Isnt this a chic little cbapoau on the left for early fall? It Is of white satin, or supple felt, and is a "flower-pot" shape, with a band of self-matorlal finishing at the edge. Draped about the high crown is black velvet. Two wide loops flare up in front, and a softer loop descends across the crown. The home milliner will find this hat very easy ta. copy and the expenso won't be very great. Twenty fire cents for the flower-pot foundation shape, a dol lar for tho yard of satin and. a dollar and a halt for a yard of black velvet cut on'.tho bias. This: velvet may be cut in throe strips, which can bo ptitched to gether invisibly. Another quartor for millinery wire nnd lining, and for three dollars you have, a smart and unusual llttlo "first" hat. Tho evening gown of palo lemon brocade Is 'rather startling without transgressing tho limits of good taste. The gowji itself takes the form of a princess dress cut with blouslng waist and fish-tail train. Tho top part of tho bodico io.a dainty kimono of fine malino laco -and ivory chiffon. Under thin shimmers a palo apricot ribbon which 1b laid across tho chest and under tho arms, Over tho dress and joining the "V" neck Is a long coat of palest apricot chiffon, which falls to tho bottom of the skirt with no opening for the arms. This cape-coat is edged with an applique of dull gold and pink roses, with leaves of green gold. Under this trimming the chiffon coat tightens into a few folds at tho back. Behold a hat, on tho right, that the "home mil liner' can never hope to manufacture! Of tote du negre velvet Is the smart shape which scoops over milady's right! eye, turnB smartly up at the left side and tho back and arranges itself in a soft, "near1 Tarn q Shantor crown. And of tho same wonderful Bmoky, dark brown shade is the great cascading spray of paradise, that extends across the back. The price? Oh, it can bp done for 150, if milady does not demand too generous a mass of the frothy para dise In her crown! t St Ily LILIAN LAUKERTV. I used to wonder If the man who wrote "Oh, You Great. Big, Beautiful Doll" had visions of Louise Dresser the while tho mus burned but that was before I nan aiKca 10 iiouiso Dresser. For no great biff,, beautiful dolt la the stunning blond Louise, but a sane, thoughtful and altogether very womanly woman. "Be auty is a somewhat over-rated asset of the femlntne bank account," said Miss Dresner In answer to my plea; for "se crets." "Whenever any one starts a dis cussion of It, I think of a friend from the west, who went abroad to feast her eyes on the beauties of Westminster Abbey and the Italian lakes, and all the eager little knowledge seekers In her home town kept writing to her t6 be sure to find out the latest methods of flesh re duction and hair retention and com-1 plexlon beautlflcatlon. Well. I believe In comfort-c-o-m-f-o-r-t and health and calmness and living one day at a time and charm of manner; nnd If out of that combination beauty does not Just natur ally evolve, fomenting Is radically wrong with tho woman who Is practicing my five cardinal virtues."' Miss Dresser wan donning, the Arverne sack of rtuth Snydor, the charming steno grapher, who delights "Potash nnd Perl mutter" and the audiences up at Cohan's theater and with a flnnl settling flirt of the big butterfly black hat, she herself settled down to pay strict attention to ma and beauty. "Let's discuss your five cardinal points one extra for that compass, but It seems to have a magnetlo south of loveliness." "All right," said obliging Miss Dresser. We begin with my very pet hobby- comfort C-O-M-K-O-It-T. Please have that put In the biggest type , there la fqr It Is so Important. Comfortable shoes no more strained expressions that say as plainly aa possible: 'Oh, tf I only last till I get home and Into .my comfortable allpperst' Now, why not wear comfort ablo shoes all the time your feet will only bulge out Bomowhere If thoy are compressed Into triple A when they yearn for the sanctuary of a C, Comfortable clothes no choking collar bands or waist bands or stiff, strattjacket corsets. when a Pliable 'tricot' will so much bet ter keep tho natural line of the figure with the somewhat sloppy look tho av erage woman gets when she tries to ap pear absolutely uncorseted. Your dis position wilt be sweeter If you have not the achlngly painful Irritation of clothes that bind and too strongly remind you of their existence. Your expression will bo more charming, your general health will reach' a higher standard and you will be 00 much better 'ablo to enjoy life and meet trouble with a smile If you will just do away with the handicap of phy sical discomfort. "The clothes of today may be Im- taodest when they fall Into the power of the woman who used to matte tne tailor made suit suggestive, but properly designed and worn they are lovely, graco- ful, .modest and, comfortable. filled with hydrogen. It would be Im possible for any balloon, no matter how light and $uoyaht Its. gas, fo escape from the shell of atmosphere thftt-eurrounds the earth, and which, at a height of 100 miles becomes so rare that It Is' prac tically insensible. I know that some persons think that If a balloon could be made to rise with, so gpcat rapidity as to reach the upper limit of the atmosphere, it would then continue to move, with the momentum acquired by Its ascent, out into space,' and would go on uninterrupted because the resistance of the air would be gone. But this Is a wrong notion. If we could give to a projectile a velocity of about seven miles per second, tliert we could shoot It straight up from the earth and cause it to escape from the earth's attraction. But the highest velocity that could be given to a balloon with any gas whatever would bo Incom parably less- than .this. Moreover,4 the velocity would rapidly decrease as the balloon cot Into the rare atmosphere n, few miles up, because. Its buoyancy wouW depend upon the relative Weight of the gas as compared with that of the sur rounding air, and the latter becomes rarer until It practically ceases to exist. The balloon then would come to rest, being unable ever to get out of ths atmosphere. In the present state of science the only tolutlon of the problem of navigating space appears to bo indicated by the property of electric repulsion. If a car could be construcetd bearing an electrlo charge, opposite in kind to that ofj.the earth, then perhaps it could be made to tty away In spite of gravitation, and If the repulsive force ou!d. be caused to act continuously It might go .as far as the moon, or farther. But this is only the statement of an Idea. Wo have no means of making such an electrically charged car, ' and the charge that would be required la so enor mous that its production seem Impossi ble. Then, of course, there are other Im mense difficulties In the way. It Is suf fleJent to gtato only one of them. We cannot, live without breathing that mix turo of' oxygen and nitrogen which we call air. If a man undertook to, cross the airless space between the earth and the moon he" would have to carry with him some substitute for air, to say noth ing of the cargo of eatables and drink ables that he woijld require! Yet I personally have little doubt that If humanity continues for thousands of years to make progress In its knowledge of the laws and forces of nature com parable with what It has made Jn the last 100 years andjn continuation of the same, the problem "of human flight In open space will be solved But It will not be solved by the use of any gas, how ever "buoyant, ' . The new gas, however If a new gas such ta Is described has really been found may add immensely to the possibilities of flight within the limits of tho atmos phere. A relatively small vessel contain ing such a gas would possess the lifting power of a large balloon without present' lng as great a surface to the wind, and it might easily be employed as an ac cessory to the aeroplane, enabling tha latter to rise more directly and to ride the air more steadily, There would be no danger of a fall with an aeroplane furnished with receptacles containing a gas slxteon times lighter than hydrogen. Then, too, the planes might be made smallerand more manageable, while the lifting power which many Inventors have been trying to obtain by vertically act lng air-screws would be readily supplied. f City Boarders ' By WILLIAJI P.

