Wisconsin furnishes, many places for Western
people who seek summer resorts. The lakes of
Wisconsin are very beautiful, and the hotels on
their banks are, as a rule, well kept. Minnesota
shows a little rivalry, and Northern Michigan
affords several romantic and elegant retreats. We
doubt that the seashoro of New Jersey is more
popularly patronized than the lakes of Wisconsin.
| When you do not wish to look too conspicuous
It is best to have the bathing dress of some neutral
tint or dark color, and have bright coored trim
ming. Black is particularly becoming for bathing
costumes us 1t shows up the whitcncss of the skin,
and II is convenient besides, because It can be
trimmed with any color 1t is upon the trimming
OF bathing dresses in fact, that we must depend
for variety In appearance. The actual make of n
dozen dresses can only vary very slightly; butthe
color and designs OF the trimmings may be infinite.
London Queen.
In regard to bathing costumes the london
Queen says: Plain white canvas shoes laced with
color to match the dress, are perhaps the best to
recommend; but straw or cork soles, with an upper
piece of the same material rs the dress laced with
broad strips of braid to match the trimming. are
also good. The upper part should be cut from the
pattern OF a gentleman's slipper, fitted, sewn on
the sole. and pierced with three holes along each
side. The braid is fastened each side of the holes
nearest the toe, laced across into the 9th ers and
continued sandal-wise up to the knee"
