Captain BaIdwin's Claims.

The airship sold by him to the gov
eminent has gas bag eighty-four feet
long and eighteen feet in diameter at
the thickest spot. The government re-
quired that the machine be capable of
attaining speed Of twenty miles an
hour, but Captain Baldwin claims that
it is actually capable Of twenty-six or
twenty -seven.
While most scientists agree that the
aeroplane is the ultimate flying ma

Dear Margery Doom:
/ am a girl of IS and have been going
with a gentleman three years my senior
for a year. We lave quarreled, how
ever. and | would like to know who IS
wrong. 1t was like this: He was
away on business one night and my
girl friend and / attended a dance.
While there some young men of our
acquaintance treated us very nicely
and escorted us home. As | have al
ways been very frank with my friend, !
told him all about this, but he seems
inclined to be very angry and treats
me coldly. This hurts me very much
and / would like to know which is in
the wrong. My friend goes out
with any other girl but me-. By decid-
ing this you will greatly oblige.
$. S. D.
I think the young man is inclined t
be jealous. Let MIN know that yot
think it is ridiculous for him to take
such a stand. Ask him if he does not
think it was better for the young mer
to escort you girls home from the dance
than to permit you to come home alone
at a late hour? If you are not en-
gagged he has no right to object to youi
receiving attention from others.

Do YOU know that the coming winter
there will be worn some of the pretti-

able, for never were they more stylish,
and something else is co~ming--that
season when it is going to be neces-
sary for you to look for gifts and pay
big prices for some when you do not
feel able to do SO, SO il is a timely
suggestion for the girl handy with her
embroidery or lace needles TO begin
making these gifts for Christmas pres
ents. Aside from collars and the like
there are countless neat bows n
1abots. The real foundation for them
is net, and one a trim them with
thread crochet work. \ few leisure

cravats, crochet buttons and other ac-
ctptable gifts. The crocheted pillow
cushion made of silkateen would be
handsome too. This material is very

Health and Beauty
For Ebery Woman
Easy Methods and Daily Care of Hands Will
Make Them Rrehy--A Simple Ointment.
Tonic to Stimulate the Hair.
BY MADAME ALTA.

To Make the Hands White and Pretty.
How to bring her hands n arms
back to their natural whiteness IL the
problem that Is confronting more than
one woman, for many who have reck-
lessly exposed their hands and arms
10 the sun and wind during the months
Just passed are bewailine their reck-
lessless and vowing to bestow more
caro- on those members In the days to
come.
Besides the careless woman, there is
another who would give worlds for
pretty hands, and she Is the woman
obliged by force of circumstance to do
her own housework.
A pretty hand should not only be a
shapely one, but should be soft. white and
free from blemishes. The woman who
does her own homework often finds 1t
difficult to keep them from becoming
tanned, for very few compilations will
bear exposure to the wind and rough
work without showing the effects of 1t.
The best preventive Is to wear loose
gloves whenever ones occupation will
permit it, and this may be done more
frequently than many suppose. Sweep
ing, busting and many other tasks can
be accomplished in this way after q
little practise. Even DISTINGUISHING can
be done without keeping the hands in
water very much, If a dish-mop made
OF. soft cotton is used. The hardest,
toughest hands may be made soft and
white IN a month oil two with proper
care.
Rain water is considered by many
authorities to be the best for washing
the hands. but a little borax added to
hard water will o~ounteract It's effects
and make 1t just as good. If you will
make q strong solution OF borax and
water and keep it in a bottle on a shelf
near the washstand, you will find it
more convenient than using 1t in pow
dered form. Warm water cleans the
hands more readily than cold, but they
should be rinsed afterwards in cold
water. Wash them gently until thor
oughly clean. using a good brush to
clean the nails. There is no surer
mark of a dainty than well-kept
nails, and their care should be consid-
cred as important as washing the face
or combing the hair.

of s ounces of powdered almonds, .

TIL c evening gown for the young
woman is made only with a slight dec
oltage. In fact, the small opening in
the neck of the bodice is more fashion
able this season than the very low-cut
gowns. This aceords more with the
guimpe or double bodice effect which IS
so fashionable this season. Almost
without exception, in gowns of color
there is some white finishing the neck
of the bodice and the sleeves.
Instead of losing its populariyt sou-
tache braid seems to be gaining in
favor every day. One of the most at
tractive uses to which tho braid is now
put is in the embroidering of white and
light colored net gowns. On white and
cream-colored nets the trimming Is
especially attractive. The gowns arc
made of flet net or of nets rather large
in mesh on the f1let idea.

MOURNING HATS.

The new mourning hats are really
beautiful. Quite large shapes prevail,
and the trimming is often an immense
bow of soft dull ribbon.
A hat for first mourning seen re-
Gently in a shop was a large round
shape slightly tilted on the left side
and trimmed in the front with a large
rosette of soft black ribbon from which
sprang four wings exquisitely modelled
from English crepe.
There is an absence of dull Jet or
similar characterization on the advanced
showing of mourning hats.

A beautiful organdie gown with a
design of large pink roses is made with
a jacket effect on'the bodice edged with
lace. The skirt Is quite plain and very
tight down to within about sixteen
inches of the floor. where 1t suddenly
flares out with ten narrow bias ruffles
of a solid pink lawn. The girdle Is Of
pink satin, which ties on n side OF the
front.
With the costume is worn a hat OF
white horsehair, made In Charlotte Cor
day style, with a wreath of tiny pink
roses round the crown. It makes a
pretty SENT dressy gown for dinner in
a hotel, and 1t is yet youthful enough
to be becoming to q young giri.
