Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. | May 2, 1898.—Washington and the Nation rejoiced today over Admiral Dewey's great naval victory at Manila | Bay, the details of wirich are beginning | to come in over the cables from various | points. There is no longer any doubt | that the battle of yesterday resulted in ! the complete destruction of the Spanish fleet under Admiral Montejo. A Hongkong dispatch today say: “The bombardment of Manila has| begun. The inhabitants are fleeing to | the country. The gperators in the| cable station in the midst of the forts | have fled to save their lives.” | A later dispatch from Hongkong | says it has been announced at the cable office that the transmission of mes- |sages to or from Manila has been interrupted. The greatest interest was manifested in Washington today in the news from | the Manila battle at the embassies and |legations. It was said in diplomatic circles that the result would not hasten |any step in the direction of European intervention. ,The belief was expressed |that the effect on the government of | Spain would be most damaging. The Philippines wili be held until | the close of the war. It is too early to predict what disposition will then be made of them. In some quarters it was suggested today that they might be sold to some government that is | willing to pay a fair price for them. |It was authoritatively stated that no | European interference with the Presi- | dent’s plans as to the Philippine Islands |will be permitted. As soon as com- munication is established with Dewey specific instructions as to the conduct of the islands will be sent to him. A press.dispatch from London today says: “It is now admitted on all sides that the Spanish fleet has been com- pletely destroyed. The Daily Mail's correspondent at Madrid says that the Reina Maria Christina and the Castilla were totally burned and one vessel was purposely sunk and the rest of the fleet badly damaged. Another dis- patch to the Daily Mail from Madrid, | dated this morning (May 2) says, "The cabinet ministers admit that the naval battle at Cavite ended in utter rout, but they are resolved to spare no efforts in the defense of their country.’” Still another Madrid dispatch says that Admiral Montejo admits com- plete defeat. “Hector and me are looking for a new home—we're getting tired of be- ing treated like members of the family.” (Copyright, 1929.) s i On an average, each person in Lon- don takes 483 journeys yearly on a train, bus or tram.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. | The Nancy Page Club was almost ready to close its session. They still had some of the fittings of the early American home to study. Today they were interested in silver. | First they noted the exquisite texture of the old silver. This came from the fact that it was worked entirely by | such preparations. hand. The hand process kept in a certaln life of the silver which heavy rollers of modern u: take out. The spoons made before 1730 or thereabouts had the characteristic “rat tail” a| short distance down the back of the bowl, but this extended down further in later years, say 17 The crest of ini- tials were usually engraved on the back of the handle. The bowl of the spoon became less elliptical in the later years. Teaspoons were not of a standard size. Often they were small and of a pro# portion which allowed them to be laid across the tops of the small handleless cup as an indication that no more tea was desired. That used to be etiquette. Cream pitchers changed their shapes according to the contours of the other turnishings of the home. Just as the present angular age with its flat sur- faces and planes has brought in new sliver as well as furnishings, so that age with its swelling bulbous contour in decoration affected the silver. Some- times the cream pitchers were dainty three-legged affairs like the one shown. This dates back to about 1790. | Earlier in point of time when con- tours were more substantial we get & teapot similar to the one shown. This dates back to about 1700.

An old skin is usually a dry one, and the wrinkles often are due as much to this as to age. A good quality massage cream will feed the skin and keep it looking fresh. If in the process the wrinkles are smoothed out a bit, I am sure not even an old lady of 70 would mind. ‘The nourishing massage cream should also be used every night on the finger- nails.

A Reader.—At 24 years of age, the lines in your skin are temporary. and you can get rid of them easily.
