IB.- xiiu rieuuiij tendency toward . narrowing the shoulders, flattering , the bust and broadening the waist has ltl influence1 upon the silhouette here, but only In comparatively few cases, as the ma jority of the well-dressed women in this country have refused to adopt extreme models along that line. American dressmakers say there has been much -protest against the pinch-ed-ln shoulder line, and that in copy ing or altering French models they have usually been asked to devise gome way of widening the shoulders. A familiar way of achieving this narrow line without the ' awkward, narrowing of seams on the shoulder Js the cutting of shoulder and sleeve or sleeve cap in 'one so that the line Is unbroken, though there is no ex tending fulness at the shoulder point This compromise has resulted in a .h.modlfled version of . the Jap anese sleeve, the wldeness ' of the LmaneaA armhole being In most cases eliminated, the ' sleeve being made comparatively close, qui me uiiurumi Hno and slight drapery movement around the armhole being retained. The advent' of the short coat, the belted blouse, the girdled bodice and the more closely fitted costume coat will help to bring the silhouette back to better proportions. The very smartest of the late season costume coats in Paris are unquestionably shortened and in suits being made for the Riviera this tendency Is empha sized, as Is the blouse idea. 'Helttng or some emlpoyment of braiding giv Ini? much the same effect belting is also noticeable upon a considerable proportion of these costumes for the south, which, while only tentative guesses t the modes that spring will ,,! fnrth. rin show what the author itative French makers consider spring probabilities. . ' The bodice and skirt arrangements which are in the majority Just now, though usually the two are attached to each other under the girdle so that the frock is to all Intents and pur poses a one-piece affair, are much more enslly handled than the genu ine one-piece designs and the home dressmaker will be thankful for Jhelr return. Of course, there are ' still manv charmlnit rondels draped all In one piece, and ' tunic arrangements whlrh nrawnt a continuous line from bust to knees or lowers but , the girdled model la' in Its own way quite as modish and a large percentage of the latest models from the great French houses are of this type. There fore this easier arrangement may be resorted to without the feeling that It involves a departure from' the accept ed lines, j It is true that bnly an artist could successfully achieve many of the models from the famous makers In Paris, but on the other hand there has seldom been a time when smart ness could be achieved with less In spired ability on the part of the mak er, provided the woman ordering the frock has 'taste, a fine sense of color and a thorough understanding of the limitations of her figure. Among the models displayed by one of the fashionable shops is a Yrock of mousseline de sole turned out by one of the famous Parisian designers. The under robe is of the plain mousseline, the corsage and overskirt are of mous seline of the same color; sprinkled with little gold paillettes; but there are innumerable - sheer materials which might be use for the same model. A satin underrobe and over- Ltjress of mousseline or chiffon on any sheer sort stun: would work out well In this model; and for that matter the whole frock may be of the one sheer material without the paillettes on the overdress; or again the under robe may be of sheer white or color and theoverdress of the same sheer stuff, but in another color, producing a harmonious veiled color scheme. Suits of heavy corded silk aro rival Ing the ever-popular velvet costumes. These new and lovely creations are trimmed with fur. The coats are quite short. One of these silk cos tumes shown In one of the fashion able shops was of dull green. Its col lar and. cuffs being of Persian lamb. With it was carried an immenso muff of the same fur. This muff, by the way, Was long and very narrow. One rarely sees a blouse at present that is not the doublo one of chiffon and lace. The chiffon matches the skirt of the suit and continues the color almost as a one-piece dress. A new blouse model is of white moire silk 'trimmed with bands' of white satin. A touch of gold is given by the braid ornaments which fastens the bodice lit the side. - Evening wraps now must match the gown in color. They are of soft ma terials like chiffon or mousseline.

The two and three-cornered hats of Napoleon made their way llrst, and then fol lowed all manner of garments carry ing the insignia of battle, or least of standing armies. ' Soldier clothes are at their best In cloth, although the velvet costume has borrowed a gay trapping now and then. The court suit glitters -with gold frogs and-hrass buttons, and the onc-pieco frock has a ono-slded martial fastening. The fur coat has taken on regimental lines, and the military cape Is found In evening materials for tho opera and in cravenetted surface for stormy days. r.rass buttons abound, the louse leather belt ho nun low, suggesting n placo for the. saber; and gold fringe may bo found for the looking. The so-called Uussian blouse is borrowed from the CoBsack uniform, mid it is not straining a point to decorate It with strnps and buttons. Dinnerand opera gowns alone huve escaped this touch of tho soldiery, but Its predom inance at every point In the costum Ing of women-has mado up for that one omission.

No doubt you have noticed an ac count in the papers of the loss of one of our boats manned by five of the crew from our ship. Here are the details. You. know., how we are In the navy for boat racing; you re member how you uae to get out and pull and strain at your oar when we wore in the Kentucky's race-boat In the Philippine Islands. Wc.ll, times have not changed In the three short years that you have been out of. the service, and when It was decided to pull off the race that proved fatal to five of our shipmates we all picked j our boat and crowded forward in tho forecastle to give thorn a good wnd off. The weather ' was threatening with passing showers and miiialls, and' shortly after the boats left developed Into a nice little gale, when It waj seen that the boats would he In dag ger. We up anchor and started ' in pursuit with our searchlighta gotng, but failed to sight, thorn. We kept this Tip all that night and confirmed the search all of the next day. o'Q'ning back to Port Union. Costa Rica, aibout 7 p. m. to report to the senior officer in the Des Moines, then In company with the Eagle and the Tacoma again took up the search. The Des Ittolnes sent two parties ashore to search the beach, assisted by employes, of the United Fruit company. They (Parch ed the beach for 6f miles Nit It proved of no avail, in the mmuntirae two members of tho glg'a crew came aboard and reported her anil the crew safe on the beach. Well, that gave us a little encouragement, an we continued the scan, for the v.'hale boat's crew for seven days, when we had to go into port fur coal and pro visions. We came here to Cristobal, C. Z.. and have been here ever since, a lit,tle over a month now. Some na tives found tho whale boat, k.w up, with the sailing thwart ripped, out of her. They had- evidently kept still set until the last minute, when she was thrown on her beam end. 1?.ie gen Hal assumption is that she capsized the second night out and the five un fortunate one drowned like rats. She must have been a good ways out to sea, as she drifted some 200 miles, finally washing on the bean:h near Colon. It was- a sad affair, an un usual one In the navy. But such Is life on the sea. All of tho belongings of the five unfortunate ones, such as Img and hammock and their clothes, base been sealed, waiting to hear from their people as to what disposi tion shall be made of them. To end this I must add, the cap tain, officers ami crew did their ut most. Never have I with my 13 years' experience in- the navy seen such hard work, steal and . discipline among officers and crew. The cap tain (a shipmate of mine onUhe Iowa during the war), proved that he was equal and competent to cope with any emergency that might arise; not even during target practice have I ever seen a ship and crew handled more skillfully than the Marietta and crew yiere- bandied during the crisis which He have Just passed, and you know ' ifliat that la saying a good deal. ; Well, it anyone wants to knuw which boat A'on the race Just say that the gig won ; as per agreement this ship was the finishing point, and the gig's crew returned. The Lord only knows where the whaleboat's crew Is. - Well, at present we are coaling the ship. After wo have completed coaling we leave for Blueflelds, Nicaragua, a dis tance of about 800 miles. Will write from there." ' I '-'.a WALSH CRITICALLY ILL Ml. ih . lii w in l H WilCMJW)t?fe-iJtdij Washington, Jan. 17. Thomas F: Walsh, Colorado mining millionaire, is seriously 111 at his home in this city.
