1 STORY OF A MIRACLE
j Wonderful Marks Placed Up
on Girl In an Irish Convent While Sleeping.
BY HERBERT TEMPLE.
. London, Dec. 2. A little over two
years ago I happened to be stand-! lng near Mr. Lloyd George one day during the arlatlon week at Rhelms when aviation waa still an unknown quantity, and heard him exclaim while watching the mechanical birds hovering over the grain fields of Bethany: "I wish that such a spectacle might also be seen In England." Almost In the same breath he added: "And why not?" I Imagine Salisbury Plain would prove as suitable an aerodrome aa thla " ., , i The chancellor's wish has now been in great part realised. Salisbury Plain Is indeed, developing into one . of the most Important aviation cen- ' ters of Oreat Britain. Flying machines are seen dally soaring over the vast meadows that extend from Bulford Camp to Knighton Down and the pic- . turesque old road to Devises. The ' Bristol Aeroplane company have established a flying school here, and other, aviators are also at work with their ' aeroplanes. What is still more Important Is that the plain has' been deflnitely selected by the war office as the headquarters of the aeroplanUts of the army air corps. FaVnborough is to continue as the principal station for airships but the work of training the army officers and : sappers to handle the heavier than air machines will be mainly carried out on the great, plain near Amesbury. I am Informed that a company of the Royal Scots will' shortly encamp near the war office flying ground and that eight new sheds will be erected, bringing the total of hangars to sixteen. ' Therein will be housed the Paulhan
and Farman - biplanes and the twoseated Blerlot monoplanes ordered
from France by the government.
The most valuable feature of the
army aerodrome here is that it of
fers one of the most extensive course available in this country. The circuit
m.inr BO miles, ana there Is ex
cellent ground for aviators to alight
in safety. An extraordinary story of a miracle m renorted from Dublin of a child in
Kiltimagh convent, being marked by
tho Kvmbols of the passion. A giri.
aged thirteen, so the story goes, has bon a boarder in the convent for
ih mast three or four years. She Is
described as a docile, affectionate child, and Is a great favorite with the
nuns.
About three weeks ago one of the sisters heard the child screaming during the night and when she questioned her the girl told her she had a fearful dream In which she saw rhriat on the cross and a soldier driv
ing a lance Into his side. The nun
comforted the child wno leu asieep.
In the morning the child complained
that her wrist and arms were sore.
On examination it was found that her forearm was marked with a cross In red. Underneath the cross were the
letters "I. II. S."
A few days later there appeared below the letters a crown of thorns.
Two or three days later there appear
ed above the cross letters surrounded by a scroll. A few days subsequently there appeared beneath the crown of thorns a chalice surmounted by a host sending forth rays in red; and after the same oeriod there appeared a flow-
er shaped drawing near which was
written the word "Lily. The marks extend from the wrist to the upper arm, and have been examined by a number of physicians. A remarkable feature of the occurence Is that at 3 p. m., on Friday the stigmata bled copiously. A careful Inquiry Is being instituted by the religious authorities, who, while admitting the strikingly wonderful nature of the phenomena, refrain at present from any expression of opinion as to the origin. The doctors who have seen the marks are quite positive that they are not self-inflicted. '
FASHION'S EADS AND FANCIES

It will take just half a million dollars a year to transform England

fashion are attempting to force a return to the decidedly ugly styles of
the early seventies. At the races some of the living models costumed by certain houses wore gowns that might have.stepped out of that unpictures-, que period. One splendidly tall woman, evidently chosen because her lines did the greatest Justice to the mode, walked about conspicuously In a dark blue satin and velvet costume with a -tie-back" sash oversklrt winding closely about her hips and falling in long, velvet-bordered ends to the bottom of the skirt. "With this skirt was worn s real basque, the veritable old-fashioned basque, fitted with seams, molded to the figure, and reaching about six Inches below the waist line. Under a line of handsome frogs and buttons it closed neatly at the throat The sleeves , set closely Into small armholes, were long and tight. Another costume, black and prettier, but still of the same period, showed the round-waisted corsage, with the three seams at the back. A bertha of fine Breton lace was draped about the shoulders and a wide red moire ribbon sask was folded-about the slender waist and tied in the back In a stiff bow with three loops, with hanging long ends. The full, short skirt was finished with a band of skunk fur. Fur mantles, too. indicate backward trend of fashion, with their long points behind coming nearly to the end of the skirt and Square fichu-like tabs in front. Short round capes just to the waist line are among the new modes. , Powdered tulle or net with chalk or milk-white beads is the very latest fashionable fad. Beadwork Is the craze of the moment, and is to be seen in pale pink and other colors, either on black mousseline overdresses or on light-colored evening gowns. More often than not the colored beadB are employed in the same trimming the effects is somewhat barbaric, but it cannot be denied that in many cases the effect produced is decidedly picturesque. The women In Paris are solving the problem of turning an ordinary linen or silk blouse into something ornate enough for theater dinners, or other such ocaslons when elaborate dress is not called for. by passing a bead transparency of black tulle over a light-colored waist. The slips of black tulle are easy to procure, easy to adjust, and make an effective half evening toilette for the theater or for dining at a restaurant Panne is a favorite material for winter waists, and these over-blouses of black mousseline, beaded elaborately, veil them very charmingly. These blouses also veil velvet waists, richly embroidered in beads. Very beautiful are the bead embroideries. In dazzling colors veiled, with the mousseline, which at once subdues the brilliancy of their hues and prevents them from ca telling other fabrics, .';.-.-' One of the novelties of- tfie season In materials is a double-faced fabric, which offers greaJissibilitles and promises to become extremely popular. It is on one side a'foautjful cloth, on the other a lustrous satin. This means that the dresmaker can use both surfaces with wonderful effect. A' bodice of this fabric can be made of cloth, and the deep Louis revers. so muctiMn favor just now, can be formed of the same cloth, merely turned back from the front line. This material enables a deep hem on the skirt to be made by a quick turning up of the gopds. Sleeves can be faced, or edged with bands that are of- contrasting material, but are really of nothing but the back of the goods.
