INTEREST WOMEN.

The following clipped from the Chi.
cago Tribune will interest women:
No wonder women love the bright
ness of the ballroom, with it's lights
flowers and enhancing music. Some.
thing else mingles with the odorous
perfumes of the blooms. 1t is ro
nance.
A ball means much to woman-a
new gown-one Of those filmy, fluffy
fabrics in which she is sure of looking
her best.
It is an event always looked forward
to with eagerness and delight especial.
ly to the girl whose beau has not yet
proposed.
No one yet has been able to fathom
just what causes it, but more young
men have proposed marriage at a ball
than any other place on earth.
Perhaps it is the gay. happy frame
Of mind in which they find themselves
which induce them to pop the ques'
ton. Perhaps is is the effect of melo.
dy which produces an ecstatic effect
on many hearts. And last, but by no
means least, perhaps it is the close
embrace. his arm about the supple
waist, which causes him to wish fer
vently that the owner OF the slim
waist might accord him the privilege
for all time as her husband. And in
voluntarily the words burst from his
lips in thrilling whisper: Il love you,
dear: will you marry me?"

DRExEL BAR0GRAPH TEST
Pennsylvania Aero Club viii Re-
Examine Machine

NEW YORK, Dec. Another test
is to be made of the Paragraph used
by J.. Armstrong Drexel at Philadel-
phia in his effort to establish a new
worlds record for altitude.
After the flight the instrument
showed a record of 1870 feet, which
was 256 over the previous worlds rec
ord made by Ralph Johnstone in Bel
mont park October 81.
When the Paragraph was brought
to New York 1t was sent to the eX-
perts employed by the Aero Club of
America, who reported an error in the
machine. which reduced the record of
Drexels flight to $3.50 feet, 264 feet less
than Johnstone's record.
Mr.. Drexers claim to a worlds rec
ord therefore was rejected. 1t is now
announced the Aero club of Pennsyl-
vania will take tho instrument back
to Philadelphia for retesting, which
will be witnessed by two scientists
from the weather bureau in Wash
ington.
