A CALM SEA AND PROMPT WORE OF THE RESCUERS AVERTED A CALAMITY. COASTGUARDS DID — SOME VALIANT WORK. While the Passengers and Crew Es- caped No Property of Value Was Saved. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW YORK, July 9.—With fire flashing from her hatchways, smoke belching from every porthole and rockets shooting into the air, the passenger steamer Delaware was run ashore in Barnegat Bay, off Cedar Creek, N. J., early this morning. For her crew and for the members of the Cedar Creek Lifesaving Sta.ion, who went to their assistance it was a race with death. The brave lifesavers won and the entire with 35 passengers from this a fiery tomb by the fishing were rescued from them and the crew of Sam D. Miller. The steamer !s ae total loss. She burned to 6maca but a blackened hulk, from whica smoke continue to roll over the P. The destroyed vesse] belonged to W. Ciyde & Co. of this cicy.

Word was sent to the Merritt & Chapman Wrecking Co. of this city, and ‘tthe, tug Chapman was rent to the scene. The pesseugers and crew were later tramsferred to a tug and started for this city. The passengers lost everything with the destruc‘ion of the ship. The steamer burned fiercely after she had been aban- doned. The flames shot upward a hundred feet into the air. Showers of sparks rose above the flames and fell in the sea all around. The masts burned away'‘at the bottom and covered with fleéry shrouds and rigging tumbled overboard with great crashes. The water bo'led and tossed all around the burning ship as half-barned Spars and red-hot bolts and chunks of smoking woodwork fell overboard into the eea. The red giare of the fire was reflected on the water and on the clouds overhead, and the burning ship made.a pyrotechnic d's- play such as has not been seen along this coast for a long time. Summer boanmders and other residents turned out and gathered on the shore at all points of vantage, taking in the display. At daylight the vessel had burned to the water's edge.

TIQUETTE, when applied to the bathing-beach, has been a thing of elasticity. There are unwritten laws, though, which it would behoove the weli- mannered young woman to obeerve when she dons her bathing suit. rat, don’t hold a levee of your men friends. No matter what the custom is at the resort, no matter who ise does it, take heed and eschew masculine society while in your bathing costume, The young woman who contentedly lolls about the beach for hours in her bathing sult is of necessity shorn of a great deal of modé@t>. Not that there is anything wrong with the riodern bathing sutt. It is fash- joned in the most practical lines to give perfect ease and freedom to the wearer. But the garment was not made for dress parade on the beach. Ite abbreviated comfort was designed for waters of swimming depth. If, however, the wilful young woman insists upon sunning horself upon the beach, there are ways of modifying ber offense. Never pose a la the vaudeville soubrette. So many giria have an idea that an admiring audience is fringing the beach. They therefore proceed to give what they imagine are cunning little » performances. Chasing the waves is a favorite pastime of these itmpromtu - performers. Little rushes are made at the breakers, followed by a hasty retreat, accompanied by delicate lite screams. ' These exhibitions are rather too much exercise for some of the summer girla They prefer quiet poses and are found at every turn. Here, in full view of @ crowded pier, a pretty girl is stretched full length. She ts endowed with eloquent feet, which #he kicks blithely in the air as she chats saucily with her companion. Imagine what the spectators must think of such a airi! A little further e chic Dionde, in jaunty ettire, sits hugging her knees, oblivious of the awkwardness of | her attire. To further accentuate her emancipation from all conventional bonds @he chews cum! Many well-bred girls fall Into these habits simply from seeing others do the same thing, The laxity of the seaside chaperon is proverbial, and American re- sorts now compare with the French seasides In the gay and unconventional Scenes which abound. The well-bred, dignified girl knows that repose is the hall-mark of good breeding. She t« not of necessity a prude. Far from it. She simply knows how to subdue her overflowing «spirits. She carries this repose to the seaside and with ite ald euccesefully curbs the tIntoxicating effect which a superabundance of Ozone creates. She slips from her dressing-room into the surf. She does not countenance diving from the steps or pier, no matter how much an adept she may be. She | oes not climb upon the rafts or spring-boards, or do anything which wil!) make 4 ¢ her conspicuous, She simply bes a jolly, healthy dip, and has just as good a time : as the rollicking girl who has been busy attracting the notice of the onlookers. ‘ 4 Mise Pauline Willard, a recent reorult to the stage, has given the Sunday World a series of picturesque poses.

IPS are still the prominent feature of the Amer ican woman's figure. Parid@ian fashionables dis- carded the padded hips a year ago, but our women have not followed the example. Parisian women first adopted the padded hips. They simply copied the figures of the stage beauties of the opera bouffe. The ‘accepted stage type of a Ree. perfect form has a very small waist and great ioe. breadth of hip. Marie Studholm, now the reigning os beauty of the English stage, has a waist measure- i ment of twenty Inches, while her hips curve a thirty-eight inches. A consensus of opinion from leading artists shows a decided difference in the dimensions of an artisti- cally perfect form from that of the present mode. The artist's ideal has a waist measuring ‘wenty-six inches, hips thirty-two. The artist's rule is that bust and hips must measure the same. The Venus of Milo is no longer taken as a criterion for a perfect figure. Modern art has found many flaws in the proportions of the ancient masterpiece. Reduced to life size her waist and hips would measure thirty-one and forty inches, respectively. If a woman is so unfortunate as not to have hips there are many ways by which this fault can be remedied. Physical exercise under an expert teacher is the best means. There are certain exercises which apply directly to the hip muscles. Swimming ts on: of the best, while practice on the horizontal ba brings every muscle of the hips Into play.

Good long walks every day with plain die has a way of making the flesh disappear also. a ee THE PRETTIEST FOOT IN'NEW YORK. “7 () ‘orines into. life incident to the summer season brings into evidence woman's feet. They are 4 prominent on hotel verandas, where the short gcwns are now affected for morning wear. On the beach, bicycle paths and golf links are seen an end- less array of feet. There is no standard—that is, one reduced to inches —that can be pronounced the ideal foot. Feet should cerrespond to general sige. A tiny foot on a big woman bars the owner from all claim to symmetry, The number of the shoe should be half the size of the number of glove. For instance, if the glove worn is No. 6, the shoe should be 2%. Miss De Grey, who kindly posed for the Sunday World artist, is said to have the most perfect foot in New York. A glance at the foot will show how per fectly formed and developed it is. “< J r+ _— a
