There are a certain class Of stars
which fly through space with a velocity
SO enormous as to battle every attempt
to account for them They are known
to the investigators as runaway stars
and are no longer recizoned as being
among the phenomena Of extreme rar-
itv. One of these III the constellation Of
the Great Bear known as "Groombridge.
1880, long led the van Of stellar speed,
sweeping over at least 200 miles Of
space each second. Professor Prichard
has proved that the inconspicuOus object
called CassiOpela is a sun 30 times more
luminous than our own, and that it is
travelling at the prodigious rate OF 300
miles per second. DR. Ell1ins has found
something more wonderful in the speed
line in Arcturus, which is Jogging
along at 400 miles a second as steady
pace, but having strange bursts Of speed.
during which time its velocity is in
creased by about one-fourth.
Some Of these runaways fly along in
pairs and are therefore supposed to be
connected by some invisible ''bond Of
union. " This presumption was first adj
vanced some 20 years ago and is even
now being investigated by the leaders
in astronomical work.

missing attitudes OF the dolls. There WGs
a lilac crepon tea gown in one window,
where the skirt, instead of hanging in
the natural soft folds of that material,
was stiff, and, though perhaps stylish,
very ungraceful. There was a pointed
yoke of white velvet embroidered IN
gold, with an occasional black thread to
give it depth. There was a frill of o
inch cream Spanish lace gathered 10 the
yoke all around, but shortened in the
front The skirt was gathered directly
to the yoke and fell IL unbrozen lines
to the bottom. In the front there were
two box plaits laid from top to bottom.

gown for it. If were a society woman,
I should have one made just like it and
give it to my enemy. But others found it
beautiful and that is why I mention It.
A Pretty Fancy.
The blouse is the vogue of ali for
wooden stuff and often, too, it is seen il
material Of a Trailer texture and in vel
vet. There is no denying that it is
pretty fancy and one likely to last lon
ger than the serpentine waists. A very
dressy and yet simple model was of tan
colored vicuua. The blouse was gather
ed TO a lace yoke, and this was bordered
with narrow line Of black Persian.
The pulled sleeves were draped up in a
very stylish manner. The forearm was
overland with lace, bordered with the
fur The skirt buttOned down the right
side with buttons covered with vicuna.
Around the waist Is a ruby velvet belt
with rcsette Of the same. The blouse
effect is Obtained by having the waist
gathered full and being two or three
inches longer than the lining This is
sometimes done all around the waist
aud other times it Is cut to slope IN
front only. 1t is a matter of taste how
it shall be done. The blouse front always
looks very we'll when an Eton or figaro
IS put on over it. 1t then resembles q

should be snugly fitted in every case
