Flights of fancy these clothes may be, but they surely foretell flights In the air. Already women of the older countries have enjoyed the novel sensations of fly ing through the upper atmosphere. You Kay, be quite sure that the women of this country will not be far behind. Enthu !am only waits ou opportunity, and when opportunity comes then everything must be ready. So the various merits of cloths and fur. are being weighed, design, care folly gone over with her tailors, and all the latest novelties which Ingenuity can suggest Inspected and selected.

Soft, tanned leather Is con. side red warmer than auede, so these gloves are .of leather, lamb's wool lined. Some times a fur lining is used, but lamb's wool la the warmer. Goggles there are of many designs to protect the eyes when rushing through the air on an aeroplane. Here you will sit on a little seat and face the wind squarely, so the face as well as the eyes must be protected. Built just for this purpose are the goggles shown In the sketch lettered "H." Not very beautifying, perhaps, but tbey shield the face perfectly, and tbe upper !.- is not so Inhabited as yet that you need fear to meet your dearest foe there. As a mnitcr of fact, you and your aeronaut will probably have things all to yourself, and be will be much too taken up running his machine to notice whether you are hideous or tbe reverse. Queer goggles come from France, made of solid pieces of metal, with Infinitesimal silts through which you would Imagine It quite Impossible to see at alL But so cleverly are they , cut that tbe whole sur rounding landscape may be seen through these tiny apertures. But these art not especially dealgned for air shipping; and would be cold things to wear. Don't for get when you make your ascent to take a atlck of that- queer paste, which rubbed over tbe gloss of year gqggles keeps them free from moisture. Tou will pass through plenty of damp atmosphere, and fogged glasses won't add to your enjoyment of the scene, " .

Hoods of woven Angora wool are also worm and comfortable.

His a novelty really designed for the wheel of an automobile, but can be qutte as readily Atted to the Wheel of an airship and It Is absolutely oew. Xou may see what It look, like if you glance at the gkotch marked "G." Made of leather, fur lined. It Is put together In sections and fastens with "snappers," so that it can be quickly and easily takeo off or put on. Attached to It are two gauntlet-shaped pieces through which the aero naut's hands slip. These, too, are cosily lined with fur. So, no matter how low the temperature, the wheelmau's hands are protected and the wheel turns easily In side. 8klrts are better discarded when alr shlpplng Is sttempted. No doubt later we shall have airships quite aa luxurious as our private yachts. Then we. shall ascend , by elevator to our roof and step Into a winged ship which will enrry us to dinner or dauce. But Just now alr-shlp-plng Is in its Infancy. It is a thing of venture and of sport. So be content. Just now. with your entrancing little knlckerbocker suits or your Eskimo fur garments. If you Insist on "the eternal feminine," why, wear a chiffon veil. But be sure it Is water-proofed aud welt tied down. Your aeronaut would not relish a flying end swishing across bis face at a critical moment. What Love Means Hr over ls Do you know what it means? Not In the dictionary, but In tbe hearts of ns who are still old-fssbloned enough to believe In' It. and to believe that this dresry old world has love and to spare for humanity yet 1 It means the little head cuddled against tbe mother breast, v It means that which bore with ns through years of folly, sod pain, and unwisdom. The one who always forgave, even when .we hurt ber tbe most. It means the one woman "tike mother" to be ourl, from out the whole world, till death does ns part. " It means that which lightens toll, sweet ens poverty, divides our trouble and shares ear joy, and makes our life worth the llv mtv'.lt means that which mark for 0r with perennial youth - snd- beauty - the ent shoulders, tbe faded eyes, the wrinkled cheek; the toll-hardened hand and the halting feet. .. .''.. ,.-v :
