Household Towels.

1t is hardly possible to have too lib

use. Sometimes it taxes the house
keeper to keep a full supply on hand,
as they have such a way of wearing
out and disappearing, but there are
economies in towels, as we'll as in
other things.
Do not buy fringed towels. Fringe
does not add anything except to the
cost. For general household use;
crash and huckaback by the piece is a
good Investment. When hemming fine
towels by hand. q small, even hem can
be obtAinad flrst by running the edge
of the towel to be hemmed through
the smallest hemmer OF the machine
without being threaded. Press the hem
back ana overcast, placing stitches
close. This Is more rapid than the
old way and saves pricking the fin
gers.

acquire. 1t is impossible to do good
work with the covering stitches un-

Of 1t when it was offered last season

Now they must be in a mood to accept
it, for one sees frocks fashioned in this
manner worn by the classes and
masses. 1t is not a general fashion,

skirt and the dounced one with the
material slightly gathered over the
hips are constantly offered for the day
clothes. The Spanish pleating and
hopping at the hips is put forward
for the evening. Which will vanquish
the other? Or will they find there is
glory enough for both?
Here is one feature of prevailing
fashions that puzzles the expert as
well as the layman. The French idea
of severity has arrived in this country,
expressing itself in crepe de chine
gowns without other fabric allied in
the making, and consisting of points,
as Vionnet sponsors. and of ceaseless
loops, as Cheruit sponsors. But the

frocks. They were utterly tree OF
frivolous touches. The evening clothes
were founded on Grecian lines. but
clothes were founded on the rnascu-
line garb Of the Unbelievables who
wore trousers to the ankles and spiked
coats with enormously fHlled shirts
and high-crowned hats.
The clothes, OF the second NAPOLEON
a half century later IN French history
were frivolous, hooped Of skirt, low IN
the neck. sashed at the normal walss
line, with hats wide Of brfm and low
in the crown. An infinite difference.
1t is the Americans who attempt to

who att empt to bring in a revival OF
the second empire fashions which were
at their height near the END OF the
French downfall before Sedan. The

glimpse one you feel it is imperative
to beckon to the wearer and whisper
that her skirt is unfastened. She
smiles and explains or looks slightly
cold and contemptuous. Do you know
30 little of the first fashion? she seems
to say.
The Innings Of these new skirts are
purposely quite brilliant and arrest
tion, which is well. as fully a half
yard shows at the back. Sometimes
the front is also heightened and the
sides are left several inches shorter.
Maybe we will like 1t after while
, and grow enthusiastic. At this hour
1t seems to be gross carelessness and
an attempt at disorder to wear q skirt
that rises seven inches OF the ground
in front and touches 1t at back.
When a designer does a thing in
heroic fashion such as this, it is
means to an end, usually. It brings
the attention of the public to the fact
that hens are not to be evenly meas
ured in the old way. Do what you
please with it, is the verdict. Scal1op
! it, IL you wish, and many do, or point
yon. But il you treasure your smart
ness, don't measure it in an even
circle.
Another thing puzzles US: What are
we to believe about sleeves? The
French say long sleeves or none"
AeA& <AAbCk ANSSS S~S ~~~S ~N'"~ ~
or none"
The best way to work oneself out OF
this trap is to adopt wrist-length
sleeves for the day hours. even in
expensive afternoon frocks. and look
upon the double shoulder straps and
short puffed sleeves for evening hours.
The long Spanish sleeve which was
incorporated into such a variety OF
garments during the winter is retain
ed in the new gowns, but il has long
ha
earliest fashions in cold countries or
it has a wide or ornamental wrist
strap that holds its hem closely
against the arms. This trick con-
tributes to grace.
The elbow sleeve has had it's day.
although it continues to appear. The
tight bathing suit sleeve belongs to
a day that is done. The full oriental
sWRthings of the arm will be retained
by individualists. but they are not to
be placed in the forefront OF fashion.
The woman who likes long sleeve,
fitting the arm and extending over the
hand. can give her preference full
sway. 1t Is her day.
It is too early to say what will be-
come Of the effort to reinstate high
collars. We may adopt a compromise,
for a period Of discomfort caused by
our neck wrappings. II We follow the
second empire. we can go on cutting
the decolette to the collarbone, il no
lower.
Strange it is that the placement of
the waist line does not affect these de-
tails regarding the sleeves, the collar,
the hem. This much seems certain,
however, in the new movements OF
fashion. that the tight hip sash with
the sagging oriental blouse above is
soon to fade over the horizon. The
slim bodice will win. 1t may end at
the waist line proper. or it may run
down to the hips. Its acceptance win
sound the doom of the kimono sleeve.

French are giving up this style and
becoming more ornate.
Will we so through a period Of SIM
plicity, short-lived, to spring into the
ornateness Of the new French frocks
later in the season?
The accent of the directoire will
bring new kind Of severity into first
fashion. 1t will bring. also, demand
for black and white as a counter
movement to rich oriental colors.
One should give to the irregular
hem the tribute due. 1t is not an ac-
cident, this .elongatien Of the back of
the skirt What was once the dis
grace of a dressmaker has become a
chief fashion, as French paper
puts it.

can Navy, as pointed out above, these
two fleets. the Atlantic and the Pacific,
are not SO widely separated as to be I'M
able to support each other. They are, in
fact, so situated at all times that one
can come to the immediate assistance of
the other in case Of any impending dan
ger of an attack from any enemy's naval
force.
1t therefore is clear that strategfcally
the new organization does not offend
against the principle enunciated by Ma
han, who foresaw that the Pacific would
be the center of naval concentration.
TWO FLEETS CAN
COMBINE EASILY.
The other question of naval activities
is whether the two fleet organizations
would materially interfere with the tao
tics of the combined feet should the two
fleets be brought together to operate as
one force.
In both the Atlantic and the Pacific
fleets we have an equal number OF divi-
sion units Of the ships Of the different
classes, so that should the two fleets
come together, either in the Atlantic or
the Pacific ocean, both Of them can COM
bine Immediately into one tactical feet,
making a homogeneous whole without
the slightest difficulty. Instead of two
or three divisions, there would be some
twenty odd divisions. Instead Of four
divisions of battleships, there would be
eight divisions. This combination of two
fleets into one has been entirely foreseen
and will be carried out in exercises with
the. two fleets combined into one.
The divisions of the two fleets bear
certain serial numbers, so that when they
come together each division has Its as
signed place in the battle formation.
Orders have been given definitely des-
ignating which one of the fleet command
ers would be in supreme command Of the
