aerial Journey referred to had for its prin-
cipal object the benefit of Partisan poor.
The famous Capazza parachute was some
time ago given Its first trial In Paris and
was found to work admirably. Then an
other ascension was made with it in Brus-
sells. with equally satisfactory results.
Nine. Du Cast read OF these events and
was struck with the idea that IL she were
to make an ascension with the aeronaut in
the French capital the public might be
induced to pay well for the privilege
of seeing her start n the periious journey.
Signor Capazza. Of course, jumped at the
suggestion, at the same time assuring
madam that there wasabsoiutely y nodanger.
Accordingly public announcement asmade

At the hour appointed at least 10000
people had assembled. Madam took her
place in the basket. Capazza stepped in
next, and in few moments the balloon,
released from its moorings. shot up, amid
the frantic plaudits OF delighted thousands.
a height of 1000 feet was reached. Then
the aeronaut allowed the gas to escape.
The parachute opened a the same time,
and the voyagcrs slowly descended, ex-
periencing hardly jar on reaching the
earth again.
Capazza is enthusiastic over the coolness
displayed by his fair passenger. who has
expressed herself as being ready to mako
any number OF ascensions with the same OBJ

one stick with each end resting on the
seat of the chair and the other resting on

There is great square collar of open
worked deep cream batiste. with lining IF
coral silk. From under this collar come four
wide plaits of the silk-lided batiste, two at
the front and two at the back. They come
down a little below the bodice and flare
little, showing the lining of the coral
silk that is quite effective. A narrow belt
TO be worn with this costume is of co raj
suede, with silver clasps studded with
coral.
At each side OF the standing collar the
batiste and silk are plated in fine plaits that
form two-inch ruffles that stand strait out
forfourinch ches just bove the shoulder seams.
Batiste will be the most popular material
used to trim the spring gowns. A bit of
mandarin velvet gives pretty color note
to somber browns that will be favored

look well combined with this new mandarin
tint.

Limb for Leg.

In spite of the ridicule which the squeam-
ishness of persons who insist on using the
word limb when they mean leg has drawn
upon them, there are many persons today
who are shocked at the thought OF q
woman having a leg, particularly If she
happens to be an exceptionally modest
and charming woman. A limb is anything
which Is separated from another thing,
and yet Joined TO It. The limbs of the
human body are the arms and legs

Miss studholme,s criticism.

To Marie studholnle, the English actress,
the most striking thing about American
women was that they hated walking. Where
an English woman, she said, would take
delight In walking miles, the weary Phila-
delphian would stand upright in crowded
cable car rather than walk two short blocks
Notwithstanding this popularity, Miss Stud
holme admires American women immensely.

half the Ills She Meets in Life Duo
to This Cause-Society Notes
and Gossip.

II always ask my feminine patients
said a well-known physician the other day,
what they are in the habit OF eating for
luncheon. And 1 am convinced that half the
ills the average, midd!e-cIass woman is heir
to are the result OF idiotic monday meals"
According to the doctor. the favurlte
midday menu of the woman who lunches
at home is tea, made whenever the cook
has seen fit to make it and stepped until it
is a powerful infusion of taDnic acid; some
bread, cold meat from The dinner OF the
preceding day and cake.
This bill of fare is a favorite one, because
it offers very little interruption to the
kitchen work. The cook approves Of 1t for
her mistress, and that Is enough.
According to the same authority, lunch
con should be carefully selected and pre-
uared If tea Is used The mistress should
know that it is perfectly fresh and made
of freshly boiled water. AT least one hot
dish should form part OF the menu. 1t
should not be a heavy one, but it should be
uourshing. Omelettes, poached eggs. nash
ed meats on toast, croquettes or the like
should be served.
A green salad or relish should be on
the table, and fruit, either cooked or
raw, should be eaten. Toa st is more paI-
atable than cold bread and should there
fore be used. Cake is an unnecessary lux
ury, a sufficient amount OF sugar being
to ken in the healthier form of fruit.
Such a MONDAY diet as this is appctiz!ng,
lourishing and digestible-a trinity OF
virtues absolutely hacking in the ordinary
household luncheon menu.

is tho sun lEurning Tn?

Thousands Of curious and ingenious
theories have been advanced to account
for the effect that the sun, although he
has whirled his burning disk across the
heavens for untold ages, continues to
burn without being consumed or his
bulk being lCssened i'll the least. Some
of our most learned astronomers believe,
or pretend to believe, that the great orb
is ball Of gas but even great globe
of gas would be consumed to its utmost
atom III the course of few thousand
years. Others say that fires are kept up
by the burning of the remains of wrecked
worlds which are constantly falling in
to its mysterious, burning depths. But
even this seems far from probable, and
those who take an opposite view declare
that 1t is Il monstrously absurd conclu-
sion. In summing up his opinion ON the
last conclusion one of the most eminent
astronomers of the day has figured that
II mountain range consisting of 176
cubic miles could fall into the sun and
yet not furnish fuel enough to keep up
the present rate of heat for single sec
