Linens and washable frocks will show the now lines. Coals on the Russian order will be especially gopd in homespuns and linens. There is a trend toward I he short, chic bolero, both for suite of serge and linen. Boleros of extremely ornate des'gn are also used in beaded lace of heavily embroidered motifs for dressy costumes. The washable eyelet frocks displayed in the shops are not fashioned in severe princess style.

They are one-piece frocks, but show considerable fullness above the waist line and In the sleeves and many also have apron draperies. On soma of these froc.B are smart girdles mado of soft Utterly satin in some of the pale shades. These girdles are quite wil1e and boned. Many women distinguished tor their smart dresses are having their shantung or silk frocks made now so as to be ready for the first hint of aprfllg. Paris Is favoring strong bright colors.

There will be much black and white worn with contrasting touches of warm rose or green. Changeable silks are growing in favor. This tendency is Indicated in some of the corded tussahs which show corda of contrasting rotors in the weave. Heavy shantung coats are excellent for motoring ar.i becomingly made with bood to mauu i.ed with scarlet or rose. Raspberry liaen will be as popular for outing costumes as linen was last season.

Short skirts are universally adopted. Plaits are q.iite fuut and are really necessary in a eiuuri. trotter skirt. The short skirt of the season has to be particularly well hung, for it is shorter than ever, showing the ankle quite plainly. 1 An extremely smart tailored cosiunio made by a leading designer for a Southern patron was of tobacco brown linen with long belted Russian blouse and clinging plailed skirt.

Schultze. AUNT JEAN'S DAILY TALK it is surprising to learn of the large number of boys who are interesteil in aeronautics. Several who have called and told me of their work have astonished me by their ability to make models of flying machines that really "fly." Of course when they started their experimenting, the possibility of managiug heavier-thau-air machines had not been realized. is only about two years ag that the Wright brothers succeeded in proving the merits of their Inventions. Since that time text books have been written, and boys may now acquire much useful and interesting information concerning their favorite study.

A poieut factor in the development of this work for boys is the Junior Aero Club of America, which has the distinction of being the fust boys club of the kind In the United Stales. When thin club was organized, almost all tho boy members ware kite flyers. Medals, cups and other tropjiios are given as prizes by Interested frleuds, and competition has become very keen unions these youthful aeronauts. Many of tho boys are experiment ing with the serious purpose or making aeronautics their life work. Most of them, however.

Just have a natural boyish liking for "tinkering." and enjoy the sport of their experiments. I would like to hear from more boys who are interested in making these models. The Eagle, with Its usual willingness to encourage gifted boys, will offer a trophy, provided a sunVlent number of boys indicnto their desire to compete and submit models. Boys may derive no end of roflt and amusement from model-making aud flying. 1 have heard of one boy who has disposed of his model at a good price, and another who has a regular contrnct to turn out one model a day.

Correspondent Replies to Eagle Article Asking "What Gets a Girl a Seat." To the Editor of the Brooklyn Facie In looking over the Woman's page of your Sunday publication, I happened to notice an article headed, "What Gets a Girl a Seat? A Query for Men Who Ride," and began reading It with some interest. When 1 got to the end it suddenly dawned on me to write an indirect reply with a headline something to Ibis effect: "What Doesn't Get a Girl or Woman a Seat?" and perhaps you will publish it for the perusal of some of our present day women who are so sadly deploring the lack of gallantry In the opposite sex.

I can almost hear "the smile" of satisfaction from the fellow who ha6 had "it handed to him" the Brae way 1 did, as he reads this: A few evenings ago I boarded a surface car at the coiner of avenue and street. A number people got on, among them a young lady who tooli her station directly in front, of me, whereon i Immediately arose and offered her the place I had occupied. She looked at mo a moment and snapped: "Oh. i can stand," wnereupon I returned the Insolent look and said, "Won't you please take that seat?" which left her no al ternative. I A similar incident occutred during the rush hours at Broadway and Thirty-fourth! street a few weeks previous, where an-elderly lady attempted to board a car after the conductor had given the signnl to start.

