'y dressmaking, and some of the iVr.-t models for hiT frocka are in contrast to the simpler de- t shown earlier In the season, yet i lutviug the dictates of good sense i;2J youthful requirements at the i2X'f time. Any ro:t, Inexpensive fabric could be uso.l for the design pictured today. Gauged about the waistline under a belt of lt3 own material stitched with Valenciennes, the skirt is trim- AN ELABORATE SUMMER DRESS, med with Insertion of Valenciennes and ruffles of Imitation Cluny. Tha Cluny lace la soft and rich looking and makes a more effective trimming for very dressy frocks tnan combi nations of Valenciennes and embrold. ery. The Imitation trimming, too, la less, expensive, than much of the v.nhrojdery used for such, purposes, I'hvi blouse waist too, is joined to skirt, giving the dress the pre Ung one-piece effect. Bands of lenclennet and a border of Cluny e trim the round neck, which 1 ; away sufficiently to expose th aroat. The sleeves are elbow length trimmed' with Valenciennes and Oufl. Little., rosettes, of. satin, rib bon added to the yoke, sleeves and bolt, back and front, make pretty de tails. It Is seldom that all over em broidery la used to better advantage than In thla French seashore gown. he skirt Is made with a tunic of the embroidery, mounted on a petti coat of soft handkerchief linen trim med with two broad tucks on either side of a wide fold of embroidered wash net set in at the bottcm. The heightened waistline is ac centuated by a girdle of tucked lin en and the blouses trimmed with folds of the same material stitched about the square neck. The linen folds are stltcaed under fine linen FROCKS OF FRENCH DESIQON. soutache and the guimpe is of coarse net simply ornamented with polka dots of mercerized linen. Under u:eevea of plain net fall to the elbow and have rather close-fitting cuffs formed of sereral layers of knife plaited net. It la one of the Iron-clad rules of fashion that skirts bang softly and gracefully, and If there Is a single note of uniformity In the wide ra- rieiy of skirts, this Is It. Gowns of this kind are worn with the softest and least assertive petit coats possible, for which nainsook, China silk and even par linen are the favorite fabrics. AJtbough designed as mid-summer frocks, these models might be made of material that would render them serviceable until 1st in the fall. The model tn pale blue linen, with trim mings of morcerUed cretonne Is ex quistte. it takes tn fashionable prlncesse form, the upper part of tfce coinage being made of cretonne, while bands of plain dark blue llneu ornament the, bottom of the ak'rt. The yoke, and under sleeves, are of sheer embroidered linen, and, c!os3 fltting over-sleeves, of cretonne fall over tbem. The, yok. and over sleeves tnd also focl with dark blue linen and there Is a tiny suspicion of an Empire vest In the same trim- MP LOOK WELL IN Sl'MMER. ming, finished with buttons and lin en pendant trimmings. Completing the costume Is a hat In natural straw trimmed with flow ers in light and dark shades of corn flower blue, and waving aigrettes. Th s-.ecend frock Is a checked vo'.le, accompanied by a coat In plain taffetas trimmed with heavy lace end silk soutache braid. The coat is curved Into the lines of the figure, though not close-fitting, the sides be ing clashed find connected by little folds of silk with fancy buttons at either end. The dress !s trimmed with bands of plain slik, matching the coat, vhlle the blouse bodice has stitch Ings of the same material, Inset with medallions of embroidered grass lin en. Every woman of fashion realizes how vastly Important Is the matter of properly cut and fitted lingerie in these days of princesses and one piece fi jcks. A splendid example of what is correct In lingerie Is given here, the combination corset cover and pantelettes being made of the softest nainsook, trimmed with beading, tucks, Valenciennes Inser tion and fine embroidery. Ribbon must not be omitted from the list of decorations, and although there Is not a great deal of any one kind, the LINGERIE FOR FROCKS, combination makes a lovely bit of underwear. The garment Is fitted for the figure with groups of hand run tucks,. The pantelettes are quite full enough to obvifete the necessity of wearing a short petticoat, and It Is wise to wear as little underwear as possible under a tight-fitting gown cut In one piece. Fashionable lin gerie Is expensive because it has been developed to such a degree that It requires skill In the making as well as do gowns. The novice who for merly ;or.tented herself with linger ie pulled In with strings at the waist line, clumsy with folds or shirred ful ness anu punctuated here and there with little bumps of tape-knots, finds herself miserably out of proportion unless the new way of dressing un derneath Is adopted. The Baby's Education. A lady who Is an expert on baby culture, stated at the toy exhibition In London that play was a means of a baby's mental growth. When It dropped Its ball or rattle twenty times running, and then threw It down for tae .1st time, It was learn ed something though the tired par ent might not think so. When the baby carried Its plaything to tts month it was not because the- baby wanted to suoh something, but be cause Instinct told It to learn by touch the natur? of things. .

