HER POISE IS DIRECTOIRE
To Be Modish the American Girl Must
Change Her Ways.-
SOME STUXTS SHE MUST TACKLE
Moat Give Up Her Independence of
Manner, Learn to Walk Again
ad Perhaps Take the Bell
I inn- Exercise.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1 The woman who
la bavins her new frocks built on . the
models of long- line and hlpleas effects
will have to so Into training- to acquire
the proportions, poise and manner that gx
with the new fashions.
The new clothes are going to be hard for
the average woman to wear becomingly.
They certainly suggest carriage and bou
doir effects and are very different from
the trim street costumes generally adopted
In this country.
There are some styles of dress that are
essentially luxurious and foreign In char
acter, while others are shaped In their de
signs by the Ideas of utility, neatness and
hygiene, and the average American woman
has adopted the latter Idea almost to a
fault. One can always pick her out In a
crowd In London or In Farts not only by
her straight back but also by her skirt,
trimly hung and escaping the ground, un
frilled, her washable waists and her hats
built on uneztravagant lines, suitable for
all occasions, rather than for particular
ones.
The girl who la endowed with any extra
flesh or with the energetic, quick manner
and frank, direct gase typical of the fem
inine American will have to put on a new
personality if she wishes to wear the
frilled neck ruche and the long lined gowns
and coats that appear In the fashion illus
trations this autumn.
Imply Can't Walk Fast.
In the first place, the new petticoats do
not admit of rapid locomotion and It is
Bsceeeary to wear them for a while before
the person used to the delightful freedom
.of the flare skirt can even walk with grace
In them. In the new plays put on the
stage this fall It will be noticed that the
gorgeous gowns prove a serious handicap
to the wearers as they enter, walk abou'
and, above all, sit down or rise from
chairs.
Nor can the wearer Iran back with any

