plane weighs nearly ten tons and u
driven by twin Siddellet-Deasey en-
gines with combined horsepower Of
500. 1t has a machine gun gallery on
either side the fuselage. Also it may
be used for bombing operations.
1t is armored on all sides and has
guns pointing in all directions. making
possible a deadly sweep Of fire from
every position and making an attack
by airplanes such as were used In the
war utterly out Of the question
The pilot and observer are seated
at the extreme front Of the flying ma
chine between the engines.
The airplane is capable OF carrying
several hundred pounds Of bombs and
has greater cruising radius than any
war airplane yet made.
Experts say that an airplane Of
this type sounds the death knell Of the
fast scouting flying machines that
made Fonck, Bishop and Rickenbacker
famous.

Footit then promptly abandoned his
original programme. and for half an
hour wandered about the audience with
out finding what he considered a trust
worthy physiognomy. and finally solved
the problem by drinking the contents
himself.
Footit claimed that he had never In

most timid morality. and he had such an
abhorrence for the use Of profanity that
he had been known to refuse to serve
customers at his American bar off the

Paris. Sept. 3.
Footit, Frances famous clown, has
passed into history. Several hundred
adults who remembered the happy
hours they had spent watching his
laughter provoking antics in Partisan
circuses followed his body to the grave
Wednesday But the most striking part
OF the burial was that no children were
present, although to French youngsters
Footit appeared to be their deity of
laughter, whose sole mission on earth
was to find new ideas for their amuse-
ment.
In the long line walking silently be-
hind the flower covered hearse, how
ever, were some Of this city's most
prominent doctors and lawyers and one
Deputy at least to whom Footit's death
recalled the early days OF the clowns
career. long before Barnum and other
American circus men tried unsuccess-
fully to WOO him away from Paris.
Partisan newspapers have devoted
columns to Footit's career, the staid
editors writing eulogies with reminis-
cent sobs appearing between the lines.
yet all have tried to keep up with
Footits cheerful influence by recount
ing the clowns tricks. which have been
copied the world over.
Had Footit been diplomat or a
general his death could not have aroused
more serious regret according to the
comment made by one member of the
French Academy to whom slap-stick
comedy appealed thirty years ago and
who Is suggesting that Footit be I'M
mortalized by giving his name to a
street In the Passy district.
Probably the greatest hit Footit ever
made was by searching for an honest
man In the audience to whom could be
entrusted n precious bottle OF liquor.
Footit admitted later that this stunt was
invented on the spur of the moment
without any intention of adding It to his
programme. but it was so successful that
1t has been used with variations by all
most every wea-er Of the cone shaped
hat since 1855.
Turning in his act of Furnishing his
colleague Chocolate" at a circus per-
forrnance one night. Footit saw a bottle
which was being inenaced by fellow
troupers. Hastily scanning the faces of
spectators In the front row he passed
the bottle to one of them with the re-
quest that he guard 1t. but when he re-
turned to the ring he reconsidered, took
the bottle from the guardian and passed
It to another while the audience howled
IN its delight over the implied lack OF
confidence.

COMBINE DIAMONDS AND ONYX
Fashion Now Reflects Mode of Black and White Which Is Seen
 in Dress.

The diamond is generally chosen for engagement rings because the legend is that it strengthens the love of a man for woman. The fashion now is to ally it with onyx, refiecting the mode of black and white which is seen in dress. Since onyx is supposed to have cooling effect on lovers, it is we'll to have its influence enumerated by diamonds for those who are super stitiOus in regard to jewels. The sparkle of the diamonds against the black surface of the onyx is striking and this combination is seen in many articles of jewelry. A handsome brooch is made of a large oval onyx, with an interesting design of diamonds set in platinum worked in it.. HatpinS are made of it, too; ring of onyx with tiny band of diamonds crossing it where it is joined to the pin. For pendants it is sometimes cut in little squares and alternated with square diamonds. Cigarette and flat vanity cases are made of silver striped with bands of onyx or white enamel and onyx. Often pearls are added to this combination, enhancing the effective ness without disturbing the color scheme

PARIS WEARS SHORT SLEEVES
Arm Covering So Abbreviated That Bracelet Is Worn Above the Elbow
 by Young Girls.

Over in Paris they are still wearing short-sleeved dresses and so short that the abOve-the- elbow bracelet is used with such dresses, especially by the very young girls whose arms are as slender above the elbow as below. The French study the psychology to a much greater extent than we when considering a style For instance, one authority says that no woman should wear long sleeves whose head is not perfectly we'll dressed. With her hair properly marcelled and with perfect boots a woman may wear long sleeves with great advantage. And come to think of it, can you not picture the woman with beautifully dressed hair as a very dainty lady Indeed in gown with long plain sleeves? If she has a good complexion, says the French critic, let the gown be black, but with bad complexion avoid black. In these days of made-up compleXiOnS, however, almost anyone may have good one. A bracelet made of band of pearls is worn outside the long sleeve, just above the wrist, or the watch on a black band of ribbon is used instead, outside and not inside the sleeve.

FOR THE NEG lICEE.
Washing Satin, Flannel de Soie
 or VeIours Are Good.
Garment Offers Greater Possibilities to Women for the Expression
 of Individual Ideas.

