policy of the House would not only
have Immediately weakened our naval
defenses, but would in the end have
resulted in heavier expense than the
comparatively small sum saved at the
outset The increase OF 5000 men,
won by the Senate, will enable the
navy to keep all it's first line ships
In commission, but there will be heavy
inroads made on the second line.
Ships cannot be effectively manned
with skeleton crews, and the device
by which In the army a few score men
can be made to do duty as a regiment
does not operate well aflost.
There seems TO be little inclination
to make a fght on the conference re-
port when II shall be offered. In the
House the penny-pinchers have a
swinging majority. and the friends OF
larger naval appropriations appear To
fear fight lest the ayowed pacifists
should seize the occasion TO carry the
appropriations over past the end OF
the fiscal year and thereby leave the
navy in even worse case. A word
from the administration would be all
effective, but while the navy is being
used in certain mysterious ways In
connection with pending diplomatic
negotiations. the executive authorities
seem to have washed their hands OF
responsibility for its increase.

We don't need ermine or sable or
kolinsky this year to make us feel well
dressed One Of the striking features
of the winter modes is the use Of mex
pensive pelts by the great foreign de-
signers. For example, stunning navy
coat dress Of kasha Is trimmed with
gray agnella. The suit from another
foreign atelier Is set off with lynx
dyed green to match the material.
The comparatively inexpensive skunk
is employed on stunning afternoon Gre
ations of georgctte and chiffon. And
one Of the most eminent of designers
has surprised us by the amount of rab-
bit which she dyes to the color of suit
or frock.
The use of both rabbit and the
crinkly pelts like agnella and astrakhan
is the limitation which the Pnris de-
signer for children puts upon pelts, and
it is one observed largely by our do
mestic designers. Above we show a
gray velvet coat trimmed with gray as
trakhan and accompanied by hat to
match designed for the girl from two to
six.

Dear Mrs. Wilson-Will you give

home? MRS. w, PIX.
1t will not pay to attempt to make
peanut butter at home. The only way
that you could attempt it would be by
putting the peanuts through the food :
chopper and this is very unsatisfactory
and not at all successful. You can
purchase peanut butter in large pals
cheaper than you can purchase the nuts
and then shell them.
Dear Mrs. Wilson-Kindly advise
what is the correct refreshments to
serve at shower, there will be
twenty guests. Can the same refresh
ments also he used in the evening rs
we'll as the afternoon? l desire
something nice, but also inexpensive.
MRS. NJ. W. NJ.
You may serve ice cream and cake,
fruit salad with coffee and thin sand
wiches made with cake and jelly; potato
salad, thin bread and butter sandwiches
cake and cocoa celery, nut and cream
cheese sandwiches, cake and coffee. II
you desire you may serve tea in place OF
either the coffee or the cocoa. All the
above will be suitable for either the
afternoon or the evening.

Read Your Character
By Digby Phillips
The Mento. .NitaIs

tuo "entO-NNalS
Reading character is like most every
thing else. theoretically you can draw
hard and fast lines. Practically, you II
find that not everybody fits entirely
within the given classifications.
You have, for instance, the three
types of character, mental physical and
vital. A great many people will fall
entirely within one or the other Of these
classifcatioB. But many also will
partake of some of the characteristics Of
each of two of these types.
You know that the vital type, for in
stance is marked by the face which is
broadest between the ears, with a
rounded chin, and that the mental type
is broadest across the top of the head
in the region above the eyes. But sup
pose you find a person who ia broad
above the eyes and between the ears,
and whose chin, instead Of being pointed
or square, Is rounded. And suppose
that in addition the bodily build of that
person tend to the round rather than
the square and big bonded. Well. you'll
find that such a person partakes of
the mental characteristics of both the
mental and the vital types, and is in
short, what might be termed mento'
vital type.
It's a mighty efficient equipment for
n business man to have. The vital type
has special advantages in the acquisition
of profits, as has been xplained in n
previous article. Add to this practical
prediction and Judgment the equip
ment Of high mentality, and you have
combination that is suited not only
for business, but for very big business
If it is developed properly.
