THE COLUMBIA YACHTING COSTUME.

THE COLUMBIA YACHTING COSTUME.
The pure white gown of duck or pique
has so long been the beau ideal of the
yachting girl that it is difficult to imagine
her attired in any other costume; but she
has originated new design, and a stun
ming one it is.
1t is known as the Columbia and is de-
veloped in lamp black duck--an expensive
material--appliqued with bands OF white
linen braid and embroidery. The skirt sets
smoothly over the hips with two box plaits
at the back undertaking the fulness.
The jacket is short and finished below
the waist line in rpples which are cut
in the seams. Wide lapels turn over a
shirt waist of white linen. These are
trimmed with bands of embroidery which
extend around the ripples also. A white

SOCIAL DUTY.

The doorbell rings,
The portal swings.
My lady comes a-calling,
In velvet dressed,
Her veil close pressed:
The formal talks appalling.
The style. the day,
The church. the play
Whatever line she fancies.
Ten minutes pass;
She says, alas,
Time flies" and off she dances.
No real word said
From heart or head,
No thought, to live In beauty:
Her list she checks
What names the next?
She's doing social duty.

WE'RE GA0WlNG TOO FLESHY.
Great Increase in Size OF Americans
During the Inst Ten Years.

New York Journal: The anthropological
department OF the United States govern
ment has recently noted with some alarm
a great increase in the size Of the Amer
lean citizen.
Figures collected from makers OF "store
clothes" show that within the last ten
years there has been an average increase
in the girth OF Americans of one inch and
quarter. 1t has been necessary to in
troduce a new size In the ready-made
tailoring business. Waistcoats and trous-
ers are now made to contain an American
with circumference OF forty-seven and
q quarter inches, whereas the limit OF
leading tailors then believed would never
be exceeded.
An increase In ten years Of an inch and
quarter In the equatorial measurements
Of the residents OF this country IL main
tained continuously at that ratio, means
an increase in 100 years Of twelve inches
and in thousand years Of 125 inches. In
other words in the year 2S99 there will be
Americans at large who will be sixteen
feet around.
A remarkable reason is given by the
anthropological department for this add
ed avoirdupois. 1t is said to be due to the
increased consumption of farinaceous
food. The dairy lunch counters which
have sprung up In thousands during the
past feW years are to blome. They feed
the public on things which go to make up
adipose tissue. The average citizen a few
years ago used to lunch upon slice OF
roast beef, but he now takes a bowl OF
milk full of crackers, a saucer OF corn
starch pudding and hunk Of pie. These
articles are exceedingly fattening.
There are many reasons for II besides
diet. The invention OF the elevator tends
toward the accumulation OF weight. The
telephone also saves a great deal of walk
ing. and is responsible for the accumula-
tion upon the American of enormous
quantities of stoutness. There are also
innumerable labor-saving devices in fac
tories and homes that conserve muscle
