the rent was always paid until portion
of the last two months, amounting TO SAT-.
The stock of Clements & Chaffee was
damaged some months ago by the break

WASHINGTON, March %. = United
States Consul Morris, at Client, Belgium,
in special report to the state depart
ment, describes new process of making
artificial cotton, which has been remark
ably successful, the product being
much cheaper than the natural cotton
and possessing most of its qualities.
The basis is wood pulp, which, by a
course of treatment, fully described by
the consul. is changed into pure celu-

POINTS FROM PARIS.

Gold lace belts are quite the thing now. Gold lace in that connection is used tech nically. and means, not weman's lace, but the military article-that is. gold tape or braid. The most elaborate even ing gowns have belts of this sort of stuff buckled with jewels and real gold. Women can save something by buying this 'lace" at some military supply place.
 Very useful sleeveless blouses are made of velvet, trimmed with fur. The shoul- der seam is very long, so that the arm- hole is big enough to accommodate the biggest sleeve in it's passage through, and the shoulder of the blouse extends in a generous curve forward over the sleeve like a round shoulder cap or cave. Such blouse is made full in front and overhangs a belt. At the back it is drawn close, and sometimes little frill skirts show below the belt The collar is high stock The blouse fastens in- vsibly among the folds of the front, fur is the usual finish, and such a garment is cozy addition to a gown planned for the street.

WELLESLEYLEADS THEM ALL
The Southern Colleges Have Taken Up Sports But Only a Few of the Western Insti- tutions Have Contracted the
 MuscIe-Makng Craze

There isn't any doubt about the changed ideal for women extending to her physical conditions. The best possi- ble results have already been brought about in the supremacy of what is affec- tionately called the bicycle girl, the gym nasum girl, and the out-of-doors girl Physically the ideals are all healthy and wholesome female creatures.
 Calves corsets. as well as her combs, are copied. Emma Eames-Storys splen- did and generous Greek lines of chest and waist, and Mrs. Langtrys and Mrs. Ken daps exuberant health are zealously sought after by less robust women.
 People also go back to the Greeks for methods. Today many rich women have magnificently appointed gymnasiums, where, in the most charmingly fashone dresses that Diana in her woodland robes might envy, they jump and dance and punch the bag and do all sorts of gym nastic work with Zealous and indefatig- able spirit
 In every city of consequence there are gymnaSiumS for women as well as men, where, ,sfor $40 a season Gin classes), they are trained under educated and highly qualified teachers and hygienic conditions. Scientific systems that long ago passed the experimental stage are offered to those requiring exercise as a remedial measure. There are also private schools for work in body expression" No fash ionable school for general instruction omits this from it's course, and but few colleges remain without a well-equipped gymnasium.
 By the spring. after entrance at Welles- ley, there are not many angular. round
Birmingham state herald., 1895-12-29

shouldered, salow or narrow-chested young women. The Wellesley girls have defeated Harvard men on the tennis courts at matched contests. They vie with Canada in lacrosse, and weary their caddies on the golf field. The class crews, a distinctive feature of Wellesley's ath- fetic life, receive careful and scientific training in the gymnasium before they go upon the lake, and every few weeks they are subjected to a physical examination, to prove whether or not they are going beyond their strength Opportunity is given for the physical training of every student if she desires it, in the gymna- sium and out of it.
 The out-of-doors athletic grounds, cov- ering between two and three acres near the lake side, afford a running track and field for--almost any athletic purpose Near by the class courts invite to tennis and basket ball, and golf links attract the most adventurous maiden. recent presidents report shows, by means of diagrams, that in six months the mean girth of chest of members of the crews had increased 115 inches, and the mean lung capacity had increased 20 cubic inches; while the students who had re- ceiVed no training had made no increase of grth of chest and actually had lost in lung capacity. The intellectual standard at Wellesley has advanced as rapidly as and coincidentally with the physical.
 From until of all pleasant days at I3ryn MaWr. cOlIeRe TOT women twenty games of tennis may be seen in progress on the upper campus. Down below, in front of the gymnasium. a basket ball team is hard at work practicing for the class games.
 At Vassar active gymnasium work in the beautiful alumnae gymnasium forms a regular part of the students duties and credit in her course Is given for that work. Two directors are in charge of the well-equipped building, and in addition to this a lake on the grounds furnishes opportunity for skating and rowing and various golf tennis, basket ball and other outdoor sports are kept up by class clubs.
 Smith college affords less opportunity for the development of out of door sports from her situation in the center of the city. Her campus is too small for the outdoor running track and athletic field which she needs, and her treasury is not yet full enough to purchase them. Not withstanding the athletic department in indoor gymnastic work has developed wonderfully in the last three years. Reg ular class drill in the Swedish system has taken the place of dumb bells, wands and Indian clubs. In the first and second years the work is required, but is then made elective for the junior and senior classes.
 During the spring term drill is elective for all in order that grea ter opportunity may be given for exercise out of doors.
