for trimming. Such requirements
have been met most delightfully
in this 'evening: gown of coral-

bodice of silver -cloth, silver rib

waist-line ornament and a cascade
of silver lac that balances the
mora intricate draping of tha velvet.
The long lines of this model

JAPAN SCRAPPING
GREAT WARSHIPS
Tokio, Nov. 6. (By Associated
Press.) Four great sea fighters
of Japan's imperial navy, marked
for the scrap heap by the arms

out, according to official an
nouncement. The ships are the
Kasmlha, Katori, Okoma and
Kurama.

capital ships included in the roster
to be set aside will be Placed on
the forced reserve list.

Japan is at work making the terms
of the Washington agreement ef
fective. The naval base at Port
Arthur will pass into history in
December and as a result 700 offi
cers will be retired and 15,000
men dismissed, owing to the fact
that retiring allowances were not
included in this year's appropria
tions.

comment and are considered at

best in the United States. In ad
dition to the trade schools ashore,
schools are maintained on board
ship offering courses in eleven
different technical lines and in
struction in nineteen general sub
jects. The present course ot in
struction is largely the selection

Rumania, at the ancient capital, Albajulia. The rich robes, made in Paris, represent the last word in the
modiste and jewelers' art. The royal sceptre of the King was fashioned by Falize, famous French artist, as
a lighter model of the unwieldly one that reposes in the royal Rumanian vaults. Queen Marie's crown was
manufactured by the same goldsmith of Transylvanian gold and rich turquoise, amethysts and moonstones.
It contains many ancient relics and symbols, the ornaments hanging f rom the chains representing wheat,
symbolic of Rumania's chief product.
