Every one is more or less inter ested in the great experiments being made in aviation, so with this in mind a hostess used a lovely miniature air ship gotten at the toy department, over her table at a dinner given for eight guests. The favors were diminu tive airships and the place cards were painted with balloons and airships floating over the surface of the card Each guest was asked to express his or her opinion upon the success of aeroplanes; as several of the guests had had actual experience this was a most Interesting feature of the af fair. One of the women had been "up" and another was about to accept an invitation, so it was all very ex citing. Perhaps the time is not fai distant when "sky" pilots will be u necessary as those on the sea. MADAME MERRL Dresses Two bands of Valenciennes insertion separated by a band of the nainsook with the French knots form the belt, while the skirt is finished at the bot tom with tucks, Valenciennes insertion and embroidery. ' The third sketch, at the right, shows a charming little dress to be made up in white pique. The skirt Is so made that it gives the effect of a very deep hem turned back at the top at the left side to form tiny revers which are ornament ed with buttons. Below these revers there are knots and loops of cord. The blouse, with short kimono sleeves, is made and trimmed to cor respond, and is finished in front with a knot of pale blue satin ribbon, of which the girdle is also made. The gulmpe and undersleeves are ot tucked muslin and English embroidery. Oklahoma Boar o? Education Sees One Attired as Cannibal, Others as Grizzly Bear and as Western Outlaw. Alva, Okla. Three young women teachers of the Normal School who went to a masquerade ball in 1908 and posed with 10 other women teachers for a flashlight picture in costumes after the ball have registered a sol- emu vow never again to allow them- selves to get within range of a cam era, except under the most conven tional conditions. A copy of this ball masque picture has fallen into the hands of the State Board of Education and members of the board have doubts about reap pointing those made up as the grizzly bear, the cannibal and the Western outlaw. They argue that young wo men who would attend a ball in such costumes are lacking in some of the qualities which go to make up the character of a successful teacher. The cannibal girl wore a fuzzy cos tume around her shoulders and waist, but as the building of the costume proceeded the material seemed to run short and she did not carry it below the knees. From there down to her dancing slippers her costume was of very gauzy silk. The grizzly bear girl had an effect' ive costume made of robes, and there didn't appear to be any Immodesty In it, but she has been placed on the list, The third girl was made up like a frontier bad man and wore a heavy black mustache, carried big revolvers and looked real mean. One young woman teacher was on the list as having appeared in a cos tume built on lines of rigid economy She was indignant at the charge and not only proved that she was not in the picture, but was not even at the ball, much to her regret at the time, Members of the board assert that the picture of the young women in masquerade costumes is very, very bad, and to assure themselves of its naughtiness they keep looking at it from time to time. CHICAGO PASTOR DOUBTS JOB Raise Point at Camp Meeting Wheth er Old Bible Martyr Ever Lived. Chicago. Did Job, the patient, the boil-beset martyr of Bible lore, really live? Was he a man or only a mythT Or waa he but a character in a drama? Were not the scenes enacted in his life presented by an ancient Shakespeare? Was Job not a picture of a type the details of whose story were not literally true? These questions were raised by Rev. Dr. H. Q. Jackson, pastor of the Ingle side Methodist Episcopal church, at the Des Plalnes camp meeting, near Chicago. His' address was the sensation of the day and caused no little "conster nation among the clergymen and lay men whose orthodoxy is unquestioned. Hut whether Just such a man as Job ever lived matters little," contin ued Dr. Jackson. "The book Is a drama In which Ood explained his at titude toward the sufferings of men. "The people who lived in the earlier ages of the world believed that all suffering was a penalty for sin and some people still entertain the no tion. They regarded this misfortune as a sure proof that the one afflicted had done wrong. "We find many startling Inequali ties among people today. Some wick ed people ride yachts, automobiles and palace coaches, while many righteous men either walk or stay at home. Some wicked people are well and strong and some who are right eous suffer agonies untold on beds of pain. Job teaches us that God has I higher ends than to simply punish people physically." SHE GETS HIS PAY ENVELOPE Kansas City Wife Sends Policeman to Escort Husband From Yards to Car on Pay Day. Kansas City, Kan. It remained for a Kansas City (Kan.) woman to find a new use for policemen. The woman lives in the north end of the city and her husoand works at one of the pack ing houses in the south end. The other day the woman telephoned police headquarters and asked that a police man take charge of her husband at the packing house gate and escort him to his street car. "But what charge do you make?" the captain asked. "I'm not making any charge," the woman said. "This Is pay day and I'm afraid unless my husband gets right on a car and comes home he'll spend all the money, and we need it." The captain sent the policeman and the man arrived home with his pay envelope Intact. ?T sister O v?v& I T IS only In recent years that Amer icans have taken the matter of dressing the hair Into such serious consideration, as to call upon his tory and art for inspiration. But, once awakened to the desirability of variety as well as beauty in coiffures, it was inevitable