The statement has Just appeared In
print that. owing- to the discovery, by lr
William Ramsay or a gas sixteen ximos
lighter than hydrogen. M may become
possible to send a.
baUoon from t the
eaHh to the nioon
or 'to other 'planets.
It this could bo
done It would be
thejmpst wonderful

plished by matt. A
voyage to the moon
would be an ex

iiit the reasoning on which the state
ment ,ls based Is enUrely erroneous, and
theact'that It Is credited to a "scientist"
only shows how Ignorant the majority
even of educated people are of the real
dlf'fjcullies to be overcome before a

This seems a good occasion for show

be mad'eprovided', thfct we had the

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

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."'

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.

taodest when they fall Into the power

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.

City Boarders
' By WILLIAJI P. K1IWC
The city boarders hurry now to hamlet and to lako ' ,
To Bit and' gccslp on a porch or In a boat to bake.
The natives look them o'er in a bashful' sort ot'way,
And hang on every syllable the city boarders say. -1
The nr.tives love enllghtenmont, and now, for many a week
They'll hear these pearls of wisdom that tho city boardors' speak:
"I should worry!" . .."V
" What do you mean, you lost your dog?" .
"Snooky Ookums!" . ..
The people' in tie country would remain in darkness dense
Except for city boardors with their vast experience.
The poor, benighted natives have no better sebpol to reach.
Than listening to -wise folk who are more than glad to teach,'
The poor, benighted natives! What a .great and glorious treat
( To learn these clever sayings that tho city chaps repeat;
"Snooky Ookums!"
"What do you moan, you lost your dog?"

Beauty
Corsctlcss, Collarlcss Comfort as a Real Aid to
Beauty Discussed by Miss Louise Dressef
"Krom comfort to health Is a simple
step, with outdoor life nnd ponnlbty
chosen food to aid and abet In the search
for presenvatlon of health. 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. You will learn
to just live ono day at a time and get nil
the joy and work and sweotness posslbla
In and out of tho day.
"Then, with the first four points mas
tered, you will feel so young and happy
and 'springy' Instead of all shaken down
Into a rut that It won't bo a very diffi
cult taek to cultivate charm of manner.
And that Is the greatest aid to beauty I
know. You never realise that a plain look-
lng woman Is almost lovely if she U
charmingly courteous and aympathetlo
and sweet-mannercdly unconscious of her
self and interested In you. Charm of .man
ner and becoming clothes bring out a
clear complexion or cast a merciful glow
over a dull one and a homely woman
sometimes manages to look more attrac
tive than her pretty sister, who Is wear
lng tho particular color that made soma
other girl she knows look smart, but that
Is guaranteed to make her look -her
worst." .
Try the three . "C's" Comfort, color
ntudy and charm for the acquisition of the
big B-that is for beauty. It will really
pay you to try, for Louise .Dreser, lec
turer, -practises cxactjy, .what she

A Iletter to IVIary
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
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.
I hava been happy too many yeara In
-. a
the ' lovo . of your moth'or 'to decry it
But, when I courted her. It was with her
fathor'a permission, after- proving to that
worthy gentleman's satisfaction' that 1
was of good moral habits, stood well in
my home town, had ho past to conceal
and was .willing and able to. support her
In every luxury she hod enjoyed In her
home. Wo had known each other flv
years, and were engaged two years.
"We want you to Jove, to bo loved, and
to marry. But we want, more than
this, for "you (o marry so happily you
will stay married. 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.
"It is up to you. Shall I order ths
wedding cake as I ordered the doll you
cried for when a child, or will you maks
him, proYo.hls worthiness first?''
