V Tho voluminous drap ing lines of the new fur models have proven to be far more becoming than the figure swath ing lines of tho old tight models. Fur lends Itself with charming ef fect to draping. In the model I show you today, on the right, the cloth wrap are un swervingly followed, even though ermine Is tho medium. Tho sleeves are a wide kimono cut, and tho hem is in tho narrow swathing lines that mark all the peg top dressing of tho lat est costumes. If ermine Is beyond your means, suppose you The Canadian Rebellion lly REV. THOMAS H. GHEGOHY. The Canadian rebellion reached its dis astrous closo seventy-six years ago, No vember M, 1S37. The memorable revolt of 1S37 of the plain people of Canada waa akin In spirit and pur pose to the Ameri can revolution of 1776. It was a clash between tho old time feder a 1 1 s m and the spirit of modern democracy, a battln between justice mm in justice Right and w ro n g . tyranny and freedom. The only thing about It that was wrong was its failure. Mackenzie Dolph, Dun combo and Paplneau were moved by the same spirit that fired the hearts of Washington. Jefferson, Adams and Franklin, and the names of the Canadian patriots are as worthy of our reverence as are the names of tho heroes of ITK. The only difference Is, the Canadians failed, while the Americana succeeded. And yet, the patriots of the north failed only In part that Is, for the time being. It has becorao customary." said a Can al.an historian, "for English writers to s' -r over the disorders of 18S7 as the re . ;jts of the Ignorant rabble following the tad advice of the hot-heads, but It !n worth remembering that everything the rabble fought for, and hanged for, has since been Incorporated In Canada's con stitution as the very warp and woof of r-sponsible government." The government of Canada from 1SS0 to lto were gentlemen of the "OH School," who firmly believed that the people hart no rights that they wero bound to re tpct, henoe It came about that "The I-amity Compact," as the aristocratic combine was called, tried to perpetuste o Canadian soil the Infamous condition whk-h the revolutionary war had ousted from the I'nlted Colonies. Markenzs and his compatriots In the west, and Paplneau In the east, under, t- -k to overthrow the oppressive ring r !, and but for lack of proper orgarlza- follow tho slinplo ele gance of this costumo in white plush or velvet. Here Is also a wonder ful dinner gown below that you will also enjoy wearing at the thcator or at an informal danco. Tho foundation is shell pink liberty. Over this Is a wonderful floating gown or shell pink chif fon in broad, lose plaits. Tho bodice is covered, in wide gold laco, which tlon would have succeeded In their righteous attempt. As it was, the patriot force was scattered, first at Toronto, and later at St. Charles Village, Quebec, and the Canadian rebellion was a thing of the past. However, as has been said, Is waa only a temporary failure, for to duy every principle that the revolution ists fought for is a part of the funda mental law of the dominion.

At tho neck this gathers Into the seldom seen simple round decollete. Beneath this lace is a slanting bolt of black velvet. From this falls gold net, laid flat over the entire skirt and daintily embroidered at the bottom. At tho back there are two sash ends of plaited gray chiffon. And for further orna ment the back of the gown has a square collar of gold marten. Olivette. Beauty "Tho girl of today, the American girl, our own New York girl. Is maintaining two very unpleasant characteristics." says Miss Jane Grey, of the "Neartv Married" company. "One Is a purelv physical defect, the other Is mental; but while either of these two predominates, the girl of today can never be wholly charming, "Can anything be more unpleasant to wltnets than the absolutely vacant young girl of today, who invades the doings of the younger set, and who is actuallv offered to us as a type of American girl'' She may be seen In any of the tea rooms In company with more of her kind, or with tho hectic younth. who flourishes In polite society as the American man. and who Is most proficient In spending his fathers hard-earned money. "Notice the aforesaid young woman, and you will very quickly decide that she Is bored with life. Hhe Is one of , a type, and Is too lazy to realize that through a little will power she might become an Individual, Bored, of course she Is bortd. And why should she be otherwise than bored. She Is perfectly conscious of the fact that she la boring other people, too. Her friends never reek her opinion she has none to give; she Is not nUrested n any of them. And when she meets some one who a really worth while, her brain has become so stunted that she has no power to exert herself at all, and is Judged as light and frivolous with no thought on any thing but dress and amusement. "Get out of this rut. girls, and go out Into life with thn Idea that what ever you gve of yourself that same will come back to you. Forget the fact that you ar one of a type. Forget your self, and give your thoughts to other things and other people, ne an Indi vidual. "And now for the physical defect.

There Is rejoicing In Franco over tho tuccess of a young Russian engineer, Igor Elkorticy, who has constructed, n,nd successfully tried In actual flight, a giant biplane, whloh has a "cabin' ' for ten passengers, who are not compelled to remnln Is fixed positions, but can move freely about while thn machine Is cleaving the air.

Tho Hlkorsky machine la a biplane, whose upper supporting surface l larger than tho lower. The span of Itn wings Is nearly nlnoty feet, and tho total support ing surface Is about 1,400 square feet. Its weight Is 6,000 pounds, and It can carry. In addition to two pllotn and a mechanician, ten persons, with pro visions and fuel for twenty hours, with an extra allowance of SS0 pounds for emergencies. It has four motors of the automobile, type, of 100 horso power each, and four Independent screws. During on experi mental flight two of the motors were ar rested, hut the machine continued to fly without difficulty. The largo cabin for passengers is sit uated behind the glats-enclosed pilot house, and during a. flight tho paasen gern con not only move about tn their cabins, but can eve,n go out upon thq front balcony. There- Is another cabin containing a duvln for reposo and sleep, and a passageway running around the outer part of tho ship. In short, It ap pears to be a genuine Jules Verne ma chine fit for a Captain Nemo of the air. Hovorat flights have been made with this machine, the longest of which oc cupied two hours, and was effected at Hjtt average elevation of about 1.M0 feet. It haa flown over the city of 8t.
