A Popular Bathing Costume.

From the New York World
For bathing the popular costume Will
be a combination dress of flannel serge.
These are cut with trousers and corsage
in one, with an overskirt to fasten on
with belt. They were introduced last
year and proved so desirable that the
older style of trousers separate and
blouse and skirt i'll one has fallen into
tlisfavor.
Dark blue is the popular color, for it
best stands contact with the salt water,
and when tastefully trimmed is becom-
ing to most bathers. Bunting lined
with silesia is also employed to some ex-
tent for bathing dresses.
Cotton stockings, of heavy texture,
are the best sort for bathers. These may
match the dress or its trimmings in color
or they may be of some contrasting hue.
Plain colors only, however, ought to be
worn. Striped OF figured hosiery is too
conspicuous. Plain dark colors are far
more becoming. Thick linen shoes are
the most comfortable kind and the ones
usually selected.

Sc Presented to any man whose head will

was taking stroll for his health, his
eyes fell upon the hat and the promise
Walking in he inquired.
!" What is the size of that hat ?"
The halter looked at the fellows 600
pound bulk, and as the cold sweat began
to ooze out on his forehead gasped:
Number nine"
"I'll take that hat" said the giant.
It was hauled down, busted, and given
to him. He placed it on his head, a
perfect fl. and walked away as proud as
a lord. The huge crowd, which quickly
gathered to see the fun, cheered Justify
as he walked off with his prize.

An Old Merchants Honor.
From the New York Journal

From the New York Journal.
When the wholesale IIquOr-hOuse OF
Beecher, Ives & Co. failed some time
ago, because of the deadlock in bonded
viii, ky, great sympathy was especially
felt for Mr.. Ives, who, past the middle
age, after long and active and honor
able business career, found himself
wrecked as his every asset was available.
And here a little story can tell its own
affecting details. Some years ago Mr..
Ives founded a little home on the Sound,
near Rye, n. Z. Humble and unpre-
tentlons at the start, it has been devel-
oped and beautifed with years and
prosperity, until it is one of the most
charming as well as hospitable homes In
the neighborhood. Those who are fOrtu-
nate in possessing the acquaintance Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ives (nee one of the
Englishes of New Haven) know how
worthily they adorned such home of
peace, plenty, and contentment. 1t
was suggested i'll the hey-day of pros
perity to Mr.. Ives that he should deed
this homestt adj to his wife.
" No, said he, cit will go to her If
she survives me, and In the event OF my
failure i'll business [ propose that my
creditors shall get all IN the liquidation
of their claims. [ am careful and con-
sentative in business and prosperous
beyond my expectations, and failure Is
not likely now"
When failure engulfed the old house
in ruin like a ship in a elstrom, the
little ivy-embowered home at Rye, With
it's tree covered lawn and hedges. was
included in Mr.. Ives assets. 1t was a
terrible blow to the old gentleman, and
he was reproached with not having fol-
lowed years ago the friendly advice to
put his property in his wife's name, and
thus save it from the creditors.
''No," said Mr.. Ives. 81 am not sorry
did not put the property in my wife,
name then and thus save it, for want
everything l have to go to my creditors.
My children can take care of themselves,
while can always provide for my wife
and myself"
Well, the other day the little home
was sold by order of the creditors-and
bought in by them and then presented
to the good wife who had borne the sac
ritice without murmur, glad to make
it in her husbands's behalf, and whose
! heroism was thus so nObly rewarded.
