1t took Mr.. Berwind twenty years to
get at the land he wanted before he
began building, and in this particular
he is more fortunate than his fellow
cottagers, for he has succeeded in
surrounding his place with open space
to give its lines fn9l effect. The villa
is full half nIIIe from the bay. It is
in the style of Louis XIV, and is built
of Indiana limestone.
The clever arrangement makes the
house look to be in the center of a
vast park, which to all appearances
stretches for miles.

many palaces in Newport are "The
Breakers" "Ochre Court" and the
Marble Palace
The late Cornelius Vanderbilt built
the first-named, and it is said that he
put absolutely no restriction on his
architect, the talented Richard Nor
ris Hunt.
Mr. Hunt, now dead, was allowed to
carry out in detail the elaborate de-
sign he conceived. 1t grew beyond it's
original plans. for the army of serv-
ants necessary to conduct such a man
sion during the Newport season
forced him to find more room than he
had first schemed for, and a house
meant for two stories had to go up to
four.
'The Breakers" fronts on the ocean
It is built of limestone, and each OF
the four elevations has it's own dis
tinctive charm. In one it is the en-
trance porch and driveway that ap
peals; in another the rounded projec
ton of the drawing room continued as
a bay in the second story; in the
third the double loggia filing out at
the center through two stories the
recess between the projecting wings;
on the front the lightness of effects
made by the elaborate and massive
lower openings contracted with the
simplicity of those above is the dis
tinctive and attractive feature.
Inside "The Breakers" carries sump
tuously to point to make the average
onlooker hold his breath in amaze

princess. She rejoices in everything
that is difficult, simply for the rea-
son that she knows that she is the
only woman in the world that can
wear difficult things. There will be
no, competition. Other women are
not built for princess gowns, and for
effective empire costumes.
An English physical culturist has
invented some exercises which he
calls the empire exercises. He took
them to Paris, but he found that the
women there did not need them. And
now he has sent them to this country.
The empire exercises are simple
enough. Put on something loose and
do this: Step forward and sink upon
knee. Regain your position and step
forward with the other foot and sink
upon the other knee. One foot goes
forward and the other knee bends.
That is the way to do it. The rule is
to keep on until you are pretty we'll
, tired out.
'The next of the empire exercises
consists in bending from side to side.
This is hard enough and most likely a
strain upon the muscles. But the en-
thusiast can take hold of a chair by
way of assistance and not bend too
far either way. The idea is to bend
the body until it feels supple. The
more bends in moderation the better.
"The neck must be small if one is
going to get the empire figure, and
this winter one must have this figure
even though one does not plan to
wear an empire gown. All dresses
are a little shorter in the waist line,
and not a word is heard about the
straight front.
The exercises for the redemption
of the throat are very pretty ones.
The head is thrown back and the
throat is exercised. This is practical
1y easy if one wants to do it. It needs
nothing more than "a. strong and sup
pie pair of arms. For the head is
thrown back upon the arms and rest
ed there. Then it is lifted and rested
again. Then it is thrown back again

Nobody ever called the American
woman chic said physical culturist
s,ni beauty lecturer. And nobody
ever Will. That is, not until she learns
how to be chic At present she is
t!l!;e hopeless from chic point OF view.
There were never as many pretty
American women as now. The girls
ire tall and fair and the women are
vuluptuous and blooming. All are
.o:l|y dressed. But when it comes to
being c!lc, they are not in it. A thou
rand times have been asked: How
tan | be chic? and hardly know
what to say.
One Of the principal reasons why
the French woman is chic is on ac-
count of her underwear. 1t jis al
ways dainty to the last degree. And
It shows, though she does not show it.
There is a subtle something by which
you can tell. 1t may be, only the sus-
picion of rustic; it may be only
chance display of lace; it may be just
the merest suggestion of lingerie, but
yCu get the idea that there is more
tlaintiness than shows upon the mere
surface.
The American girl wears expensive
enough lingerie, but she seldom makes
it chic There is something that is
lacking She may lift up her skirt
and show an all silk petticoat, but it
is not petticoat that bewitches. 1t
is merely a piece of silk. Only this
and nothing more. But the French
woman, if she were to lift her skirt,
would bewitch you. She would do it
with something that you might call
style.
The explanation is this: The
French woman never makes a mis-
take. In taste she is superb. If her
skirt is French pink, you may be
sure that her heels are French heels
and her stockings pretty stockings.
The English girl, on the other
hand, is quite pathetic in her combl-
nations. Under petticoat of charm
ing hue and irreproachable frou frou
size will display boots that are uncom-
promsingly masculine.
Her stockings will be at war with
the petticoat and the result is not
chic But the French woman never
makes such a mistake as this.
The American girl, charming as
she is, has great deal to learn OF
the French woman. And one thing
is how not to get fat, for one explana-
tion of the CHIC of the French woman
is that she is thin. 1t is said that the
French woman is naturally lean and
that she keeps her figure by simply
doing nothing at all. Yet this is not
wholly so. She diets and she eXer-
cises III her own way.
The French woman would hardly
go to gymnasium mornings, for it is
too much like hard work. But she
exercises in other ways. She does
her own housework and glories in it.
She is not lazy.
The American woman does not
like to market and she despises the
groceryman. She dislikes to attend
10 the detail of her household and she
abhors light housework. There is,
then, nothing left for her but the gym
nasium. And she must take to it to
keep her figure.

