So if you're going to London for
the coronation. to Paris for the
openings, to New York for a spring
tonic trip. or if you're merely
thinking ahead to your vacation.
make up your mind to get every
thing ready before you go, so that
your time won't be taken up after
you've arrived.
May in London
Coronation trips being the
thing of the moment, we've ad-
vised with several people who are
going. and who are travel-Wise,
and decided on a useful wardrobe
not too much and not too little.
AS you read of it, you will realize
that many clothes in your ward
robe right now will fit into such
a scheme. After all, good looking
clothes are at home in any part
of the world. Look to your tWeeds,
and spend your best money on
them. for they are not only the
backbone of your wardrobe, but
they will mark you as smart or
shoddy when you get to LONDON.
A tweed suit, or some sort OF a
tailored suit for travelling, with a
topcoat that goes with 1t mot
necessarily matching, is the basis
of YOUR daytime collection. With
it you can have either sweaters or
blouses. Sweaters pack best,
blouses look crisper and must be
laundered-take your choice.
For Swank Afternoons
In London, you will go to tea at
smart hotels, or for cocktails, ana
for such occasions. and for after
noon parties in case you know
people, take an afternoon dress
and afternoon coat, complete with
hat and accessories. You will be
wise to have a wooden dress, too,
as it is cool in London in May.
You may be able to make your
tailored accessories, plain hand
bag and shoes, do with these after
noon clothes, but it is rather hard
better have a change.
For evening, you should have
one dinner dress, or dress with
a jacket that can be called din
ner type, one light evening gown,
one dark evening gown Lace is
ideal. as it travels so well, and is
smart this year. Prints are good
too. but be sure your clothes are
not too conspicuous if you haven't
many. or you will become known
on the boat as the woman with
the red print"
Boat Activities
You'll need a bathing suit and
robe, preferably terry cloth or
something washable. There are
grand ensembles of tailored paja-
mas and house coat to match that
are ideal for travelling. You'll
need plenty of shoes, for feet do
get tired when you walk. at least
two pairs for deck and walking
about London. one pair of after
noon shoes that will go with all
costumes, one pair of evening
shoes that will go with all your
gowns, and a pair of rubber soled
shoes for deck games, if you're
the game type. You'll need simple
hats, brinmed felt for your suit
and coat, a turban or beret for
deck wear, and if soft turbans are
becoming, wear one with your
afternoon costume. 1t packs we'll

Beauty
Questions and
Answers
BY DONNA GRACE

Dear Donna Grace: 1 would
like to know what l could do for
too much high color in my face.
During the day red SplOtches will
appear across my face down to
my jaws. How can l remedy
this? Also, l would like to know
how to make my eyes appear blue.
They are rather pale.
DORIS"
You may be using something
that irritates your face. Some
skins react this way from an APP
plication of glycerine. Ice will
also cause red blotches on a SEN
sitive skin. Then there is the
diet, too. Rich, stimulating foods
may have this effect, but we be-
lieve it is more likely to be due
to some external irritant. Rinse
the skin we'll after washing, and
be sure your creams and aStrin-
gents are not irritating. Drink
plenty of water and have some
out of doors exercise every day.
A blue mascara and blue eye
shadow will make. the eyes look
blue.
Mrs. M. L. M.-You are too stout
for your height. and if you really
do without lunch and eat only two
apples for dinner, you are not eat
ing enough food to add weight,
SO you need more exercise or pos
Sibly medical treatment. You know
when we go on a restricted diet
for a few days we are likely to feel
we have been on regular diet,
but there is no point in dieting for
few days unless we keep it up
for at least 10 days or two weeks.
We will lose weight in that time
and also train the appetite to do
with less food, so it will not be
difficult to keep on a restricted
diet until the figure is again the
desired size. A course in one of
the reducing salons would be effec-
tive and is possibly the discipline
and control you need. Why not
send for the Today diet?

