Besides those disasters which have occurred
in the ranks of the professional aviators, numer-
GUS others which proved fatal to private expert
mentors, government employees and balloon par
ties have fully awakened public realization to
| the perils OF the air. Nearly every aviator has
had his tumbles, and the best have narrowly
escaped with their lives. NJ. Bleriot, who re-
Gently crossed the English Channel, is said to
have fallen more times than any other of his
fellow adventures.
In spite Of this liability to accident the eight
days OF flying at Rheims did not consign a single
individual to the hospital, and there is plenty
Of evidence to show how much better the aerial
travellers of the present are protected than their
predecessors The misfortunes Of the past have
led to mere careful adjustment Of the gravity
OF the airship, that the likelihood OF the
motor falling upon the pilot is small. Moreover,
the construction of the aeroplane now greatly
lessons the chance Of the aviator sustaining in
jury. 1t is almost impossible for the up-to-date
machine TO turn turtle, and there is little danger
Of a head-on descent. The crushing of the
light framework takes up some Of the shock,
and the pilot in his splinter proof suit and head
gear sits in his cagelike surroundings compare

That there IS much still unexpored in the
realm Of fight is nevertheless constantly at

unforeseen circumstances The collapsing Of

The Bow In the Back.

This trimming across the back OF
the hat is a feature of French mil
linery for spring. Some Of the smart
est high-crowned models have no
further trimming than this band and
bow of wide ribbon or velvet, except
for a rose or cabochon cluster OF small
flowers at one side of the front. These
bows at the back, be it understood, do
not droop over the hair, but are rather
stiff and conventional. with crisp loops
standing out at the sides.
Sometimes the band which encir-
cles the crown Is Of very wide ribbon
shirred to a stiff foundation OF crino-
line, and along the upper and lower
edges of the ribbon is an edge Of tiny
flowers, like forget-me-nots or arbutus
blossoms. The wide ribbon Is tied
simply in the regulation bow across
the back OF the crown.

Silk and Wool Gowns.

Soft and supple and silken are the
new fabrics, almost as infinite In
variety of weaves as tint, that are be-
ing made up into afternoon reception
gowns and evening demi-toilettes for
spring and early summer wear. Many
of these costumes have been ordered
for the large weddings which always
are q marked social feature OF that
season. In the pale grays and tans.
as well as in the rich, deep fruit
shades are seen some stunning high
necked and long-sleeyed reception
gowns which answer equally well for
daytime and evening affairs. Many OF
these are Of cashmere de sole, satin
and eolienne, but faille is destined to
have a tremendous vogue. and Justly
so, as 1t wears indefinitely and is SO
well adapted to the present mode OF
draped and clinging effects.

BEAUTY PATCH BACK AGAIN.
Restored to Favor In France ana
England, But Not Vet Popular
in America.

The beauty patch has crept back
into favor. It Is not uncommon 10
see bright eyes enhanced with a fetch'
ing patch Of court plaster, or attention
called to the alluring dimple by an
other bit Of black.
French and English women nave
been sporting the patch all winter,
but our beauties are slower to take II
up, possibly because their looks need
less enhancing.
Fortunately, as yet the beauty patch
IL confined to tiny diamonds and cres'
cents and but one or two to a face.
It is to be hoped the time Is far dis
tant when the modern belle seeks 10
rival her Observation-Disclosures. who
used to plaster herself with all sorts
of monstrosities cut from court plas-
ter.
One fair marquise Of the court or
the Grand Monarque appeared on one
occasion with a coach and four at the
corner of one eye and knight In full
regalia to emphasize the dimple In her
chin.
There Is an art in putting on a
beauty patch, and the girl who thinks
to make herself loveller by sticking
on a bit Of a court plaster at random
has need of a course of experiments
