The Summer Fashions.

In the summer styles long, flowing
lines, sloping shoulder effects, quaint
collars and berthas are extremely pic
turesque, and never before have mate
rials lent themselves with such gracS
to the fashionable modes. There Is no
end to the variety OF collars, pelerines,
and other waist garnitures in lace. The
embroidered linens exhibited express In
the highest degree the present luxurious
trend of fashion; they are unquestion-
ably the novelty of the season. The
pure white and creamy batistes and
mulls are beautiful enough this season
to fashion a gown for the most ex-
elusive function; they are procurable
in both plain and embroidered effects.
Lawns Of all grades are shown and are
especially well liked for morning
frocks. Daintiness and simplicity are
the chief considerations in their make
up. Lingerie dresses evolved from the
sheerest and finest of lawns, organdies,
batistes and handkerchief linens are
elaborate enough for the most formal
occasions. No more serviceabe dress
can be found than one of a thin silk OF
japanese of China weave. lor, when
soiled, 1t can be washed perfectly. Fash

A LIfe-savlng Kite.

OF late years the kite has emerged
from the position of a mere toy. and
has been successfully employed for
meteorological observations at high al
titudes. A more recent application OF
the kite principle is as a life-savlng
appliance to be carried on shipboard,
It's particular duty being to establish
communication between a stranded
vessel and the adjacent shore. It
stands to reason that a ship in this
position generally has the assistance
of the wind in carrying anything
shoreward, and it would be far easier
to launch kite under such condi-
tions than 1t would be to fire rocket
In the reverse direction. The kite car
ries a guide rope and contains in a
pocket a set OF signals and instruc-
tions. 1t is also furnished with ap-
paratus for telephone communication
between the crew and their would-be
rescuers. But we must confess that,
seeing the frequent Difficulty Of tele-
phonic conversation ashore in a quiet
Office. We can hardly believe that It
would be possible in a bowling tenn
pest The kite is the invention Of
Comta Brossard, and II is said to have
been tried with success at Toulon and

To Reduce the Waist.

Lie supine, the arms at the sides.
Raise first one leg and then the other
until the knee is on level with the
waistline. Let the movement be slow at
first, and afterward as quickly as pos
sible. and do not exceed six times for
the first week. After two weeks, let
the movements continue until the legs
are tired.
Next, lie prone, the arms parallel
with the sides and the hands resting
on each side of the bust; then. without
moving the legs, rise slowly until the
arms are perfectly straight This ac-
ton will be felt at the waist and in the
arch of the back.
The next exercise should not be at
tempted until the two first described
are done with perfect ease. Lie prone
with arms and legs stretched apart as
far as possible, then lift both limbs at
the same time, raising them until the
body is supported only by that part
below the waist. Rest between each
movement.-American Queen.

About Sleeves.

In making a new sleeve or in alter
ing an old one there Is one general
scheme. The fulness which appears at
the elbow and below is either pleated
In or shirred in from the shoulder near
ly to the elbow. As TO the cuffs, into
which this fulness is caught, there are
two styles. either a broad. narrow cuff
or a deep and tremendous faring one,
reaching almost to the elbow. This
holds good for coats and coat suits es-
pecially. For shirt waists suits the
narrow cuff Is more popular.
