The girl of adorable curves Is broad In the chest and round in the neck, with Q full bust.
 The hat-chested girl may be a nice girl, but she is not attractive outwardly. But there is one thing she can do. and that is develop herself.
 The best treatment for scrawny girls and women who desire to increase the bust measurement is, first and foremost. as much rest as possible; then freedom from all cares and. anxieties, nourishing food, deep breathing, vocal culture, gym nastics, out-of-door exercises, hot water ablutions, followed by cold water and friction, with a lotion of skin food and massage.
 This regime includes eight or ten hours of sleep. which must be natural. All sleep induced by drugs or sedatives is positively destructive to physical beauty, and a thousand times worse than insom- mia in its effects. The diet should con- sist of farinaceous foods, grains, milk. cream, cocoa, eggs and sweets in any wholesome preparation.
 It is impossible to develop the bust if there is any structure about the waist or chest; therefore the corset should be loose. Padding of any sort Is death to the natural beauty of a womans figure. No amount of padding will make a wo- man look round. There will be a sloping in, a queer hatpess, tendency to hol- lownesa, that cahnot be disguised.

voices and use them are generally very full in the bust and rather inclined to be stout: but that stoutness. instead Of being a pudgy fat, is that of muscular development. They are strong in the, lungs and usually of good figure. They understand the art of correct breathing and know how to strengthen the muscles of bust and chest by athletics.
 One good exercise is to raise the arms in front of the body, with the hands re- faxed and the back of the wrists upward then raise them apove the head; bring them back and downward to the sioe' then up above the head again.
 The movement should be slow ana even, bringing the arms as far backward as possible. Gradually increase the ra- pidity until the movements are, made with such quickness that the arms ap- pear like a wheel. Reverse the motion, bringing the arms from the back to the front.
 Exercise with. dumb-bells, which must not be too heavy, are splendid chest de- velopers. Take a dumb-bell in one hand and life 1t as high as possible, keeping the arm straight Lift 1t with some force, so as to exercise the muscles of the chest, and hold up the dumb-bell while you count ten. Support the arm with the other hand, so as to exercise both arms at the same time. Repeat this ten times, counting ten each time. then take the dumb-bell in the other hand and repeat the movements.

out by the banking house of John L. Will Hanson & Son of Richmond, va..S they have the following to say in reference to the Seaboard Air Line-Rock Island situa- ton:
 "The most important event of the week in railroad and financial circles was the entrance into the Seaboard Air Line situation of new and strong interests which are closely identified with the great Rock Island system and which will naturally form the basis for a close rela- tionship and harmonious cooperation in the future between these two important systems-the seaboard Air Line system. extending from Baltimore and Washing ton from tho north to Birmingham. Ala. Montgomery. Ala. and Tallahassee, Fla, in the southwest. and reaching nearly all the important seaports on the south At lantic coast. and the Rock Island system, which including It's recent acquisition, embracing such cities and points of dis tribution and consumption as Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis and Birmingham in the east Cat which latter point connection is made with the Seaboard Air Line), and KansasN City. Omaha. Denver and Fl Paso on the Mexican border. in the west and southwest.
 Newspaper stories to the effect that the Southern Railway or the Atlantic Coast Line Railway or the allied interests of either of these two systems, has &C., quired an interest in the seaboard prop erty are incorrect.
 The Seahoard Air Line system and the Rock Island system are in no wise com petitlve. An examination of the map will readily disclose the great advantagey and benefits which would naturally arise from the cooperation and alliance bc- tween these two properties. The Rock Island system places the Seaboard sys- tenn in direct contact with the great granaries and storehouses of the west, northwest and southwest. while the Sea- board furnishes the Rock Island direct outlet to seven important seaports on the Atlantic and Gulf coAsts, including Ball timore, Norfolk. Wilmington, Savannah, Fernandina, Jacksonville and Tampa, and furnishes the shortest and most direct route. with favorable grades, from Kan sas City to .tidewater.
 Work is now being rapidly pushed on the Seaboard's Birmingham extension, which is to. he completed in 1904
 ''rhe situation of the company financial ly is strong. The business offered to the road for the past two years has been greater than it's capacity to move. In the past twelve or eighteen months it's equip- ment has been increased by the purchase of more than two hundred new large capacity freight cars and of many new and powerful locomotives of the most improved type. Large expenses have been made in bringing the physical con- ',ition of the property up to its high stan dard. A great number of new industries have been built along its lines. The

