games had to be rolled before the series
was decided in favor of the Clinton

very high, but in spite of this the con-
.ests were without exception the most
exciting ever witnessed on the alley.
Wadleigh was not entirely in form, but
fwice he saved a victory by winding up
With a strike. The last game proved the
post exciting of the series. The Clinton
track had a lead of nearly fifty pins
IN the seventh frame when Franz started
In to pile up strikes. In the wind up he
bad a double header and needed but an
other strike to make the game a tie. He
hit the pins in the right spot, but the

Where was American ingenuity that it
should have left to the French so waltz
able an invention as the new air or win
BOWS which are being placed upon loco
motives in Southern Europe! It has
long been recognized that even on a
calm day the pressure upon an engine
going at speed is equal to a heavy gale
that is to say enormous. When run

sure ma be even doubled.
The average increase in the expendi-
ture of coal is estimated at one-siXth

air with a fiat surface the vast n
swiftly moving mass cuts its a.

side as the water is flung from the bows
of an Atlantic liner.
The device seems a very simple one,
but it is proved that it saves a large
percentage Of coal. In some experiments
it was shown that the cir pressure was
reduced one-half. 1t now remains for

SOME BEAUTY POSES.
Society Struggling. to SIT and stand in
Artistic Attitudes.

AtthoaAC tAttlhuueos
There are certain set poses which are
familiar to US all. One in particular,
which shows the beauty line of the bust
curving in at the waist, and then out
again and over the hip, is emphasized
by putting the hand with the fingers
downward quite far back on the hip. This
pose shows the beauty of the hand and
arm as well as the beauty of the other
line already spoken of. But it Is a pose
that will bring cut an ugly elbow with
startling clearness, SO care must be taken
to hold the elbows slightly backward in
stead of forward. Standing with hands
ciasped at the back, if the woman be
clothed in a princess gown, brings into
full relief many most charming lines, IL
the pose has been carefully studied. but
but in this, as in the other, care must be
taken to have the hips thrown back in
stead of forward, and also to have the
shoulders in a graceful position.
There are numberless pretty poses in
sitting down which are extremely eff
fective. One is calculated to show the
line from knee to hip, at the same time
ed by having the hand placed slightly to
one sid or the sofa or chair with palm
downward. This is a complicated. pose,
for it is not becoming to the hand, and
therefore requires something to be held
to hide it, such as a bouquet of flowers, a
fan car a bit of fur. 1t takes. very well in
d photograph, ~ u iS dS VIGIL hIOWu d. II
holding of a fan behind the head, which
last becomes so much part and parcel of
the photographs taken by one of the phc-
~tographlers in the city that his work was
recognizable at a glance, and the fan quite
obviated the necessity of his name and
address at the bottom of the picture.
A most telling pose can be assumed in
a narrow doorway. This is particularly
good when the woman is in evening dress,
One hand should fall loosely at one side,
the other. placed against the side of the
door, must be slightly raised. This pose.
when carefully taken, will show off every
good point of a woman's figure and every
pretty detail of her gown, but do not let
any woman at all inclined to ~embonpoint
attempt 1T, for every particle of extra
a~voirdupois will show with most depress-
ing distinctness. Also it must not be at
tempted with anything but a serelely
simple gown-satia preferred. If a door
with portieres can be had to pose against
it is much better. for the soft draperies
are more becoming than the wood. But
when there are portieres the hand can
be raised a little higher than If it rests
merely against the sides of the door, and
this is better for the hand. as when it
is slightly raised the blood runs down into
the arm, and gives a softer, more waxen
look to the fingers.
