scores of torpedo boat destroyers
swarmed about.
Rescue Work Feverish.
The Navy rescue parties worked
feverishly to get the passengers off.
Capt. Charles Il. Riggs, commanding
officer at the hospital, had summoned
every available Navy physician as
we'll as priests and ministers from the
naval vessels in the harbor.
Inside the hospital two wards were
prepared to receive the victims. So
swift did they come that many were
placed on the floors outside as every
member of the base Medical Corps as
well as the naval nurses worked with
feverish haste.
The majority of those who died at
the Naval Hospital were in such
shape, physicians said, that they could
only try to make their last moments
as painless as was medically possible.
Amid the moaning and screaming
victims walked clergymen of all de-
nominations giving spiritual aid.
The Mackinac left Pawtucket yes
terday morning for Newport. The de-
parture was delayed almost an hour
while steam filters of the company
placed a patch on the boiler. The ex-
curSionists arrived at Newport short

their rush to safety. Boats were low

Capt. McVey said that soon the pilot

the disaster from shore described 1t

depends upon concord among the
western powers"
Going in this spirit, he said, he
hoped to return completely success

The finance minister's talk was very
brief. He made no reference to the
funding of Belgiums debt to the
United States. although it is known
that he has been postponing compile

Satisfaction over the Belgian settle

from him to Mr.. Martin, who sat at
her right, he seemed impatient until

ton of his hostess. when his look Of
impatience changed to one Of eager
| interest.
y; the other end of the table Dean
stole glance at Fay from time 10
time. 1t seemed TO him as he looked
at his wife, that he had not married
one woman, but several. Was there
another woman in the world who
/ could so run the gamut of emotion
as Fay could? Was there any one
else who could at one moment be
brightly challenging, playing upon
him with a hundred subtle, feminine
wiles, and the next instant capitulate
into a creature of clinging tenderness
and sweet abandon? There We're
times when he wondered where she
had learned it all. Had her short
week of playing the role of fascinating
woman of the world given her this
poise, or had it been buried in her all
the time, needing only experience to
bring it to the surface?
Dean had been married to Fay six
months and she was still creature of
beWilderinS contrasts to him. There
had been times alone with him when
she had seemed like a little girl, but
there had been other times when she
had been as she was now, brilliantly
fascinating, we'll poised, entirely self
assured. What wife she was, Ever
since they had opened the house at
Shadow Valley they had had a house
full of guests, and Fay was in her ele-
ment entertaining. But this year
there had been no dinner parties for
any Of the guests at Poppy Inn.
and if any of the old crowd We're
spending the Summer there neither
Dean nor Fay knew anything about 1t,
nor did they care.
Fay gave the signal to rise, and as
she did so her glance met Deans
across the table. 1t was only when he
could force her to meet his gaze di-
rectly that he could reach the Fay he
! loved the best, and as he looked at her
now he saw eXultantly wave of hot
color rush up into her face.
He turned away, content. To their
friends Fay Hampton was the best
dressed woman in their set the most
fascinating hostess and the most
eagerly sought after guest. Any
house party that included Fay was
sure to be a success, and under her in
f1uence the most stupid persons could
appear tolerable.
But to her husband there were times
like tonight. when she seemed like u
little girl playing at life, when all her
brilliance seemed but pretty airs and
EraceS assumed for the occasion. He
knew that he had but to take her i'll
his arms and bend his lips to hers, and
he would find the real Fay, the simple,
unaffected little girl who trembled be-
meath the fire of his kisses, and who.
out of a whole world of men, loved
only him.

or two or three gay little feathers.
Larger styles of black hats are
bit more difficult to wear. For years
I've longed to own one Of those big
droopy kind and every time I've set
out and determined to get one my mil
liner has talked ME out Of 1t. She
says this sort of hat goes best with
lovely afternoon dresses, and on
blondes, that aren't at all my type.
And 1 suppose she is right, for l
work here in my studio all afternoon,
and if do manage to get to a tea, it's
always late, and so I go in some kind
Of a business dress. So what did buy
was a smallish black velvet with a
brown velvet bow at the back-and
must say it does credit to the lady
who designed it.
Besides being SO generally becoming,
black hats are always smart and never
go out of style. and-what is most i'm
portant-you don't get tired of them.
SO. if you can only have one hat this
season, by all means have it black,
preferably black velvet.

is amazed that you could hold such
an erroneous impression.
Certainly, fewer and fewer women
are dressing for dinner" says this
woman emphatically. It's been so
different since the war-since it was
so hard for most people to have good
servants. Why. there's Mrs. Jones'
she would have felt quite disgraced
when she was young ever to have ap-
peared at dinner in a daytime frock.
1t was a tradition in the Jones family.
A Jones husband would have felt that
he had almost insulted his wife and
to have come to the dinner
table In his business suit. And now
it isn't that the Joneses are actually
any worse off-only they are less
formal. More than half the time they
don't change at all for dinner"
On the other hand, of course, there
are hundreds and hundreds of young
girls in every town who like to dance
in the evening. The young men who
take them out probably never think Of
wearing evening clothes. but the girls
have acquired the habit Of wearing
little dance frocks and they wear these
evening frocks with the nonchalance
and SAVIOR faire that was once posses
sed only by women of social distinc-
the young working girl changed into
a freshly ironed lingerie shirtwaist or
maybe wore a "peek-a boo" bead
trimmed chiffon waist with her we'll
pressed blue serge suit, and felt all
dressed up when her young man came
to take her out Of an evening.
Some women find much comfort
nowadays in the type Of frock that is
called a dinner frock. To be sure
there are very elaborate dinner frocks
but then there are those simpler
diner frocks that are as easy to wear
as any daytime frock-perhaps even
easier. Why. a woman could even
drive her own car wearing one of
these simple little dinner frocks.
Usually they are not very low-necked
sometimes even they have long
sleeves. Oftener, however. the alb
sence of sleeves distinguishes them
from an afternoon frock. The sketch
shows little frock Of this description
1t was made of crepe satin in one of
the new wine shades, with metal en-
broidery girdle and a gold chrysanthe-
mum on the shoulder.
