BY KATHERINE MORTON. Q Copyright, 1903. by T. c. ,McCIure.)

clever woman with a slim neck and simmer pocketbook has invented the simplest and the cheapest gymnasium apparatus in the world
 F1fteen cents worth of white cotton elastic ribbon did the trick. The rib bon was an inch wide and cost ten cents yard. yard and a half was enough for the apparatus.
 She had visited an up-to-date gymna- sium where neck strap was attached to one of the pulley-weights, and she had seen the necks of several pupils put through their paces. The strap was placed around the neck ana then, by bending in various directions, the neck was exercised while it strained at the weights.
 Now the clever little woman realized that this training was exactly what her own neck needed. She had habit of look ing her mirror in the face and telling 1t the truth. The day before she had put on locket and chain which belong ed to her pretty sister, and the chain. meant to fit closely, had sagged low. while the locket fell into miserable lit tie hollow at the base of her throat the sister was by no means stout.
 My neck Is a fright" said the pain- fully honest little woman. She vowed great VOW to give up the evening dress
 But when the neck strap in the gym nasium suggested her own invention, she plucked up courage and went to work to adapt her own neck to the evening dress instead of the dress to the neck.
 ''It has been hard work to develop my 0eck," she says, but 1t has paid In fact, think a pretty neck would pay for double the amount of effort"
 As pretty one as hers certainly would. The side line, wSere the neck runs into the shoulder. is now a grace full curve instead of a right angle The three hollows in front. which her small brother had once dubbed the gigantic depressions. The neck is firm and smooth.
 She Is proud of her little invention and has spread the news of it among heI friends. She has started a small fad fol what brother irreverently calls Sister. Rubber Neck System"
 When she began her neck exercises she took them all alone, mailing one end oi the elastic to the wall. but afterward de veloped a double harness. In this, she and gir lfriend are practicing together
 To make an exerciser for two, loop must be made at each end of the elastic. A little more than a foot of the elastic is used for each loop. The loops will not be large enough to pass over the head easily, but must be fastened with pin or knot. A still heater device is to make buttonhole in each end of the electic, sew a button about twelve or fif- teen inches from each end, then button each girl into her harness
 When this is done there will be a band of two feet or more between the per- sons. This band will give resistance while you work.
 For the first exercise, stand face to face, just far enough apart to let the band be stretched without straining Place the heels together. Hands on hips, thumbs meeting at the back. Throw the chest forward. raise the head erect By way of preliminary, take five long breaths. inhaling with the mouth closed and exhaling with 1t open.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-02-21

| One of you must count, for If you do not work in harmony, there will be some sorry tugging and jerking. At coGnt l one, throw the head back as far as pos | slble; at two, bring 1t back to an erect position. Twenty counts of this will be enough for the beginner. You should 1 feel 1t a decided effort to stretch the farther apart. The neck muscles must feel that they are working hard.
 Now, turn back to back, taking the same position as before. You will find that the ribbon loops adjust themselves naturally as you shift. Go through the same preliminary breating as before. Now, counting in the same way, bend the head forward until the chin touches, and raise the head to an erect position
 In this, as in all similar exercises, be sure that your neck does all the work. Don't allow any bending at the waist.
 Next, stand so that you both face in the same direction, Bend the head out ward. Count as above while you bend away from each other. Now, turn about so that your positions will be reversed and the one who before bent to the right will now be bending to the left. These sldeward bends will exercise the muscles at each side, as the other exercises used those in the back and front
 If you have no partner In your exercise, make the wall do the work of the other girl In this case there will be a loop in only one end of the ribbon. The other ena Is to be nailed securely to the wall 1ou can go through the same exer- cises in this way with equally good re- suits. although far less fun,
 +hls work can be combined with other exercises so as to break the motonov TOT instance, when the two of you arc stahdlng back to back. you may place the nsts on the shoulders backs of tbe hands upward and elbows out at tbe aiue. !hen' on the first count while the neau H bending forward, extend the l hands and arms together until thev raach outward horizontally. maIing 1a.l leVel stretch from shoulder to finger tin At count two, while the head is becor- | Ing erect again, curl the hands into es+s
 at the same time bringing them hacL ne
 the shoulders. If you are inpapio,,H you will think of many other foot ana work. "''' neck
 These same bending motions can he | practlsed without the elastic. hut its ro
 sistance adds to the effort and to tbo | good results 'iie
 twisting is as valuable as bending and Is practiced without any apparatus | whatever. Taking a standing position twist the neck as far as possible to the right side, then to the left, four times each. Alternate for four more counts Increase the number of counts daily, If you will place the hand on one side of the neck while you are twisting toward the other. you will feel something that resembles the tugging of cordage. That same ''cordage' gives promise of firm and rounded meek.
 Neck and shoulders can hardly be de- veloped separately. Whatever develons one is of certain value to the other. Their beauty must grow in harmony. for evening dress reveals them both. There woyld be little enough satisfaction fin plump shoulders if a neck like that of a young ostrich should rise above them. Work for their common good.