She was just hanging on by an eyelash when 1 saw her, and ran up to keep her from being badly hurt. She, turned on me with, "Let go of my arm. I I'm all right." And then they wonder why! And why not? When I got home delivered a long lecture to my better half on the car jump-, ing, strap-hanging question, and that wasj ouo way of getting even. R. GEUHARDT.

His eyes twinkled with cunning, as ho threw the bug-eye further off the wind, directing it now full against the approaching boat. The maneuver was all unexpected. The rowers vainly tried to swing their boat out of the wav. There were too late. Striking the small craft with its sharp bow, the bug-eye smashed It clean in two.

riding over the halves and submerging the occupants. The next moment the Brandt had swung into the wind, come about and headed down stream. The fleet of rowboats pauBed to rescue the struggling and half-drowned men from the icy water; the other bug-eyes, alarmed by Haley's signal, 'had turned and come up to meet the Brandt. The four vessels opened fire on the rowboat fleet, even as they were engaged in the work of resc ue. Uefeateil In their plan to cut off the single bug-eye.

(he rowboats put back to shore and the party scrambled Into hiding. Warned by this attempt, however, tins captains of the poaching fleet now resolved to make suro against any similar boarding parly. Taking a position In the river where the tire was hottest, ami the owners of the oyster beds seemed to be gathered In greatest numbers, judg-ing by the fire, tho bug-eyes drew close together. Bide by side; an anchor wns dropped from the oua farthest down stream. Captain Bill's vessel, and lashings were passed to hold them together.

This position, as the decks were flush, would allow the united crews of tho four to concentrate on any single deck to resist boarders. Hitherto, the dredges had escaped serious harm; but now a rifle bullet, landing landing in a numbor of men bundled on the second dredger, wounded two of thera and they fell tn the deck, uttering cries of pain. Another bullet ut the cheek of Sam Black, who had resumed the wheel of the Brandt; but he neid to his post, with bound about his head. The parly on shore gave no evidence of the injuries they may have received. That the attacking owners were being driven rrom their position by the eou-centratei fire from all four vessels was ipparent, however, Gradually the fire tVom shore grew less and less.

Tho Ircdgers. after discharging a few more volleys and waiting for a quarter of nn hour, without being tired ou, cast loose mee more and resumed their dredging. Hut they were nut suffered to work un-uolcsied for more than an hour At the nd of about that time. Ihe river bank vns illuminated again with line oi lashes, and the n-ark of rifles smote the air. But now the fight was even more uncertain and the tiring still more ntetter of chai'ce.

For the wind was drawing around to ihe southward and a fog was slowly drifting up the river, at first in deiaehed patches which blotted out the shore one moment, then left It partly cleared. The dredgers resumed their position, ushed together and at an. nor, so as uui to lose sight of one another in the fog, sn: directed their fire more by the sound of the enemy's firing than by sight. The weird, uncertain battle made a strange picture, with the streams of rifle fire penetrating the feg and the smoke of powder arising through ihe fog banks. And then, amid a momentary lull in the firing, there came suddenly out of the fog In the direction of down the river, the unmistakable Jingle of bell.

Miss Eleanor Robson, who is to appear at the Majestic Theater, to-night, in or new play. "The Dawn ot a To-morrow," is to be seen without a cap. Durintr all that period she was beset by a muliltui' of caps; Just plain ordinary lit tie laws affaiid, all starch and frills, aud maJe for servants. Her first cap role was taken wb she appeared in "Audrey." Then sh wa given tho role of Kate Hardeastle tn revival of "She Sloops to Conquer," in which she made believe that she -was barmaid in an English country inn. Then followed "Merely Ann," in which Miss Robson was seen as the "slavey" in a London lodging house.

Her rap in (hat was a plain little linen affair with a frill about the edge, and starched Bttft and prim and proper. Miss Robson was quite convinced she had done with caps by tha time this play was over, and thsn she revived a shock. Israel Zangwlll sent forward the MP. of "Nurse -r-joris" and it was discovered she wai play a nurse, and again tha esp beeama a necessary quantity. This cap was a badge of office, however, as well as a badge of servitude, ani Miss Robson took heart of grace and ba-gan to like it.

