Fashion Notes,

Crepe de chine is again in high favor.
The pointed toed shoes has lost its
prestige, and a round one seems to take
its place.
Rhinestone buckles, for embellishing rib
bon belts to be worn with handsome
gowns, are again in vogue. The double
buckles are lovely.
Lace cravats are a prominent feature
on imported silk costumes.
One of the favorite combinations for
spring and summer is red and brown.
About every other garment one sees
is trimmed with some variety of soutache
braid
Velvet is the most fashionable garniture
for canvas gowns.
A very pretty jacket suit is of china-blue
linen hand-embroidered with white cot
ton. With it is a blouse of white Per-
sian lawn.
Lawn petticoats have ruffies edged with
white or black Valenciennes lace.
The approved finish for sashes of broad
ribbon is two rounded ends.
Charming vests and yoke collars are Of
tucked or embroidered batiste.
Black satin accessories are popular on
cashmeres of light colors.

Nothing is better for a late supper than
a glass of good milk. 1t is readily assini-

Now is the time TO begin your potpourri

consequence, have nothing to eat. and
naturally would not help Mr.. Russell in
hunting expeditions.
These Indians have various gambling
games, some of which bear resemblance
to games played by civilized men, In an
swering question brought out in the
discussion, Mr.. Russell said that he had
not been able to determine the precise
idea of the Great Spirit held by these In
dams. Mr.. Newell made a comparison
between the legends found among these
northern tribes and those held by the
Navajos, and Prof Putnam explained how
the proposed Jesup expedition would help
students to understand and to compare
the myths of Asia and America.
After Mr.. Russells talk Miss Frances
Prince gave a delightful paper on the

these plants, Xix plants themselves,
have come chiefly ON Europe, yet many
of them are well known to our country

them. Some of the more interesting Of
these are connected with our common

horror induced by the sight of basket

Animals have taught mortals that nuts
are excellent food. Mortals do not always
Jump to natural lessons. but the constant
Increase in nut eating seems to point that
way.
Peasants and children have always been
great nut eaters, but the more civilized
adults only take them as an atter-dlnner
course with coffee and raisins.
The tide has turned, probably because
this is a practical age. Nuts are becom-
ing a pantry commodity. They are plac-
cd In whatever dish there is an excuse for
them.
Two years ago hostesses began serving
nut salad with mayonnaise dressing. The
epicurean departure was relished, but
wondered at the oddly; now salad is but
one of the many minor ways that nuts are
brought to the table during the heaviest
courses.
Here are the devices some hostesses have
found palatable:
Tiny oval sandwiches OF thinnest bread
and butter. with filing of chopped wal

Baked apples are cored and stuffed with

Turks now have two wives. Her idea Of
European life was founded on French
novels. which she had read necessarily,
and she said to me- Well, we are happier
than you, for our husbands may fancy
one of our slaves, whom we know, but
your husbands go about with French ac-
tresses whom you don't know! Sweet
meats were brought in by slaves and then
cigarettes, but l had to confess my ignor-
ance of smoking; and, lastly, the delicious
Turkish coffee in golden cup stands. The
minister's wife is a good musician and
her sister-in-law draws and paints, taught
by the minister who is quite a good art
list. But in spite of music and painting
and French novels and lovely garden,

Breathing is more efficacious than any
thing else in filing out unsightly hollows
in each side of the collar bone, and in de-
veloping the neck muscles. That is, if
one goes to work understandingly. Com
bined with the breathing exercises must
be head-bending movements and side and
front sweep arm movements, practced
either outdoors or before an open window.
There are four separate exercises for the
head:
l. Bend the head slowly but firmly for
ward, without jerkiness, until the chin
nearly touches the neck, then slowly
raise the head to its normal position; re-
peat these movements fifteen or twenty
times at least and take long, deep breaths.
A deep breath should be held as long as
possible and then slowly exhaled, holding
the air few seconds in the throat.
2. Bend the head backward as far as
possible and then raise to Its normal po-
sition.
Dara Tho baad sidauyavS ION tipaas
to the right and as many times to the
left.
A. Roll the head slowly to the right,
backward to the left and then forward.
For the side sweep arm movements,
stand perfectly erect, with the arms at
the sides, then lift them up vertically, in
hating the lungs as the arms ascend.
With the arms in vertical position, raise
up on the tiptoes, and throw the head
back, touching at the same time the backs
of the hands overhead. AS the arms
slowly descend exhale from the lungs.
For the front sweep, inhale as you bring
your arms to a vertical position; look up
and raise on the tiptoes; keep the elbows
straight and touch the thumbs when the
arms are raised above the head. Exhale
as the hands are returned to the sides Of
the thighs Then alternate the front
sweep and the side sweep.
For the next movement, draw the arms
from the front horizontally palms up, UNI
til the elbows are as far past the sides as
possible, but kept down close TO the body.
Initiate as the arms are drawn back, ex-
hale as you return to position. Repeat
these movements several times Every
alternate day the arm sweep exercises
should be pracuced, lying fiat on the back,
with the knees bent, and remember that
the movements must be taken slowly and
deliberately, with the breaths as deep and
full as possible. Not only is the neck and
all it's muscles benefited by these exer-
cises, but one acquires at the same time
an erect and graceful carriage.