FOR. TME SIDE OF THE NEcK-

For one exercise, raise the shoulders as nigh as possible .as if in an exagger- ated shrug. Draw them forward as far as you can. While they are still raised move them toward the rear. then dron them and push them forward again, thus Keeping up a sort of circular motion. Stop this exercise the instant 1t becomes tiring to you,
 One of the simplest exercises known Is the best for filling out those melancholy holloWs just in front of the shoulders. stand with the arms extended directly in Iront or you, palms together, thumbs up The tips of the upraised thumbs should be on level. Bring the arms back as far as possible. then swing forward again and so on in slow rhythm.
 Dumbbells are particularly good for the shoulders. Use a bell that is light enough for you to lift without effort. Holding the bells, drop the arms loosely at the sides. At count one, raise the bells slowly to the shoulders, doing this with an outward movement, which fin- ally brings the elbows directly out at the sides. Lower the arms at count two If you have no dumbbells, use light flat irons
 If fiat-irons are lacking. or too heavy, use your imagination. Say to yourself, T have heavy weight in each hand, and go through the motions with that fancy firmly planted in your mind. This Is good training in mental concentration, besides being physical culture.
 Stand facing the wall, toes about two feet from 1t. Place the palms against the wall at whatever height brings the arms horizontal. Fall forward until the chest touches the wall, then push your self back to an erect position without moving the feet.
 Vocal culture and massage with roller, ball hand or the new bag. are of estaD- llshed value in developing neck and shoul- ders.
 Since the years of choking collars-col- lars that belonged to the middle ages. when thumb-screws and broken glass for hare feet were in fashion-women are "eepng over wrecked necks. There Is nc Qulek cure for these, but patience will accomplish wonders. In the first place, IorsWear all collars that are starched or sunny lined. Take advantage of this year charming fad of soft stocks. Noth- lhg could be prettier than the new ones l orhamented with Russian cross-stltch or 1 sdtln-stitch. They fit the neck so per them up.

 Swans are seldom seen in the mar kets here of late years, and they are not much missed, as they are rather a coarse and tough fowl for the table. Looking at brace of them, MT. Morgan, a pioneer settler of Suavies Island and proprietor of one of the best duck la1es there. covering fifteen acres. remarked that swan which used to visit this sec- ton in thousands are now very scarce, since the wapatoes on which they used to feed were exterminated. "In early days" he said. T have seen thousands of them on my lake at time, fairly covering the whole fifteen acres and looking as if a man could walk across on them. In those days hunting parties often shot twenty or thirty of the big fowls. enough to make a wagon load They are inquisitive birds, and when a band was shot at they would fly off to a distance, but if hunting dogs were to chase up and down the shore of the lake they would swim back within gun shot to look at them, and canvasback ducks used to do the same. Now the canvasback have practically disappeared with them"

RETIRING FROM tn PASS.
Keller Reported To Be Harassing
japanese in Retreat.

Liao-Yang, July 2--The japanese Guards Di-
vision. which was engaged in the attack on Ia
Pass, is retiring eastward, and General Count
Keller, who has been reinforced Is following
up the japanese.
A correspondent of The Associated Press who
has just returned from the headquarters of Cen
eral Keller's corps reports that on Wednesday
q japanese division advanced by tortuous de-
file about thirty miles east of LACY Yang.
General Keller had no artillery posted, but
had stationed three battalions of Infantry along
a crest commanding the pass. An obstinate
fight followed and lasted the whole night. The
!. Russians lost fifty and the japanese
casualties were larger. On Thursday morning
General Keller retired successfully, withdraw
ing his men from the narrow denes
An almost complete change of plans was dis
played by the japanese Friday in retiring
upon Hoi-Chan. General Keller in the mean
time. had been reinforced by artillery, and he
harassed the japanese rear. Owing to the
heavy rains the movements of the guns and
transport wagons exceedingly difficult
1t is believed that the japanese have lost an
opportunity Of attacking Lao-Yang or cutting
the Russian lines of communications.
The rains render il Imperative to suspend
operations. q
