WEDDING TRIPS IN THE AIR
Aeroplane Honeymoons Preferable In
Some Ways to Those OF
Ordinary Sort.

There Is much to be said in favor
of ~aeroplane weddings, but we shall
Jay only a little of it on a day like
this, remarks the Newark News.
Let us indicate briefly a few
salient features of this new social in
stitution.
The aeroplane wedding solves the
problem of the getaway. When the
happy couple depart in an airship
their loving friends cannot scare the
horses into running away and break
ing the brides neck.
Nor is it possible for them to throw
high enough to blacken the bride
groom's eyes with old shoes. Tho
newly-wedded pair are, in fact, in a
position to lombard the wedding
guests IL they SO desire.
A f~ive-pound boot dropped on a
wedding guest from a height of $50
feet ought to bring him a tremend-
Due amount of good luck. according
to the traditions of wedding festivity.
An %aeroplane honeymoon ought to
be fascinating. Imagine sailing along
all day without having to stand the
bold, bad gaze of a patent leather
drummer in the seat across the aisle.
Fancy being too far up In the clouds
to hear the ribald whistle Of the
young loafers at the railway station.
But airship honeymoons n as
sure to come to an end as the other
kind. In a careless moment the
bridegroom will say:
you do very nicely at the levers,
my dear, but your figure eights are
nothing like mother used to make"
A new form of wedding announce
ment will have to be prepared for the
society reporters, in part as follows:
"Mr. and Mrs. Winger left imme.
diately after the ceremony for an ex-
tended aviation tour in France. IF
they return they will reside at rs
Laurel road"
Aeroplane marriages are highly
dangerous, perhaps, but all kinds
are, for that matter.

LIKE THE MADONNA FichU
More Than One Reason for the Popu-
larity Of This Peculiarly Named
Garment.

Why the Madonna fichu Is so-called,
nobody seems to know, but at any
rate 1t makes a satisfactory covering
for the blouse of ugly cut or evil At,
since 1t conceals most Of the back and
fronts and q goodly portion Of the
sleeve-tops. The Madonna fchu actual
ly Ia a shoulder cape with a deeply
rounded back reaching to the belt, and
SO broad is 1t at the shoulders that
between the top and the elbow OF the
sleeves. The front tabs, instead of
tapering, continue broad for their en-.
tire length and have square ends
which come fatty against the figure
and T fastened to some part of the
frock by invisible hooks End eyes.
The Madonna fichu Is made in a va
riety Of ways. A model, which is
greatly liked in soft silk or fine linen,
is In two layers. n a trife deeper
than the other, and has a wide turned
over collar in Van Dykes edged with
heavy embroidery. This fichu crosses
close to the belt, and running over it
at its front center fastens against the
side can OF the skirt far down on
the hips, thus forming an effect not
unlike the fronts of a cutaway jacket.
Another attractive Madonna fichu is
of black chiffon velvet. Its only trim
ming is a narrow band OF white or
black malines going about the neck
and as far as the bust, where the wide
tabs cross. From there they run to-
ward the sides Of the bodice, and are
hooked against its under arm seams.

Care Of Pins.

A good iGea after buying a paper Of
new pins Is to cut one line of at a
time and not to dive into the whole
paper at once. A sewing basket
should have its pincushion well sup
Piled with pins, and when sewing a
box should be near at hand into which
all the pins a be tossed in a hurry.
A pin tray or small pincushion
should be on every girls or woman's
bureau, and the pins should be put
into these at night when. perhaps. a
pin or two will have to be taken out
Of the stock collar belt. The pins
used In pinning on a veil should al
ways be put back in the yelling after
1t has been carefully folded up and
before placing in the hat box or bu-
reau drawer.

To Razc Historic House.

Having purchased the historic
house at Van C~ortlandville, neal
Peekskill, Walter s. Hamilton Of
Nyack will raze the edifce and re-
place it with a fine modern home.
During the Revolutionary war the
old building a a popular wayside
inn, being a regular stopping place
for parties of Washington's troops as
they went up and down the Hudson
river. And the general himself often
visited the place for rest and refresh
ment.
A platoon OF soldiers guarding
Major Andre after his capture took
an early morning breakfast there on
December 26, 1880. Efforts made by
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton to v the premises from de-
struction seem to have met with no
success.

To Restore C~hartreuse Monastery.

Tourists in all parts of the world
will be interested to learn that the
famous Grande Chartreuse monastery,
which has been sadly neglected of
recent years, Is to be repaired and
restored by the French authorities.
Every year it is visited free by 60, 900
tourists, and If a small entrance fec
were charged the monastery could be
kept In good condition. The Grande
Chartreuse was founded by st. Bruno
in 1854, and In 1882 it was completely
destroyed by an avalanche, but was
reconstructed soon after. Between
the fourteenth and seventeenth CEN
turtles 1t was destroyed by fire eight
times, and rebuilt on the same site.
The last fire took place in 1875, when
the famous monastery was recon-
structed as it remains today, prac-
tically no change having been made
during the last 236 years. 1t Is a
venerable monument of French re-
ligious architecture, situated In a
picturesque site midst the Dauphiny
Alps.

furs is the thing this year. There are,
however, exceptions to this rule. and
several women Of fashion have or
dered costly all-ermine coats for eve

These ermins coats. by thu way,
while being anything but bulky, are
wonderfully full. and can be fairly

ermine wraps. 1t may be said. how
every, to the comfort Of those who
season before. that there Is very little
radical change in the cut of the more
serviceable fur coats this season, and
that, except for the addition Of a con
trasttng collar, your %caracul. seal or
pony coat OF last season will need no
alterations whatever.
Ermine will be very fashionable this
year, especially In combination with
moleskin and various black furs. Err

most suitable evening furs. although,
Of course. sable-known also as zibe-
line-is always appropriate at any
time. Moleskin. although some au'
thorities say Its day has passed, is
30 graceful and pliable that 1t will still
bold its own.
Natural color caracul Is another one
OF the seasons fancies. A beautiful

Aside from the usual sale Of fur
muffs, collars and cloaks Of various
descriptions, there will be an enor-
nous amount Of fur trimming used
this year. Most of the diaphanous
evening gowns will have fur trim
ming. and the exquisite evening wraps,
OF brilliant brocaded silks and chif-
fons. are frequently edged with sable
or srmine. Milliners, too, v made
better use OF fur. ,he seasons hats
sometimes show two furs charmingly
combined.
Small fur bags, to match coat or
mum. are to be used this year. Most
of the bags are envelope shape, with
fur handles and wide flaps, fastened
with a pearl clasp. Some OF the bags
have metal mountings and long silk
cord handles.
