IN FASHION'S REALM.
Handsome Costumes of Light Mate
rials for Summer — Pretty
Shirt Walsts,
Blue, white, pink and other daintily
colored organdies, muslius, bareges and
grenadines are effectively trimmed with
ruches and ruffles of the dress fabric
edged with black lace. On the bodice
is a mixture of these decorations with
bands of lace insertion, or very often
there are yoke and sleeves of net mateh
ing the lace in design.
Very handsome costumes of vicuna,
light-weight ladies’ cloth, or soft kid
cloth, are made of two distinet shades
of the fabric, and decorated with straps
of the darker shade and sm«ll round
tailor buttens; or, if a daintier effect
is desired, straps, vest and rcevers of
cream or white cloth are used, with a
voke of braid-work or silk cordapplique,
The white-cloth decorations give style
to the gown, while not adding much te
the expense, as three-quarters of a yard
of this wide fabric will cut upinto plen
ty of trimmings for both waist and
skirt.
Very dainty and pretty effects are
devised by the modistes in finishing the
tops of sleeves of gowns already in
preparation for the summer season, the
shape below the shoulder being, with
out exception, plain, trim, and ex
ceedingly close. Gowns of net, lace,
chiffon, ete., have narrow tucks, alter
nating with bands of inscrtion, or they
are shirred round and round the arm
spirally, or trimmed with folds and odd
iy placed designs in lace applique. In
every case, however, the sleeve is a
small one, simple in ecffect, and one
with which most women are now great.
Iy pleased.
Some pretty shirt-waist models have
been designed for the coming sum
mer, some of them showing a deep sail
or collar, joined to pointed revers that
reach the belt in front; the entire piece
of woven guipure lace, with cuffs and
girder to match. These trimmings
adorn pique, linen and duck wuists, as
well as those of taffeta, foulard, or
wash silk; other styles are trimmed
with very handsome Swiss or Irish em
broideries. Again waists arg seen with
removable vests, stock collars, and
girdles of liberty satin. Besides these
are countless morning waists formed of
India linen, pereale, dimity, bishops'
lawn, fine qualities of dotted and cross
barred muslin, plain and funey swivel
silk, and zephyr gingham. The ma
jority of these resemble as nearly as
possible a boy's shirt waist, with a
single plait down the front, a few gath
ers on each side of this plait and on the
choulders, and a double- pointed yoke
on the back. The regular shirt slecve
is shaped with but littie fulluess on the
shoulder, and the entire model is gmall
and extremely plain.—N. Y. Post.
CURE OF OBESITY.
A Simple Course of Exercise and &
Restrictive Diet Accomplish
Wonders.
While general exercise is valuable, it
is not alone suflicient to aid those who
are too stout, particularly those an
noyed by embonpoint, but specific mo
tions are necessary. Here is a simple
exercise which works wonders. It
must be performed with the corsets
and long skirts off. Assume a perfectly
upright position—that is, put the heels
together, the arms by the side and the
head high, and the spine curved to
throw the chest out and the hips back.
Then touck the floor in front of the
feet with the fingertips, without bend
ing the knees. Rise to the standing
position, and repeat 15 times, If there
is much fatigue, raise the arms over
the head before descending, to soothe
and stimulate the nerves of the back.
This simple exercise has been knowa
to reduce the weight 20 pounds n
three months, the greatest effect be
ing over the abdomen.
At firet there will be a difficulty In
reachiag *he floor without bending the
knees, but this can be overcome by
persistent effort, which adds interest
to what might seem monotonous and
meaningless. Drop the arms, and by
a series of up and down motions, like
pumpiog, the tense muscles of back
and thigh will relent, and the hands get
nearer to the floor. At the end of a
week the difficulty should be overcome
and supplencss gained.
When it cormes o diet for obesity, the
rules ere so much like those for dye
pepsia and gout that invalidism is sug
gested. Primarily the ban goes out
against that wicked trio of swects, fats
and starches. All are tabooed, and that
means a diet so monotonously simple
that many*a one lapses into her former
state of indulgence from weariness and
impatience.
There can be no candy, no enticing
drinks from the soda water fountain,
no sugar in coffee or tea (although
sacchurine can be used), no desserts:
nor can there be anything fried, nor
meyounaise, nor crcamy things, nor
farinacesus. Vepetables that grow be
low ground-—plebeicn vegetables, like
potatoes and beets—iust be left cut
of this spartan diet, and butter is for
bidden. What is there left? Why,
this: A cup of hot water an hour be
fore meals, none with food; fresh meats
—except pork-—and pulled bread, with
some indulgenee in vegetables and
fruit. This of course is revere, but it
fs only necess:ry for ashort time, and
surely will lower the weight, After g
sufficient number of pounds have van
ished into thin air, & more generous
diet should be gradually adopted.—

JOY KILLED HIM.
Montgomery, Ala—George Jones, a
negre, died vesterday from excessive joy
over being released from prisen. He
was convicted of murder several vears
ago, but the proof showed he bore no
ill will against the victim and the prison
er stoutly mamtained he did not know
the gun was loaded. His good record
and the attendant facts finally brought
a pardon. On being released, the happy
negro hurried to his home near Demop
ohis, Approaching the old log hut, the
unexpected comer was greeted by
mother, father and sisters, who ran to
meet him. The joy was too great, and
the big Justy man, for whom no task had

NEGRO WOMEN TEACHERS LET
OuUT.
Chattanooga,, Tenn —At the meeting
of the school board tonight the names
cf a number of colored women were
omitted from the list of teachers for the

and their own reputations
This action has created a great stir

Cooper’s court of murder, for the kill
mg of a negress. Greenberry Redditt,
a wealthy farmer of this county, shot
Maggie HObbs, a negress. The defense

and the latter, believing that his life was
in danger, fired the fatal shot. The jury,
which was composed entirely of white
citizens, returned a verdict of murder
