Knit one row across plain. Commence
the next row by knitting one stitch

two ends of the rag on the right
side. Knit every alternate stitch in
the same manner to the end of the

Paris is following in the waE5 Of
London az regards swimming baths.
These are being gradually established "
various quarters of the capital, and are
apparently greatly appreciated, as the
said baths are very well %patronized.
One Of the latest additions is the bath

lighted electrically, principally by
means of arc lamps of the recent Street
and Maquaire system, This system
had to be fitted up in a great hurry, and
before the lamps had been fairly tested
and adjusted. Two electricians were
told off to attend, during the first few
weeks, to the regulation Of the lamps.
A difficulty soon presented itself two
evenings in the week are reserved for
ladies', and the representatives Of the
fair sex objected to the presence of the
two horrld male electricians. AS none
of the three known lady electricians,
VIZ, Madame du Moncel, the Queen of
the Belgians, and Mrs. Swan, were
available to take charge Of the appar-
atus, the inventors were, for a time,
puzzled as to how to keep their lamps in
order without giving offence to the Ia
dies. They soon, however, hit upon a
happy idea. Let the electricians be
dressed as swimming masters" and
this was done. OF course they handled,
occasionally, The lamps, but as they
seemed ready to dive and effect rescu-
ing work at a moments notice, the
ladies offered no further objections,
and, indeed, seemed rather pleased with
a management which provided such
clever swimming masters. who, in adj
dition to their "divers'' duties, were
also capable of trimming and adjusting
the latest forms Of improved arc lamps.
Matters now go on swimmingly.
