There can be no candy, no enticing

saccharine can be used), no desserts;
nor can there be anything fried, nor

potatoes and beets-must be left out
OF this spartan diet. and butter is for

rIals for Summer II Pretty
Shirt Waists.

Blue, white, pink and other daintily
tolored brgandies, muslins, bareges and
grenadines are effectively trimmed with
ruches and ruffles of the dress fabric
edged with black lace. On the bodice
is a mixture of these decorations with
bands Of lace insertion, or very often
there are yoke and sleeves of net match
Ing the lace in design.
:. Very handsome costumes of vicuna,
lightweight ladies' cloth, or soft kid
cloth, are made of two distinct shades
of the fabric, and decorated with straps
of the darker shade and small round
tailor buttons; or, if daintier effect
Is desired. straps, vest and revers of
cream or white cloth are used, with a
yoke of braidwork or silk cordapplique.
The white-cloth decorations give style
to the gown, while not adding much to
the expense: as three-Quarters of yard
Of this wide fabric will cut up into plen-
ty of trimmings for both waist and
skirt.
Very dainty and pretty effects are
devised by the modistes in finishing the
tops OF. sleeves Of gowns already in
preparation for the summer season, the
shape below the shoulder being, with
but exception, plain, trim, and ex-
ccedingly close. Gowns of net, lace,
chiffon, etc, have narrow tucks, alter
mating with bands of insertion, or they
hre shirred round and round the arm
spirally, or trimmed with folds and odd
ly placed designs in lace applique. In
every case. however, the sleeve is a
small one, ample in effect, and one
with which most women are now great
ly pleased.
. Some pretty shirt-waist models have
been designed for the coming sum-
mer, some of tn em showing deep sail
or collar, joined to pointed revers that
reach the belt in front; the entire piece
Of woven guipure lace, with cuffs and
girder to match. These trimmings
adorn pique, linen and duck waists, az
well as those of taffeta, foulard, or
wash silk; other styles are trimmed
with very handsome Swiss or Irish em-
broideries. Again waists are seen with
removable vests, stock collars, and
girdles of liberty satin. Besides these
are countless morning waists formed OF
India linen, percale, dimity, bishops
lawn, fine qualities of dotted and cross
barred muslin, plain and fancy swivel
silk, and zephyr gingham. The ma
Jority of these resemble as nearly as
possible boys shirt waist, with a
single plait down the front, few gath
ers on each side of this plait and on the

is shaped with but little fullness on the
shoulder, and the entire model is small
and extremely plain.-N. Y. Post.

While general exercise is valuable, it

exercise which works wonders. 1t

upright position-that is. put the heels
together, the arms by the side and the
head high, and the spine curved to
throw the chest out and the hips back.
Then touch the floor in, front of the
feet with the fngertips, without bend
snp the knees. Rise to the standing
position, and repeat is times If there
is much fatigue. raise the arms over
the head before descending, to soothe
md stimulate the nerves of the back.
This simple exercise has been known
ito reduce the weight 20 pounds in
three months. the greatest effect be-
ing over the abdomen
At first there will be difficulty in
reaching the floor without bending the
knees, but this can, be overcome by
persistent effort, which adds interest
to what might seem monotonous ana
meaningless. Drop the arms, and by
a series of up and down notions IKE
pumping, the tense muscles OF back
and thigh will relent, and the hands get
nearer to the floor. At the end OF
;week the difficulty should be overcome
and suppleness gained. ,..,

Met huen'S Victory.

New York, Nov. PA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: Long after
midnight an official dispatch was receiv-
ed at the war office bringing news of a
battle fought by General Methuen at
Belmont with the Free Staters the re-
suit being a complete victory for the
Kimberley relief column.
General Methuen founu the Beers
strongly entrenched and provided With
plenty of guns. The ground they chose
to defend was cleverly selected and in
driving them from their position the
British troops had To carry three ridges
in succession which seems almost repe-
titon of the battlefield of Elandslaagte,
The last ridge was carried al the point
of the baynnet bv the guard. The Brit
ish losses as officially reported were three
officers killed and - wounded. IS nan

London, Nov. 24.-The pathetic scenes
marking the days following the engage
ment between the British and Beers at
Glencoe and Nicholson's Mex found their
counterpart at the war office here to-day.
Long before the doors of the war office
opened troubled and anxious women and
men in all stations in life were assembled
here, and when the inquirers were fin
ally admitted their anxious questions
showed they feared that yesterday even
ing the official bulletin though black
enough. had not recorded the full story
Of British losses at Belmont
Up to noon the government officials
had issued no further dispatches, and so
the nervous distrust Of the public re-
mains unalleyiated. General Methuen's
message leaves great deal to be ex-
planned. According to all previous facts
obtalnable as to the relative strength of
the FORCES the Beers must have been in
a decided minority yet the total Brit
sh loss--22o killed, wounded and miss
ing proves the effectiveness of their re-
sistance and amply justfies Methuen's
tribute to the courage and skill with
which the burghers fought The fact
that no guns and only forty prisoners
were captured by the vctors and that
the Beers carried off their dead and
wounded shows they retired in an order
~ manner without precipitation or con-
fusion and that probably the Beers cas-
ualties were not numerous, owing to the
strength of their position.
The destruction of Boer ammunition
captured is taken as an indication that
Methuen occupied the captured position
at Belmont and destroyed the Boer sup
plies in order not to hamper the mme-
dlate advance of his flying column which
is marching in the lightest order The
road is now presumably open 10 the
Roer position on Modder Ir,.r where the
guards, who apparently bore the brunt of
yesterdays fighting, within all prob
ability will have another chance to get
at close quarters with the bayonet

guards who was dangerously wounded at

The governor of Natal has forwarded
the following dispatch to the colonial
office:
"Tugela drift was attacked during the
morning of Thursday. Nov. 23 by 25O to
300 Beers who are believed to have ad-
vaneed from HelDmakaar and Imvot
The mounted rifles under Nj jor Leuchers
and a small body of Natal police, a total
of lao men, posted south of the river
bank forced the Beers to retire after two
hours fighting. Our loss was a sergeant
major wounded. The Tugela rose dur
ing the day and is now reported impass-
able except by boats.'

IN which he says the insurgent govern

Aguinaldo is in hiding. The dispatch is
as follows:

no longer under any fiction: its treas
urer, secretary Of the interior and pres
ident Of the congress are in our hands
It's president and the remaining cabinet
officers are hiding. evidently in different
central Luzon provinces. Its generals
and troops are in small bands scattered
through these provinces acting as ban
