There are over 500 guests in the

derelict of the slums.
No written invitations were is

some extemporanous laugh-making.

Interest in aeronautics has been
Intensified since the government began

OF Capt. Baldwin's big dirigible bal
loon, which he built for the signal
corps of the United States army. were
followed with keen interest all over
the ballooning world. In addition to
this he has built for the government
two spherical balloons.
Following the old adage that q shoe
maker should stick to his last. Capt.
Baldwin never wavered for a moment
in his intention to master the air for
transportation facilities.
When still mere youngster he BE-

been nearly so years previous to Bald.

That was 81 years ago. Baldwin an

those who were working along the
same lines that he had spent SO many

The one sad event in Capt. Baldvin's
experience was the loss OF his perfect

TIES FOR WIDE COLLARS.
Not Necessary That They Should Be
In Expensive Silk.

Every one knows that with the new
broad collar. Unfortunately called
Byron, Eton or Peter Pan, the most
artistic flowing ties are worn. but 1t is
. now idea to make them OF material
other than silk. Fine sheer handker-
chief linen is the most useful and the
prettiest of materials for summer ac-
eessories. and when made up into ties
II is attractive.
The new ties for Byron collars are
simply bows made OF straight piece
Of linen about five inches wide and IS
inches long. 1t sounds gigantic, It is
true. but the flowing tie OF the Quar-
tier Latin must have long loops and
long ends.
When making such tie 1t is best
70 cut the linen an inch longer and
an inch broader than the finished tie
will be, or 1t must be buttonholed with
mercerized cotton all round-at both
sides and each end. Sometimes the
embroidery is done in a color to match
the suit or dress with which it Is to
these little things that need frequent
Washing.
When It is finished it may be tied
into a bow and pinned to the front of
the collar. but no gold or jeweled pins
must be in evidence.
The best way to manage is to slip
the linen through the collar band In
front and then tie the bow. This
hides the collar button and the tie
cannot slip. AS the band on these
wide affairs Is narrow, the tie which
extends round the neck is likely to
get out of place.
Some OF these summer ties are cut
with ends on the bias.
All lace insertion and edging should
Be tabooed for wear with this new
wrinkle of fashion. Byron, though he
may have been odd. certainly never
wore lace neckties.
