mentor in aeronautics, as applied to the
art Of war. gives a sensational warning
to his home government of the immed-
late possibilities Of the flying machine

The Ethics Of Old Clothes.


There are two ways of disposing of
discarded sarments--you can keep them
or you can give them way. In the first
case they fill up drawers and closets
which you need for other things, and at

Worse than this you arc constantly
tempted to get one more wear out of
some ancient frock In which you feel
shabby and III Mt ease, and SO spoil an
afternoon which you would have en-
joyed had you been suitably clad in your
new broadcloth. The boarding of old
clothes is a sin which brings it's own

bandeau is more often omitted than not.
When it is used, however, 1t is quite
shallow and is used as a foundation for
the trimming. The short back and
wider front is a feature OF the spring
hats. The three-cornered hat with the
front point much to the left side again
makes it's appearance with long, broad
quilts stuck smartly through the turned
up brim. Quilts and wings are, by the
way, the trimming for these ready-to-
wear models together with full rosettes,
smart cravat bows and like trimmings of
velvet and soft satin ribbons.
