About as funny a trial fashion as

about as crazy and ugly-is the use of

The arms and neck are left bare and
natural color so that the wearer's bust
looks as if it were cased in armor with
a dull golden sheen or. since 1t fits
close without fold or wrinkle, as if the
skin were vanished to initiate bronze
metal. 1t is an old trick of circuses
and fairs in France to show bronze
men who are vanished all over that
way. AT the seaside, no doubt, arms,
shoulder and neck of the wearer will
be tanned with tea wash or something
similar to shade away from the old
gold bust, but don't see how that will
help the effect.
Where did they get the idea? These
metaltinted feathers or limitations
have been used for shoes-golden slip
pers that do not always mount the
golden ladder. They also give good
effect in slashes applied to dresses to
be seen under strong light. Perhaps
too much of the stuff has been manu-

it sold off. The ancient cloth of gold

Gasenko has invented) is under way.
When Gasenko gets tired he purposes
shutting off his engine and riding
through sleep like the lone ocean
navigators. But that is admittedly
only possible in fair weather. In bad
weather the oceanoplan must be kept
nose up to the wind and make more
speed than the wind or outrun It, At
least 1t is considered obvious now that
If this little half-ton contrivance were
left to the mercy of an Atlantic
storm it could not survive
Gasenko admits it is a sporting
proposition. If he has engine trouble
in mfdocean during a storm that will
be risky. But for the rest he has had
enough success with smaller models
to make him believe he will be able
to maneuver his little craft as sue
cessfully as gull, keep his nose up
to the blow or run away from 1t and
get away from any storm center be-
fore he is worn out by constant navi-
eating.
GaSenko is not contented with a
slow development. He wants to make
a dash across the Atlantic and cause
the world to sit up and take notice of
something new. He has no fear, ex-
cept of engine trouble. Mountainous
waves he says he will hop over; the
trough of the sea where the wind
fails he will avoid. He will barely

Motor boats, which lose four-fifths
of their potential speed through the
resistance of water, will disappear as
fast boats when the rivers and lakes
are as full of these skimmers AS
shady pools are full of their insect

themselves out of the water on long