If you nro comfortable- nnd healthy yovt can easily cultivate calmness, and If you are calm' you won't let yourself get flustered and' flurried about what happened yesterday or may happen tomorrow.

A certain, little girl whoso father Is necessary away from homo a great deal found the following letter from him un der her plate this morning: "You ask my consent to your marriage with John. Since you were old enough to climb on my lap and whisper a desire In my ear I havo given you everything you longed for. I see my mistake, for now,, when you ask for something I should refuse. I know that the power of refusal Is beyond me. "L know that you ask me as a matter of form: that should I say no you will do as you hase dona for years; laugh at my refusal, and then proceed as It pleases you. "This Is my fault. I am not blaming you, my child. I have never taught you to InvesUgate, to reason, or to consider tho consequences. When I knew your own way would not be but for you, I have weakly let you have It. and then have thrust myself between you and tho pun ishment that came afterward. "In this case I cannot do that Have you thought of that? "So I say In tho beginning that I will glvo my 'consent to your marriage with John If you Insist, but I wonder at your lgnoransce (or bravery) In dreaming of going away from your home with a man you have known less than six months, and then chiefly through correspondence. "You know that he la good looking, Is of pleasing manners, generous to a fault with his money, and that you love him. You will marry him and go with him to e. strange town, and you do not ksow what his standing in that town Is, "You do not know it he Is considered in his home town the kind of a man a respectable girl cares to go with; you do not know If he Is good to his mother; if his business prospects entitle him to as sume the support of a wife. "You do not know what his habits arc He may drink, gamble, loaf, and be ad dicted to the company of those who blaxe the primrose-path, but cf this you know notbinc. You ax sot making aa much effort to learn something of the char acter of the man who wants to bo. your partner tor Ufo as your mother makes in finding out about tho maid, whose stay will not be longer than six months, '.'You know nothing whatever about him, yet you are anxious to go away from your comfortable home to risk a leap in the dark, landing only the good Lord knows where. . "Your mother and I have never let you take a trip as far at ten miles from home without assurance of who would meet you at the end, and how you would fare. This Is a trip for life, and we aro powerless to protect you. "You must throw up your safeguards, my dear. We have let you have your own sweet, unreasoning and unreason able way too many years to protest now. We hava brought you up to the- habit of your own way. We want you to have It now if it Is for your happiness, but we want you to be sure, that It Is. "Love is all thero Is In lUo, my dear.

We don't want you to come back In a few months with every hope, every faith In life and lova fof mankind trailing in .the dust, "I give my consent, of course, realising that If I refused It you would marry without It, but I am going to put It straight up to you to be sure in 'your own heart that you want it.
