The New BaEEsEug Dress.

Once ON a time ladies who went to the sea-
shore had bathing suits made for the purpose
of going into the water. The bathing dress
was a kind of thing that would not spoil if it
got wet. 1t wasn't anyway near as hand
some as it was useful, and when a lady put
or6 Of those things on she was pretty certain
t. 90 Swimming down the beach like a frigh-
tened fawn and put herself out of sight in
the surf, That sort of bathing dress WAS
too horribly horrid for anything, and az or
ganized prejudice has been operating against
it for q long time. 1t became evident TO the
fair bathers that something in the way Of q
bathing dress that did not compel the Wearer
to bath would have to be devised. That
thing has been accomplished and has reached
its highest development this year.
The bathing suits of this season is made
of almost any kind Of stuff, but that which
will not wash seems to be preferred. This
does not matter, because II is not calculated
that the bathing suit Of the period shall get
wet. The blouse has shirred pieces extend
ing down each side OF the front Of the waist,
and is fitted at the waist line by several yards
of shirring. That is what the fashion writ
ers say. Around the bottom of the blouse
is g f1ounce with six oWs Of putting. A
large sailor collar ornaments the neck, and
tine very short sleeves are rnamented with
pufings. The trousers which go with this
are just elegant and sweet enough to make
you lose your head when you see them.
They are finished with hounces and pufhngs,
and such things to confuse and bother the
common mind III the most dreadful way.
Where the trousers leave off 9 brilliantly
colored stocking begins and goes on down to
the end Of the toes, bur is partly taken il BY
a perfectly lovely sandal with charming
French heels, which makes any foot look
three or four skies smaller than it really is
With this costume you can wear . lace collar
and twelve button kids of any color TO match
Jhe m~aterial, but nearly all colors appropriate
for bathing dresses will admit Of white kids,
which are more stylish.
Those who veal the bathing dress must be
very careful not to get them wet. They are
not Intended for the water. They make al
most perfect costumes for promenading on
the beach and gathering shells, and running
Off with q scream at the sight Of q live clam,
and TO recline In the sun on the sand, and do
g. whole lot OF things except go near the Wa
ter. It is extremely absurd to think of 60
ing into tbs water IN q bathing dress that is
all up to the style, and nobody dreams Of
such a thing. The really fashionable people
who go to the sea-shore do their bathing In
tubs. They sun themselves in the shirred
and pulled and f1ounced bathing dresses.

VEae Queen Does tine Work

4 good story reaches as from Belgium,
the truth Of which 10 guaranteed. "A bank
ing-house at Verviers recently received q
letter from a bank at Buda-Pesth. The re-
cipents knew that it related to q matter of
the greatest Importance, but. unfortunately,
they could not master the contents Of the
missiVe, as it was written in the Hungarian
language, and there was not a soul in Yer
viers who understood that tongue. Accord
ingly, one of the partners took a journey to
Brussels, expecting to find everything he
wanted at the capital, but only to be disap-
pointed-nobody at the banks could read
hungarian. There was, however, still the
banker betook himself, to learn that there
was an attache who spoke Hungarian, but
but he had gone to Biarritz for some sea-
bathing. Almost in despair, the hero Of the
story called upon the B~urgomaster, with
whom be was acquainted, and relatedAhis
troubles. After some thought his Wors ip,
striking his forehead, exclaimed
sAfter all, sometimes our most foolish
ideas prove the best
With this enigmatical observation he asked
for the letter. The next day he returned the
original to the gentleman from Verviers, with
q translation in French, in o neat feminine
hand.
ITO what Hungarian fairy do I owe this
good fortune T. asked the delighted banker.
This is an affair involving some millions,
and | shall be happy to pay o handsome
doucecur to the translator who has enabled
me to get at the meaning Of the. letter in time
to conclude the affair"
81 lake you at your word, = replied the bur-
gomaster. Give me 100000. for the poor
OF Brussels, for the translator is none other
than the queen. She has experienced lively
satisfaction IN employing her knowledge Of
tne hungarian language to oblige ode of her
aubjects.
MThe Queen Of the Belgians is d daughter Of
Inc Archduke Joseph, whose benefcent rule
o. Hungary Is still remembered by the peo-
pie, and she was born in the capital city dur
Ing her fathers palantine.

The San Diego Union says: "James M.
Young exhibited to us recently a very re-
markable curiosity. 1t was a perfectly formed
small lemon inside of a large lemon. He had
taken the lemon from q tree in his garden
and cut it in two to make q glass Of lemon
ade, and found quite q resistance to the knife
in cutting through. In the centre Of the pulp,
which was full Of juice, was another lemon
about the size Of . large pigeons egg, with
complete rind and inner pulp and seeds"

Making a Call i'm Mississippi.

When you call at the residence of neigh bor in Mississippi you do not go to the door and knock or ring the bell, as is usual in most places in the North. That would not be a safe or comfortable undertaking here. You proceed, usually on horseback, to the "yard fences' in front of the house and shout, Hal 1oo!" You are answered at once by chorus of dogs, which come loaping down the yard towards you like wild beasts hungry for their prev As you contemplate their enormous size, their number and evident ferocity, you congratulate youself on being on horse- back. About the time when you begin to wonder whether you will long be safe even in that position, the man of the house comes to the door and calls out; Good morning. Won't ye ight?' You mentally answer s'Not just yet, !" and your host walks down the path towards you, making remarks about the weather or some such familiar topic as he comes on. When he reaches the gate he says imperatively, "Wel, lght!'' As the dogs are by this time slowly retiring, looking dis appointed but resigned Gas If saying to them m. selves Better luck some time, we shall eat him yet"), you now alight, and you are not expected to at any earlier stage of the pro ceedings.
 The host now says, ''Come inl" and you walk slowly up the path together conversing as you go. Arrived at the porch, or gallery" as it is called here, the host says again
 COLlo Ou1 yOU SAO HUI SO HI. 1o "OuAA be ill-bred to enter at once. So you finger on the gallery, still conversing for moment or two, and your friend says imperatively this time ''WeI come in" and then you go in. 'In the old times," as people say here, to have gone at once to planters door, with out calling from the outside of the yard and receiving ah invitation from within the house, would have been regarded as evidence of un- lawful or hostile intentions, especially in the evening, and would have exposed the visitor to chance of a greeting from shotgun. At present the dogs are usually, suppose, the chief source of danger.
