heavy sea was on at the time; in

le rolling and pitching' of the little

monies, pauses, seems to meditate; re
sumes Its course, rushes along the
ship from end to end like an arrow,
circles about, springs aside, evades,
rears, breaks, kills, exterminates." - '
The bomb was a regular sizea aepxn
charge, weighing hundreds of pounds,
and it would have been Impossible for
any- one to have lifteJ it and carried
it to safety even it one or the crew
had cared to take the risk of catching
it in its wild rushes and rollings about
the deck. So the officers and men
stood for a time' watching the charge
as it thrashed madly about, wonderi
ng what to do, and not knowing what
minute the infernal machine mignt
explode and send all hands flying into
eternity.
Suddenly some on cried: The pin
has co.ae out!"
Whether Mackenzie had been in
some other part of the ship until that
mdment, or whether he had been
standing with the others staring in
hopeless wonder and was only aroused
by the cry, reports do not say. But it
is recorded that less than a second
after the shout was raised the plucky
Yankee boatswain's mate dashed down
the deck and flung himself on the roll
ing ibomb, much after the fashion that
football players throw themselves on
the ball.
Three times he had his aims about
it, but eaclj time it tore away, once
almost crushing him as the roll of the
ship hudled it upon him. The fourth
time, however, he got a y,irm hold on
it, and with almost superhuman ef
fort heaved it upright on one flat ertd.
Then Mackenzie sat down on the
deadly charge though even in that
position the .bomb might have explod
ed and blow him to atoms- and suc
ceeded in holding it until lines could
be run to him and the charge lashed
safely to the deck.
The commanding officer of the Rem
lik in his report recommending that
the medal of honor he conferred on
Mackenzie, says:
"Mackenzie, in acting as he did, ex
posed his life and prevented a serious
accident to the ship, and probable
loss of the ship, and the entire crew.
Had the depth charge exploded on the
quarterdeck with the sea and the wind
that existed at the time there is no
doubt that the ship would have been
lost."
Mackenzie is a native of Massachu

MOCK TOMATO PIE.
"CONSERVATION' S" MODELS.
Mock tomato pie would make a nice
'.uncheon dish. Slice a good sized
onion and fry it in drippings until
brown. Take three or four large, ripe
tomatoes, peel and cut in thin slices.
Place a layer of onions in the bottom
of a pie dish, put in some salt and
pepper, then a layer of tomatoes with
a sprinkling of bread crumbs and dots
of- butter, uonunue unm me plate is j jes 0 artillery
almost lull.
Have ready some well-smashed and
well-seasoned potato and spread
.trust. Score across with a fork and
again across the opposite way and
bake brown.
Creole rice is another good lunch
eon dish. Place in a saucepan a
small chopped onion and a chopped j
seeded green pepper.. Add a table- j.
spoon of oleo and fry brown, stirring
all the time. Add halt a cup of un- j
cooked rice and boil all together five
minutes. Now add three peeled and j
chopped red tomatoes and 'a pint of
vegetable stock. Season cover the
pan and, as soon as it comes to a boil,
set in the oven for 35 minutes.
Among the "conservation" models
there are many practical coats, de
pending more on lines than trim
mings. In fact, few show trimming!
other than collar and cuffs, and thesi
are of fur. Here and there Ugh
weight coats in serge, tricotine and
suede cloth are ordered for south'
ern wear. These only show trim
mings, other than fur, in embroide
red and navy blu
floss and angora, inset with shot
beads. Many of these new coats
fasten at the side, with band of env
broidery from shoulder to hem. They
are left open from the belt down an
show light colored linings.
HELPS TO HOUSEWIVES.
One of the important things to
jinow in life is how to. let yourself
alone. The ability to relax, the art
of 'being Judiciously lazy, the tact to
let herself alone, ha3 saved many a
woman from a nervous breakdown.
We all know the housewife who nags
herself into such a state of conscien
tiousness that she cannot rest. If
he lies down she is citinually wor
rying herself with thoughtSof the
work she is neglecting.
Much of the blame for this state
of affairs lies at the doors of the
mothers. The mistake is in the train
ing of their children. They ae
taught from earliest infancy to bo
kind to others, to bear with them, to I
forgive them and to help them.

