lay In Sandy Point five days, taking in
provisions, getting ready for sea voy-
age. We have been forty-one days
coming from Callao. It was a long
passage, but the last two weeks paid
US for the rest of the passage We
came through Smyth's straits-70O
miles OF the most beautiful scenery In
the world, scenery that no whites but
sea-far1ng men have ever seen, and
they do not know how. to appreciate it.
only seven ships besides ours were
ever through Snyth's straits. The an
chcring places are from twenty-five to
eighty miles apart. We anchored every
night. The straits are from 200 feet to
glaciers, savages, wild game, fish and
seals. The natives live by hunting,
fishing and farming.
Until 1890 Sandy Point was only a
coal1ng station, with a few scattering
houses. In 1890 gold was found IN
large quantities near there, and people
rushed there from all corners of the
globe to make a fortune, and now
Sandy Point is an enterprising little
city of 5000 or 1000 people, and the
country around is fairly we'll settled.
1t has the best outlook Of any city
in South America. The houses are
all new and freshly painted. The in
habitants are mostly German, Scotch,
Irish, Swedes and few Chileans 1t
is ruled by Chile, but has a liberal
government. There is no duty on i'm
ported goods. You can live there
cheaper than any place in South
America. You can buy town lot for
20 rag dollars, or So in gold, and when
you fence 1t in and build a house they
refund the money There are always
ten or twelve steamers in Ii harbor.
and an English mail once a week. Some
of our boys were so much impressed
with Sandy Point that they went
ashore and forgot to come back.
On the sixth morning we got under
way and steamed down the left bank
Of the straits. 1t was mostly low land
with here and there a sheep ranch. At
the right Is the island of TERRA del
Fuego. 1t looked like a dark line
drawn along the horizon. We anchor
ed in Gregory bay that evening, our
last anchorage in the straits. The next
day we steamed along the low bank
till o'clock in the afternoon, when we
passed between two light houses and
dipped our bow into the first rollers
Of the broad Atlantic ocean. Thus end
ed our voyage through the straits.

MAKE A LIVING
AS CensOrs of Guest Lists-Queer but
Important Occupation

The large private dances given in New
York afford a means of livelihood to a num-
Der Of women whose work does not appear
conspicuously in the results, as important as
it really is. The lists of many of the host
esses that entertain in this way are taken
charge of by young women who make a bust
ness Of sending out invitations overlooking
lists and generally experimenting the eutire
distribution of the invitations. This necessi-
tates a revision of the names and the omis-
sion of all who happen to be no longer avail
able for social entertainments from one cause
or another. The women who attend to work
of this kind relieve the hostess of all further
responsibility than the delivery to her of the
invitations. This is a particular relief to the
people in society who happen to spend any
considerable part of their time in Europe
and unfamiliar with the changes that
take place in New York. One young woman
and her mother have for several years made
a very good living out of work of this kind
and there are a half-dozen or more who de-
vote their time to 1t. At many of the large
balls a hostess never expects to know per-
sonally all the people she invites. Some Of
them play no more important part in her ac-
quaintance than a place on her visiting list
and. that distinction having once been gained
it is likely to be secure until something very
serious happens. One of the duties Of the
women who make a business of this sort of
thing is to see that invitations do not go to
people whose friends would be grieved by
the suggestion Of their attending ball.-New
York Sun.

Hints which the Average woman
VIII Find Useful and Timely.
Unless a figure is largely out Of pro-
portion there is no real necessity in.this
day Of having corsets made TO order.
But il is quite necessary that a corset
should be fit TO the figure as carefully
as a glove or boot is fitted. One mike
Of corset may fit you perfectly in the
bust, but the waist may be too short
or too long, or the hips too snug or
loose. Fitting is done at all frst-class
houses free of charge. and it is time
well spent in having your corset prop
erly fitted.
Fewwomen, having secured the right
kind of corset, know how to lace it.
There should be two lacing-strings-
silk being better than any other-one
reaching from the top TO the waist
line, and one from the waist-line to the
bottom edge Of the corset. The cor
set can then be laced comfortably at
the waist as closely or as tightly as one
wishes without COMPRISING the bust
and forcing the flesh at the back over
the top of the corset. Then, too, the
corset can be adjusted about the hips
and over the abdomen without discom-
fort and ungainly lines, as is the case
when only one lacing is used.
A woman who dresses a great deal,
and always up to the occasion. really
needs variety Of corsets. a decollete
gown calls for n low-cut corset that
conforms TO the shape of the bodice,
while a tailor-made costume requires a
corset high above the bust and long on
the abdomen. The negligee robe de
chambre has n corset that is merely
n bust support. The bicycle corset is
usually a ventilated affair made quite
/ short from the waist down, and has
fower bones than any other. The COR
set for the empire gown is little more
than n belt showing little or no bust
curve. And so It goes, making the
wearing of corsets a thing of comfort
If properly fitted.
The tendency among women to take
up physical culture and athletics has
not driven out cOrsets. but has done
much toward improving them. Modern
times have seen the anatomy Of the hui
man figure so carefully studied that
the corset has become an element of
comfort and some physicians say of
good health.
To, be laced, in the general accept
nnce Of the term, is now considered the
height of vulgarity. II is quite natur-
al the waist should be smaller than the
bust or hips, but it need not be fairly
strangled into an hour-glass shape
What is wanted in a corset is plenty OF
room at the bust and on the hips. with
no pressure on the ribs to interfere
with breathing. Few of us are con
structed on the lines of the ideal figure
so that much of the beauty of our form
depends upon n good-ftting corset

Tventy-Four Million People on nm
Island the Size Of New York state.
Every few miles there were open red
tiled pavilions built over the highways
rs refugees for man and beast from the
scorching sun of one season and the
cloud-burst showers of the rainy half
of the year. Twice we found busy pass
ers going on in groves beside these rest
houses - picturesque gatherings Of
men, women and children, and displays
of fowls. fruits, nuts. vegetables. grain,
sugar, spices, gums and flowers. that
tempted one TO linger and enjoy, and to
photograph every foot of the passer's
area. The main road was crowded all
the way like a city street, and around
these passers the highway hummed
with voices.
One can believe in the density of the
population-24,OOO,OOO people on this
island of 49,1s7 square miles, about the
size of the state of New Yorll-whcn he
sees the people trooping along these
country roads; and he can well under
stand why every foot of land is culti-
vated, how even in the benevolent land
of the banana every one must produce
something; must work or s.arve. Men
and boys toiled to the passer, bent over
with the weight Of one or two mon
strous jaclSfruits or durians on their
backs. A woman with baby swinging
in the slandang over her shoulder had
tied cackling chickens to the back Of
her belt, and trudged on comfortably
under her umbrella; and n boy slung n
brace of ducks from each end Of q shoul-
der-pole' and trotted gayly to the
passer.
The kampongs, or villages, when not
hidden in palm and plantain groves be-
hind fancy bamboo fences, were rows
of open houses on each side Of the high

leisure while the ponies were changed.
