WOMEN TO co UP INTO CLOUDS
Many Are Eager to Accompany Aeronaut Levee
in His Flight Ballooning the Latest Craze.

to the desire to try aerial navigation"
Besides Mrs. Edgar and Mrs. Thorn
as, the feminine balloon enthusiasts are
said to include Miss Ludlow, a sister
of the inventor of the aeroplane, which
has recently been exploited with sue
cess, and Miss Cofey.
In all his career as an aeronaut Le-
wee says his experience on Thursday,
Feb. %, was unique. The balloons
short flight was due to the poor quality
of gas. So deficient was 1t in lifting
power that, though ordinarily the bag
when inflated carried himself and $50
pounds of ballast, Thursday he could
not rise until all but eight pounds had
been discarded. The balloon swept
off to the southeast, followed by Cort-
landt Field Bishop and Leo Stevens in
an automobile. The Tuxedo special,
which had stopped at Hillburn for the
club members ana other sightseers,
started at the same time.
"Soon the balloon began it's descent"
said Levee. TT seemed as though the
balloon car would be dashed against
the train. Mr.. Bishop and Mr.. Stevens
were ready to grab the drag rope
There was a scene for writer's of melo-
drama-a train threatening destruction
to balloon and an auto chug-chugging
to the rescue! 1t all happened because
the highway, the railroad and the
course of the wind were almost paral-
lei
Getting safely over the train" con-
tinued the aeronaut Il found the car
descending in a patch of wood 200 feet
from the road. My last pound of bal

con of sandwiches, then my vest, were
thrown out rather than descend in the
trees and have the silk bag torn to
pieces was about to throw over my
coat and shoes when the car settled Oh
bit of meadow, where | landed"
At Tuxedo and roundabout were
luncheon parties, and in the afternoon
hundreds made pilgrimages to the
scene of the ascension. Women stood
in the mud for hours watching the bal
loon slowly fill. The sun half melted
the frost for an inch or two below the
surface of the ground, and the tram
pling of 1000 spectators churned the
surface into the blacklist mire. But the
interest in ballooning overcame all such
drawbacks. Aeronaut Levee was asked
hundreds of questions by those who
wanted to know the price, varieties and
time required for delivery of balloons.
Pierre Lorillard, Jr., who galloped
over from Tuxedo on a beautiful bay
thoroughbred, was one of those serious
~ interested, while a score of young
bloods who have been making auto rec
ords on Long Island and at Palm
Beach eagerly sought information as
to the details of balloon navigation.

Frightened Passengers Were Thereby

Persuaded to Remain Below.
A terrifying experience at sea is re-
ported by the officers of the French
line steamer, Hudson, which has ar
rived at New York.
During the storm which swept the
Atlantic last Friday afternoon and
night 1873 Storage passengers on the
steamer became panic-stricken and
were Quoted only after the captain
and first officer had threatened them
with revolver and knife.
Both the barometer and thermometer
fell rapidly and terrific gale rolled
up great seas. When the storm was
at its worst the Storage passengers
became panic-stricken and sought to
go on deck, insisting that if they must
die they wanted to meet death in the
open. The stewards and minor officers
lost control of the passengers and APP
pealed to the captain for assistance.
Capt. Julian and First Officer Me-
hausas, who were on the bridge, hur-
ried to the Storage quarters and at
| tempted to pacify the terrorized pas
, sengers. First they assured them that
there was no danger, then threatened
them, and finally drew revolvers and

while it lasted, was the most severe he

Two society women will accompany
Aeronaut Charles Levee when he
makes his next ascension, says the
New York Mail. The ascension will
probably be made at Pittsfeld, Mass,
in the BerkShires, In few days. The
selection of the women to accompany
the aeronaut solves the question us to
who shall be the first to make the as
cent with Mr.. Levee and is in the ma
ture of a gallant compromise.
DR.. Julian Z. Thomas, who is about
to undertake a course of training to
fit him to make ascensions, contracted
with Mr.. Levee to be his first passen-
ger when the aeronaut procured a car
large enough to accommodate more
than one person, but he gave way be-
fore other club members Consequent
" it has been determined that Mrs. L.
r, Edgar and Mrs. Julian 7. Thomas
shall make the first ascent.
Mrs. Edgar, who was Marie J.. Ma

