How to put On corsets.

French women are wont to blame
our countrywomen for the way IN
which they spoil their well.made cor
sets for want of proper adjustment.
Before putting them on the lace at
the back should be brought out al
most to It's fullest extent. and the
lace should be so put i'll that it can
be drawn tight ut the waistline by
means of the two ends. which are
brought round the waist and tied in
front; this gives the proper curve 10

properly adjusted 1t spells the set

always start from the bottom up.
wards; the laces should be each five
yards long. and you require two In
putting them in from side to side
they should he crossed, beginning in
the top hole. and should be drawn
pretty tight at the bottom. AT the
wnistlino each lace is pulled through
to the outside and put into the next
hole horizontally on the same side OF
the corset, which gives the loop Icy
which the ends can be pulled taut.
Not one woman in n thousand draws
the laces out sufficiently to make
them easily adjustable to the figure
OF the moment. which is not always
the same. This enables it to be pull
cd down on TO the hip. and this treat
ment gives that bend at the hack
which is so essential and the mode
of the moment is for Il well-shaped
waist. The mistake is to tighten the
ribs ut all. At the waist il has no
ill.effect, and before the laces are
brought to the front they should be
crossed at the back.-The Queen.

woman's face, however much they
may signify either mental or bodily
vigor. and when they are not ouly

they are disagreeable and are said to

lighter in color than the hair the indi-
cations are lack Of vitality and great
sensitiveness.

Thousand Dollar Flight.

Airship flights for a thousand

Aeroplane Day at the jamestown
Exposition, Sept. 18th. at which
time many members of the Aero
Club and a number of we'll known
aeronautical men of Europe viii
be guests of the Exposition.
The feature of the day will be
the competition for the Scienti-
fic American flying machine
trophy, in which will be entered
only flying machines OF the
heavier-than-air type.
In an interview with Israel
Ludlow, Director of Aerenautics
of the jamestown Exposition.
the first list of the probable con-
testants has been secured.
Mr.. Ludlow himself is now
putting the finishing touches OF
his latest aeroplane, which will
enter the contest. The engine
for the machine has just arrived
from the builders, and the aero
plane will be tried out some time
during the present months. Mr.,
Ludlow states that this machine
is 40x25 feet in size, and twice
as large as any he has hereto
fore constructed. When it en-
tiers the Scientific American con-
test, Capt. 7. T. Love will be
the naviator. The machine is on
a pontoon boat and its designer
expects to have torpedo boat
to tow it on the day of the con-
test.
The contest will take place
over Lees Parade grounds and
the waters OF Hampton Roads.
just off the Exposition grounds.
The rules covering the COMPETE
tor, which have been published,
were formulated by the Acre
Club O. America. The trophy
offered by the Scientific Ameri-
can is valued at 100000 and it
is open to competition by inven-
tors the world over.
This will be the Inauguration
of a series Of competitions which
will in the future be held annu-
ally. The machine which accom-.
plishes the required flight in the
shortest time and with the best
display of stability and ease of
control, shall be declared win
ner.
