The Dainty Summer Girl.

The spic and span girl this sum-
mer certainly will have large laundry
bills, for never before have so many
accessories to the summer outfits been
launderable. Collars and cuffs or
starched vests are features of all the
new coats, and these must be i'm
maculately fresh and crisp to be pref
ty. The front of every suit shows a
more or less fluffy jabot. and these
need frequent laundering. Cream.
colored linen vests in lighter shade
than the suit color are feature OF
the new linen suits. Even gloves be-
long to the enlarged list Of summer
launderables. for Isle gloves are
worn already, and washable chamois
gloves in tan, white and the natural
color are among the prettiest Of the
seasons accessories The new striped
collar has become too common for the
fashionable girls approval.

There seems to be no limit to the

/ milk AN EXCELLENT COSMETIC.
Can Be Used In Many Ways to Very
Good Advantage.

Milk is a cosmetic that women of
to-day would do well to include in
their list of complexion washes.
For example, when a woman lie very
tired and her face has been exposed
to the sun and wind one of the best
lotions she can use is hot milk COM
press. For this purpose TIL, milk
hot-should be put into basin. and
then two soft pieces of muslin, large
enough to cover the ACE, should be
placed In the liquid. When these
cloths are saturated with milk that is
as hot as the land can endure, the
woman should lie down and spread
the congresses over her face. These
should remain on until the cloths have
cooled.
The muslin should not be wrung
any dryer than is necessary to prevent
stream of milk from running down.
and as rapidly as one cools another
warm compress must be applied.
This treatment should continue for
ten minutes, the final cloth being left
on as long as one has time to spare.
On getting up the face should be
wiped with a soft cloth. damp with
water, and then thoroughly dried. AZ
ter this treatment the skin will be
found soft and white, with none of the
dull or hard look that comes from ex-
posture.
The milk bath for the whole body,
despite the ridicule attached to it. is
beneficial and has the added merit OF
being inexpensive.
When preparing these baths a rich
quality of fluid is desirable. because
of the extra amount of cream. But
SKINNED milk is effective, too For
an ordinary tub anywhere from six
quarts to three gallons may be used
This is poured in. and then hot water
in sufficient quantity to cover the body
is added. In this one lies for Is or 20
minutes, the effect being softening and
| tonicizing to the skin as well as rest
full to the nerves. If this and milk
applications to the face are made
every other day, improvement in the
general looks cannot fail.
For those who can afford 1t, sweet
cream may be constantly applied. Only
very small quantity should be used
at time, for the instant 1t becomes
sour not only is its virtue gone. but
there is danger of injuring the skin
A simple preservative when cream Is
employed as n cosmetic is boracic
acid. One-half teaspoonful of this
powder is stirred through the cream
after 1t has been dissolved in wine
glass full of milk.

pARAsoL HANDLES VERY RICH.
Precious Metals, Fashioned Into Beau

The variety and beauty of parasol

buy without considering the cost par
icularly seem never to have been SO
treat as this season. Not only are
precious metals employed, but miner
ais well nigh as priceless are worked
Into most beautiful, If simple. shapes.
Ivory is carved with the delicacy and
grace Of fairy work, while woods, nat
ural and treated, are wrought into
things of beauty. Best of all, the
styles between those suited to q girl
and an older woman are so strictly
defined that there Is no danger of the
former being suspected of having bor-
rowed her mothers. Those for the
latter are ornate, while for girls they
are simple in their elegance.
Jade, that valuable Japanese stone.
is to be enormously fashionable this
summer. whenever 1t can be employed.
and 1t is to be seen for parasols treat
ed in many different ways. One de-
sign is simply long. graceful, pear
shaped knob, its beauty due solely to
the shading and translucency of the
stone and the grace of form. An elab-
oration of this, which might be car
ried by a girl of IS. has the handle

deeply inset, and there are gold tips to
finish the frame ribs. as well as gold
clasp for the strap. These sets of rib
tips. either in gold, silver or ivory
with clasps to correspond. are now
considered an inseparable part of
parasol mountings and are purchased
with the handles. The tips are quite
unornamented and. while not small.
cannot be called large.
Some long, slender crooks are cut
from jade. and less expensive. but
truly charming, are handles cut from
carnelian and various agates.
These show most exquisite shadings
and are particularly suited to cover
ings of silks in solid colors, the
shades. Of course. matching the
handle.
Copper, beaten and worked in most
artistic forms, Is a novelty of the sea-
son. The metal treated with acids
becomes mass of dull yet gorgeous
greens and blues, and so-called pea
cock eyes are sunk in for additional
ornament" One handle shows this
gorgeous bird, the lines. for convent
ence' sake. being made longer and
more slender. The, tail is enameled in
dull shades. and the bird is mounted
on an unpublished stick of oiled cedar.
In other handles the copper is mere
/ ly twisted, bent or chased. but the
dull shading always obtains. The de-
signs are not heavy in the hand. as the
forms are followed.

