Mrs. Jenness Miller and her colaborers
who have been teaching US so enthusiastic
ally grace OF body and Of gowns may as
well remit their exertions, for now comes
the latest aud most learned physiculturist
to assure US on his word of honor that the
possession Of a perfect figure is we'll nigh,
perhaps quite impossible with a woman,
nerved by the courage that is born OF des-
peration, casts off skirts entirely. No use
20 speak TO him of unseen, divided com
promises. Prof. Chsckley, to whose classes
flock fashionable maid and matrons, and
whose methods there Is talk Of the New
York Academy Of Medicines indorsing,
was telling me this morning that the unfelt,
unnoticed influence Of long draperies is
something TO which nobody has ever yet
paid adequate attention.
You can't get, be says. woman to turn
out her toes. Women toe in or they set the
feet straight, parallel with the direction in
which they are walking. A woman who
toes out properly, that is at an angle of
sixty degrees, is many times rarer than a
white crow. The habitual turning in OF the
toes cramps the pelvis and tends to knock
kneedness, aud by what is it causedi BY
skirt wearing, by the constant, gentle
pressure Of draperies against the limbs All
motion tends TO take the direction of least
resistance, and without the constant inter-
vsntion of the will the feet are influenced
insensibly by the skirts touch; they form
the habit Of turning away from it, so plant
ing themselves that it will not interfere
WITH them, that is toeing in. This is scien-
tihc, but as matters stand with US what can
we do except,
"Snbmit, submit:
lis common sense, and mother wit
Can find no better word than it;
Submit submit"

brought her TO the city, and who Is giving
receptions in her honor, introducing her

Central American States and most OF the BTU
sb islands in the West Indies are ready ana
anxious to do. The propriety of our position
in insisting that nation which buys S2oo'-
OOO. 600 of their produce is entitled to receive
more of their custom than S91,000,OOO in re-
turn is nowhere questioned. Not only upon
grounds Of interest but of policy and natural
svmpathy these sister republics prefer to direct
their trade toward the ports and markets OF a
nation politically organized in harmony with
the idea of free government rather than to
those where royalties and ariStocracy still i'm
pede the progress of liberty. In furthering
these relations the Government has taken the
first step and has done much. 1t can do more,
but craftsmanship is only equal TO the task
of opening the way for trade by friendly inter
course and profitable treaties. 1t cannot put
carcoes into ships nor establish wholesale
houses. The practical work of going after the
trade that awaits our enterprise remains with
the people They must study the needs of the
South American markets, the conditions OF
tariffs and the methods of exchange. They
mist found wholesale mercantile houses in
every important capital where every line OF
American goods may be seen. Quick and reg
ular trans ortation and the ready exposition Of
goods are all that is now required to reap the
harvest for which diplomacy has sown.

NEW- YORK At MIDSUNNER.

Ncw-York at midsummer is deserted by a
large class of wealthy residents who are in
different to its superior attractions as hot
weather resort. There is an outgoing tide Of
travel which is now at its ebb and there is an
incoming tide that is running with full current.
A secret which some of the Oldest residents have
not learned is that the metropolis is one of the
most comfortable summer resorts for visitors.
1t has hotel accommodations which are UNI
rivalled ID has parks and dnveways which
can be enjoyed in the cooler hours OF the morn
ing and afternoon; it has wellventilated the
aires and music-g gardens where recreation Is to
be had with the least possible discomfort; 1t Is
the starting-p0int for innumelable seaside and
river excursions; and it has the best shopping
facilities which can be found anywhere. All
these attractions are appreciated by visitors from
inland towns who are coming every year in in
creasng numbers. Any one who has not taken
the pains 10 lock at tho hotel registers will be
astonished to learn that almost as many people
come to the city in hot weather as during the
winter.
One of the signs of this incoming current of
travel is the activity displayed by dry-gOods
merchants in advertising bargain sales and in
providing unusual attractions for Out-Of- town
trade The stores are filled day after day with
buyers who have learned that the best time for
shopping excursions is during the midsummer
weeks. The streets may be hot under the glare
Of the sun, but the interiors of the great dry
goods houses are always cool and airy there
are elevators for carrying customers from floor
to floor; and there are all the convenences for
shopping in comfort and with economy. The
hotels are in the main high buildings where
large rooms can always be had, and there is
ample provision made for baths and for the best
table which an unnyalcd market can supply.
With so much to make lie stay of visitors
comfortable and attractive it is not strange that
there is an increasing movement of travel to-
ward the city every year
1t is change OF air and scene which men and
women require during the heated period. Res
identS of NeWYOrk need to go to the noun
tains or to the seaShOre or to London and Paris
for their outing but those who enjoy the quiet
and retirement of the country all the wear
round, or who live in inland cities under differ
ing conditions Of climate and social environ
ment, can spend their summer holiday moro
prohtlbly and more comfortably witbal in tbo
metropolis than anywhere else. They can ,et
everything in the way Of recreation. drivino
water excursions, good hotel accommodations

conveniences that they can desire. A mdslm

OUR LETTERS FROM LATIN-AMERICA.

OUR LETTERS FROM LATIN-AMERICA.
In our edition of Saturday we printed the last
of the notable series of letters which our staff
correspondent has been furnishing recently from
Central American and West Indian countries.
This is the completion OF a great work in the
interest of trade extension with the nations OF
Latin America. Two years ago, at the outbreak
of the Brazilian Revolution, our correspondent
went to South America and after furnishing us
most interesting reports of the political changes
that had been inaugurated in Brazil visited
successfully each of the important South Amcri-
can States on both sides of the continent, writ
ing of their history, the character of their peo-
pie. their natural resources, and their social and
political conditions. his present trip begun in
January has we'll rounded this useful labor.
His travels have carried him through the Span
ish and British West inf1es. through Mexico
and the States Of Central America. From
every important centre of trade and politics he
has sent to our readers letters that have been
equally distinguished for their entertaining
gnality and their practical value. They havo
photographed with precision and brilliant effect
the civilizations of these interesting lands, the
social and religious natives of their populations,
and the character Of their work in the develop
mcnt on our continent of States dedicated TO
liberty and peaceful progress. If his reports
have not in AL cases gratified, they have at least
afforded encouragement that the friendly inter
course which the United States are so success
fully establishing win these lands will have
a quick and decided effect in the extension
among thor people of self-respect and knowl-
edge of their power and among their rulers
of patriotism and sincere regard for law.
Our correspondent has shown in the most I'M
mistakable way that the Reciprocity plans I'M
dertaken by President Harrison and Mr.. Blaine
arc emnently wise and sure of great results.
There is indeed now no further question than
that which relates to the skill of our artisans
and to tie enterprise of our merchants. OF the
desire on the part of all the Southern countries
TO enter into such relations with us as will in
sure the continued free import of their prod
ucts here there can be no doubt. They are
willing to 60, even at the sacrifice of their own
revenues, quite as far as we are justified in re-

half, and Spain on behalf of Cuba and Porto

Senator Allison, who is here in connection
with the inquiry into the workings of the new

outlook in Iowa in an interview which none of
Our readers should overlook. In his opinion, the
liquor question, while leading one in that State,
will not be the controlling issue in the cam

two years ago will return on account of the i'm
