The Kites, which are modified after the
Ideas OF iiarErdve. are flown three at
time, tandem fashion, on the same line.
They were arranged yesterday in a row on
the ground WITH one end each tilted up, SO
they could catch the wind. The cord was
half an inch i'll thickness. Eight men stood

A &c eighteen years

1t is interesting to compare the foregoing
extract from Miss IS anthrorometric
chart with table compiled by the director
OF a physical culture establishment where
the measurement OF about 800 New York
girls, averaging 1874 years, has been tax
en- and recorded.
Just here a hint to the novice. Measure
ments must always be taken in the same
position OF the body and must be taken in
the same way. They are OF value for the
reason that they hold out an incentive to
work they show the gain and loss in certain
directions, and are guide as to the kind
OF exercise needed.

ANTHROPOnETRIc CHARTS,
Modern Woman Is Fond of Measure
ing Herself.

All the girls BOW are going in for aathro-
pometric charts. In other words. they are
taking their measures, the breadth, depth,
height and girth OF their bodies.
The first place is to buy Callipers, IA
breadth stick, height stick and steel
tape measure. Then go to some Que who
knows how-the physical director of some
nearby gymnasium ask her If she will
kindly tfor a consideration show You how
to take your cwn measures Having mean
while purchased one of these charts with a
long name. the measurements are thrcrin
set down. or course they are far from salts
factory, unless one has had a course of
physical culture and is in prime condition
The grth OF the chest, for instance, is 29.2
when it should be 3O.5 say. Other measure
ments likewise are found to bc on the wrong
side OF the account.
lf the measurer is Il danScl of spirit and
energy, she viii commence at once course
OF gymnastics, in her own room perhaps
that in Gue time other and more satisfac-
tory measurements may be recorded on her
anthropometric chart. The shoulders per
haps, measure less than the hips, an order
which must he reversed, for there should be
gradual slope from the shoulders down,
with no bulging out of the hips to destroy
the symmetry.
In one of the New York 'gymns" there
is young girl, eighteen years of age,
whose form is considered by her teachers,
II doctor and his wife. n near perfection as
possible. When she Commenced work in the
gymnasium there wasa lack of some tcnths

were not quite up To the standard, hut by
Intelligent and systematic exercise she
'as brought them to the desired form and

which may be helpful to the girl who is
going to do likewise to add tenths, IL not

Many Pretty BonelesS Waists Come
for Wear With Morning and
NegiIgee Dresses.

THE corset Is such Il hard affair at best
that women grasp eagerly at any
waist that takes It's place, partlcu-
larry in the morning, when loose house
dresses are worn and the figure need
not lie as trim as for the street. These
homeless waists or cOrsets can bc MADE
at home, but there must be the greatest
care taken to mould them just right, or
the effect viii he far from good. An
old corset with the bones taken ont
makes IA good field for experiment. AT
terward patterns can be cut and n bone
less corset made from new material.