that American enterprise should ransack the world for ideas and win first place In the number and beauty of the designs produced. Not even the French excel us. For Americans are not satisfied with arti fice that Is too apparently artifice, however attractive. They must have artifice that is lost Bight of in its results. French halr-dressers, brought to this country, have to add to their knowledge of methods, the American "finishing touch," and to learn also to cater to individual taste. Once launched a new coiffure taken up with truly American en thusiasm, and alas! before its course is run, is even more than likely to be exaggerated beyond all resemblance to the original beautiful model, and to loose its identity. This stage marks its finish. But the producers of designs, (of whom there are very few) are ready with something new with the recurrence of each spring and fall. And let no woman, however beautiful, neglect to occasionally change the style of her coiffure or for get that her crowning glory has been the admiration of men for ages The demure and lovely Flemish coiffure came in with the spring and soon became a furore with youthful wearers. Smooth colls of hair ar ranged across the back of the head and over the ears, and uncovered brow, with hair parted In the middle or at one side a few straying curiy FISCHUS IN ALL MATERIALS Dainty Shoulder Fixings May Be Made at Home With Compara tively Small Outlay. Shoulder fixings which offer the ut most possibilities for home making and much elegance at small cost are the fischus, which are now being made in every material from dotted muslin to satin and velvet One of these lovely shoulder deck ings was shaped exactly like the fischu mantelet of our granmammas. It was of a thin chiffon silk In a pale violet with embroideries of pale blue. One slip was of violet gauze trimmed with blue, and the other was a little blue batiste affair simply tucked. Tall slim figures, or short ones, are equal ly glorified by these dainty fischus.' which to have the real old fashioned stamp, and, consequently, the new one, must ' fall In long rounded ends at the front. Shoulders, however, must not be too square, or these lit tle mantelets and draperies lose their charm. The model of the bigger fischu, the one that covers all tlie shoulders and falls like a cape at the back, with ends In some degree of length, offers a very good notion for the first fall evening wrap for a dressy frock. The fixing In this form Is especially adapted to the needs of the young matron, but,, as indicated, this very feminine prettlness is most charming with sloping shoulders. New Idea for Negligees One of the latest fancies for a dain ty negligee Is to use two thicknesses of moussellne or thin India silk, white for the outside and a delicate color underneath. They are separately made, and are only caught together at the hems. Tbey are most exquisitely elusive in the shading, and are trimmed with five ruffles of three-Inch footing. The neck is pointed In ths front and the back. The sleeves are rather loose and ruffled from the el bow to the shoulder, with the footing. From the point at the back of the neck there 1b a square bow with long ends hanging. At the front there Is Just a big square bow of the same, also edged with the footing. The shade known as leaf-green under tha white makes an excellent combination. locks about the face, are its features. It requires an abundant supply of nat ural balr or the use of switches, but is not difficult to arrange. Its latest adaptation is the massing of soft braided strands across the back ot the head as shown in Fig. 1. The ears, as in nearly all the newest coiffures, are covered. The always beautiful Greek coiffure Is shown in Fig. 2, combined with the Flemish. The Psyche knot is placed low at the back of the bead; two soft. flat colls of hair at the sides blend in to it and cover the ears. The hair about the face is arranged in loose curls, confined by a band terminating in ornaments. These ornaments are so placed as to seem to support the coils. The hair at the top of the head Is not parted, but lies in a broad strand across, from side to side. It would be difficult to accomplish this coiffure without the help of one or two pieces of artificial balr made for the purpose. In Fig. 3 is shown a very clevet coiffure for one who admires, but can not wear the plainer Flemish model; we cannot all possess clear cut fea tures and a shapely head. In thla model, short curls fall between the. colls of hair at the sides. There U no front parting. The hair is waved over the head with a light fringe oi curls over the forehead. This coiflurs Is very generally becoming and therf. is no gainsaying the charm ot curls. Also (an interesting item to most Americans) this entire coiffure or any portion of it may be bought, ready t pin on; which fact solves the problem of either too little natural balr, oi too little time. JULIA BOTTOMLEY- A PICTURE HAT. In leghorn, covered with spotted net, and trimmed with wild (lower and nattier blue velvet rlbbous. Feather Economies. One of the economies which have been adopted in Paris, to some extent, Is the imitation ostrich plume ot vege table silk. This Is designed to repre sent not only the ordinary curled feather, but the uncurled "plcureuse" as well. Though it Is hardly likely to deceive the most credulous, It is quIU effective and costs about one tenth as much as the real article. Another and even prettier schome ll the ostrich plume which is fashioned of lace of the finest and flimsiest de scription. This, ot courso, makes no attempt to deceive any one or eve to look sufficiently like the original to more than suggest It. Still it ll an attractive and piquant Invention which provides a pretty trimming tor a hat, and tor those wbo cannot afford the costly and almost prohibitive os trich plume It makes a satisfactory substitute. w