Th present Government tests of nlrshlps of va rious types will servo to bring promi nently before the public the functions and personnel of the tmv.est and otn of the most Interesting brandies of the I'nlted States army the Balloon Squad.

If this nntion Is to overcc:ro the long leal rlnady gained by France, Germany and Great Britain In military aeronaut l s. The Balloon Sqcad Is a branch of the I'nlted States Slsnal Corps. For r. number of years brlloorlng has been regarded In military rln lea, r.s an essential adjunct to the signal work of the army, but Americans have been unaccountably tarjy in exploit ing Its possibilities. Picturesque Indeed, were the cir cumstances which finally aroused the Yankee officers to action. The spark that Bet Interest and energy aflame In this direction was the win ning of the first international bal loon race by Lieut. Frank P. Lahm. That young American army officer, barely twenty-eight years of age and almost a novice In the work, should defeat the most experienced aero nauts of Europe and win a decisive victory in what was, up to that time, the greatest arelal sporting event the word had ever seen, could not help but kindle the patriotism and the aeronautic interest of his fellow of ficers at home and abroad. The outcome of the sentiment thus aroused was the Issuance of an or der creating the Aeronautical Divis ion of the Signal Corps. It was ar ranged to get out of storage the sev eral balloons of foreign make which had been bought by the United States during the Spanish war and hud been In storage ever since, and It was decided that the headquarters of the new activities should be at a "bal loon house" at Fort Myer, Va., Just across the Potomac from Washing ton, and where the progress could bo closely watched by the administra tive officials of the War Department. It Is the expectation that ere many months elapse a second detachment of the Aeronautic division will be or ganized at Fort Omaha, Neb., where the government Is now building a model balloon house and Is Install ing what It Is hoped to be the most up-to-date plant in the world for the manufacture of the hydrogen gas used for the Inflation of balloons. The baloonlsts at Fort Myer have the care of all the balloons owned by the War Department. These include a French balloon of 9,000 cubic feet capacity, which was bought during the Spanish War; a balloon, 26,000 cubic feet capacity, of German man ufacture, which was acquired at the Tame time; the famous Balloon No. 10, of 76,000 cubic feet capacity, which was built especially for the Signal Corps by Leo Stevens and three small balloons of German man ufacture, 400 cubic feet capacity each, which are Intended primarily for signal work but which are prov ing very useful at Fort Myer as re serve reservoirs for the storage of a surplus supply of hydrogen during the Inflation of the big balloons. Uncle Sam's establishment Is pret ty well equipped, In addition to a vast array of such standard adjuncts as ballast bags, anchors, baskets and the like, there are Instruments for registering the lifting power of a gas bag and for testing the quality of the gas In use. One lngenlus me chanical assistant la an apparatus, operated by turning a crank, which Inflates a balloon with air bo that It may be tested for leaks or to facili tate repair work. For the time being the hydrogen gas used as the lifting medium In the dirigible and all other balloons is manufactured at a temporary plant at Fort Myer, but ultimately all the gas required for army balloon opera tions anywhere in this country will be manufactured at the Fort Omaha plant and will be shipped wherever needed in tanks somewhat resem bling, save for their larger size, the gas tanks used in connection with soda water fountains. - Tha balloon squad has its regular drills Just as do other branches of the military service. The most Im portant of these has for Its object the inflation; of a balloon. 10,000 Wed from One School. Cincinnati, Ohio.
