IDEAS FOR STOUT WOMEN.
Lose Flesh by Dieting and W‘earlng Cer-
tain Garments. .
.' Some one has said of matrimony that
“it is a sort of cage which all who are
out desire to get in and all who are
in desire to get out.” This sentence may
be applied to stoutuess, for all thin
people want to be stout, at least mod-
erately stout, while all stout people ar-
dently wish to be thin.
It must he confessed, however, that
the thin people are by no means as
eager for a change as their fat friends,
who loudly groan and complain under
their burden. Undue embonpoint ages
a woman. sAt 28,,if she weighs 14 or 16
stone, she looks to be over 40. Her
step is heavy, she can no longerdance
or walk or exercise with pleasure. Her
clothes wear out more quickly and she
is more difficult to dress to advantage.
All this she feels and murmurs at de-
spite the smoothness of her unwrinkled
countenance and despite. the fact that it
is far easier for the stout to get thin
than for,the naturally thin to get stout.
All sweets and farinaceous foods must
be avoided by the stout woman if she
wishes to grow thin and the daintiest
and lightest dishes indulged in.
I know it is a; very trying ordeal to
be present at a good dinner and allow
the most tempting and appetizing
plates to pass untasted, but think of
it—it is still worse to grow positively
fat, 'isn’t it? a,
A stout woman must dine on. a mut-
ton outlet and slice of dried toast, a. lit-
tle soup and drink claret and water, for
whatever her searchings of heart, what-
ever her leanings, she 'must force her-
self to recognize that plain food taken
sparingly and exercise will reduce
weight. Self-restraint must be her
motto and if she casts it aside she does
it at her peril.
The ambition of the stout woman
must be to have her size attract as lit—
.tle attention as possible, and if she
wears dull stuffs the eye, so to say,
glances off and is not fixed by any un—
usual brilliancy. Stripes are advan-
tages for the skirt, but not so much so
for the bodice. Broadly speaking, how-
ever, all pekine materials worn in their
length are becoming.
The bodice should be cut all in very
sloping V’s, with downward points. If
she consults her interests she will be
careful to have. the underarm seam long,
and to do this will, if necessary, have to
bring it more to the front of the arm-
hole than is usual. The basque must
be cut away on "the hips and the sleeves
droop slightly, as is the mode. For
street wear short mantles will be found
best; jackets are rarely suitable, but if
adopted should be of the reefer shape.-
In dressing her hair a woman must
always avoid ugly “corners” at her tem-
ples, by so arranging the fringe as to
cover these bare spots prettily.‘ If she
has wide cheeks she must by no means
adopt a narrow coifiure, as this will
give her face the? shape of a pear, small-
est at the forehead and broadening out
like that of Louis Phillipe.
. Mrs. Russell Hovey, one of the great-
est authorities on matters of dress, once
said: “Fat is only an injury to beauty

when it spoils the shape. It keeps the
skin smooth and unwrinkled and so is
often a benefit to women when it comes
to advancing years. What we have to
do is to make size expressive. We must
have long lines to enhance the height
and heavy fabrics to obscure by their
folds unsightly protuberances. The fat
woman who in a tailor-made gown
shows off every inch of her bulk is a de-
plorable spectacle. She might, with
proper di‘essing, look big and grand,
soft and lovely, so as to make little
women and men look mean and com-
monplace beside her. The great secret
for “anyone who is over—stout, therefore,
is not to show her outlines.
“For those who regard the corset an
absolute necessity let me whisper in
their ears this little piece of advice:
Never fasten it by a. single lace, but by
three, after the French fashion. Of
these the first should come from the
shoulder to within an inch or two of the
waist. The second should begin about
an inch or so below the waist and con-
tinue to the end of the corset. Both
these should be firmly fastened off and
should not vary in size at any time,
being left very open, so as to allow the
figure and especially the chest full
liberty to expand. The third, the only
one to be tightened or loosened at will,
comes in the middle from a little above
to a little below the waist, and left quite
loose in the morning my be gradually
drawn in if it be necessary to put‘on a
close-fitting gown.”—-Philadelphia Tel-
egraph.
WORLD’S EXPENSIVE BRIDGES.
The Structure Uniting New York and
Brooklyn Heads the List.
The very latest official computation
puts the total cost of the Brooklyn
bridge at $17,489,855. The bridge when
contracted for was to cost 810,800,000.
At least, such was the original estimate
of John A. Roabling, who in 1867 put
the cost of the bridge at $7,000,000 and
of the approaches to it $3,800,000. Ac-
tually, the bridge cost $15,000,000,
which was not much of an increase
over the original figures when the dif-
ficulties of the undertaking came into
account, the bridge not being opened
until sixteen years after the original
estimate was made.
penditures, which .have brought the
total cost up to thepresent figure, 'are
due to the acquisition of _ new ap-
proaches and to improvements upon the
structure which were not and could
not have been calculated upon when it
was opened twelve years ago.
The Brooklyn bridge is the most ex-
pensive work of the kind in the world,
exceeding in cost any other bridge of
which authentic figures are available.
The bridge over the Forth, in Scot-
land, cost $14,000,000, the Victoria
bridge in Canada cost $12,000,000, the
bridge across the Volga at Caratov, in
Russia, cost $4,000,000. The cost of
London bridge was 810,000,000, of Water-
loo bridge 85,500,000, and of the West-
minster bridge $2,500,000.
‘With the enormous increase of via-
duct work for railroad purposes in the
United States the profession of “bridge
builder” has become a. very important
one, steel and iron work having largely
superseded masonry, since by improved
processes in their manufacture struc-
tural iron and steel have materially de-
creased in cost.

BLOOMERS AND BICYCEES.
IN a ballet called “Venus," per
formed at La Scala, in Milan, the prin-
cipal scene brings in a corps of women
bicyclists arrayed in costumes‘Which

BIOYQLES are said to have seriously
affected the sale of pian-r-s in England.
The reason is that when a girl isasked
to choose between the two for a, pres-

Mich., l-..ve outgrown the bloomer
stage, a : .zording toga Detroit newspa-
per, and now ride in the streets'and
suburbs wearing complete masculine
wheel costumes—knickerbockers, golf .
stockings and short jackets.
NEARLY $400,000 is the amount ob-
tained from the bicycle tax this year
by the French government, the number
of machines declared being just under
200,000. They are well spread over the
whole country, since Paris and the De-
partment of the Seine return 38,000,1ess
than a fifth of the total.
\ A FASHIONABLE tailor of New York,
who makes garments for those who can
afford to pay his prices, predicts that
the donning of knickerbockers by
wheelmen will lead to the revival of
the old custom of wearing knee
breeches; but it is not every dude who
