For lack of outward curve below the
waist, the little perky frill across the
waist line at the back is invaluable, or O

OF the people in the foregoing territory,
which may be the subject OF legislation
by the United States congress, and to
express to it, through resolutions and
otherwise tho sentiments of the western
people. 1t will also endeavor to take
suoh steps for the presentation OF these
its attention and action.
While any such question may prop.
erly be brought forward for discussion,
among those which are most likely to
be prominent are: The RECOMMENDATION
OF silver; irrigation of arid ind other
lands; the disposition OF Indian and
public lands; the Nicaragua canal; q
national bankrupt law; the improve
ment of western rivers and harbors; /;
anti-option Legislation: mining laws !;

ganization may appoint three delegates
and one additional delegate for each 100
members.
Ex-presidents of the congress, gov

sleeves have immense puffs trimmed
with jet fringed epaulettes and deep
cuffa banded at the wrists with Jet.
The reader accustomed to consider
such matters will see at once that not
only ia this back short in the waist, but
that by trick OF trimming it aleo takes
on look of shortness in the skirt which
does not really exat. This is caused by
the use of the deep founce, which at
the middle OF the back takes up more
than half of the skirts length, and. by
thus dividing it, makes it seem much
shorter than it really is.
70 the round.ahouldered the yoke is
really invaluable, but before adopting
it try hard to reform. Guard against
that fatal bemsh, ''corset-top line"
across the shoulders, by getting corset
surely short enough in the back. Don't
be misguided in this by desire to be
long. wasted. Straighten the back, not
SO much by drawing the shoulders to-
gether as by seeming to try to bring the
upper part OF the back and the hips into
contact. As for the yoke, let it come
down across the rounding line, pointing
up or down little at the center Let
the edge OF sucn yoke be finished with
frill or hounce. If by proper standing
good curve OF the back towards the
waist has been accomplished, such q
yoke will hide ell that is not good of
the back.
Entirely hidden is the last pair OF
shoulders pictured, and the method Of
their concealment constitutes a novel
and dainty garniture. 1t consists of two
rosettes of cornfower- satin ribbon
placed at the shoulders, with the con-
Meeting straps ornsmented in the center
with paste buckle. Two long ends of
sash ribbon hang from the rosettes. The
dress stuff is yellow China silk, it's un-
derskirt ia trimmed with wide hounce
of embroidered mousseline, and the
accordion pleated overskirt is pointed
and embroidered TO match this flolnce.
To improve waist that has become
too big. place little black roaetts at
either side Of the center of the back at
the waist line. Allow no more than
half an inch between the rosettes. and
if they are the en6s of bands passing
over the shoulders, the effect ia in
creased. There is no better trick for
Stimulating slenderness which docs not
exist.

Outside the harbor OF Callao his vessel
ran into school of large turtles, and he
captured enough to make it profitable to
run to Panama and ship them to New
York. Then be headed for San Fran
cisco again. making way ports and pick
ing up coffee shipments.
1t was on this trip that the Sirius got
into serious trouble. AT Cuyutlan, be-
low Mauquillo, the story was circulated
that the Sirius was O emuggler, and
customs officer was sent ON board.
Meeks and his captain remonstrGted, but
the customs officer said ho was there to
stay. Word was sent ashore that the
vessel was about to sail, and to take the
customs officer ashore. Instead, another
officer WAS sent aboard, and when the
anchor WAS raised, the Mexicans, still
declining to leave the ship, were taken
TO sea.
OFF the Isle Of St. Bartholomew, below
Ensenada, gale was encountered and
the steamer vas disabled By the break
ing of shaft. Relief came in the
shape OF the Pacific Coast Steamship
company's Mexican mail steamer. and
Meeks made contract with Captain
Van Helmns. OF the mail steamer, to
tow him to San Diego. The kidnapped
Mexican customs officers Meeks knew
would jeopardize both his persoDal lib
erty and the ship if he put into Ensen-
ada.
Another dilemma presented itself to
Captain Van Helmns OF the mail vessel,
for his contract required him to enter
the Mexican port. 1t also almost be.
came his imperative duty, for the officer
of the port signalled him to enter
On the other hand, the $4,000 that
Meeks offered for tow to San Diego
was too tempting and the Sirius was
taken to San Diego. Then difficulties
arose over the payment OF the towing
bill and as repairs could not be made
the steamer was taken to San Francisco
and libel for the $780, 900 fled against
her. The kidnapped customs officers also
filed suit. Their claims were settled,
but.the salvage claim is still pending.
Captain Won Helmns also got into
trouble by reason OF carrying the mail
past Eusenada. 1t coat him and his
employers, Goodsll, Perkins & Co. sew.

In the meantime young Meeks decid-

about as long as halfway round the
waist, a narrow back being always beau
tiful. The line starting from the hori-
zontal shoulder line and ending at the
waist line should curve distinctly and
gracefully, bending in as il approaches
the waist line, and at the waist begin
ming the outward curve which extends
below and ia one of the most important
lines in woman's figure. This back ia

worth coaxing or even making entirely.

The second sort is much shorter waiet-
ed and while fiat across the shoulders
as every good back must be, it may
round out little bit in the line from
shoulder to nape of neck. Its lines are
shown in each OF the three other pic
tures. From sh ouider to waist it is
much shorter than the other back and
does not curve 30 much. The under
arm lines does not curve, but slant
outward to give added breadth under
the arms. The whole back suggests the
rather plump figure, or one more ma
ture, than the vase style, and is easier
to make or suggest than is the other.
Everything that tends to lengthen and
narrow the back and give 1t spring at
at the hips, suggests the first sort
everything that tends to shorten. widen
and make round without humping, of
course. suggests the other. So take
your choice intelligently.

the same shade furnishes the standing
collar and belt.
An ornamental point of this sort, but
larger, will often serve to disguise too
prominent shoulder blades. and their
posseasor should avoid throwing back
her shoulders. The insertion of long
pointed yoke in the back of the bodice
disguises this fault even better. Let
the bodice fit closely and the yoke be in
feur de lis shape, curving over the
shoulder and with long point reaching
to the belt line. This yoke should be of
null, chiffon or crisp silk, and the
pointed part should be drawn in tight
pleats that are not fitted into the hol-
low of the back. Then the hollow be-
comes the more apparent on either side,
and the cave-in between the prominent
shoulders is softened and concealed.

excellent outlines, but, nevertheless,

elaboration. For it, black satin is COW

hidden, save for band in back,
