fessional Aeronaut In an Emergency.
The Dash Through Space.
I once went up in q balloon and
came down il parachute. Something
went wrong, and all the money in the
world doubled would not induce me to
make the experiment again.
One grows strangely accustomed to
dangers as an acrobat, and when 1t
was suggested that l should earn $25
in as many minutes by taking the place
of parachutist who had fallen Ill at
the last minute jumped at the chance.
1t was at large country fair. The
laughing crowd had probably never
seen a balloon go up. AS the great
silk bag gradually swelled a silence
fell upon the onlookers.
The sick parachutists manager pat
ted me on the back and said it was
money easily earned. I agreed-then.

A dull murmur rose as the ropes were
cast or and I felt my feet leave the
ground. The upward movement was
gentle, and a great cheer came up to
me until the band drowned It.
I hardly heard the cheering or the
band. The involuntary murmur still
rang In my ears Perhaps my nerves
were upset. possibly it was intuition,
but from the moment I was drawn up
from the ground felt the conviction
that grim trouble lay ahead.
Ignoring the oft repeated instruc-
lions, looked down. How slowly the
balloon went up! Could it be possible

FOR A BIG FAMILY.
Twirlins Tray Does Much to Expedite
Table Service.

There is a novelty extremely smart
as well as sensible, that solves a
problem of many housekeeper, both
those with plenty of servants and
those with none. This is a twirling
tray to expedite table service.
To have the meals of large family
daintily, even comfortably, served re-
quires a skilled waitress. Even so
there are apt to be long waits or
showing.
The English fashion of being more
informal for breakfast and luncheon
than for dinner, is gaining headway
with us. While the side-table serv-
ice. with each one helping his or her
self, has by no means become gen
eral, it is being more and more
adopted, especially in country homes.
A convenient substitute is found in
one of these trays. They are made
to match the table, either mahogany
or oak, and are about "a inches in
diameter, though they can be made
to suit any width table. Each tray
has a rim and rests on a standard on
which it slides easily.
The twirler is placed in the center
of the table, in reach of all, and on 1t
are placed, butter, preserves. bread
and rolls, the molasses pitcher, and
such relishes as radishes, celery, or
cheese. AS these are the things that
are in constant demand, and keep the
waitress busy, it is great time
saver to have them reached by simply
a twirl of the tray.
Ugly? Not all all: rather un-
usual looking at first, but the tray can
be made very dainty with its snowy
embroidered cover, a vase of flowers
in the center. and the other dishes en-
circling it.
Il one cares to go to the expense
there are sectional dishes made that
Just fit these trays. They are shallow
ana trimmed, and have a circular dish
in the center, with six or eight tri-
angular dishes radiating from 1t to
form an outer circle.
When the family is extra large two
trays are used, one at each end of the
table.
While these trays are only consid-
cred "the thing" for breakfast and
luncheon, and are generally used on
the bare table; when there is no maid
they can be used as convenience iic-l
tates.

Few women can. afford to keep a
gown entirely for travelling. It must
be utilized for walking and for simple
and informal occasions, and it should
be gown that can be worn in town

who goes out to buy a travelling dress
has much with which to contend.

to complete the renovation OF the lilac

with lilac silk and trimmed with lilac
flowers makes the costume one Of har

MATERIAL FOR THE COLLAR.
Fine Null in Thread Tucks Is Nov
Much Worn.

The new separate collar to attach to
thin white blouse is made of very
fine null in thread tucks, edged with
tiny border of black silk muslin a
top and bottom.
A line of this is also run up the
back and It is fastened with tiny round
silk buttons and cord loops.
The little bow attached to the front
is of plated null edged with the
black, and in the center there is a
butterfly of Irish lace.
This stock is especially effective
with an all-white suit and carries out
the color scheme if there are black
pumps and stockings and a white hat
trimmed with black satin.
1t is quite the fashion to finish the
center of the stiff little bows worn in
front of stock with motif of heavy
lace. These can easily be picked np
by the half dozen at sales.
Another pretty idea in neckwear is
a large bow of massaljne made with
equal loops and ends finished with a
heavy silk cord to match at all edges.
These sell in some shops for $3.50.
but If girl has bit of messaline in
the house she can make one for the
price of the cord.
They are worn at the base of the
stock as well as with the thin turn
over collar which is taking the place
of the thick linen turnover
