BALLOONING BY MAIL
LATEST AERIAL DREAM

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.--Nearly every
thing on the face of the earth and the
waters beneath 1t has been covered by
the correspondence schools, but It has
remained for Albert Erica. who ar
rived from Paris on the White Star
liner Adriatic, to start correspond
ence course in ballooning.
Erica has pilots license from the
Aero club Of France. He believes he
can turn out good aeronauts In a very
brief space of time. Despite the fact
that conditions might arise which
would not give the amateur aeronant
time to look in a book or through a
sheaf of lesson papers to see the prop
er thing to do. Mr.. Erica is very con-
fident that his system OF ballooning
without balloon is a certain winner.

Pretty Lips.

Pretty lips are harder to acquire
than many other little points that
women work for, but with a little hard
work and patience they can be coaxed
to come and then made to stay. In
the first place. the lips must be made
firm before steps are taken to make
them red.
Dashing ice cold water on the lips
night and morning will make them
healthy and firm, and this also goes u
long way toward stimulating them and
making them red.
, Painting the lips night and morn
ing with rosewater and glycerin, half
and half. will make them red and
smooth, Brushing the lips once a
day with a soft little brush does much
TO stimulate the flow of blood and
beautify them.
Cologne is good for the lips and
perfumes them slightly.

BEST FORM OF EXERCISE.
Boston Girls Enthusiastic Over the
Use of DumbbeIls.

There is a good deal of enthusiasm
lately over dumbbells among the girls
who are always up on the latest for
keeping ones self in good trim. They
say that dumbbells are better than
plain calisthenics without any ap-
paratus, because they give you some
thing definite to do. These girls have
found it a great temptation in the
ordinary exercises simply to wave the
arms and legs about without any par
ticular object. Dumbbell drills are
better than raising chairs with one
finger and standing-on-your-h
stunts, because the average girl can
do them. while she often loses her
courage with the impossible exercises
In one boarding house in Boston
where number of business girls
live, there is dumbbell brigade,
which meets in one of the girls
rooms every night. Each girl comes
in kimono and armed with a pair of
lightweight dumbbells Then they go
through number of simple exercises.

be college girl. learned in the gym.
having little trouble in refitting their
clothing, as result of their dumbbell
drill, but they are wonderfully i'm
proved in figure and carriage since
they began work some weeks ago.
Their five exercises are worth know
ing, especially to girls who are get
ting bit round shouldered from bend
ing over their desks all winter, so here
they are:
Stand erect with the right foot
slightly in advance. Grasping the
dumbbells firmly. stretch both arms
up as high as possible. Breathe deep
ly. Rise on tiptoe if you can.
Place the left hand with dumbbell
against the waist Raise right hand
with dumbbell over the head Bend
the head and upper part of body to the
right. Reverse the motions and repeat
them several times. This exercise
gives feXibility to the waist: also
lengthens and tapers it
First, stand erect. Then bring the
upper part of the body forward. the
arms holding the dumbbels extended.
Let the head drop forward. Inhale
deeply. Then with slow exhalations
all the while bring the body to an up
right position.
With dumbbells grasped tightly,
stretch both arms upward horizontally.
Bend the arms at the elbows, and
bring the dImbbells back to the shoul.
ders with quick and very strong mo-
ton.
Clutch the dumbbells tightly and
bring them vigorously down against
the waist. Then thrust both arms
down. then out. then up with at least
"a dozen repetitions. After each move
ment, return the hands and dumbbells
TO the first position at the waist line.
or course, one should be careful to
use only light dumbbells and to avoid
the temptation to create knotty mus.

MAKE OVER LINEN SUIT.
Last Years Costume Will Do with a
Little Remodeing.

Have you last years summer suit
of linen, white, tan, or colored, which
needs remodeling? The styles of this
year differ from those of last year by
but a few points, which it is easy to
change.
The latest idea from Paris, and one
which bids fair to take firm hold OF
the American fancy, is using colored
cretonne for trimming. Just a touch
of it is sufficient to change an old
style suit to one which is up to date
and nobby.
If your suit is last summers one.
all you need, probably, is new set of
cuffs. with one of the new adjustable
shawl collars which can be put on
and taken off at will Or, if the coat
has rundown collar and mannish
revers, cut them off and finish the
front and neck edges with bands of
the cretonne, and if the skirt needs a
new touch or freshening up, finish the
lower edge with a band to match the
coat.
Probably the jacket of your linen
suit happened to be short and loose,
and has grown tight in the hips. II
so, open up the seams and slash the
coat, both front and back, to the depth
of about six inches, and finish the low
er edge of the coat with an inch wide
band of colored linen and run the
bands up along the edges where the
coat has been slashed to finish them.
The appearance of the coat may be
improved by changing the buttons Rip
off the old buttons and buy some but
ton molds. Cover with cretonne and
sew on to the coat. Buttons are sewed
TO dresses, coats and skirts not only
where they are needed, but also where
they are not needed. and where they
simply serve as trimming.

A MATTER OF CONFUSION.
No Soup, No Dinner, the Rule Laid
Down by Barney.

Six years ago, when the king visited
Dublin, some amusing incidents were
recorded due to the grotesqueness Of
some hotel walters apparently just
fresh from rural life.
One hotelkeeper told such a newly
imported Server" that he must al.
ways serve every one with soup at
dinner and be quite certain that he
had it.
Thereupon ensued the following
scene between a visitor and the new
waiter:
Soup, sir?" said Barney.
mo soup for me-" said the visitor.
But you must have it," said Bar
ney; Its the rules of the house."
Hang the house!" exclaimed the
visitor, highly exasperated. when
don't want soup 1 won't eat it. Get
along with you!"
Well" said Barney, with solemnity,
"all l can say is just this-it's the
rules of the house and sorra a drop
else yell get till ye finish the soup!"
