Of course, all of these gloves have gaunt
let tops, for the wind whistles shrill and
cold b'.gh up In the air, and baa a borrid
tendency to explore Into any cracks In
your attire. Soft, tanned leather Is con.

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

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

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

critical moment.
What Love Means

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