FACTS
OF VITAL IKTOtEST TO EVERT WOMAI
All Nemo Corsets have ex
elusive hygienic features of
great value.
Nemo Corsets have exploded
the idea that wearing corsets
necessarily injures the health.
Your corset may give you
the extreme "Directoire" . ef
fect, and still be healthful
and comfortable if you wear
a Nemo.
Nemo Self-Reducing -Corsets
safely accomplish for stout women far
better results than could possibly be -attained
by fasting, violent exercise
or drugs.
Nemo Back-Retting Corset
rest your back;" support and protect
that very vital spot the "small of
the back" thereby restoring normal
conditions in one of the most impor
tant nerve-centres of the body a
really marvelous effect. And
they give you the slender and grace
ful ' new figure" at its best.
Every Nemo Corset does something for
you that no other corset can do.
degree of apparent comfort except on
chairs and couches that have many cush
ions. The clinging sheath skirts are more
adapted for the half reclining position that
Madame Recamter made famous In her
noted portrait. The woman who Is painted
In such a gown will alwaya do well to
have a greyhound curled at her feet rather
than a French bull. v
' Before a woman can wear them at all
to advantage she must practice walking
In skirts that not only axe extremely nar
row, but rest upon the floor, unstlffened
for several inches in front and at the sides.
While the back trails on the ground con
siderably. It la no small feat to walk In
such a skirt.
Rolling Helps Some.
If the would-be IMrectolae girl has . a
waist and hips of extra girth she must get
rid of them, for the corset alone does not
solve the problem of the new gowns. The
very beat manner In which to get rid of
hips, waist and heavy torso generally is
declared by. some to be rolling over and
over In the manner of a child rolling down
a hill. Indeed, if rolling downhill were
possible for grownups It would, readily
cure this form of obesity.
The rolling process, which must be dons
on the floor, looks difficult and unpleasant
and requires some determination on the
part of the roller. After the first experi
ment, no matter how slight, it will be
found that the joints ache and there is
some stiffness.' Therefore It la best to do
the rolling Immediately on rising and be
fore a bath on retiring.
Boon' the first disagreeable symptoms
pass off, the flesh begins to soften up and
after a month of the rolling exercises,
even once a day, the girth of the hips and
torso will have decreased noticeably, while
a decided llmberness will exist that Is the
true requisite for the short walsted gown.
A "large sheet Is spread, upon the floor
and the head may be bound In a towel to
protect the hair. A dark kimono bath
robe, or better yet pajamas, are tbe gar
ments for rolling.
The roller lies at full length upon the
sheet and rolls evenly and firmly, but not
rough! over and over again, turning com
pletely, the hands over the head or in
whatever position position la most com
fortables Half a dosen turns are sufficient
for the first time. After that the number
may be increased.
The very stout woman will find the ex--rclse
more strenous than the one who Is
ierely endeavoring to get off a few
'nches, but she should benr In mind that
even the ordinary light gymnastics of the
physical culturlsts wMJ result In stiffness
and sorenesi often for a wek or more
until the flesh and the muscles harden
themselves to the processes.
Then the d'rectolre girl learns to get Into
the hew corsets, to accustom herself to
the? idea of tlffhts ra'h-r than petticoats,
to ws'k In a gown tint is ready to trip
her at every step, to sit down and to rise
easOv, to fret Into cars and cabs, climb
stairs, kneol In church.
Getting; the Poise,
But all this is auvoly easy In
comparison with the portrait pose and
inuuuer, which wiil come hard for the
eneigetlc - American woman to master.
Yet if she doea not nwdurate, her buoyant
iiidependom-e of tone and speech .and ges
ture. Iict way of doing things for herself,
she will be incongruous In the new vliinsy
skirled gown.
One actress has taken a regular training
in wearing the new gowns end a remark
able linproveiuunl la noted In her case, for
Ytliile she always wore- modern gowns
gorgeously she never quite looked any
thing but: a remarkably effective sl.ow
girl. Now her head bends prettily and
her body undulates as she walks, ili.iugu
her specially lu pest days was to bold her
self like a ramtod. When she sits down
she alts on her spine, "out quite necessary
for the lines of the tunlo draped skirt.
6he has many cushions about and leans
on them, she carries flowers and wears
them in place of the diamond toads and
Usarda she once sported. Tola is all part
of the directoire pose.
The stops must be measured, and a
stride is entirely out of the question. A
glide is better. Her arms hang loosely, or
at least curve themselves, obliterating the
elbows. Lace ruffles droop over the hands,
which are never held tensely. s
The voice must be sweet and low, and
all slang or accented expressions are
taboo. Conversation no longer must tend
to athletics ov politics, but to the accent
edly feminine. Flowers, music, the play,
dress, the shops, pets, gossip of the mild
est sort,- and above all hero worship, are
the themes.
In fact the directoire girl must ape the
manners of the three volume heroine and
put aside her good fellowship with her
heavy boots and her socks which ahe may
have got direct from Paris this spring,
but wore only long enough to prove them
unsuitable and ungraceful.
SHORT LIVES OF BATTLESHIPS
(Prospective Material for the Jnnk
v Pile of I nrle Sam's
Navy.
It is barely twenty years since the cele
brated While Squadron wasthe admiration
of the country. That squadron of four ships
comprised the first vessels or the new navy,
and the country was Immensely proud ot
them. While not one of the four has been
lost or met with any serious mishap In Us
career, all of them have passed out of the
active fleet, except the little dispatch boat
Dolphin, which still serves the useful pur
pose of an official yacht. The former flag
ship Chicago, although still a good ship,
has been relegated to trailing service; the
cruiser Atlanta Is now useu as living quar
ters for the crews of torpedo boata In re
serve at the Norfolk navy yard; the cruiser
Boston has been lying In ordinary at the
liremurton navy yard, for the last two
years, and It has recently been decided thai
It would not pay to reconstruct and rehab
ilitate the ship.
It Is not merely the White Squadron that
has become antiquated, however. Quite a
number of later ahlps have passed out of
the active service or are rapidly becoming
candidates for the scrap heap. The famous
battleship Texas, which did auch good serv
ice at Santiago, and thus redeemed herself
from her previous reputation as the 'hoo
doo of the navy, owlag to her many mis
haps, has been relegated to peaceful receiving-ship
duty at the Charleston navy yard.
The San Francisco, which distinguished
herself as a flagship of the American
squadron during the Brazilian naval revo
lution of fifteen years ago, has been quietly
rotting away in the Norfolk navy yard for
the last ten yeara. The Cincinnati has long
been the receiving ahip at Bremerton, and
Dewey'a famous flagship, Olyinpia. is now
a training ship at the naval tacademy. The
Detroit, Marblehead and Montgomery, all
of which are hardly 12 years olo, are either
permanently laid up or are doing subsi
diary duty.
It will thus be seen that the time la now
at hand when we will have to revive our
own acap heap, which has been neglected
since the old wooden navy passed Into his
tory. All of this goes to S'low that war
ships, considering their enormous cost, are
remarkably shortrlvtHi rebels. This Is not
due to any deficiency in the ahl-js them
selves, or In their structural strength, but
entirely to the keen competition among the
naval powers, which evolves new types of
ships so rapidly that the best vesnels be
come obsolete within a comparatively few
years. . Battleships are not now expected
to serve moie than ten years In the first
line and five In the second, after which
they are of no further value for war pur
poses. Thus the three . battleships of our
fleet the Oregon, Indiana and Massa
chusetts, all of which saw active service In
the war with Spain, and were then new
are now, although not more than eleven or
twelve years old, absolutely obsolete. Bat
tleships certainly are costly luxuries. New

