This, chiefly, is the toll of Brit +
ish, Allied and neutral shipping in
the battle of the Atlantic. but the
totals include Britains losses in the
Dunkerque withdrawal in MAY and
June. 1910 and the withdrawal from
Greece last month.
From the start of the war TO the
end of April, according to Admiralty
figures. British. Allied and neutral
ships lost 6,078.330 tons in all
The Admiralty arrived at this
figure by adding an unspecified
number of ships of 1T 286 tons lost
at Dunkerque to the regular list
of ,443 ships totalling 5,96l 044 tons
Broken down, the regular list shows
885 of the ships were British, total
ing 3810.541 tons. and 558 were Allied
and neutral vessels totallng 2,l50,

(American shipping men es-
timated early this year that, at
the rate of operations so far. it
would take Germany at least
another year to whittle Britain's
merchant fleet down to its pre-
war total of 2l,000,000 tons.
This was based on an estimate
of about 550O000 tons lost and
about 100000 tons acquired

higher closings are shown, as are
the ever-popular and classic one

Although there has been a great
deal Of talk about sloping shoulders,
those found in suits are inclined TO
be more rounded than sloping. Less
padding is being used, however, to
assist in obtaining this very fem

The silhouette in general is very

so on the wife's nerves as sulking.
Nor is there any other weapon with
which a man can so terrorize his
family as with grim silence. 1t is
the whip with which many a tyrant
holds the trembling wretches of his
household in order. He comes home
to dinner or down to breakfast with
a face as set and hard as a stone
image. Something has gone wrong.
He eats and drinks without speech,
refusing even to ask for what he
wants. He reads the paper with q
portentous durnbness that strikes a
cold chill to every heart. The
children hush their prattle. The
dog beats it for the cellar. The
atmosphere of the room goes down
to zero. Finally the wife musters
courage TO ask what is the matter.

Well stop here to say q few pun
gent words on perfume and the
art of choosing as well as applying
it.
First of all. perfume or cologne
Is to be rubbed on your skin, not
on your clothes. 1t is to be applied
subtly, so that ones friends are
gradually aware of it, rather than
being introduced to Susan by a
titanic wave Of fragrance. In other
words, this intangible sweetness is
not to be "a thing apart" Here's
8 way to be sure you get. the right
effect. When you are perfectly
clean, with soap and water fresh
ness, rub cologne on the inside Of
your elbows, your wrists and in the
creases where your arms become
your shoulders. During the day
these are the warm parts of your
body. Cologne will keep your fresh
ness and your body heat will warm
constant aura Of fragrance
around you. Rub a drop or two Of
cologne into your scalp after you
brush your hair and before you
comb 1t.
We suggest cologne rather than
perfume because you are less apt to
use too much and because cologne
is less expensive and can therefore
be used every day rather than on
occasions.
Again we are saying, in another
way, that taking pains Is part Of
good grooming, and that every day
you must look your best.
Perfume will spike an evening as
only q corsage can. Choose your
scent with you, your dress and your
beau In mind. Be sure your hair
smells of it and that a Whit fingers
around your throat like. q locket.
As for choosing your fragrance,
we'd suggest . shy variety. We are
q little bored with the girls who tell
us with q complacent smile that
they've always been faithful TO
