Caprice of Fashion.

One of fashions latest caprices is
a kerchief turban that is wound round
and round the head, something on the
order of the Moorish headgear. Some
are made of printed cashmere or Per-
sian scarfs, which at times are yelled
by Chantilly lace, to make them even
more vague in design Over the left
eye is stuck a jaunty quill, a pleas
ants tail feather or bushy aigrette.
Although it may not be becoming and
may look as though the wearer were
trying to prove that real beauty can
not be married by anything, no matter
how ugly it may be. this fashion is
decidedly in keeping with the other
Oriental things of the season, such as
the baggy skirt, which resembles the
Eastern woman's trousers, and the
Oriental evening wraps.-New York

doors together and barred them from

a window set in the roof, and the
light was strong enough for the pur-
poses of the clever workman. whose
tools and materials were scattered
about.

and there was an eager note in his
voice. Tell me what you think about
it."
John Edwards began coldly crit
ical inspection of the odd machine.
He did not remember that he had
ever been interested in machinery be-
fore. But the fact failed to surprise
him. He peered here and there, went
down on his knees to inspect a hidden
part, and tested the strength of the
rods, and narrowly Investigated the
steering apparatus.
And the sallow young man watched
him with serious face.
Presently he looked up.
IL seems taut and compact" he
said. Il like the way you have con-
nected your motor, and your pilot
plane looks more practical than any I
have SEEN"
The stranger quickly nodded.
That's my own idea," he said.
I'm getting it protected. Do you
notice the cant of the major plane?"
He looked anxious as his visitor
turned again to the machine.
Il noticed it, said John. at looks
good. He paused and wrinkled his
forehead. Have you ever thought of
an oscillating plane?"
The stranger stared.
NO" he replied What do you
mean?"
Il mean double plane that acts
like a pair of oars" John explained.
They work from the centre by cam
and eccentric arrangement, and are
belted to your motor. They feather
the air and steady your centre of
gravity. Here, let me show you" He
drew an envelope from his coat
pocket, and, picking up a pencil from
the workbench, rapidly made a
sketch, the sallow young man eagerly
following his quick pencil strokes.
"Yes, yes" the stranger whispered,

The janitor felt worried when you
hurried by him, hatless and excited.
He tried to stop you, but you
would not heed him. Then he tele-
phoned for me and | came down to
the office-and met Cousin George in
the hallway and he had his car at
the door and we started out to find
you. A policeman had seer you
boarding the suburban car and so we
trailed it. And pretty soon we saw
you walking in field. We got you

soon be out again.
And she laid her cheek lovingly
against his.
How did appear when you found
me?" he asked.
"You-you were not yourself, dear.
You seemed to have fallen in the
field, because your clothes were
soiled.'
John family nodded.

He family smiled.

said.
And so he told it as we'll as he
could remember. And his wife, close
ly watching him, listened attentively.
"A very strange dream, DEAR she
said, land when you are quite well
you must write it all out"
He was silent for a moment.
II know it all was hallucination, +"
he slowly said, "but l give it up with
strong reluctance. IL felt so sure
of that trip abroad"
"Never mind, DEAR" said the low
ing voice. "We can wait.
He family laughed.
Helen" he said, II am going to do
something very foolish. Bring me the
coat l wore, please. l am going to
look for the phantom money the
phantom sky pilot gave me"
She was smiling as she handed him
the coat. And he smiled a little
shamefacedly as he took it, When he
caught her amused look he suddenly
laughed aloud and hastily drawing
forth the envelope he remembered so
well gave 1t quick shake.

John Edwards pointed at the draw
ing with the pencil.
The friction here can be reduced
by ball bearings" he said.
"Of course"
"And the sweeps like that term
better than planes-can have play
of fifteen degrees at the apex. Do
you follow the diagram"
"Yes, yes"
The stranger scanned the drawing
more closely as John Edwards tossed
down the pencil and drew back.
"Wh-what are you going to do
with the idea?" he stammered.
John smiled cunningly
Il haven't decided" he replied.
The strangers eyes snapped
See here" he said, I'll buy that
idea if you'll let ne. What do you
want for it?'
John Edwards considered the ques-
ton with an air of great gravity.
For some time he slowly said,
"my wife and have been considering
trip to Switzerland. My mother was
born over there and | have a strong
desire to see her early home. We de-
cided long ago that when we had a
thousand laid by that we didn't have
any other use for, we would take it

the stranger as if the matter was one
of the utmost Indifference. I'm in
clined TO think" he lazily added,
that | might lei you have the sole
right to this improvement for the
price OF the trip to the Alpine land. ="
The stranger thrust his hand inside
his light flannel shirt and drew out a
fiat pocket book. From this he
counted a number of bank bills.
Here you are" he said. You'll
find twenty fifty-dollar bills there.
For these l get the sole right to the
oscillating sweeps. Give me your
hand. It's a gentleman's agreement.
Your word is as good to me as your
bond"
John Edwards drew an envelope
from his coat pocket and after laying
the bank bills in it carefully replaced
the book.
And now said the sallow
stranger, "let us prepare for fight.
The machine is ready, the atmos-
pheric conditions ideal. Come"
John Edwards felt no surprise when
the stranger pushed the big doors
open and he found himself aiding him
in getting the airship across the
threshold.
The stranger threw hurried
glance about him and then closed the
big doors.
"If you fear the cold will get you
a thicker coat, he said, "but am not
going high.
"Pm all right" John replied.
"Then we are ready" said the
stranger. He carefully seated himself
behind the steering wheel and started
the motor. John Edwards crept in
behind him and took his place on the
narrow ledge.
Ready" said the stranger.
Ready" echoed John.

Yellow

Modish yellows are clear, delicate
tints of orchard flowers and garden
flowers. The unbecoming shade of
khaki has happily passed and left in
its place the better tones of banana,
champagne, ochre and apricot. The
muddy tones are absent from the yel-

one of the most effective.
