Her great aim is that the silhouette
should be perfect and there is no surer
test Of good dressing than to Judge the
effect Of q figure at a distance, says the
Philadelphia Ledger The line, what
the French call la ligne. must first be
studied; the details Of revers, cuffs.
and cravats then follow. We, as a
rule, make the mistake Of giving too
much attention to detail, and not sum-
cient thought to the broad lines. II we
would look at ourselves through a
looking glass at some distance, of, and
without the preconceived idea that we
were, to e our own reflection, we
should see the faults that would be
very easy to correct, chiefly, in the
length of our skirts in front, and the
way our hats are placed upon our
heads. 5

.rHHL.
Every one knows that bane Of the
cheaper apartment house, odor Of dead
and gone dinners that lurk in the. dark
halls, and, becoming mixed with the
newer smell Of corned beef and cab
bage, greet m on every landing.
Boarding houses are likewise subject
to prevalence Of cooking smells. per-
haps because the kitchen is not we'll
ventilated, perhaps so little care is
exercised to keep things from slipping
over and burning. Odors are subtle
things. and once set free to md their
way through the house they + not SO
readily cleared out again. In dealing
with those in the kitchen prevention is
the best weapon Of all. There Is the
heavy and offensive odor Of stale
grease which results mostly from care
lessness. The sharp smell of burned
or scorched things may be avoided. A
fruitful source Of Ill odors consists in
leaving unwashed pots and pans on The
range, and for this the best care Is
washing soda and boiling water. II
the water and soda r put into ket-
ties and cooking dishes as soon as the
food is removed from their depths,
the dishes can be left. standing at the
back Of the range, with distinct ad-
vantage. says the Philadelphia In
quirer.

THREE FORMIDABLE BASES.
french Plan. for worrying England Ars

Quite Comprehensive.
Apart from Bizerta and other Med
feranean stations, which are intended
to get the mastery over the Gibraltar
and Malta route, says the Engineer,
the French r creating three formida-
BILE bases on the Cape route to India,
and the extreme East. The first Of
these is Dakar in Senegal, for which
a fresh grant Of 1O,550, 60Of has been
made. Dakar is to be the headquar-
tiers of a feet of cruisers which will
sweep the Atlantic along the West
coast Of Africa, and it is also proposed
to constitute a station at Pore de
France, in Martinique, SO that the
commerce d%estroyers will be able to
patrol the ocean east and west, and
extend their operations northward
across the path Of merchant vessels
running between England and the
West Indies. The second basis is at
Diego-Saurez, in Madagascar, which
commands, the. route between the Cape
and India. The work Of equipping
this port is regarded as one Of the
most urgent and necessary, and the
Chamber voted an additional grant Of
l0,O00,O00f to allow Of the constructions
of. a dry dock. Diego-Saurez. is be-
coming the most formidable naval sta
ton in the Indian Ocean, and is likely
to be q perpetual menace to South At
rica. The works at Saigon, for which
a further sum Of 3,0o0,00of has been
voted, are being carried. out for the
protection OF the Indo-Chinese possess
sions. and anording q basis for the
ships Of war which will operate in
the Chinese seas.

The Reading Cure.

Reading aloud is recommended by
physicians as a benefit to persons af-
tected with any chest complaint. The
recommendation is made because in all
cases of lung trouble it is important
tor the sufferer to indulge in exercise
by which the chest is in part filled by
and emptied Of air, for the exercise is
strengthening to the throat, lungs and
muscles of the chest.
Reading aloud can be practiced by
all and besides being curative act
IAN be pleasure and profit to both
reader and hearers. In this treatment
It Is recommended that an overdose Of
medicine be avoided, that the reading
De deliberate, without being allowed
to drag, that the enunciation be clear,
the body be held in an easy, unstrain-
ed upright position, so that the chest
will have free play, and that the
breathing be natural and as deep as
possible without undue effort.
