Neither the sudden appearance Of
the man, nor his words, nor his
menacing gesture had in any re-.

The scene changed as at the
snap Of invisible fingers And
Monsieur Jonquelle came up on
the terrace. The man fell into the
posture Of one at ease before an
interruptIng visitor, and the wo-
man looked up languidly as
though undlsturbed; as though no
human drama, however tragic,
could disturb her; as though she
were forever beyond the stimulus
OF any human emotion.
1t was clear that the man had
no knowledge Of Monsieur jon

appearance, must have been an i'm

She did not rise. But she spoke

But there was none. He did not

She touched bell concealed
somewhere in the arm Of the

American sat down where he
was, but Monsieur Jonquelle car

stick, and his gloves.

The coats are of novelty tweeds and polo cloth; the capes are gracefully fashioned of Poiret, velour, herringbone and tricotine. The need for wraps at this season of the year is empha- sized by our chilly evenings, to say nothing of their good style.

are certain to win the admiration of women who buy carefully. Every new conception of spring and sum- mer is represented in frocks of taf- feta, georgette, Canton crepe and crepe Roma. There are models for the miss, the slender matron and for those with fuller figures. It was never intended that we sell these dresses for more than 25.00, yet they are prettier than that sum will ordinarily buy.

New York Dinner, Old Style
From Tocqueville's Letters, in the October
Yale Review

From Tocqueville's Letters, in the October
Yale Review.
Yesterday the mayor Of New York and the
aldermen to the number of % or 80 conducted
us with great ceremony to all the prisons
or houses of charity in the city After this
they invited us to an immense dinner, the
first of the sort that we have attended.
should very much like to describe it for you,
but it is difficult to do so. Imagine long
table like a refectory table at the upper end
of which the mayor, thanked by your two serv-
ants, seated; after which came the other
guests, all personages grave enough to make
one weep, for they laugh very little on this
side of the Atlantic.
As to the dinner itself, it was in the in-'
fancy of the art, vegetables and fish before
meat, oysters at dessert-in a word, complete
~ barbarous. The first glance I cast at the
table relieved me of great weight. I did not
see wine but only, as is the custom, water and
brandy. | sat down with the proper gravity
at the right of Monsieur the Mayor and await
ed the course of events. Unfortunately when
the soup was carried away they brought WINE.
The mayor drank to our health in the Eng
fish fashion, which consists in filling a small
glass, raising it, looking at the person the
while, and drinking 1.-THE whole procedure
accompanied with great solemnty. The one
to whom this polteness is addressed must re-
spond to it by doing exactly the same thing.
Therefore each of us drank his glass to the
mayor, and with suitable dignity. Up to that
point all went well. But we began to tremble
when we saw that all the guests felt it their
duty to do us the same honor. We had ex-
actly the air of hares with a pack of hounds
at their heels, and the fact is that they would
have broken if we had allowed them
to do So. But at the third glass | adopted
the plan of taking only swallow, and thus
got through very happily what we call in
France the end of the dinner, but here is only
the first act Most of the dishes then being
taken away, they brought lighted candles and
served very properly a napkin certain
number of cigars. Everyone took one and,
the company envelopng itself in cloud of
smoke, the toasts began. Everyone's muscles
relaxed tiny bit, and they delivered them
selves up to the heaviest gayety in the world.

NEEDLESS SACRIFICE OF LIFE
IN AIRPLANE ACCIDENTS

Eight lives were lost in airplane accidents
Saturday. A lieutenant of the army air serv-
ice and five enlisted men were killed when
bombing plane crashed to the earth at Mineola,
N. Y. Two lieutenants of the marine corps
were killed at Logan field, Baltimore.
Major Weaver, commanding Mitchell field
at Mineola said, This accident is exactly like
a number of other accidents in that the direct
cause will probably never be known. The plane
had been inspected previous to the flight and
was practically new
No explanation was offered in the dispatch
telling Of the Baltimore tragedy, except that
the plane went into tail spin and dropped
500 feet.
must be stopped It Is absurd to say that it
can't be stopped and that the young men
who are killed alnost daily forfeit their lives
to promote aviation. There Is no longer any
legitimate reason why these accidents should
occur with such distressing frequency. There
will probably always be fatalities in flying,
Just as there are on railroad trains and in au-
tomobiles, but aviation has reached the stage
where 1t is no longer extra-hazardous if proper
precautions are observed.
While the exact causes may not be known
in every case, when an airplane falls to the
earth It is usually the fault of the pilot or
the plane, the result of carelssness, incompe-
tence or defective machine.

race are beyond comprehension. For some rea-
son the possession of an automobile converts
many persons who have previously appeared to
be normal and conservative into the type of
driver who shows an amazing lack of regard
for his own safety and that of other people.
A grade crossing law, such the Right
Way magazine suggests, would tend to min
imize crossing accidents, but it would have to
be str'oty enforced, and it could not be en-
forced unless policemen were kept at railroad
crossings day and night. Motorists who race
trains to crossings and ignore a flagman's
warning after they get there, would not obey a
law designed to make them stop, unless they
were sure to be arrested and fined.
