New York, November 19-AlI dismal

numbers of very charming blouses in
Paisley patterned soM silk. in crepe

also in shades specially dyed to matte b

For, although we wear our blouse

foregone conclusion that when they
are made in plain materials they will

Blouses in white washing silk are

and will be worn with coats and skirts

These blouses will be finished with

blOuses for morning wear, too, are lbe-

colors to match the gowns and trim

Among the prettiest of the new after

collars and applique motifs of Brus-

The fortunate possessors of real
lace heirlooms, especially when they
take the form of collar and cuffe, V

group some of them upon an otherwise
simple blouse, which in this way will
be lifted at once out of the region of
commonplace.

WELLMAN'S RIVAL TO
CROSS The OCEAN
Attempt to Be Made From
lliDthef Side.

New York, November 19.-The Times
publishes the following statement from
Joseph Brucker, of Munich. Bavaria
the aeronaut who expects to cross the
Atlantic in a dirigible balloon early
next year.
"Germany's greatest authority in
meteorological and oceanographical
matters, Prof. w. Koeppen, of the inn
perial nautical station at Hamburg
publishes in the last issue of Die
Woche an article in which he criti-
clzes Wellman's attempt and highly in
dorses my project to cross the Allan
tic in dirigible balloon.
THE Suchard is nearly completed,
and we shall have a ceremonial christ
ening next month.
'TFhe balloon proper is 200 feet long,
its largest diameter measures so feet
and its shape is that of fish. 1t will
contain 100000 cubic feet of hydrogen
gas, and ballonet of 1926, 900 cubic
feet.
THE seaworthy motor boat, which
We intend to hang on to the balloon
is 33 feet long and 10 feet wide it
contains two 100-horsepower motors
and tanks for 1000 gallons of gaso-
line.
81 have now two contrivances under
consideration, which if they prove what
1 expect, will regulate the expansion
of the gas when insulated.
Our Suchard would be good for
nothing as a dirigfble balloon in Eu-
rope, in America, or over the Allan
tic. on Wellman's route. 1t is built
for the special purpose to sail in the
smooth path of the northeast trades,
where we shall not encounter fogs,
headwinds, thunderstorms or hurri-
canes.
I'VE intend to start for the West In
dies early in January and shall be
ready for the fight late in february
or early in March March is the best

RHEUMATISM
PAINFUL g. DANGEROUS

Rheumatism is due to a diseased
condition of the blood cells and cor
puscles, brought about by an excess
of uric acid in the circulation. 1t is
notonly very painful disease but an
extremely dangerous trouble. The
briny, acrid state of the blood gradu-
ally forms a coating over the muscles,
and by depositing a cenent-like SUBJ
stance in the joints frequently ter1ni-
mates fatally, or leaves its victim
hopeless cripple. 1t is natural to
doctor the spot that hurts, and it is
quite right to use lininents, hot appli-
cations, ETC., to get temporary relief
from painful joint or swollen tendon;
but Rheumatism is not a skin disease,
and such things, when depended on
alone make one careless, and the dis
ease gets frner hold on the blood.
S. S. S. cures the disease because it is
the greatest of all blood purifiers. 1t

BUSHELS OF HAIR
ON LADIES' HEADS
More Worn Now Than Ever
Before.

New York, November 19.-Never,
perhaps, in tie history of the world
has a greater quantity of false hair
been used than now Even in the
chignon days when the colffure began
at the eyebrows, climbed high above
the occiput, and descended some inches
below tie neck, the ears were left I'M
covered.
But now we have enormous punches
of hair grouped over each ear, other
punches ranged above the brow, loop
or two spread upon the forehead, and.
in addition to this, chignon pointing
like Hamlet's madness 'fNorth-north-
west" and this cLGgnon surrounded
| by other masses.
False TreSseS.
The elaboration of the couture is
contradicted sometimes by the folds
of straight limp hair with which the
chignon is covered. But, however ar
ranged, the whole idea is favorable to
the manufacturers of false hair One
of the quaintest colffures lis that which
has an erection standing upward and
outward from the crown of the head.
For Evening Wear.
The hair ornament is not quite SO
flashy nor SO vulgar as it was last
season. Tie bandage has disappeared
from smart assemblies. On the other
hand, the bandeau of pearls, beads or
sequfns is even more elaborate than
that of last year. 1t is merefully mar
rover, but sometimes widens at the
back in order to support, like an in
verified flying buttress, the chignon
above described.
IA very poetic hair ornament is in
| skeleton leaves, initiated in dull silver
tinsel, the color resembling exactly
that of the skillfully manipulated dead
leaf This laid along the harir above
the brows suits a charming spiritual
face extremely we'll. One of the pref
test possible bandeaux is band of
black velvet with undulating edges
bordered with tiny pearls. In fair
hair this often looks quite lovely. Its
simplicity gives it an added grace.