France Maintaining Her Sea Power

France Maintaining 'eT Sed 6o"e''
France proposes to maintain her
sea power. The new French Dread
naughts which are building are to
have ornaments which, it is said, will
place these vessels in class superior
to that of their British namesakes. A
Paris paper states that the new bat
tleships, six in number, are to be
armed with the heaviest types of naval
artillery used in France, each ship car
rying 16 guns. Great improvement in
the rapidity of fire has been made, and
a competition among French naval ar
morers for improved devices for the
rapid and efficient handling OF heavy
artillery on board ship has resulted
in an automatic mechanism that will
keep the guns trained on any fixed OBJ
ject as at first laid, in spite of the
roll of the ship. 1t is calculated that
the new battleships will be able to fire
liz tons of shot minute.
Several powerful armored cruisers
will also soon be added to Frances
navy. Thus. while army reduction
is favored, the sea power of the ma
ton is to be strengthened.

Aere commenced, and soon thousands
of native laborers and hundreds OF
Italian granite masons were hard at
work laying the foundations and pre-
pairing the bed of the river to receive
its enormous weight of masonry. In
February, 1899, the cornerstone OF the
dam was laid by the duke OF Con-
naught. Immediately after. the work
was fairly started. At times there was
great pressure to get section COM
plete before the inevitable rise of the
Nile. and as much as 5000 tons OF
masonry were executed per day.
On December 10, 1902, the dam was
formally declared complete. though so
many were the unseen and unexpected
difficulties encountered that at one
time Sir Benjamin Baker. under whose
advice the plans were accepted. stated
to Lord Cromer that he could form no
estimate of the actual cost or time that
might be involved. All that he said
when the rotten rock" in the bed OF
the river was discovered was that,
though conditions were bad, the job
could be done" To which Lord Gro
mer replied that. whatever the cost in
tiiHt VI iuouey, thc uahi huot NC Iii
ished.
This shows the spirit in which this
gigantic enterprise was conceived and
accomplished. On December 10. 1902
after three years of prodigious labor.
the dam was formally declared com
plete in the presence of the duke and
duchess of Connaught and Lord Gro
mer.
The quantity of water. now stored
is more than az times that contained
by the reservoir. and affords sufficient
irrigation for $4,000 acres of land for
merly lying waste in the southern
districts of Egypt The cost of this
extension is estimated at G1,500,000
English money. or $7,5OO.oOO American
coin.
One unfortunate feature about this
vast dam at Assouan is that the TEN.
pies of Philae and many others in
lower Npbia will be completely COW
cred by the damned up water, thus
causing undue saturation of the sandy
soil. which will probably undermine
the foundations of the temples and
ultimately cause their destruction II

placing them on other sites has al

In reaching for the prize of fertile
fields. which mean present prosperity,
Egypt bids fair to wreck. il not com
pletely lose the priceless archaeological
treasures which have been her peculiar
possession through the centuries, for
the raising of The great Assouan dam
has increased the height of the over
flow waters until many of the ancient
temples are completely submerged,
while others are partly so. This an
nual encroachment of the mighty wa
tiers Of the Nile upon the sacred places
of Egypt is undermining the vast piles
of stone and absolute ruin is newt
able. Thus must Egypt take the bitter
with the sweet. Thus for her fruitful
fields she must pay the price of her
ancient monuments.
The Assouan dam, $50 miles above
Cairo, was only completed short
time ago, and now the height of the
structure has been raised SO that the
waters of the Nile spread out over
larger area of country. This dam is of
solid masonry and Is penetrated by
$50 gates intended for regulating the
flow OF water. Constructed from gran
ite blocks brought from the old quar-
ries at Assouan. 1t runs directly
across the river for distance OF 2.15O
yards. Rising 1870 feet above the
foundation. the thickness OF the dam
varies from 90 feet at the top to 9S
feet at the bottom. The additional
masonry on the dam has raised 1t nine
feet SO that the stored water may
reach height of 90 feet above its old
level. The $50 sluice gates include 140
lower sluices 20 times 61s feet for the
distribution OF water and 40 upper
sluices Ga times IL feet to permit the
escape of surplus water. The iron
gates OF the sluices are regulated by
the help of electrical winches stand
ing on top of the dam. The total
length of the immense dam is IL
miles; the height from foundation
about 100 feet; the difference of level
water above and below ca feet and the
total weight of masonry over 100000
tons.
To the west OF the dam has been
constructed a navigation canal by
means of which boats are locked" up
and down stream. The same length
as the big dam, 1t is provided with
four locks each $50 feet long and three
feet wide The two upper gates of the
locks are 63 feet high. and the others
40, 80 and So feet high.
When the Nile begins to rise. usual
ly at the beginning of July, all the $50
sluices are opened. After December
1, when all the suspended mud has
passed through and the water has be-
come comparatively clear. the gates
are gradually closed. one after the
other in regular order. The lake upon
the dam becomes quite full about
February 1.
When the want of water in Egypt
begins to be quite noticeable. which is
about the end of April. the quantity
required for cultivation is drawn of
gradually from the reservoir until it
is entirely empty. This occurs usually
about the middle of July.
The original plan for the Assouan
dam was worked out by Sir William
Willcocks at the Egyptian ministry OF
public works, under the superinten-
dence of Sir William Garstin. under
secretary OF state. The carrying out
of the plans was intrusted to firm of
English contractors, Messrs John Arid
& Co. Two months after the signing
of the contract the permanent works
