words. the aerial voyage undertaken
in such circumstances Is compared to
an attempt on persons own life, and
lit is consequently condemned by the
church, as 1t practically amounts to
suicide. The church does not condemn
aviation, when is regarded as means
OF locomotion, and some time ago the
pope granted the necessary an.horiza-
ton to the bishop of Versailles to
bless an aer)plane, while recently the
archbishop Of Paris allowed mass to

composer, is engaged upon another
important work. which is to be called
IAN Alpine symphony" and will take
about an hour to play. The first part
represents the feelings of lonely
traveller ascending a high mountain,
gradually Withdrawing himself from
the world. A lyrical motif runs
through it, representing the littleness
of terrestrial affairs. The second d.

descent, which is occupied with the
struggle in the wanderers soul be-
tween his feeling for nature alone and
the higher feeling for the divine, both
OF these feelings being represented by
their particular motifs. Finally the
motif of religious faith dominates the
other. and the symphony concludes
with a lofty hymn of praise to God.
One of the prettiest skirts now worn
in London has a sort of crossOver eff
feet with fringe ends. II has made its
way to England from Paris, and its
evolution is interesting. The general
effect-the idea being supplied by the
assistant of 4 great Paris dressmaker,
by the way-is that of butchers
apron. Said assistant was attracted
by the neat manner in which her
butcher arranged his apron when she
was doing her Sunday morning mar
keting. First, she studied the hang
of it, then shs considered the way in
which he draped the apron. The re-
suit of the observation was the latest
skirt, which IS cut to drape the figure
as butchers apron covers the
butcher.
