"All she lacks of beauty
is little plumpness."
This is a frequent thought,
and a wholesome one.
All of a baby's beauty is
due to fat, and nearly all of a
woman's we know it as
curves and dimples.
What plumpness has to do
with health is told in a little
book on CAREFUL LIVING; sent
free.
Would you rathe err be
healthy Or beautiful? "Both"
is the proper answer.

first week Of August continues favor

proportion for the corresponding week
Of last August, gain over 1889, and in
dictates an encouraging progression In
the improvement Of that company's

from such a particular could hardly be
had than the promise on almost unpre-
cedented business in moving the crop in
the Atchison territory. The strength
exhibited by the stock the last two days
reflects some confidence in the situation.

red, little straw bonnet trimmed with
daisies, white, embroidered veil and
diamonds as big as almonds. Mrs. kerno-
chan is stately in black brocade and dia-
mond buttons, and Mrs. Justice Grey Is
also In black. Mrs. Frederick Wander
bilt is stunning in pink crepe, orna-
mented with big white crescents. There
is a wonderful girdle Of black jets with
breteles and trimmings to match, and
tiny black lace bonnet crowns her dark
hair. Ward McAllister's niece is in
pink crepon, and Miss Leary, who gives
the most famous musicals in Newport,
is in black silk, with knots OF white rib
bon in her bonnet.
Perhaps the most attractive women in
the room are beautiful Mrs. De Forest
and her sister, the famous Sallie Har-
gous, who is TO be married on the 18th
of September, and who is surrounded
on that account by an additional atmos-
phere of interest. Mrs. De Forest, who
is typical Spanish beauty. Is In bronze
green chiffon over silk. There is a
holero Jacket OF jet and bonnet Of
black lace with gold and jet spangles.
Pretty Sallie is in pale green crepe
trimmed with dark-green velvet and
white lace. Her bonnet is mere
wreath of white flowers and her tiny
shoes are of patent leather and dark
green suede.
One more beautiful gown is noticed OF
white India silk, sprinked over with
blue violets and trimmed with violet
blue velvet with sleeves OF white chif-
fon. The bonnet is Of violets and Ill
ies.
With the beautiful faces and gay cos
tunes the scene IS like nothing so much
as lovely flower garden. The hum OF
conversation ceases as Mrs. Russell
comes in followed by her pupil and pro-
tege. Miss Florence Sears, OF Bnfialo,
who is doing for the four hundred of
that city what Mrs. Russell is for New

leader of the four hundred.
And now the men are getting the
Delsarte fever. Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
gave luncheon this week and Mrs.
Russell was called upon to do some OF
her work for the men who were present.
So the lady posed and bowed and
tainted for their benefit and received a
storm OF applause. The result Is that
next season men are to be admitted to
Mrs. Russell's classes. Several promi-
nent social leaders have formed dinner
clubs. Each takes her turn giving a
dinner party, after which there Is to be
a Delsarte dance, when the men shall
be put through their PAGES and the
women shall laugh at their awkward
ness.
Mrs. Russell does not hesitate to at
tack slang, boisterousness, bluntness
and haateur in most uncompromising
fashion. She is not one bit awed or
overwhelmed by the exalted character
of her audience. She is lady born
and bred, is accustomed to the best
London circles of society and can hold
ler own anywhere WIN PciicSO '"'S.
She enjoys teaching these lovely and
refined women, and says that she finds
their intelligence far over the average
mark. They acquire physical execu-
ton faster than other women, owing,
she thinks, to the fact that the greater
part OF their summer lives is passed In
outdoor exercise, driving, horseback
riding and sea bathing. at is the

STARTLING EVIDENCE
Brought Forth in the Bale Des Chaleurs
X. r. Scandal-A Clean Breast of 1t.

OTTAWA, ONT, August 14.-The SEN
ate Railway Committee met tonight and
startling evidence was brought forth in
connection with the Bale des Chaleurs
railway scandal. Contractor G. n. Arm
strong, who had previously refused
to answer certain questions, made a
clean breast of it. He said that
when the effort to reorganize the COM
pany failed he set about organizing a
new syndicate as he had heavy claims
against the road. In New York he
held lengthy conference with Premier
MERCER and other members of the Que
bee provincial government. In
order to complete the deal
he had got Earnest Pacaud,
editor Of L'Electeltr, the Quebec
government organ, to act as agent be-
tween himself and the Quebec govern
ment. An arrangement was made by
while the government paid him in sub
sides S175,OOO. The witness realizing
that a loaf is better than none as he ex-
pressed, repaid Pacaud 100000. His
share was only SIS, 900.
This statement created sensation.
Witness said Pacaud, when the deal
was on, complained at the delay Of the
Quebec government in paying the
money. He showed witness list of
the persons whose debts had to be
liouidated. Among the names appeared
that OF r. l. Tarte, M. P.
The committee will meet again on
Tuesday. Before the Privileges and
Elections Committee Contractor Starr
swore he had hidden against the favor
McGreevy for big job, and Langevin
had persuaded him to withdraw. The
case was closed.
