than two hundred officers OF the sew
eral branches OF the service entertain
ambitions to become high flyers and
have applied to the signal service for
permission to take the course in avia-
ton at the College Park school. In
the past most of these applications
have had to be refused because the
war department could not spare them
from their present duties.
The signal corps has $4,000 left of
an appropriation of $125.000 for the
purchase of aeroplanes and the cree
ton OF hangers, and now that the
army men are TO be permitted TO go
to the flying school, the money will
probably soon be spent.
The next flying machine to be added
to Uncle Sans equipment, it is said,
will be double control Curtiss BIZ
plane OF new type, capable of doing
seventy-five miles an hour against a
stiff gale and a hundred miles an hour
with a favoring wind. There are now
two Curtiss machines at College Park,
but one of them is used largely for
experimental purposes and in teach
ing novices The new Curtiss will be
the fastest and finest flyer at the gov
eminent school. and in fact will be
nearly twice as speedy as any OF the
four machines now in use at the army
school

THE AUTUMN WARDROBE
BY MAUDE GREEN.

| new 1Ork, sept. zO.-EVery little
detail of dress has a meaning all its
own, to paraphrase an overworked
melody.
Skirts indicate more fullness and
there is even to be found an actual
ripple at the foot of some of the latest
models. Bands are still in vogue for
trimming, and some of them are put
on straight, while others are put on
in fanciful fashion for the express
purpose of giving variety to the lines
with which we have been familiar.
There is a great demand for the silk
serge frock, particularly in the new
shades of blue. The fact that we are
rather well acquainted with the hues
of the serge is relieved by the most
unusual color combinations, for these
new serge dresses are ornamented
with the most brilliant bands of purple
and green you ever saw. Younger
women select red and odd shades OF
rose and bronzet, yet they are eX-
tremely artistic and show the hand of
the French designer who knows above
all things, so we'll no VITO handle col
ors of widely varying tints in combina-
ton with each other for the most per-
feet harmony.
The fixings play an important part
in the autumn and winter wardrobe.
AS has been frequently stated before,
they help TO make wrap or frock,
and things being true of themselves
as they are of each other, they also
have the power to mar mode. One
of the new little shoulder fixings is
not much more than scarf draped
in monks hood style, yet il is eX-
tremely effective. 1t has three tassels
at the bottom and an inner row of
marabou to give softening effect.
The front comes down in fishu style.
Side patch pockets are appearing
on many of the new skirts, as well
as on coats. What with the bags and
the pockets that are beginning to tuck
themselves into out-of-sight places, a
woman nowadays has a place for her
handkerchief other than her sleeve or
belt. But for any such pocket the
glove handkerchief is to be recon-
mended rather than one of any size,
for no bullying pocket is wanted-in-
deed it is not allowed.
Tall, graceful women are wearing
simple frocks of serge, or
satin, if you like. Serge is cited as
an example of the durable fabrics of
ultra-fashionable liking, but the soft
silks and satins. with velvets and
other materials. are equally effective,
if not more so. A very pretty blue
serge is made in one piece and the
waist is quite midway the bust and
regulation waistline. The skirt ripples
at the bottom and is trimmed all the
way down the front with buttons of
its own material, having an outer line
of green satin all around. There is
belt of bright green patent leather, a
most unusual thing, clasped with
dull silver buckle The vest and
sleeves are outlined with braid and
the dainty yoke is of ecru net worked
in no particular pattern with heavy
green floss.

BRITlcH WOMEN AS PIONEERS
Or. Ethel smyth Has Opera Produced
and Orchestra Contains Several
Feminine Performers.

For the first time in the history
Of English music women have been
heard in frst-class orchestra. DR..
Ethel Smyth, the first woman to
have an opera produced in England,
is the pioneer Of this project, and
introduced q woman fautist and per-
cussionist, as well as a woman at the
drum, into the orchestra, which in
terpreted her varied and magnih-
cent harmonies at a recent matinee
at a London theater. Hitherto q
woman harpist is the only feminine
figure which has appeared in first
class orchestra, the harp being what
DR.. Smyth describes as can eminent
ly ladylike instrument" She claims
that women can look very pretty
playing wind instruments, and that
their femininity need not have any
effect on the volume of sound they
produce. The amount Of noise is
not a result necessarily Of physique,
but rather of intensity of feeling;
this is DR.. Smyth's contention and in
intensity it cannot be said the
women are lacking. The songs in
which these ladies were tested were
extremely difficult and very modern,
and have hitherto taxed the capacity
of the first-class male performer to
the utmost, but they stood the test
admirably, and there seems no good
reason why in future the symphony
orchestra and its prototypes should
not have the dull monotony of its
black-coated music masters relieved
by feminine frills.
