RAILROAD DIVIDING LINE
 This plan would give Alaska western territory embracing approxi- mately 390,000 square miles, with the old territory, with Juneau as the capital. containing 100000 square miles. providing the division was made from Seward north. using the route of the United States railroad as a divid, ing line.
 Accessibility to Juneau from the northwest and westward, including that portion of the territory lying along the Kuskokwim. now entails great hardship and consumes many weeks. It is proposed to so divide the territory as to give access to the capital to the westward by all from the interior which is now most af- fected by matters having to do with settlement and governmental devel- opment.
 Giving Juneau the panhandle with it's timber and fisheries and island and coast mines, the new territory would embrace the coal and mineral resources and farming lands.

 John Paul Jones or Farragut didn't need a card-index and a flotilla of yeo- men clerks to keep track of the differ ent kinds of fighting ships he had to depend on. John and the admirals of his day had only three major classes of ships.
 THREE MAJOR CLASSES
 These were: The ship of the line, which was the equivalent to our bat tlcship of today; the frigate. or what would be a modern cruiser. and the sloop of war or convettc which was a light cruising vessel These three classes made up the navies of the world up to Farragut's day, in the Civil war
 To further simplify matters, ships were ranked according to their guns the guns being arranged in tiers in the ships's sides. Ships of the line car ried from 74 guns to 12O and were known as "74's" or "12O's," although they always carried more guns than they were credited with As a further guide the gun tiers were marked by broad white bars around the ship lengthwise The most ignorant look

Vogue for Dance-Teas and Restaurant
Parties Creates Demand for
Attractive Apparel.

Picturesque wraps-for afternoon as
well as evening-are immensely pop

vogue of dance-teas and restaurant
parties may be answerable for this.
Certain Ii is that the fashions of the
present hour are extremely decora-

Some of the latest designs for eve
ming wraps are SO intricate that ordi-
nary women feel a little afraid Of
them, but much OF the elaboration is
centered I'm the design itself-and In
the Innings chosen. for ii is truly the
day of Innings.
Several different materials may be
mingled in these mantles-those in
tended for afternoon wear as we'll as
evening cloaks. This is a specially
practical fashion. Old garments, made
of good materials, may be taken to
pieces, freshened up and then COM
bined In this way very rich and
beautiful effects may be obtained with
out great outlay of money.

ming wrap recently launched at Monte
Carlo by Cecil SOrel. 1t was long,
almost ankle-length, and 1t was made
of several different materials-black
chantilly lace, silver tissue and rust
