some Of the newspaper men present as the

Mr. Roosevelt. When these were called 10

that really ne had said nothing whatever

IL was AN unfortunate Incident he had
raised no objection. Neither the cardinal

action OF Mr.. Roosevelt or or the Vatican.

STYLES FOR MISSES
MORE NEARLY RIGHT THING
THAN THOSE FOR WOMEN.
Look Actually Adorable In Bagllke
Skirts Of Hour-Many Dressy
Frocks Are In One-Plece
Models.

The fall clothes provided for misses
strike the heart disgruntled with fash
ions follies as more nearly the right
thing than those provided for woman.
True, the small woman may find them
to her taste, but the styles are Great
ed for the girl, and 1t is not entirely
the traditions of girlhood that make
them attractive. Perhaps 1t is the
charm of the very short skirts and the
slim fgures-it may be that the young
girl is more suited to the present friv-
olities than the woman who is sup
posed to have come to the age Of rea-
son.
Everywhere one encounters the
maidenly wisp of humanity looking
actually adorable In the baglike skirts
of the hour, with their restraining
bands or skinny cut, with the over
skirt that looks as If 1t has a right
to be, the short sleeve that seems
legitimate and SO on. In the field OF
practicalities mannish little coat
suit represents the proper caper for
street wear, and in Its most killing
phases 1t looks as If 1t might be made
out of three yards Of stuff. A trim,
dinky sort Of little jacket, with coat
sleeves fitting all but to the skin and
single-breasted front, is completed
with skirt without gather and with
only two seams-these at the sides.
Mannish materials, too, are being used
for 1t, and for all the apparent SIM
plicity of such suits they require the
touch Of accomplished tailoring,
Many dressy little frocks are in one
piece models, or they may be in two
sections, with the upper part Of the
skirt Stimulating. with yoke or trim
ming, some basque finish for the
bodice. When the waist and skirt Join
perfectly it is impossible to see at
first glance that these frocks are not
in one. Then there is the straight
overskirt still with US, and Just now

The invention of the balloon by the
Montgolfier brothers, and their first
public ascent in 1882, directed the at
tention of the world to this new means
of aerial navigation, and in less than
three years after the Montgolfiers'
first ascension was made the English
channel was crossed in a balloon from
Dover to Calais by Blanchard and Doc
tor Jeffries, in 1885.

In the same year that Professor

experiments proved conclusively that

But these are the pet extremes Of

The combination of Russian coat

autumn and winter, for by wearing
warm little vest under the coat the
dress would be suitable for any but
the most frigid days. AS pictured, the

J" HE problem Of aerial navigation
has appealed to the mind of
man for centuries. In no
branch Of scientific investiga-

stability in artificial flight has been
only approximately solved
First Efforts to Fly.
In ancient times it was believed
that to fly was, by divine decree. i'm
possible. The Greeks and Romans
held that the power of fight was an
attribute only of the highest and most
powerful divinities. During the middle
ages there were many myths and
fables in circulation of certain favored
individuals who had flown for great
distances on wings. Frair Bacon
claimed that he had discovered the art
of flying and Albertus Magnus, the
noted philosopher, in his work, Mirabi-
lus Naturae, gave a recipe for aerial
navigation. From the sixteenth to the
eighteen century there were numerous
enthusiasts who, thinking they had
discovered the secret that would rem
der them masters Of the air, flew forth
from the tops of buildings only to be
dashed to their death. Efforts to fly
by means of Tapping wings were the
the flying art. Once the idea of soar
ing through the air-a theory arrived
at by Professor Lilienthal in 1871
was discovered to be productive of
success the science of aeronautics ad.
vanced by leaps and bounds. The first
successful attempt at aerial flight was
made in the eighteenth century by a
French marquis. who endeavored to
fly across the Seine from an upper
window of his house in Paris. He sue
ceeded In getting almost to the oppo-
site bank when he fell into boat and
was rescued.
In the seventeenth century Borelli
calculated the strength of the pectoral
muscles of birds and laid down tile
postulate that it was impossible for
man to fly by use Of his muscular
strength. This doctrine seems to have
been accepted, and no attempts at ar
tifcial fight were made until toward
