Fairy Tale
HAPPY MISS SPRING
@WAARY GRAHAM aBONNER

Mistress S~pringtime was as happy
as happy could be-" said Daddy.
"Ah, I feel so pleasantly she said.
The dear Breeze Brothers are whis-
pering such sweet secrets to me. They
are telling me they are SO glad to see
me. That makes my heart rejoice. I
like to be wanted and to be made so
welcome.
"'You know 1 am always happy. /
do not worry and weep and feel sad.
I an bright over each little flower
that Is going to bloom next. l I'M not
sad over the one that has dropped its
petals and which is through blooming.
"'But l am happy with the next
one that is to come out. And that Is
the way with all of our family. 1t is
the way dear Mother Nature has
taught us to be. That is why we make
room so willingly for each other.
"'Now 1 shall make way for Lady
Summer and Lady Summer will make
way for Prince Autumn and Prince
Autumn will make way for Old Man
Winter.
1--WE will not be sorry we have to
go, for we will know that so much is
going to follow and that We will be
here again when it comes time for our
season.
"tAh, yes, Mother Nature has taught
US not to be sad. She has such a won
derfu. disposition that we are always
happy too.
"'She tells her to be happy with
each new thing that happens, each
new little bud that opens up it's sweet
face to greet the world.
"Isn't it wonderful not to feel sad
over what has happened but to be
happy over what is going to happen
next? Every n cannot be like that.
"sWe are Mother Natures children
and so have special permissions grant
ed to us.
"tAh, l love my time of the year.

frOck of last season a real success,
1t has the straight line. 1t has the
coat dress opening. 1t has the en-
broidery. And 1t has the short sleeves.
But, how differently all of these fine
points are arranged. The embroidery
Is distributed in quite a unique way.
The sleeves, while they are short, are
still very much more loosely fitted
than were those in the old days. The
waistline is long and the belt is but
loosely attached and fitted. Then, too,
the lines of both the skirt and waist
r ample and full and left to 60 their
own sweet way rather than being held
tight enough to outline the figure In
any radical way.
The fact is that this dress is an ex-
cellent example Of the serge dress that
Is popular and good in style just now.
There are many Of them to be seer
no matter where you turn your head,
but the best of them have the long
lines that are characteristic of this
model and always they are as simple
as can be in all of their expression.
Now the coats which are chosen to
wear with these dresses are perhaps
just as interesting as the dresses them
selves, for no matter what may be the
general character Of the coat this sea- |
son, it still must have about it enough |
Of lOoseness and foppiness to place 1t |
in the picture class. And when it is
used to cover a frock which in itself is
already picturesque, her the combina-
ton cannot well help but be charming.
Capes in Great Number.
Of capes there are many, and even
more than that, to be seer upon the

Measuring ocean Depths.

The Navy department has been
working on a device for measuring
ocean depths by mean of reflected
sound waves, but as yet has not per-
fected it to a point where it wishes
to give out information regarding 1t.
A recent device Of similar nature has
been developed, by means of which
depth measurements. accurate to
within one foot, can be made even
when the ship is moving at full speed.

On Broadway their skirts are short
way to the knees, writes a fashion
correspondent In the New York Times.
The college girls around Columbia
wear theirs, too, at this high stopping
place. But, take a walk on Fifth
avenue any Of these afternoons, and
you will not fall to see the skirts de-
scending and descending. And, when
you do see the newer and the smarter
things as they are actually worn then
you are forced to confess that you
like them.
Their smartness lies not alone In he
fact that they are distinctly new, but
they shine because they are so beauti-
fully proportional and designed. 1t Is
not only that the skirts have descend
ed, but the waistlines have done the
same thing In a totally harmonious
fashion, and the sleeves are just as
long in proportion, SO that the smart
woman's figure becomes something
with a new appearance rather than Of
any heightened appearance. In other
words, before you know it, your skirts
will be long, too, and you will hardly
know the difference.
A certain comfort lies in these newer
and more formal clothes in that they
are notably suited to the more mature
figure. The girlish stuff of the last few
seasons looked all right on some Of the
older women, but if we are honest on
the subject it did not superlatively
become all of them. And the scant
straightness Of the gowns that are
passing into fashions discard had
many unfiattering ways with them
when they adorned the lines that were
more plump.
Now these newer frocks with all
their fullness and draping and pleat-
ing offer many little subtle tricks by
which a figure hat is more than or
dinarily large or Of %unlovely proper
may be SO softly obliterated that
the dress walks right into the class
with the leaders of fashion. Really
newer dresses are more artistic
than were their predecessors.
They have kept the best from the
older styles and have added new points
that make them absolutely fascinating.

BIC NAVY MEN GIVE
SURPRISE TO FOES
Decide in House to Refrain
From Asking Increased
Engineering Funds.

Those House members who put
through the other day an amendment
to the naval bill increasing the en-
listed personnel from $1,000 to $4,000
decided at the last moment today not
to offer amendments increasing ap-
preparations for the bureau of en-
gineering, ordnance and construction
and repairs.
There was no interruption as the
engineering section was reached. and
by this course the big navy men took
the appropriation committee by Str
prise.
It was reported that the plan
agreed upon was to let the bill run
its course as written in the House.
and then attempt to obtain larger ap-
propriations in the Senate.
The various items appropriated for
the bureau of construction and repair
were approved without word of de-
bate. Chairman Kelley had announc-
ed that if any amendments increasing
the amounts allotted were adopted he
would demand a record vote on each
in the House proper.
