March niles north-west Elbe, was a British essfon from 1870 amd until it eded to Germany in 1890, in or $¥cessions in East Africa. Immediately this island passed into the hands of Germany the Kaiser de- termined that it should be a great stronghold, behind which the German navy could hide carefully in defiance of the greatest sea gower of the world--the British. This island, one-fifth of a square mile in area, is triangular in shape, with two of its sides Hsing directly out of the sea to the height of 190 feet. To the south end of the island there is a stretch of sandy beach be- tween the rock of the Oberland, as the tableland ia termed, and the sea, which has for years been popular for its sea bathing. By 1911 the plans of the Kaiser practically were completed, Equip- ped with $10,000,000 worth of long- range guns, capable of sinking a hos- tile feet venturing within 15 miles the entire Oberland had been encased in an armor belt of steel, concrete and granite, providing protection not only from hostile cannon, but from the onslaughts of uke sea. Natural fissures in the rocky sides had been filled up by thousands of tons of con- crete, Buttresses 16 feet thick and 240 feet high were erected on ali Through cupolas and over the top of the island peered can non of all descriptions. Hiding be hind the armor belt were as many more guns mounted upon disappear ing carriages, Upon these carriages the ponderous weapons could be lift- ed above the armor by weights, fired and then forced by their recoil to drop back into the gun pits for re loading.

The most extensive mine field in the world was planted in the surrounding sea. Some of the mines were of the contact variety, sunk at varighs depths, while others were connected to var- fous trunk cables running to the island by copper and rubber coated wires. A score of British steam trawlers, captured through having come too. close to German cruisers or torpedo boats, were lined up off Unterland.

"~~ At the Quilting Bee What good times they had at the simple old-fashioned parties. The ladies gathered early to help their hostess sew; the gentlemen came later, and there was a little dancing and some delicious home-made refreshigents, which the gentlemen gallantly served with old-time courtliness, Ginger Punch was a great favorite at old-time. parties. It is a cooling, delightful drink, just as refreshing after dancing as it was in the days when Grandmother made it.

Aircraft arrived; two Zeppelins and a large fleet of Taubes were instali- ed on the island. The passage to the roadstead was protected by ten rows of contact mines, Fifty-one torpedo boats were placed just inside this barrier, and between them and the German high seas fleet was a flotilla of 242 torpedo boat destroyers.

The gown itself was entirely without trimming and it had one of those very popular and beauti- ful neck lines reaching in au straight line from shoulder to shoulder. This enabled the chain to show against the whiteness of skin for a space, and then to appear shining against the shiny blackness of the satin.

WAR PUZZLES to the wharves that were built. nding of the sea for miles around in every direction was taken, and a military cable between the island and Cuxhaven was laid on the floor Of the sea. A tall wireless tower of power sufficient to communicate with German war vessels in the North Sea, the Baltic and the At- lantic was erectéd, and all manner of latest mobilizations and naval practice was indulged in. The day war was declared two ships loaded with provisions arrived at Heligoland and 'were stored away. The store rooms then contained suffi- cient to feed and provide for the gar- vison during a siege of two © years, should one ever be conducted against "A Good Cigar Is a Smoke." Some horrid man smoked a cigar not long ago in the room where Mrs. Minnie Grinstead was dining, little suspecting she would have her re- venge in a way given to few women. He did not know, of course, that she was the first woman legislator in the State of Kansas. Mrs. Grinstead promptly intro- duced a bill prohibiting smoking in public dining-rooms. Her masculine colleagues passed the bill--but not until. an artful masculine colleague HERE the island. The ships that brought the provisions had aboard them when they returned to' the mainland of Germany every resident of the island. had tacked on an amendment which provided that "smoking in public places shall be unlawful except where cigars, merchandise and stocks of This Winter, Velvet to Figure Prominently, White Is to have a vogue this winter. merchandise are kept for sale." Mrs. Grinstead, unused to . legislative tactics, voted for the joker, and now discovers there are few lunchrooms which od boast a stock of mer- chandise consisting at least of a pack- age of gam, Women legislators are going to have a hard time taking tobacco away from smoking lawmakers. Men may vote for prohiliitive measures, but are prone to tack on amendments Prohibiting the use of face powder, cosmetics and lipsticks. As Kipling discovered some years ago, "Woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke." ------------ Long white coats are very smart in- deed. So much is white to be In evi- dence this season that smart milliners are bringing out many hats of white velvet, or at least showing some trim- ming of this sort introduced here and there. After one has left youth far behind white needs most skillful treat- ment to be worn becomingly. It is al- ways best to subdue it wherever pos- sible with some beading or overdrap- ing of latticed effect, Nothing could be prettier than the new dinner gowns of white velvet, They are unrelieved by any sort of or nament. Now that well-dressed wom- en do not wear jewelry of any sort, there Is not even a gleaming diamond permitted to be worn with these dead white frocks. No sleeves, no corsage decorations and no sashes appear. One can readily see that only the freshness of youth and the most pronounced beauty cau successfully curry off a white velvet frock. They may be summed up In the brief verdict: Beau tiful--at least to behold.

From every point of the ishand the wide sweep of the sea was visible. Not a single obstruction nor a single menace to the underground storeliouses and magazines remained; a hundred shells might be exploded simultaneously on the island and not a fire would be started.
