BRITAIN'S FUTURE ON THE SEA.

NAVAL DISAIMANENT MÁY BE OVERDONE.

London, Feb. 9. The First Lord of the Admiralty, Mr. Alexander, in a speech at Newcastle, discussed Britain's at- 'titude to the naval work of the

future.

"We pleaded for disarmament,” he said. "I think you can go ton quickly in this matter unless you

to go just as quickly. You find a steady decline in our naval expen- diture and a steady rise in almost every other country, and you begin to ask whether it is a sane polley." He did not want any peace-lover to think he did not favour further disarmament, but it was a mis- take to go an with a policy which meant constant fluctuation. He advocated the stabilisation of naval relations between one coun- | try and another.-British Wireless.

Striking catour-harmonies are pro- sent in the mode. The idon of com- hining three colours in a single costume is growing Tho; tricolor combination of red, blue, and white in still pleasing.

All these colours have the virtue of combining well with each othur. so that any group of women droseed in the enlours of the new senson will prenent a beautiful colour-harmony. and no woman's dress will "kill" the next woman's dress.

A Useful Frock.

Stone-grey silk marocain is the fabric suggested for this useful dress, which illustrates the new horizontal tucked line from shoulders to hip with a belt at the natural waist. The single flounce on the skirt, fall- ing in a cascade down one side, is another interesting feature.
