tune are its democracy or sentiment and
its allowance of freedom. No pent-up
Utica contracts the powers of the bather
who wears it. OF course there are some
''store" bathing costumes worn by gentle
men, but as rule they do not enhance the
attractivenesS of the wearer. AS an ex-
ample, Miss AspinstalPs cousin, Mr.. Cool
idge Aspinstall, may be referred to. He is
in his second year at Harvard and he
stands ON the sidewalk on Ire
mont street at the museum
entrance, he is by no means in bad form.
But when he appears on the beach at Nam
tasket next day in trunks Il,
and polo shirt his costume T&
is rather the best-looking
part OF him. ~
At the most popular free ,g<f
public bath of the city ''for fN
men and boys only" at South
Boston, the universal style of ! %
dress is very airy and grace-k{Las-
full. 1t consists simply of a
leather strap worn around
the left wrist ION the left r.
one probably to suggest that Il
something had been left II
ashore), and ornamented III
with key to the locker in
which the bather has depOs- II
tied his clothing. This style II
OF dress allows great freedom ~
of motion, besides inSpiringSN
the wearer with sense of security. 1t is
to be presumed that costume somewhat
similar is worn in the free baths set aDart
for women and girls but under the present
conventiOnalities of society this subject
must, of course, be left to conjecture in the
masculine mind.
The costumes worn at certain other bath
ing places-at City Point, for ihstance-do
not vary materially from those seen upon
the streets, excepting only that there is a
considerable sprinkling of yachting shirts
and hats. The season begins early at these
resorts and lasts longer than elsewhere.
These bathing-houseS are very elaboratelv
fitted with mahogany, cherry and black
walnut woodwork, ornamented with pol
ished brass and embellished with plate and
other glass. A courteous attendant is ALWAYS
on hand during bathing hours, his duty be-
Ing to look after the comfort Of the patrons
OF the establishment Very little water is
used, the liquid element being of more
expensive kind. The bathing being prnci-
pally internal, the matter of costume is not
an essential consideration.
There is a certain attractiveness about
these establishments that impells the visitor
to battle there second time and to 60 again
frequently.
Around the wharves and under the rail-
road bridges, bathing places frequented by
the gamins of the city, the costume in vogue
is rather of historical character, its pat
tern being older than that of Miss Aspin-
stalls ''calico gownd." 1t is the same as
was worn by our brothers Cain and Abel
when they went in swimming after eating
green apples.
This pattern is also affected by the we'll
TODD middle-aged gentlemen who can de-
rive more comfort in the bathroom at home
than Oh hot sands under broling sun.

body following these in
structions. The bathing
dress of the fashion-plate
fulfills its mission en-
tirely on paper, and per-
haps it is quite as well
that such should be the
case. Its principal pur-
pose is to furnish the

cation, to pass for the latest style. The
wisdom of this course is apparent, as it
prevents waste of property and does not
shock the aesthetic sensibilties. 1t would
fare as badly in the waves as the first type.

striking, it is incongruous, and one is al

that must precede and follow each visit to
the laundry.

peep into the public schools has
a tendency to corrobora tie this
idea. When Miss Aspinstall
takes a dip in the surf at Nam
tasket she wears a bathing
dress of conventional and con-
sentative Boston pattern. Its
material is of a kind alluded
to in the weekly reports of the
print-cloth markets, a material
known to the young lady's
grandmother as ''ninepenny
Calico" and like all goods Bos-
ton attributes it possesses a
| merit of age, almost equaling.

THE CENTAUR.

q very female centaur she,
In truth part she seemed to be
Of her brave steed;
A symphony of graceful curves
Nor right nor left her body sweryes
AS through the town they speed.
With form as supple as the willow,
Like mermaid on an ocean billow,
She rides along;
A picture tbs of strength and grace
From torse's hoof to lady's face,
And worthy of the poets song.
An easy lope the horses gait
As carries he his precious freight.
Happy must be his lot!
Methinks his burdens are but light
As I gaze on the pleasant sight,
But it's different when he strikes trot

You had called and compelled her to en-

you felt you owed her some special atten-
ton, did you, dear sboy? So you sent her
nice little note asking her to walk in

to be so explicit, for girls are
SO queer that she might otherwise have
dressed for drive. She made no reply?
And do | think she received your invita-
ton? Well. to speak candidly, 1 think she
did. You see she might consider tramp
around 1.-THE park as hardly fair equiva-
lent for your society. And, as I said be-

It seems as IL the increase Of profanity
were correspondent with the general
spread Of intelligence. the distribution of
wealth, the increase in the number of
graduates of the public schools. the
general expansion and activity of the peo-
pie. 1t is certainly In many individual
cases the inevitable concomitant Of the
imperious instinct for expression and
self assertion.
This instinct is becoming more and
more developed in an entire class Of our
people. who are beginning to feel the ef-
fects of civilization, of increased popula-
ton. and of social propinquity. Whereas
once they were few in numbers. under
the necessity of hard work and wholly un-
occupied with the thought Of amusement.
they are now numerous. well-to-do more
or less gay. and they accordingly feel in
its fullest measure the workings Of the
great instinct Of expansion Accordingly
they have began to curse and to swear
like Peter when he felt within an imper-
ious desire to say great deal and really
had nothing to say.
With great many, perhaps with most.
swearers. profanity simply means the
articuIate expression of thought or emo.
ton For people whose powers Of ex-
preston are slight, who have only re-
Gently come to feel the need of any. pro
family has the attraction Of seeming to be
very expressive We shall never, as 8 ns,
tion, swear any less until our society in
general insists more on adequacy and ac'
curacy Of expression and definitely makes
up its mind what is mere interiectional
exuberance and what is grossly indecent
