The aviators Of Carlstrom and

ia Gorda to visits, which are
pleasing to all our people. They
come by rail, by auto and by air
plane. Many of them spend Sat
urday night and Sunday here and
they particularly enjoy the Satur-
day night dances at Hotel Punta
Gorda. When coming by aim
plane, they do not land, but "cut
high capers" over the town with
a view evidently of showing their
appreciation of the courtesies ex-
tended them by our people. We
had two airplane visits last week,
but there was one on Monday of
this week that was unusually
thrilling. In this instance the
aviator performed some blood
curdling feats, which caused one
spectator to remark, ~ hope to
heaven that no one of these avia-
tors will be killed here"

New Jabots Appear
STYLES Are Changed

Stocks and jabots are making their
appearance for the August and early
fan business, for which they are said
70 be good in some measure every sea-
SON. and which the style committee OF
mentioned particularly at their last
meeting. AT present il may be men
toned in passing that no one ventures
TO predict an especially strong season
the fact. that suits are expected to be
unusually big and that the stock and
jabot is often a Corollary.
Some new models are included in
the current showings in New York de-
veloped In novelty net laces in delicate
patterns These follow the accepted
lines, made with high boned stock and
double ripple jabot, sometimes mounted
on vestee of net.
By far the most interesting style in
this showing. however, is the separate
dickey with matching cuffs and collar
or half sleeves, because il is the style
most strongly featured and because
80 many OF the new fall dresses call
for neckwear of this sort. These sets
are developed almost entirely in net,
usually separated into rows or pufiings
by narrow Valenciennes cording.
The collars are cut TO meet the edge
of the dickey at either side and are
short Tuxedos in shape.
The cuffs of the snap-on sort.
1t was said here. are giving place in
a measure to half sleeves of net, which
are reported in growing demand.
There are some pleasing variations
OF the models in puffed net. as one set
that Is OF cream. but has half-inch
edging OF black net. This has double
ripple down the front of the dickey
in jabot style, and the black edging
gives shadow effect.
Organde is also used for these sets
many Of them extremely plain. finished
only by wide hens Of tuckinE. One
collar and cuff set has edge work ed