She felt she was sursly dona wiih it all by this time, but to har astonishment, when the new Presbrsy play was put on she discovered she was to play a chambermaid in "Susan la Search of a Husband," and once mora I he cap was important. Then came the cap in "Salomy Jane" to complete the series. Thus six caps in as many plays have graced Miss Robsou's head in six years. FISHING CLUB RECEPTION.

Cop-tain Bill's bug-eye, had already opened Are on the party ashore. A running fight uow ensued. The dredgers, emboldened by their numerical strength, had no thought of quitting the reefs. The attacking party, on the other hand, to be constantly recruited in numberc, and the Are from the rivsr bank grew In volume. The dredgers, with booms far out, kept barely under Bteerae-' way, following one another closely.

Coming up under the lee of a promontory of tho river bank called Ragged Point, the leading vessel headed into the wind; the sheets were hauled aft and the craft canre about, heading down stream once more, lo return Into better range of the enemy. The others followed, it? turn. An unexpected thlug happened, however, Just as the Brandt was swinging Into the wind, with Haley hauling on the main sheet, a glance bullet, whistling across Ihe stern, clipped' the sheet fairly in two: Haley, straining at the rope it parted, was sent sprawling ou the deck, rolling over and over. He sprang up in a great fury, but cquni to the emergency. Still holding the end of the sheet In onn hand, he darted to the stern, untied the painter the skiff that was lowing and drew the skiff alongside.

"Here you, youngster," he railed to Henry Burns, who happened to be nearest, "jump in ihcrel Take this sheet and make it fast around the end of that boom. Lively now!" Henry Burns obeyed, in lively fashion, as ordered. Making the ends of the rope fast to the thwart in front of him, he sculled the skiff a few strokes, seized hold of the swinging boom, loosed the sheet again, took a clove hitch around the boom fltid was back on deck in a twinkling. Haley growled an approval, as he hauled the boom aft and the bug-eye went off the wind a little to make headway so as to come about. The accident, however, had caused the vessels to separate for the time, th three other bug-eyes having alrendy gone down stream some little distance.

With this a new peril confronted the Brandt feeing the craft thus cut from its allies. the party ashore had resolved on a bold venture. A half dozen small boats suddenly darted out from the shadow of the bank, making straight for the Brandt, rowed by strong arms. The situation was one of danger to the Brontlt. The leading rowbonl.

Continued. The Battle of Nanticoke River. NOT long after, the order given by Haley for all hands to make ready laid that the business of the olgln was about to be begun in earnest. On the eastern bank of the river were extensive oyster beds, private property, carefully planted and nursed, and rich in their yield. Hamilton Haley, engaged in his favorli" pursuit of poaching, was in rare good hii-mor.

Moreover, he had caupe for self-congratulation in that he had regained h'a man, Sam Black, from Captain Hill's bus-eye, and yet another man, Captain Bill having taken on two men from Hooper Island. Soon the cry of the winch and the clank of the dredging chain broke the stillness of the niKht, as the Brandt, with sheets started, drifted slowly in a zig-zag course along the river bank. The other vessels worked likewise. There was no rest for anyone then. They worked like gl ley slaves under the whip.

Tho dredge was hardly clown before Ihe command came to wind. It came up heavy with I he Ill-gotten spoil from the beds. Henry Hums found no favor in the eyes of Huley this night. He toiled with the others, now turning wearily at the now helping to drag aboard the dredge, now sweating In the foul hold, stowing away the plunder. Some lime in the night, as be tttrned, with back and arms aching, at the handle of tho winder, a Btrange humming, singing sound filled his ears.

It was like na angry wasp darting about his head. Then a sharp report came from the neighboring hank. was followed by others. The sound is of wasps filled the air as a dozen bullets passed harmlessly over the beads of the crew of the Brandt. Haley gave a cry of surprise and ang'ir.

"They've found us," he said, and ran for ihe rahin. He reappenred quickly, carrying a rifle in either hand. "Here. you. Sam Black." he calljj.

"take wheel, smart now. Let those sheets run way off there no skulking into the forecastle, yon men. or you'll get a shct from me. here's a gun; you're a shot. Give 'em an answer.
