Aircraft Prediction by Ken!y
William L. Kenly, former briga
dier general and chief of the air
service and now a private citizen,
makes great predictions regarding the
future of air travel. Ho looks for
ward to the time when the aerial ex
press will he as much a part of life
as the automobile Is now. The aerial
express of the future, he says, will
lie a rigid llghter-than-alr machine.
The gas used will be non-lnlhtmmnble
helium. The novelty he sees Is that
motors and passengers will be en
closed In the bag Itself. This, he says,
will eliminate much resistance and
make possible a speed of IfiO miles
nn hour with entire safety and coin
'fort. This, of course, Is an advance up
on the latest thing In the honvler-thun-air

FABRIC HATS

AS TtlH gorgeous peneook feathers

dainty sisters that are "pure white, so
the colorful lints of early summer are
followed. by replicas In white or In the
palest tints, when .Inly and August
bring their burning skies. These with
other cool looking tnllllnerydo not re
place their predecessors, but are added
to midsummer headwear to be used
when anything that Is cool, nnd looks
cool, Is n refreshing sight. There Ir
nothing like white, and especially pure,
sheer white fabrics, for accomplishing
this purpose. Next to white, combina
tions of white and navy blue, white
nnd blnclc, white nnd beige, or tan,
are depended upon for these crisp hats
that defy the hottest day that comes.
Most of these simple fabric hnts nre
made of organdie, flowered voile,
honey-comb batiste, tnffetn and geor

able and light straw braids. They nre

the kind of wear demanded of them.
The popular ginghams In very small
hecks, plain 'hambrays, or nny of
the medium or lighter weight cottons
used for children's play clothes not
omitting unbleached domestic might
be used for making them. As shown
above, they are Intended fo: the less
strenuous frolics of little ones, for the
clean sands of the bench, for the lawn
or vernndn, but the models are good In
heavier and darker cottons.
The little frock us pictured Is mnde
of white nnd blue printed lawn. The
pretty, old-fnshloned dress has u
straight yoke with body and skirt In
one. guthered to It, the Joining deco
rated with feather stitching. It has u
round neck and short sleeves all fin
ished with a plaited frill of white
lawn. The dress lias four rows of shlr
rlngs at the hack nnd front with
slashes at each side. A sash of lawn
slips under these slashes and this ur
rangement takes care of the waist line.
An adorably quaint sun bonnet Ih
edged with a crochet luce and has ties
of (he material. A little ribbon bow

made of white talTetn and has a brim

n little outline embroidery on the
crown of this hat, done with navy blue
embroidery silk. Two hats of honey

of Itself In the rompers pictured. The

Again Leghorn Hats.
Leghorn hats are again In rather
high favor for summer; but the
tendency Is to have a leghotyi and silk
combination rather than a hat entirely

crown may be used to top a drooping
