An interesting scientific experiment
was made recently in Paris with the
AID of a balloon. which was sent up
from Villette ut 1890. The object of
the experiment was to collect n quan-
ti1y of the atmosphere at a very great
altitude for purposes of analysis. The
balloon was, therefore. SEN up alone
With the necessary Instruments at
tacled to it. These consisted of an ell
tirely new kind of reservoir, capable of
holding six litres of air. To this wa
attached a spiral arrangement termin-
:.tins in II tap Theoretically sealed. but
so arranged with a clockwork appar-
atrs that it would open just one hour
after the ascent and close again one
minute later. A good deal of ingenuity
mad been displayed in this invention.
In order to preserve the reservoir from
the intense cold Of the upper regions,
1T was surrounded by a bath of soda
water. which was expected to keep the
apparatus Mt an ven temperature. In
addition the balloon also carried two
taro-thermograplls for registration
purposes at high attitudes. Attached to
! the balloon are instructions to those
who may find it, so that it may be care
fully wrapped up and forwarded to
Haris forthwith.

and front. A yoke was simulated in
back by a wide band of jet passemen-
terie, whose ends came down either
side Of the front and kept the box
pleats fiat to a little below the bust
line, from whence they sprung out.
The tabs Of the fur collarette ended in
tails. and an edging of the fur appear
ed at the wrists.
An ermine muff accompanied this
c%ollarette, and, of course. was entirely
harmonious, but for weather that is
not severe such a jacket will be rich
enough without the addition of all
fur accessories. When a muff is to
be carried, nothing else than ermine
would do. 1t is now plain that great,
bulky muffs of velvet, lace and fur
are again to be carried this winter. It's
a good way, perhaps, to put odds and
ends of these materials to stylish use.
but unless such an affair is we'll put
together, it makes the woman that
carries 1t look as If she had been buy
ing remnants at Bargain and Com
pany's and her bundle had come I'M
tied. They should be slung from the
neck by a narrow ribbon or from an
old-fashioned. long watch chain, and
they are suitable only as an added
elaboration to an already highly
wrought costume. A few muffs of fur
and lace + shown to go with any
costume or coat. but as a rule the mutfs
are made of material to match the
dress or coat. There is nothing new
in the regular fur muff and both very
large and very small ones are shown.
Some few have wrist frills set about
the opening Of velvet or of fur, con-
trasting with the muff itself.
Just as for several seasons it has been
tasteful to mix fur, lace and feathers
in trimmings. so 1t has become correct

CORA. The sleeves were white satin
twisted with white mousseline de sole,
and the epaulettes We're cloth with an
CORA edging. Rose pink quilted satin
lined this gown, which, when it's pur-
pose was considered, showed how pure
ly ornamental fur is in some Of its
fashionable uses.
While there are worn to-day no more
tailor-made gowns than there were q
year ago, the simple costumes that
verge upon tailor severity-this without
taking into the reckoning the so-called
trimmed tailor-mades-are in much
greater abundance. Street dresses gen
orally have settled down into n charm-
ing simplicity, and last years over-elab-
orateness Oh the part of some of the
%promenaders Is rarely reproduced. For
dresses of this sort a favorite method
OF trimming is that presented in the
next picture, and, in general, consists
of outlining the edges of the costume
with narrow lines that contrast with
the dress goods. In the pictured ex-
ample the material was iris purple
cloth, and the trimming was black vel
vet In narrow stripes. If it were desir-
ed to have this dress somewhat strik-
ing, it could be done by making bre-
telles, collar. plastron, belt and points
on skirt of white cloth, using black vel
vet as before.
What is about the tasteful limit Of
elaboration for a promenade dress is
depicted by this fourth picture. Start
ing in comparative plainness for the
skirt, the bodice was quite highly
wrought. A grayish cheviot was the
material. Two rows of stitching show
ed on the skirt neal the bottom, and
three rows of shirring came ut the hips.

he bodice hooked Mt the side and it's
ront was decorated with three bands

The bodice hooked at the side and its
front was decorated with three bands
Of linen embroidery, the back remain
ing plain above the wide corselet belt,
which was deep green velvet. Large
revers of the linen were put on separate
jacket fronts, the latter ending in long
sharp points decorated with small but
tons. Ruf1es were put on the sleeves
ut the base of the puffs.
After what has just been written
about the prevalence of simplicity in
street costumes, the putting forward as
fashionable examples of the two
dresses shown by the fifth illustration
may inconsistent. But the cos
tunes pictured in these articles may be
relied on rs newly stylish, the right
hand one Of these last two being no
nearer to fancifulnees than the one just
described, while Its mate in. the picture
is severely plain except for an interest
ing trick. 1t was sketched in steel gray
cancels hair, both skirt and bodice
showing tailor-llke strap finish, a tiny
showing of black velvet being put be-
low the neck. Velvet also lined the
eON 49,
high collar. The rest was nothing more
nor less than a long scarf of embroider-
ed crepe de chine which was merely
tackled at shoulders and sides. Embroi-
dered chiffon or any desired lace could
be used here, IL desired, the point of in
terest being that the dress can be worn
without this trimming and made to pass
n. n tailor gown. Besides II ia one of
the new princess models that are now
in so much favor. Made Of aluminium
colored cashmere and closing. at the
side, both ekirt and body parts had
panels Of black and white striped satin.
Tiny sleeve caps and wired collar were
also Of the striped stun. Steel buttons
were put in front between panels Of
skirt and bodice.

n beautiful young widow. No restriction
was placed upon her; there was no forfeit
ure of money if she married again. The
only thing she could not do was to part
with property belonging in way to house
or estate. She could not sell a picture OF
a tree: everything was to descend to An
geia just as she had received it.
"A strange Will" the listeners agreed,
but it only showed the implicit trust Sir
Charles had in his wife.
Lady Rooden was n little surprised her
self. She had not expected such unrc-
served generosity, and she had certainly
thought that provision would have been
made for Angela. She caught the child
III her arms, and kissed the fair young
face in Il passion of tears.
You shall not suffer, my darling" she
declared, "for papa's generosity to me. i
VIII more than make up to you for it,"
But Angela did not understand. She
only clasped her arms more tightly around
her mothers neck.
After Sir Charles death, Lady Rooden
did not care to remain ut Rood Abbey.
Her IL desire was to go abroad, to seek
in change some relief from her present
sorrow. h was married SO Young
when only se~ventecn-and the whole of
her happy married life had been so COM
pletely engrossed by her love for her hus-
band and n ceaseless round of pleasures,
that she had given little thought to for
eign travel. Now u great desire came
over her to see all the famous countries
and cities of which she had read; and
Angela was delighted with her plan.
She secured the services of Il clever and
accomplished gentlewoman. Miss Ave
land; and a few months after Sir Charles
death Lady Rooden and her daughter
started for Il o which was to last four
years. while Rood Abbey was left in