Melt the first four ingredients in dou- ble boiler. While cooling add the other ingredients, stirring constantly.
 Another good bust developer consists of cocoa butter and sweet oil half and half. melted together and rubbed in from neck to waist. and from arm to arm.
 In regard to the difference in size be- tween the normal waist and the normal bust. ten inches is agreed upon by most authorities as the correct measurement.
 In order to decide this question two women physicians have been consulted.
 One says: There Is no' fixed propor- ton between the size of the bust and the size of the waist. Still less can there be any fixed measurement for either waist or bust. seeing that this must vary with the height of the individual and other circumstances. The general rule about the typical female figure is that the breadth of the shoulders should cor respond to the breadth of the hips. The size of the waist varies not only with the expansion of the lower part of the chest, but also with the development of the muscles and the amount of fat upon them.
 'The test of tight lacing is not the ab- solute size of the waist, but the degree of compression of the parts needed in order to allow the corset or dress to fasten. When there is no compression the corset should fasten easily in the middle. But ordinarily the corset cannot be fastened in the middle until the top has been fastened. It Is then always too tight.
 "Undeveloped chests and waists are not always due to compression of cloth ing. but sometimes to lack of systematic development by exercise and gymnastics during the growing period, from 10 to IS. It is then that corsets are most dan gerous. and then that mothers apply them to form the figure If not worn before 9, corsets may be worn after wards with impunity."
 The other physician who was consult ed on the subject, said: Tn my opinion ten inches is the proportionate difference between waist and bust measurement"

The chin should be square and firm. The nose, however, gives the most important indication as to the persons breathing capacity. A woman with a nose that Is wide and full through It's whole length and has open nostrils. probably has good lungs and good heart, and will live longer than a person whose nose is pinched and whose nostrils are narrow. The secret of longevity is to have eight hours sleep. Sleep on the right side: keep the bedroom window open all night: don't have the bed against the wall; eat little meat and see that 1t is well cooked: exercise daily In the open air: live in the country If you can; take frequent and short holidays; limit your ambition and keep your temper.

In the third case there was difference of nine inches, and in the fourth of ten inches. Afterward the measure was taken of a woman who had never worn cor set ih her life, and the difference be- tween the two points was barely SIX inches.

the shoulder and back again: then fling she arm out backward and forward with as as much rapidity and force as possible, Then try 1t with the other hand.
 For the third exercise take the dumb bell In both hands. and stretch the arms out at tull lsngth in front of the body. Bring them hack until the dumh-beli touches the chin. Stretch them out again and then back, and backward and for ward while counting twenty. Then take dumb-bell in each hand and stretch the arms out at full length from the shoulder, Repeat this several times.
 Not only the bust, but the neck can be developed in the following way:
 As you walk about raise the shoulders quickly. and tEen throw them back and down. Count quickly as you do it--1-2-3-- raising them at l. and so on. Keep the chest out, and be careful each time not to let the shoulders come forward at the last count-3. They must go down and back,
 As you walk keep the chest pushed out and the abdomen and stomach drawn in. See how long you can hold your breath. ana as you mold it, raise the chest higher and higher.
 Any woman who will try these exer- cises faithfully every day for three months will add at least two inches to her bust measure.
 Blowing soap bubbles Is another way
  pipe and begin to blow bubbles. Practice blowing until you are able to hold the pipe steadily and to keep the bubble whole. This calls for slow, gradual ex- halation. for If you blow quickly your | bubble will burst.
 Take long. deep breath fG,duqlly let out the breath, blowing a bubble as you do so.
 Stand up, relax the muscles of the chest. suddenly lnf1ate and blow big bubble as slowly as you can.
 Lie upon your back, throw back the shoulders. fili your chest and bow. with your chin as far back and as high as possible.
 Blowing bubbles may be made a pleas ant pastime as well as a useful one. You can blow bubble upon a flower Din the flower into the solution of soap and water, and then blow bubble upon the ton of it.
 For bubble blowing without pipes. inn merse the hands in howl of water and rub one hand lightly with bit of soap. Close this hand. and then open 1t so that the tips of the thumb and first fin ger join to form a ring. across which soap film is stretched. Then blow upon the liquid film. It dilates at once. and if the stream of air Is kept up the .bub- ble grows to large proportions Any bubble blowing exercises are splendid for developing the chest.
 Flesh building is aided by the external application of a lotion made of h dram of spirits of camphor, E ounce of tincture of myrhh i ounce of alconol and ounces of peppermint water, Mix thoroughly and apply after bathing the bust with cold water containing h teaspoonful of powdered alum to the pint.