becue, htchenette methods OF
a bit commonplace.
At the outdoor barbecues, the
ranchers would roast a whole
steer, and in the South whole
Shoats would be used.
The great pit would be dug and
the fire started the night before
in the bottom of the pit with hick-
DRY or apple wood forming bed
of Goals. Over the top a meshed
wire would be stretched and the
we'll seasoned meat laid in place.
At intervals the barbecue sauce
would be swabbed over the meat.
This aroma of wood smoke and
spiced roasted meat would scent
the air for miles around.
Today the kitchenette version OF
the barbecue is much less elabor-
ate, but the pungent sauce is still
the thing that piques the palate.
Chicken is a favorite meat for
barbecuing. Young chickens split
in halves or quarters can be
placed in a rooster topped with
the barbecue sauce and baked
until tender or for about 2 hours.
The chickens must be basted with
the barbecue sauce at frequent in
tervalS.
SirIoin steak is also delicious
when prepared in this fashion.
In this barbecue sauce, chopped
mushrooms are added and enough
chopped red canned pimientos to
give color to the sauce.

Season with salt and pepper and
pour the sauce over the top. Bake

Two persons were dead and IA

Coast GuardSmen rescued IL

CAPITAL MILITARY
POPULAT|0NR|SES
Increase of Nearly Fl Pct.
IN 18 Months Shown by
: Army Figures.

The military population Of WASH
ington and its immediate vicinity has
increased by nearly 81 per cent
during q period of Is months, ac-
= cording to Army figures released
yesterday.
The total strength of the mil
itary forces in the immediate
vicinity of Washington. not including
Fort Meade, Md, has increased from
just little more than 1000 on June
80, 1885. to nearly 5000 as of
December 81 last, according to station
strength reports from the various
posts.
The strength of the Fort Meade
organization during the same period
has increased from q total of 80
officers and 1882 men to 81 officers
and 2,067 men.
Total Probably at 5000.
The midyear strength reports for
1885 show that at that time there
were 437 officers and 3,644 enlisted
men, or a total of 4,08l, in and near
Washington. At the end of last year
there were 554 officers and 1880
enlisted men, or a total Of 4,934. BY
now it is likely the total has reached
5000, as a result of minor increases
at several posts. including the arrival
of a new photo detachment at Boiling
Field
Largest of the local Army posts is
Fort Myer, Va. Its military popula-
ton has grown in 18 months from
So officers and 883 enlisted men to
Sc officers and 1883 enlisted men.
Second is Fort Belvoir, Va, home
Of the Army Engineer School. The
military population there has in
creased from So officers and TOO
enlisted men to n officers and ! 1,033
men.
The Army Medical Center, includ-
ing Walter Reed General Hospital.
has grown in officer strength but
little in enlisted personnel. Its strength
June 80, 1885, was 100 officers and
608 enlisted men. At the end Of the
past year it was 1872 officers and 6l3
enlisted men.
Boiling Field showed relatively
little change, increasing from 81 Of
ficers and 403 men to 20 officers and
463 men.
Fort Humphreys. d. c., including
the Army War College. increased it's
officer personnel from SO to 127, but
the enlisted strength increased only
slightly, from 278 to 291 The increase
in officer strength. however, was due
to the fact the War College was not
in session at the time Of the first re-
port.
Fort Washington, Md, Is the only
local post showing a decrease. Its Of
ficer personnel remained unchanged
at %, while the enlisted personnel de-
creased from 496 to 4S6 during the
year and a half.
In War Department offices and the
miscellaneous Federal and District Of
fees in Washington there were 104
officers and 267 enlisted men on June
30. 1885. The total grew to 1l8 Off
GERS last December 81. but the num-
Der Of enlisted men fell off to 236.
In its gain of more than 20 per cent,
the National Capital has outgrown
the rest Of the country in military
population. The authorized increase
In Army strength was from about
145,000 to $1,000, which will not be
reached until the end Of the fiscal
year next June. This will be a total
increase Of little more than 13 per
cent. The present total Army strength,
however, is said to be about $4,000,
making the proportionate gains here
to date even larger.