Palaces Erected by King
midas at Newport, K. /.

In Newport the word villa is an
other way of saying palace. -
Bellevue avenue, from one end to
the other, is lined with the most ex..
pensive homes in the world. These

Forty years ago lighthouses of those
who summered in Newport were real

have transformed the architecture.
To have one of theseiwonderful homes
on the summit of that ocean-swept
abode of aristocracy is. almost to pro-

"The French woman, at least such

form, never gets stout. And if stout,
she learns what to wear. She has
the art of looking chic, no matter how
fat she may grow. But the American
woman never.
''The fat American woman puts on
a white shirtwaist. She divides her
skirt from her waist with belt which
cuts her in two and makes her look
terribly short. And she wears a skirt
that is positively dumpy in it's lines.

In the manufacture of wax matches
and the long and slender tapers which
are known as rats de cave-cellar rats
the method introduced into France
by Pierre Blesmiare in the middle of
the seventeenth century is still in use,
says the Scientific American.
The method is practised to-day in
the Carriere factory, at Bourg la
Refine, near Paris. The cords of which
the wick is composed pass into a basin
of melted wax heated by a small fur
mace, from which they are drawn
through a perforated plate to a large
wooden drum which is turned slowly
by hand. The operation is repeated
two or three times, the size of the hole
through which the cord passes being
increased each time. When the waxed
cord has attained the required size it
is wound on large reels in skeins of
400 or 500 meters-about 1900 feet
which are boxed and shipped to whole

THE American woman is apt to

her waist line begins to thicken, and
at the time she is forty, it is gone.
At fifty it is SO wide that you would
not recognize it as belt line 1t is

THE BLooMINGKENIPER TRIAL
Rapid Progress Being Made by the
District Court-Jaynes
Case Next.

All day today the trial of John
Bloomingkemper. charged with cat
tie stealing, has been in progress in
the district court A large number of.
witnesses have been examined. The
prosecution rested its case last night
and today the defense has been intro
ducing evidence. This afternoon for
more than two hours the defendant
was on the stand. He was put through
most severe cross examination by
District Attorney Fry. the outcome of
the trial is in doubt.
AS stated previously by the SEN
tinel aMnager Parks, of the Seibcr
Cattle company, is the complaining
witness. It is charged that Bloom
ingkemper over a year ago separated
two calves from their mothers, on the
range in Grand County, Utah and
drove the calves to his ranch home
in this county.
1t is stated that several Of the
employees of the Seiber CATTLE com
pany found the two cows on the
range, lowing and believing over the
loss of their calves. For some rea-
sons suspicion pointed to Blooming
kemper, It is said, and the cows were
driven towards his ranch. The em-
pIoyes of the Seiber ranch, 1t is al
legged, saw two calves in corral at
the Bloomingkempe ranch and the
COWS at once recognized their of
springs and allowed them to take
nourishment. It is said to be fact
that no range COW will allow a calf
not her own to take nourishment
from her. consequently on the incl
dent of the cows accepting these calv-
es found in the Bloomingkemper cor
raj as their own the prosecution is
really based.
Bloomingkemper it seems, claims
that the calves were his own and not
the property of the Seiber company
It is said that the seiber company
has accused Bloomingkemper of
number of doubtful deals and of
stealing but this is the first complaint
ever filed,
Much bitterness is involved in the
case. BIoomingkemper has many
friends who claim he is innocent ana
is being prosecuted while on the other
hand many believe him guilty.
The next case to be taken up will
probably be the celebrated Jaynes
