the neck sim, so as to resist the power OF
the arm as much as possible. Make II a
tug-of-war between the neck muscles and
the arm if you will, but always let the
arm win.
The resistance offered by the neck mus
cIes will give them the work they require.
Do this alternately with the right ana
the left hands, forcing the neck to the
right and left shoulders in turn

Then force the head slowly back, keep

Do these exercises each a dozen times

A new biceps exercise which would
suggest consists in taking a dumbbeli' say

the end at right angles to the body, raise
it slowly to the shoulder. any
twisting it in toward the body, SO that
when tits at the shoulder he ends OF the
bell will be parallel to the body.

An exceedingly successful little enter
| tainment was given by an artistic and
socially prominent woman not long ago
which introduced a distinctly novel way
of showing living portraits. The idea,
which was due to the suggestion OF an
artist who has always the courage OF ms
| convictions, was<So show tableaux in day
light in an ordinary drawing room. Far
from being crude and harsh. as would De
naturally supposed, the illusion was mar
velous. In fact, If anyone had entered the
room not knowing that a living person
stood in the frame he would have taken
the picture for a fine old masterpiece.
The celebrated artist who produced this
effect and posed the picture obtained his
really wonderful results in the following
simple manner:-A shaded corner of the

the artistic after effect was due to the
mastery posing and draping of the sub
jects. the prettiest of which was a tiny,
dimpled infanta of Spain, dressed in the
quaint old brocade worn by the little
maids of high rank in the time of Velas-
quez.

Replace the pits of dates with fondant

Only fair women should wear pure
white, though very lark ones with a
clear skin may sometimes fall back on
white, but as a rule they should choose
cream. It needs a bright complexion to
look well in gray, whether blended with
primrose, pink or a light grass green.
People who are naturally pale should in
troduce a dash of cherry color in their
hat, and there is hardly a better shade
to go with fawn. Ornaments should be
as carefully selected as the rest of the
dress, and with due regard to the COM
plexion. T~urquoises are very fashionable,
but they may be most disiguring. There
are very few people that diamonds do not
suit. Rosettes of black tulle as a back
ground to a diamond brooch on a bodice
are a very good introduction, but on
black and white dresses people are intro
ducing blue or yellow chiffon or velvet
for just the same purpose. 1t is wonder
full how much effect just his little iota
of color gives to a dress.
The sleeves are decidedly elaborate this
year, and much more so in the wash
goods hi in the silk. They are much
tighter than they were last year. Some
of the sleeves are trimmed with rows OF
tucks and bands of insertion, or drawn
work from the cuff upward, leaving the
top untrimmed in cap shape. In other
sleeves just the tops are trimmed with
bands of insertion and tucks, and tho
lower parts are plain. Quite a number
of the collars and cuffs are of the sam
material. but, as they are all made sep
arately, white linen ones can be substi