ADVANCING SCIENCE OF FORESTRY
Forest Lands I'nder HasifrmBt ef
States and Nation and School for
Training; of Tree Ex
perts. "In the last ten years," says the Tear
book of the Department of Agriculture for
I9fi, "forestry has advanced In this coun
try from an almost unknown science to a
useful, growing profession. In that time
the number of technically trained foresters
has increased from less than-a dosen to
over 400. Ten years ago there was not a
single forest school 'In the country. Now
there are several professional forest schools
which rank with those of Europe and a
score more, with courses In elementary
forestry, whose usefulness is steadily grow
ing. Forest lands under management have
grown from one or two tracts to many,
aggregating 7,503 000 acres, scattered thiou h
thirty-nine states. The national forests
have Increased from 89,000,000 acres, prac
tically unusued and unprotected, to 165.
000,000 acres, used, guarded and Improved
both In productiveness and accessibility.
The number of states which have state
forests has increased from one to ten, and
of those which employ trained foresters
from none to eleven. The membership of
forest associations baa Increased from 3,000
to 15,800. Ten years ago, except for a few
of the foremost botanists. Kuropean forest
ers knew more about American forests
than did the people of the country. In
Europe they were then using preservatives
to prolong the service of beech ties, and
so adding from twenty to forty years to
their life. Here, on the other band, scarcely
a treated tie had been laid, though there
are now sixty treating plants, twenty-seven
of which treat ties exclusively, and an en
gineer who recently returned from Europe
reports that both In size and mechanical
perfection the treating equipment of this
country Is ahead of any to be found
abroad.
And yet American forestry has only
safely passed the experimental stage and
got ready to do something. Action, Im
mediate and vigorous, must be taken If the
Inevitable famine of wood supplies Is to be
lessened. We ara now using as much wood
In a single year as grows In three, with
only twenty years' supply of virgin growth
In sight. Only the application of forest
knowledge with wisdom, method and
energy, In the next ten years, can prevent
the starving of national Industries for lack
ot wood."
Timber a Profitable Crop.
"The growing of timber as a farm crop
has gained a permanent place In American
agriculture. Each time a thrifty farmer
sees a neighbor cutting a supply of fence
posts and obtaining, out of the same stock,
enough firewood to pay for the work, or
selling on tbe stump a quantity of saw
timber, the product of a far-sighted In
vestment of fifteen, twenty or twenty-five
years ago, he realises more keenly the Im
portance of the wood crop. A farm with

Where the rainfall is heavy the wood-

lot can be maintained on land not the bear
for other purposes, while In a region where
good land must be selected it is the opin
ion of experienced men that the trees pay
for the ground they occupy in protection
to the farmstead, the orchard or adjoining
fields. With the shelter of a windbreak
less feed is required to winter stock, danger
to an orchard from late frosts is reduced,
and the comfort ot the home, as well as Its
beauty, Is greatly Increased. Indeed, some
owners have estimated the value of good
groves at (l.OuO an acre, on the ground that
tbe value of their properly is increased to

has been given attention the returns have
yielded a net profit ot U. $& and $10 per
acre. In every Btate a share or tne rarm
can be devoted to growing timber with a
profit In some cases nearly or quite equal
to that obtained from agricultural crops.
In addition protection, the convenience of
having farm repair materials at hand and
Inorease of farm values are secured.
"That forest planting is Increasing Is
evident from the Increased demand for
planting material. One nurseryman last
spring shipped 400,000 jack pine seedlings
to Nebraska alone. One order for 10,000
was for planting in the vicinity of the
Brunner plantation in Holt county, an ex
ample of successful forest planting which
has been of high educational value. The
government nursery at Halsey has also
been most helpful In determining the adapt
ability of conifers for planting on sandy
soils in Nebraska and adjacent states.

In the different courses of forestry In the
University of Nebraska shows a healthy
growth. In addition to the regular courses
a special course Is given for public school
teachers and during the year a course for
advanced students and courses of lectures
on sllvlcs and state forest policy have been
inaugurated. The permanent equipment of
the department of forestry has been en
larged and now includes among other ad
ditions a forest herbarium, a large collec
tion of wood specimens and a portable
sawmill for practical demonstrations upon
tbe timber grown by provident farmers of
that vicinity.
"In Iowa the professor of forestry at the
Stats college carries on experiments and
state work. Among the problems now un
der consideration are the improvement ot
planted groves and natural woodlota, the
determination of what are the most valu

tho best methods of planting and handling
the woodlot and the. development of sim

The foundation of the great wealth of
J. P. Morgan waa laid by the great fire
which swept New Tork City In 1835. At
that time Mr. Morgan's father was a
youth of 15 years and a dry goods clerk
in Hartford and. his grandfather was a
modest innkeeper. He was the propri

When the flames swept New York In
1835 one of the fire Insurance companies
of Hartford was known to be a heavy
loser. It had not then become so great
a financial Institution that It could face
such a loss without misgiving.-. Many
stockholders became alarmed and offered
shares at a great sacrifice.
As usual, such topics were discussed In
the hotel corridors, and Mr. Morgan was
offered much stock nearly as a gift.
John Warburton, who was then one o'f
the wealthiest me In the country, advlaed
him to take all he could get at theae
prices and advanced money to him. The
innkeeper began buying and soon had
bought a majority ,of the stock at prices
ranging from 2H to 10 cents on the dol
