AERIAL TRAIL BREAKING.

Amazing Speed and Endurance Of tho
Wild Swan In Flight.
It is impossible for one who has seen
only the common mute swans floating
about in the artificial lakes of city
parks to imagine the grandeur Of a
flock Of the great whistlers in their
wild state. In wild Life and the
Camera" Mr.. A. r. Dugmore says the
sight is one Of the most impressive in
nature. AS the huge birds rise into the
air it seems as if an aerial regatta

en- feet. moving like yachts under full
sail.
Once the swans are fairly under way
their speed is amazing. nearly a hun
dred miles an hour. and that. too. with
no apparent effort, for the slow wing
motion is very deceiving. Their en-
durance is as surprising as their speed.
for they are said to travel a thousand
miles without alighting.
The focks are usually led by an old
andS experienced swan. and it is said
that IS one becomes tired Of leading.

ago, while on their way north, a large
number stopped above Niagara falls,
and more than a hundred were by
some extraordinary mischance carried
over the falls and killed in the surg

Whether the swans prepare in any
special way for their southwark jour-
ney is not known. but before starting
north they indulge in the curious habit
known as "ballasting"-that is to say,
they Eat great quantities Of sand, for
what purpose no one knows.
In the faraway Arctic ocean is their
breeding place, and it is believed that
they mate for life. AS with so many

COATS AND SKIRTS
FOR UTILITY WEAR

Fuller skirts are much easier for
walking in, and, provided the fullness
is kept in the proper place and not
exaggerated, the effect is much better.
Many of the newest skirts for walking
have their fullness over the hips ar
ranged in pleats, folds or strapped
down by braiding, or stitched bands of
material down to below the hips.
The back and front of these skirts
are formed of fat panel. generally
buttoned down on to the side pleats.
The skirt with fiat effect in front and
then slightly gathered into a narrow
band around the waist is another good
model for a slightly full walking
skirt, and the long basqued coat over
this almost gives the effect of the
tunic.
Most of the coats have their basques
open in front, showing a width of the
skirt, and are, perhaps, easier to walk
in; but some, which have very full
basques. are buttoned down to the ex-
treme edge of the basque, after the
fashion of long coats
All, without exception, are buttoned
up closely to the throat and finishe ed
with a fur collar, generally tight and
high. Sleeves are long and fairly
tight from elbow to wrist. thence
up gradually widening toward the
shoulder, where some of them are quite
loose and wide. The majority, how
ever. are no more than easy fitting.

AMERICAN FASHIONS.
BY LILLIAN E. YOUNG.

Whether or not it is the superfine
quality of materials or the long. grace
full lines of the new silhouette, we can
certainly venture the opinion that one
or the other, or both of these, go to-
ward elevating the evening frock to
the zenith of it's charm. 1t is not diff
cult to understand the wonders that can
be wrought in the way of these dainty
and irresistible dresses when one is
shown such quantities of gossamer
weaves. foamy .laces and delicate,
scintillant trimmings as the shops
abound in.
An exquisitely pretty frock is shown
today, made up of cyclamen pink chiffon
over ivory white taffeta, with pearl
beads, roses and delicately traced sill
yer thread embroidery for trimmings.
To begin with, the taffeta underskirt
is quite plain and cut by a not-too-full
circular pattern. This is mounted at a
high waist line to tiny bodice of the
same. embroidered delicately around
the top and held in place by narrow
ribbon straps over the shoulders. So
much for the foundation.
Next comes very interesting sacque-
corsage of the pink chiffon, cut in a
deep V. front and back. hanging un-
confined at the waist, except just in
front, where a velvet girdle in pansy-
purple holds it close to the figure. The
side seams, below wide armholes, show
lacingS of silver cord, then drop in a
deep rose-weighted point over either
hip. The shoulder straps show bit of
silver thread embroidery In back the