some of them with Count de la VaulX,
who will come to the United States to
take part in the revival of balloOning.
Mrs Thomas wanted to make the as
cent with Levee at West Point on Feb.
II. but the balloon could carry but
one Mrs. Thomas was disappointed
when this was explained to her. DR..
Thomas hoped to make the ascent that
day himself, but Mrs Thomas would
not consent to his going.
"Many persons want to make the
ascent with Leyee when larger bal
loon arrives on this side," said Mrs.
Thomas recently. Thus far the flights
have been very successful. There isn't
any danger when proper precautions
are taken. The landing is not neces-
sarily dangerous"
"But Mr.. Levee tells of throwing
away his clothes and his luncheon
and his shoes to help the balloon make
another jump Don't such expedi-
ents indicate danger|
"Oh, I think not" laughed Mrs.
Thomas. "Of course if l went up
should want a good quality of gas,
with plenty of ballast to enable us to
make Jumps Then, too, we could Sc
lect our landing place and make it in
safety"
Mrs. Thomas said that she never had
any ambition to soar until she witness
ed the ascent at West Point Then she
became possessed of the idea and has
since become determined to accom-
plish it. She eagerly awaits the ar
rival of the larger car.
"As to costume, tailor made suit
will do" she said. II do not believe a
divided skirt will be necessary, 1t is
interesting to watch the fascination
with ballooning spread. At West Point
l was almost the only woman who took
any interest in the matter, but at Hill
burn at least three ladies had yielded

WILL KEEP OUT WALL STREET
New Chairman Wants No Corruption
Money from Corporations.


Money from Corporations.
The Birmingham Age-Herald prints
the following about Judge Griggs, the
new chairman of the democratic con-
gressional campaign committee:
Congressman James M. Griggs, of
Dawson, Ga, has been made the head
of the effort to elect a democratic
house of representatives next fall. He
is popular, widely known, and man
of no little experience, for he has once
before served on the important post
to which he has just been called This
was in 1907.
He is a warm friend of William Jen-
nings Bryan, but he stated on the
night of his selection as chairman that
it bore no relation to the political for
tunes of anyone in 1908. IT. however,
he succeeds in electing democratic
house he will help all democratic as
pirants in that year. He proposes to
fight "all along the lines" for such
a result.
II has been stated that Judge
Griggs will not be accorded credit in
circles where sinews of war are rails
ed. - This means that he cannot touch
corporations and magnates in Wall
street. He certainly will not. The
democrats want no corporation money.
They can win without it. They should
not win with it, and they as
suredly would not. The day
of big campaign subscriptions in Wall
street must be ended. Let Judge
Griggs go ahead. He is all right, for
he will keep out of Wall street. Give
the republicans clear field there, fol
they are built on plutocratic lines,

FOR THE OUTDOOR GIRL.
c Hand-Knit Sporting Jacket Very Chic for the Devotee of Golf and
 Vigorous Play.

It seems that the outdoor girl is here, and that she is here to stay. When the first cold wave comes she retires for a season of social activity, but out she comes in her sporting togs along with the first robin and enjoys herself in the open for the balance of the year.
 Just now this creature. who keeps her life full of fresh air. is rejoicing in a very chic sporting jacket. It is the most comfortable and convenient wrap of it's kind ever modeIed. she declares.
 The jacket Is knit by hand and fash toned like a short box coat. being devoid of all seams except those un- der the arms. A collar. such as men wear on their sack coats. and deep cuffs of leather. also pocket flaps. give the garment lots of style and make it fit for hard wear
 The ascot stock Is tie only neck wear permissible with the jacket

A Church Dinner.

The idea of a states dinner Is a good one. adding both interest and novelty to the ordinary church dinner. Send out invitations with the request that In the acceptance the guests designate the state in which they were born. Then the people from one state are to sit at the same table. or there may have to be two or three tables for one state if the space forbids seating more than limited number.
 There must be a hos; and hostess for each table and the decorations must be characteristic of the state. For in stance. at a recent dinner of this kind New Works" table had a pyramid of fruit. mostly apples. pears and grapes. New Hampshire and Vermont" sat together: a TOW of miniature trees was the decoration, with a hill of cotton sparkling with diamond dust snow. down which sleds were zaily sliding. also tiny figures on toboggans.

The place cards were Cupids. doing all sorts of things, but that of the bride-elect had heart upon 1t, pierced by an arrow. and Cupid was putting the rest of his arrows back into the quiver. The almond holders were pink rosebud boxes, and on opening hers the bride-elect found her engage ment ring. Congratulations followed. and everyone was completely sur prised.
 The regulation luncheon was served. Cupids ornamented the small cakes, and the hostess had put thimble in one, a ring in another and coin in third. The finding of these articles caused much merriment.