Mrs. Mary A. Darragh of 25 Cath

notice of the death of her son, Joseph
Darragh, at a II. S. Naval hospital,
which occurred October 21. Darragh
was a member of the Marine Corps
and was ill with pneumonia since
October 12. The letter informing
Mrs. Darragh .of her loss follows:
; It Is with deep regret that I must
inform you of the passing away of
your brave and patriotic son, Patrick
Joseph Darragh, mess attendant, 3rd
class, IT. S. N. R. F. He was a typi
cal American who was loved by all of
the officers and men associated with
him and everyone else who knew him.
He quite often mentioned his family
and friends.
He was admitted to this hospital
from the receiving ship at New York,
on October 12, 1918, with a diagnosis
of bronco pneumonia. He was im
mediately put under the treatment of
the best specialists for this condition
and every possible care and attention
at our command was tendered him in
an effort to combat this sickness.
With the best nursing and special
care, however, he failed to respond
and although for a time it appeared
that he would recover, he gradually
grew worse and passed away at 7:4o
a. m. on October 21, 1918.
Assuring you of my sympathy in
your bereavement which, I feel sure,
will be softened by the thought that
your gallant and loyal son gave his
life to his country while serving it in
the hour of its greatest need, I remain
Very sincerely yours,
G. A. Tun, Captain, M. C. U. S. Navy,
in Command.
Henrietta, eldest daughter of Sir
Henry Hobart, was born in 1688, and
was left an orphan at an early age.
She married Charles Howard, later
the Earl of Suffolk, who treated her
with great brutality. She later be
came a member of the household of
the Princess of Wales, and attracted
the admiration of the Prince, who
later became George II. of England.
When she left court after several
ears the daughters of George II. are
said to have lamented the fact that
thenceforward their mother would
have to spend so many hours in the
ompany of their stupid royal father.
Despite thee ircumstances surround
ing her presence at court Lady Suf
folk formed friendships with the lead
ing men of England of the time, and
she retained those friends after her i
retirement from court. In 1735, two
years after the death of the Earl of
Suffolk, she married the Hon. George
Berkeley, and was very happy in her
second marriage. She died in 1767.

Watching the stage heroine sweep
about in a long, clinging evening
gown usually gives the impression
that the lady is of great slenderness.
Therefore, slender persons often get
the impression that they also would
look beautiful and willowy by the
simple annexation of a tight, clinging
evening frock.
But the sad truth is that these
rather tight, clinging gowns can by
no means be worn with distinction by

four familiar walls. But, if she can
watch in the mirror all the people
pass upland down the street, she' will
have many an hour of interesting and
ample occupation for her mind and

appearing unattrac-
This is especially true of the even-.
ing frocks draped in, diagonal sweeps
so as figuratively to cut the figure
in two. This type of drapery is de
signed to draw the outside lines to- :
gether, so to speak. They are excel- ;
lent as illusion producers for the full
figure, for they create the appearance-i
of slenderness so much to he desired. !
But they unnecessarily cut into the
slender figure and make it seem flat i
and shapeless unless there's some de- I
cided contrast introduced 'by an over- j
lay of drapery either on the frock or
'by the use of long, heavily draped '
sleeves.
In the evening frock here shown i
there is a radical innovation which
affords splendid contrast to the tight- ,
clinging frock. The use of a huge !
lace cap introduces a wide, sweepfhg .
line, providing a sort of frame to set ,
off the slender curves of the gown it
self. The material used in this evening .
gown is white and silver brocade.'
But it is worn over a petticoaf of fine
iblack lace. This same 'black lace is
used for the left side of the bodice,
so that the ibodice is of two mate- "
rials black lace and white and sil- ;
ver brocade. "A huge Jet rose clasped
at tne left side supports the drapery
of the white and gold overskirt.
The cape is of black, lace and is I
caught across the shoulders with a '
string of Jet. It is full gathered, fall
ing into many graceful folds, and is!
weighted down at the bottoms with a ,'
deep edging of heavy black lace. :
To the naturally graceful woman 1
this cape offers many possibilities. ;
Permitted to hang in its own folds, it i
supplies the soft lines that add fulness '
to the figure even when gabbed in the :
most clinging of tight evening gowns.
But at the discretion of the wearer j
the cape can toe thrown into many j
graceful positions. ;
The lower endi may he thrown care-
lessly across the shoulder, or can 'be ;
held lightly against the sleeve. The
Frenchwoman's way of wearing an i
opera cape or wraD is to hold it in ;
some position so that there is an air
of careless, spontaneous 1 grace about j
the hang of the garment. This model ,
is Just the thing for such use.
