IX BOXSEYE CONTEST
Washington Three jackles ashore
from the Italian cruiser Etruria laid
a course up Pennsylvania avenui' tho
other night and dropped anchor abaft
a public shooting gallery. Just then
three Jolly craft flying the Stars and
Strlpes hovo In view and bore down
from the northeast to speak the Ital
ian squadron.
"Ahoy, messmates!" spoke the
Yankee flagship. "Blast me turrets
If we don't challenge you to a round
'r two at target practice. Swing In
to the roadster and clear for action!"
The Italian skipper signaled full
sp.'d ahead and the two fleets steam
ed into the shooting gallery.
"The loser settles the salvage bill,"
conditioned the Yankee lads and the
Italians accepted.
"That's easy,' 'spoke out one of the
Ynnkeo fleet. "These Italians can't
shoot"
International courtesy gave the
challenged the first round.
When the first Italian gun captain
ceased firing he had knocked down
all tho little tin birds, cracked twelve
glass balls, rung the bullseye until the
bell was hoarse and had the boss of
th shop worried about his ammuni
tion hoists.
"Scuttled and foundered, shiver me
timbers!" roared the Yankee com
mander; "give me the range on that
swob who said these Italians couldn't
shoot."
Honor being satisfied, the two
squadrons dressed ship and laid a
course straightaway for the first port
of call.

Wave of Curious Mediaeval Modes Is
Approaching England.
London. A wave of curious me
diaeval fashions Is approaching Eng
land. Although It comes from Paris
the new styles owe their birth to
Russia, Italy during the sixteenth
century, and England In tho thirteenth
century.
The whole note will be barbaric
splendor. Wonderful Russian cos
tumes will be worn for a strong
Russian Influence will predominate.
This will chiefly be exemplified In
gorgeous Jeweled embroideries, com
bined with furs.
Sixteenth century Italian styles will
also be a delight to the eye. The
lines of this period are particularly
pleasing, and heavy regal embroider
ies in gold, copper and platinum will
be employed on these dresses.
Every dress, to be up to date, must
be partl-colored. Two at least, and
sometimes as many as six, colors will
be blended together.
The thirteenth century Tabard
gowns will also be popular, with cur
ious barbaric embroideries of wool.
