It is a difference that cannot be settled one way or the other so long as mourn ing does not signify to some people what it does to others. The wearing of mourning is not a matter of fash ion, but an expression of sentiment, and therefore each person is privileged to decide for himself whether it is fitting and appropriate or not. Mourning hats must always be con servative in size and in style, avoiding all extremes. They require the most exact and painstaking workmanship and are made of distinctive materials. For first mourning crepe, in black or white, is used, and since it is not used for any other kind of apparel it has become the Insignia of mourning. It appears In combination with other silk fabrics in garments and in millinery and is shown here in three of the four hats pictured. One ot these has a medium wide drooping brim and soft, draped crown of black crepe, with brim facing of white crepe. There is a small embroidered flower motif set on the front of the crown as .a trimming. A combination of crepe and dull fin ished silk appears in a toque with flex ible top—crown of crepe and the sides of the shape covered with bias folds of the silk. A flat, symmetrical bow of ribbon makes a trimming in keeping with the precise, even folds and per fectly fitted brim facing.. Another combination of black and qrepe is shown in a narrow-brimmed Shape that has a bandeau at the back. The underbrim and bandeau are cov* ered with the white crepe and the up per brim with black crepe. The soft crpwn is formed by draping one end of a crepe veil over the shape and knotting it at the front. The veil is then caught to the bandeau in the back and falls from there us far as the waist line. Either black or white beads, in a dull finish, are used in mourning millinery. In this hat white ones have been chosen to edge the brim. Grosgraln and other dull-finished silks and ribbons are used for making mourning hats to be worn later than the first period of mourning or by per sons who do not wish to wear crepe. The sailor shape illustrated has its crown entirely covered with loops of grosgraln ribbon. The narrow brim is covered with silk and serves to sup port a wide border made of rows of ribbon set about It with spaces be tween them. Georgette crepe and malines are used in hats for mourning wear—and any other materials that have the right sort of surface. Crepe is usually replaced, after a short period, by hats of these other ma terials. Youthful Riding Habit for Fall TEN LIVES LOST IN GREAT AIRCRAFT RACE Mineola, N. Y., Oct 18.—The grim spectre of death winged its tragic flight with the army’s great trans continental air derby. Ten lives had been the toll to the time Lieutenant Maynard crossed the finish line. Seven had died actually in the contest and three in connection with it. From New York to San Francisco the route of the flight was dotted with disabled planes which were forced to land and quit the race, or crashed to destruction from the air. Many fliers were injured, and the twenty control stations between terminal points saw first aid work from day to day as the derby progressed. # Sixty-two contestants started the -big rac,e—the most adventurous peace ful undertaking the world has known. Only seven took the air from Mineola and fifteen from San Francisco on chaniciaa, were killed when their plane crashed in landing at Buena Vista Field', Salt Lake City, and Ser geant W. H. Nevltt, mechanician (or Colonel Gerald C. Brandt, died from injuries sustained in the smash of the Brandt plane at Deposit, N. Y.' Lieutenant E. V. Wales died on Fri- day^ciqbfl-jo, from iniiiriea received ^ A simultaneous starts from Mineola and air for the start, two aviators had met their deaths while on the way to par ticipate in the contest. At Bustleton Field, Colorado, Townsend F. Todd, fell to his death on Sunday while mak ing ready to fly to Mineola. The day before Major Patrick Frissel was kill ed in the wreck of his machine near Port Jervis. On the first day of the race three more met their end. and five machines were wrecked. Major Dana H.

L Sneed's plane, was killed when the machine crashed in landing at Curtiss Field, Buffalo. Lieutenant French Kirby was in stantly killed when his plane fell near Castle Rock, Utah, last Wednesday, and Lieutenant Stanley C. Miller, his observer, died shortly afterward. Lieu tenant Cameron Wright was killed at the landing field at St. Paul, Neb., when a plane in which he went up as passenger dropped out of a tailsplng 200 feet up and was demolished. The great race was marked by many incidents of interest. With virtually hour limit, they said. Army air ser vice authorities computed Smith’s ac tual flying time, however, at 30 min utes better than Maynard’s. At North Platte, Neb., Lieutenant Maynard and Captain Smith met, land ing within five minutes of each other, the first fliers to greet each other from east and west. 1 -BWll Had tJKBirtiynfg' Lieutenant Maynard’s arrival, Satur day, Oct. ,11, at the Pacific terminal was followed in two hours by word that 'Major Carl Spats and Lieutenant E. C. Kield had reached the Atlantic terminal within half a minute of each other. Captain Lowell H. Smith then followed with a claim to first place in actual flying time. Maynard’s actual flying time from Mineola to San Francisco consumed little over 25 hours, and the flying time of Spatz and Kiel came within the 2*1- at a rate of close to two miles a min ute. Maynard led his field by a gen erous margin but Smith was hotly pur sued by Major Spatz and Lieut. Kiel. On the return journey the “flying parson’’—Maynard—got away from San Francisco handily a day or bet ter in advance of Kiel, Smith and Spatz at Mineola He winged It fast and furiously, allowing himself no more than the required 30-minute stops at control stations. The snapping of a crank shaft with in forty miles of Omaha, day before yesterday, held him back. He worked on repairs all night and yesterday climbed igto the air again and headed “home”.

For prices have mounted rapidly—but we have mark ed these suits and overcoats at the old level upon which they Were bought, $25.00 to $65.00. Of all seasons of the year autumn is the most alluring to the woman or girl who rides horseback; cool, bright days, without the fickleness of spring or the heat of summer, a world arrayed in gorgeous colors and air that stimulates and caresses, make it a joyous time for horse and rider. Some of the riding habits for fall seem to Interpret the season In their colors and texture. The bronzes and browns of oak leaves are translated into warm, rough fabrics that give a sense of comfort for frosty mornings. A youthful model in a riding habit for fall is shown In the picture above. It is made of a heavy, rough-surfaced cloth, tweed apparently, in a brown check. The coat sets snugly with a flaring skirt that is quite full in the back and Is shorter than usual. It has flap pockets and fastens with three buttons at the front below narrow revers. The riding breeches that but ton below the knee do not reveal any change In style. A tan skirt with soft collar, and a brilllant-hued, foar-in« hand tie contribute their share to a costume that is beyond reproach. The soft felt hat has a high crown and brim that rolls upward. Brown leather boots and heavy kid gloves In the same color are Items that put the fluishiug touches to this well-tumed-out habit. There are several weaves in sturdy woolens that are represented In each season’s showings of habits. For older women plain cloths make the best choice, and covert cloths or whipcord always prove reliable. Brown and dark blue are favored colors. Black and white In small checks always has a following in spring and summer and makes a snappy outfit with black boots and hat But when one has a single habit that must serve the year round a plain dark color is altogether better than anything else.
