Engineering News notes a new ap-
plication OF the flexible shaft principle
in the propulsion of small pleasure
craft. Everyone has observed the
dentists use OF long flexible shafts for
drills. etc. and a Berlin manufacturer
extends the principle to boats. Using
two-horse power naphtha engine, the
Berlin manufacturer transmits the
power to the propeller through flexi-
BILE shaft passing through a curved
steel tube leading over the stern Of the
boat. This curved tube, besides carry
ing the propeller at It's end is also fit-
ted with a rudder. and is moved by a

"Princess Nadine" by Christian Reid
the complete novel in the MAY issue of
LippincOtts Magazine, appeals strongly
to every lover of romance. The intro
ductiOn of the Russo-American Prin-
cess at the Mi-Careme and Battle of
Roses at Nice, where she is fittinglv
framed by pink-tinted sea shell
of roses, and where she is seen for
the first time by a wealthy Central
American, who is to influence her after
life, surely cOmpels attention. That
this man, whose indifference to the fair
sex is exceptional, should imperil his
life for her seems bit natural, as we
see, combined with the charming per-
sonality, character unspoied by
adulation; sympathetic, faithful, and
brave. The story can he said truly to
be among the best work of this popular
writer.
Rudyard Kipling will have a story in
the May McClure's entitled "The Flag

dramatically the difference between a
popular orator and a sensitive, high

A feature that can scarcely be too
often or too much emphasized is the
desire this season for the long,
graceful, clinging effects that are
sought in every style and descrip-
ton OF garment, whether designed
tor house, street or evening wear.
This universal fad has been produc
tive of many new and modified ma
terials of exquisite softness as re-
CARDS texture and very light in re-
spect to weight and color. The
popularity of red, which began early
last Autumn, has steadily increased
until this spring, when it seems to
have reached the high water mark
This decided tendency toward red
has brought into the market many
new tones that are unusually artistic
and satisfying. The red that bord
ers on or contains a suspicion of pur-
pie is the most novel and seems to
have acquired the foremost place.
Different tones of this color are
called amaranthe, cyclamen, anna
Tyllis and Bordeaux, lighter shades
being shown in the different coral
and geranium tones. One of the
i"tOoU SOlOilhS lIuCll upon tue sam
order as those mentioned above, is a
bright periwinkle tint that will be
much in demand throughout the
summer. Other popular shades are
gray, light-fawn, violet and pansy,
while for trimming white or very
deep cream that is almost yellow is
used upon nearly every style of
gown.
For skirts to wear with shirt
waists there is a large demand for
rough cheviot plaids that show com
binations of all the newest shadings.
These skirts, without exception, will
be made very close fitting, without
any fulness at the back and general
ly closed down the center of the
front. With skirts of this descrip-
ton will be worn short jaunty coats
OF corresponding shade, though a
very recent innovation calls for the
wearing of a coat of white or light

with black, with a rolling velvet col

speaking of the brides and bride
maids, is for the girls to dispense
entirely with the large pictured ats
which they have been wearing for
so long, and to wear instead either a
spray of flowers, or a tall feather fast
ened on long tulle veil. which
hangs quite down to the bottom of the
skirt behind. AT the fern wedding
the trademarks are to wear pretty
white muslin gowns over pale green
slips, and long tulle wells of the
palest shade of Nile green,t be fast
ened at the left side with chou of
the tulle, and large white aigrette
coming from it, pinned in front with
a tiny diamond pin. All the girls
this spring pronounce the wells far
more becoming than hats, while last
year every one of them wanted her
bridemaids to wear immense black
picture or Gainsborough hats with
long flowing plumes. At one spring
wedding, which promises to be ex-
ceedingly pretty and novel, the
girls will wear violet dotted muslin
gowns and long wells of pale violet
tulle. They will carry very large
bupches of Parma violets, with
streamers of narrow purple satin
ribbon. The wells will be fastened
at the back of the head with tall
standing plume of deep purple of
the same shade as the ribbon. The
effect cannot fail to be charming