The province of the negligee, nowa- days, observes a fashion writer in the Christian Science Monitor, may be anything from a dressing gown worn in the bedroom, or a breakfast gown slipped into until we are able to gain some idea as to what the weather is going to be for the day, and so clothe ourselves accordingly, to an informal dinner gown worn for the cOzy din- her at home. In all it's differing func- tions it offers great possibilities to the woman of taste for it gives greater Op- pOrtunities perhaps than do other gar ments for the expression of individual ideas.
 For the morning wrapper washing satin or flannel de SOie is good ma terial, and some interesting color schemes might be worked out by a lining of the same material in another color with a long turned over rolled collar fastening to one side below the waistline, and also turned-back cuffs.
 Some very attractive negligeeS are made of velours cloth in magyar fash ion, with just a hole at the neck to SCL HUI, dAu u4opCu oL IAAC oANCfo velours cloth, with it's peachlike bloom, is an excellent material for all draped effects, and it may be had in very de lightful colors; it is also very warm for chilly evenings. A very dainty tea gown seen recently was fashioned of cream velOurs cloth edged with brown fur at the neck and sleeves, heavily embroidered with pale rose silk, and a pale pink moire ribbon run through two slots at the waist.
 Another gown of an entirely differ ent type, and which is more in the na ture of a dinner gown than a negligee proper, is the lace underdress which is worn with a silk or velvet coat. These dresses are very dainty and at tractive and can be carried out in many different ways. The underdress which is in itself complete dress and can of course be worn without the coat if desired, may be made entirely of piece lace, or it may be made of lace f1ounces or of spotted or plain net with bands of lace inserted in diff ferent patterns.

IN DRAFTED EFFECT
Improvement on UItra-DeCoIIete
 Dresses Is Manifest.
Dinner Gowns Cling at Hem, While They Are Full Over
 the Hips.

It is very interesting, writes Paris fashion correspondent, to note what Worth is doing with regard to eve ming dresses this season. This mai son has always been celebrated for its gorgeous dinner gowns and tOilettes for ceremOniOuS occasions. It is not here that one looks for eccentric mod els nor for sensational displays, but Worth sets the styles for women of refined taste, and so it is necessary to look closely at what he designs.
 This season he is showing very love ly dinner gowns which have drapeG effect. Several of his best models seem to cling at the hem while they are full over the hips. In some cases there is a distinct train, cut in with the dress itself.
 This is a welcome innovation, and one which likely will prove very popu- lar. For a long time past nearly all our evening trains have been separate from the dress-arranged in scarf fashion and often in tWin-form-One at either side. Or we have had court trains-these chiefly for wedding dresses But it is evident that Worth intends to revive genuine trains, cut with the dress and forming part of it.
 Trains of this order are specially suitable for matrons or for women of full figure. The picturesque scarf train is also much in evidence, but it will no longer be considered the only possible.
 One model represents some of the latest ideas of the Maison Worth: ex- Quisite materials skillfully maniDulat-

BLACK IS STILL IN VOGUE
Frocks of Velvet, VeIours de Laine, Duvetyn and Cloth Among Win
 ter FaVorites.

Black is still very smart. With the winter season at hand, women are wearing frocks of black velvet, black velours de laine, black duvetyn and black cloth. Some of these black frocks are trimmed with black monkey, gray baby lamb, gray or-more rarely-sil- yer fox. Others with no trimming oth- CT than stitching or picot edge are worn with superb scarves of sable It is remarkable that, with the price of fur at it's zenith, many women this sea- son are wearing the best of furs.
 Black felt hats are smart just now, worn with the dead-black frocks so affected at the moment. A tailored frock of black velours de laine with closely girdled short jacket embroid- cred with an angular design in black thread and trimmed with black cara cul, above a narrow plain black skirt, was worn with small black felt beret on the left side, the bow-ends falling to the shoulder.-Harper's Bazaar.

FEATHER TRIMMING FOR HATS
Heron Aigrette, Heron Breast Feath- CTS and Paradise Favorites for
 Millinery Decoration.

Feather trimmings for midwinter hats are markedly in favor. Heron aigrette and heron breast feathers take the lead among feathers de luxe. Paradise, too, is used. Glycerined os- trich and natural ostrich are having big vogue. Coque feathers are also much in evidence, and hackle and oth CT brilliant neck and breast feathers are frequently seen as borders on tur- bans.
 Paris milliners generally are show ing very eccentric feather effects on both turbans and large shapes. Some Of the new feather covered turbans look almost like wigs of bobbed hair, irregular and unkempt. Especially is this true when the hat is in dark brown. These feathers in no small degree resemble the monkey fur so popular last season.
 Among the new ostrich trimmings are slender, dropping, quill-like orna- ments of glycerined ostrich which are used in a disordered brushlike ar engagement, giving the hats an appear ance of the head-dresses of savage tribes. These wild looking feathers have appeared on both velvet and panne hats. Another ostrich trimming still used is the flat glycerined plumes as a covering for small and medium hats, with the long dragging ends fall tDg off over the brim. These, too, have a very savage and unkempt look, but are considered very smart. Ostrich pompons again are popular.
