The swim ming season practically

the fashionable uptown natateriums
are crowded during the morning and
early afternoon with swimmers and
learners. Most young ladies know how
to swim as well as to play the piano,
and those who do not are ashamed to
acknowledge the fact, and endeavor to
learn as speedily as possible. Tne del

she might span with her hands, hss

fashion to be sunburnt, TO row, to swim,
to ride, to play tennis and archery and
to develop all the muscle one possibly
can.

will make a systematic movement fon
the next congress for another Increase

their behalf Osburg, president of the
Manned Soldiers league, is sending
out circulars calling fer contributions
to influence legislation in their interest
The circular says: "You should nov
see the importance Of keeping What We
have gained by sustaining In future q
w-tchful organization having the ability
and power to go to Washington and
save pensions from being reduced TO
what they were before, if not lower
1t was stated by senators when our bill
was consideeed in the senate, that =

WINS OF THE BELLIES.
4 Newell Deviee-JacqueminO and
Daisies. The Hand OF Girl Clerks.
Nv Nark I-ttar IL the Enstn, Herall


Fashion shows a novel device for the
ornamentation Of dress shirt. 1t is
to work the wearer's initials in mono
gram on the plain front breadth. As a
rule the design is SO embeihshed and
obscure that the letters are not readily
traced and the figure passes for some
thing merely ornamental. Yet some
times the initials are SO plain as to be
readable at a glance, and s. woman
looks as though conspicuously mar ked
for purposes of ownership or identltica-
ton. OF course this is bsd taste, and
may be due either TO mistaken view
of what is becoming or to . braZen
desire to force attention. There Is no
judging, h.-sAa New York, of the char
acter of women by appearances. Some
OF the best of them offend the rules Of
propriety in dress unawares and some
of the wolst are cleverest at obey ing
them.
A freak of our fashionable women is
to wear little or no je~elry. A bangle
or two at the wris! Is about all the gold
ordinarily visible on belle just now,
and if she knows anything in the way
of precious stones, it is a diamond or
pearl in each ear. But thia discarding
gewgaws does not imply general alb
sence of adornment or a prevailing
quietude of style, for nothing has ever
oeen brighter or gayer IL street attire
than the Jersey bodices now worn
Their hues are supplemented by the
punches of natural fJwers, oftenest
yellow, that are displayed upon them.
Usually as soon as fashion has extend
ed 10 poorer women, the rich promptly
discards it ;but here is an excep' ion,
for wealth can make itself f0rally
manifest in Jacqueminot roses at one
dollar apiece, while comparative pow
erty does the best it can with daisies at
ten cents handful, and an equality of
prettlness does not involve the dreaded
commonplace.
A curious thing in the way ofhumor-
ing our whimsical bellies, by the by,
was told me by glove merchant. His
clerks are girls; they average well in
good looks, but have rema1 kably big
hands. II won't employ thenl," said
he ''if they can wear less than No. 8
gloves. l mean that their hands shall
always be larger than those of the GUS
TONERS, who ara fiattered by the con-
trast and thereby pat into good hum
or for making purchases.
