THE CLOTHES AND CHARACTER
Neat and Tsstefu. Morning Dresses
Are Really the Keynote Of the
Personality.

Long ago the wise woman learned
that clothes often tell tales ns to char
acter. And OF all the tale.bearing
clothes none can equal the dresses a
woman wears about the house In the
morning.
DO you take pride I'm your home
and are you willing to work yourself
to always keep II its shining best?
Then. let your clothes. which you wear
In the morning when you are busy
about the home duties. indicate these
characteristics OF yours most plainly.
To-day there is no excuse for a woman
not to look neatly and tastefully
dressed in the morning. There are SO
many materials for her to choose from
which launder to perfection and wear
well, too And there are so many de-
signs specially created for clothes for
morning wear that she need have no
difficulty cutting her own individual
preference.
Two-piece dresses for morning wear
are quite as much the vogue as the
one-piece dress. Many OF them, how
ever. have the princess effect. though
they consist of separate waist and
skirt, for the belt which is made of
the same fabric is joined to the skirt.

AMERICA II. STILL MISSING
No Definite Clue To Balloon Now Eight
DAYS 0uf-Vagus RumOrs From
The Cauaoian WiIds

The eighth day passed yesterday
without news of the balloon Amer
lea III. which left st. Louis with
Alan r. Hawley and Augustus T.
Post in the basket trying to win the
international race.
The news from Canada was even
less reassuring than on the day be-
fore, for it developed that the balloon
thought to have been seen over Rum
sey Lake. twenty miles north of Bis
coe, Ontario, was really seen on
Wednesday, and was probably either
the Dusseldorf or the Helvetis.
A meeting of the board of governors
of the Aero Club of America, at
which William Hawley, brother of
Alan +. Hawley, was present, was
held last night to decide on further
steps to be taken in the search for
the two aeronauts.
During the evening those at the
conference were in communication
with Edmond r. Stratton at OF
tawa, who was sent to Canada by
the club to conduct the search in
conjunction with Louis Spindler,
who went to Toronto to assist from
there in behalf of the st. Louis Aero
Club.
The most hopeful news received
at the club came through G. L. Mat
tice, division superintendent of the
Canadian Pacific at North Bay, Lake
Nipissing, who has wired all station
agent in his jurisdiction to let him
know if they had sighted a balloon on
Thursday. The agent at Chapleau,
in the Algoma district of Ontario,
two hundred miles from Sudbury, one
of the CanadianPacific division points,
wired that he saw a balloon going
over the place at 10 o'clock Thursday
night heading eastward. If this
agent did not date the sight of the
balloon a day late there is no doubt
that ii is the America ii.
This information loomed up so i'm
portant in the absence of anything
else that the members of the Aero
Club conference agreed with Mr..
Stratton in Ottawa that it ought to
be investigated As a result Mr..
Spindler at Toronto was advised to
start for Chapleau at once.

FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
ST. Johns To Play Hopkins November
l2-0iher Dates

st. Johns has finally settled upon
its football schedule for the year.
Owing to the disagreement with Hop
kins, the games scheduled for the
month of November were in a state
of uncertainty up to the present time,
but as the Hopkins game has been
finally settled, the remainder of the
schedule is now easily adjusted.
The date of the Hopkins-St. Johns
game is November II. st. Johns
had the 18th closed with Franklin
and Marshal, but arrangements were
made with them so that st. Johns
would be free to play Hopkins on
this date. In return for the loss of
the game with st. Johns schedule
or November IL, Franklin and Mar
shall gets game with Hopkins on
November "a. 1t was very pleasing
to all parties concerned that such an
amicable agreement could be reach
ed.
On November 19 st. Johns will
clash with their old rivals, Maryland
Agricultural College, on the home
grounds. This game had been sched-
uled for October 6, but the NJ. A. c.
management cancelled that date, and
now a new date has been settled up
on. The last game of the season is,
as has been the custom for some
years, with the Pennsylvania Mill
tary College, at Chester, Pa, on
Thanksgiving Day.
St. Johns this year, so far has
not won any games. The remainder
of the schedule will be as follows
V.-M. l., Dickinson, Hopkins, NJ.

game will be with the Virginia Mil =
itary Institute at Lexington, and
Dickinson will play at Annapolis on
November 5.
