NOW WE ARE TO HAVE
THE AERIAL AUTOMOBILE.

WRITTEN o THE SUNDAY
There is now being constructed in Brus-
sells a new aerial machine. the plan of which
is considerably more ambitious than any OF
those that have been evolved in the EN-
pire of air. up to the present.
The inventor. NJ. Willard. a Frenchman. 80
years old. who makes his home in Belgium
is aiming to solve the problem of aerial
automobilism"-that is. to create a type of
that will remain suspended in
the air at a height of two or three meters
in such a way az to be able to benefit in
speed by the diminution in the resistance to
the movement.
Tho reasoning is that resistance is less
on a steel surface than on the ground. less
on water than on steel, and stila less In the
air than on water.
1t is said that this aerial automobile" can
be raised over obstacles, such as hedges,
houses or trees.
NJ. Willard will not. however. max use
of this sscensional power, except In rare
cases. his desire being not to raise himself
very high. but to be able to move rapidly
forward.
The exterior aspect of the machine pre-
sents two large disks. made like two flat
tened lamp shades. turning on pivots fixed
to the eXtremities of Il horizontal bar,
which,, at the middle, is attached to the
perpendicular bars supporting the propeller
and rudder, and also the car. with its motor
Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
The motor acts upon the propeller (pIaced
in 'front.' and the two disks. The propeller
will make from ten to fifteen revolutions
per second.
The disks are constructed on the princi-
pie of an American windmill, the wings be-
ing of cloth. triangular in shape.
The disks, which are five meters in dame

of eighty revolutions a minute.

This gives the garment a decidedly strik-
ing and original appearance.

STILL IN FAVOR.
The wide tucked waist Is extremely pop
uiar in the palmer forms.
Stylish waists on this order show these
tucks made to simulate the Gibson front.
and the mode. though not new, is still pop
ular.
Additional ornamentation takes the form
of a row Of buttons rather small and placed
very close together. a favorite form being
parallel rows adjoining the front.
The buttons may be in self-color or again
in a contrasting shade. small pearl but

The actual weight OF NJ. Wizards aerial
auto1 is 40 Kilograms. but the initial
trials. made with a motor of only two
horse power. showed that the force Of the
disks in movement produced. after dfty
revolutions. a saving of 40 Kilograms.
Summed up. says the inventor. this avia.
tor presents a type Of automobile much
faster than the kind that runs on the
ground. for the reason that 1t encounters
but few obstacles, and. accordingly, the
dangers Of collisions are minimized. and
public traffic is in no degree Interrupted.
NJ. Willard has devoted five years to his
invention. which Is so nearly perfected that
he expects to begin his trials In public with
In a few days. His first experiments were
conducted In the courtyard Of the Hotel de-
VINE OF Schaesbeck. near Brussels.
He constructed the various parts Of the
machine in the cellar Of the Mont de Piets
OF Brussels, using candles for lighting.
Recently. he established his headquarters

A black waist trimmed with white braid
is wonderfully effective. as Is also the same

A good style shows a wide inserted band

The applied band. however. is also used
in this manner. and is also used in the sus-
pender effect.
These may extend simply to the shoulders,
half way down the back. or trim the entire
back as well as the front Of the garment.

Why should Men Marry.

To change the subject, the wonder to
me is not that marriages are becoming
fewer, but that men marry at all. Real
ly. bachelors are becoming too comfort
able. They live in apartment houses
which are conducted far better than the
average home. There are rooms of all
sizes and prices, but all pretty. all COM
Portable, and all much less expensive
than the same amount of air and space
in family apartment house.
Last night l was present at a house
warming given by one of these selfish
fortunates. l gained entrance by let
ting fall a handsome brass knocker. I
was ushered through a pretty hallway
into a large room lighted by candles.
shaded in poppy red. The walls were
covered with plain paper of this same
shade thickly studded with photo
graphs. drawings, signed verses, etc
At one end stood a piano. on which lay
a violin. A high backed settle and some
antique chairs completed the rich effect
of the room. The rest of the little
apartment was in keeping.

passages OF which we are not proud
Now we have made gorgeous fools OF
ourselves; now a beloved. trusted one
has broken our heart--at least we think
so. Again. we have passed through such
seasons OF poverty and anxiety that to
recall them is a nightmare Let Us pray
for the blessed boon of forgetfulneSs.
At the same time work while We pray.
That is ever the way TO have prayer
answered. When you are overwhelmed
with bitter. torturing memories. simply
think of something else You cannot
do il al one or two or three trials. but
YOU can accomplish ii in a few months
or a year or two. To help drown bitter
memories engage in some absorbing
work and keep your attention fixed on
the movements OF your body while you
work So shall you drown out grief and
bitter regrets and the memory OF losses.
But TO remember the things We need

1t is the characteristic of all the new
