As much care and taste are displayed in
these sea shore sandals as Helen of Troy or
Phryne of Athens could have used in past
ages. On the French shore is there doubt
less some variety of color and form in the
dress seen in the waves. Every Partisan
dressmakers wishes to stamp even bath
ing dress with his or her individual taste;
but it is not by any means good form, or
bon ton to show too much of the figure as
caricaturists would lead people to suppose,
and indeed anything like immortality is left
to those few individuals of bad taste and
worse morals, who will always find way
TO make themselves conspicuous in public.
In every country and on every shore
there are thoughtless dudes with no idea
beyond their own selfish vanity who en-
courage girls to make idiots OF themselves,
in no country perhaps more SO than in
France If q bathing costume is wanted
more exaggerated and extravagant than
another's it will be found either on the
Trouville shore in France. or on the variety
stage in America; but rarely, II ever, on
our eastern coasts, from Atlantic city to
Narragansets Pier. In most French water
ing places part of the bathing area is roped
for men alone; only these with ladies and
families being allowed to battle together.
Ropes are used as with US; but there are
always one or more bostrnen rowing up and
down continually during bathing hours to
guard against accidents, and there is one
accommodation universal which might be
well introduced into America II bsther

The most trying moment for bather is
the entrance on the scene; the promenade
down the beach when the eyes of those in
the water and those lounging around will
detect any flaw or deformity, any incon-
gruous appearance or unfortunate tendency
which nature or want Of taste may accent
uate.
The woman who knows she is well made
can walk with the demarche of a goddess,
and is certain there is nothing in her cos
tune which calls for criticism or cavIl. may
set out from her boarded boudoir where she
has left the fig leaves of fashion, and calmly
traverse the strip Of sand separating her
dressing room from the sea, conscious that
no unnecessary decollete, no meretricious
makeup will enhance her attractions or
prevent her beauty making its mark
While the cruel sea goes round from lip TO
lip among the groups on the sands, where

wheels drawn out to the axles, higher or
lower as the customers demand, with steps
at either end TO enter or descend into the
waves. On many shores these machines
have awnings like the head of a bassinet or
the hood of a perambulator, efectually con-
cealing the fair occupant till she energies
beyond its protecting f1ounce into the open
sea: and though the lounger on the beach
is deprived the pleasure Of witnessing the
plunges of the siren and the frolics OF the
nymph, the unwieldly matron and the ossi-
fed old maid are saved the chagrin OF an
offensive notice which often verges on con-
tempt.
In some places, as at Brighton, where the
beach IS precipitouS or shelving, the ma
chimes are let down by cables from wind
lass, but usually horses are used, and when
a stranger finds himself for the first time
left in his wooden cabin in a raging sea
while his hull and drivers depart TO haul
another machine, his dismay may be better
imagined than described.
In England the bathing woman is an in
stitution, though living all the summer in
the sea, she looks more like porpoise than
mermaid; butshe is most useful in giving
confidence to beginners and even IN teach
ing ladies how to swim She Is replaced IN
France by the baigneur, who takes ladies'
in his arms into the deeper waters and IS
much patronized when a strong bearer and
good swimmer. such Oalgneur is tue
hero of French play by Meilhac, in which
Madame Juoic used 10 delight her Partisan
public.
The English bathing machine has been
adopted at many of the French watering
places, mora especially those contiguous TO
England. Calais, Boulogne and Dieppl are
all fond of bathing machines, and the
French have introduced family CABINS
divided into two or three compartments for
ladies and children. At Trouville, Etretat
and Biarritz at Ostende and Blankenberg,
all fashionable resorts either for French or
Belgians, the cabius as at Long Branch or
Narragansett are in use.
Fashion irst began to trouble her mead
about the modes for bathing when

Empress OF the French, made Biarritz the
only place for lovely women. The wanted

ish-Milesian first instituted the costume de

At that time the English women wore Tor

concealed her hair in yellow oilskln cap.
Very proper, no doubt-eXcept when some
libertine wave insisted in pulling IL over

a degree.

adegree.

But at Biarritz the Frenchwoman intro
duced the artistic boomers. Some of the
beauties Of the Imperial court followed suit
TO the Empress innovation with elaborate
fancies; and frills and ribbons soon graced
the robes that Madame de Afouchy and the
Countess de Pourtales wore when bathing,
while every woman wore sandals on her
bare feet and carried a long Louis Seize
bathing stick as she paraded the beach be-
tween France and Spain.
On the French coast the sandal is a neces-
sity in some form, on account of the preva-
lence Of an annoying fish (7rGchinus DrdcO)
known in England as the weaver. This
name comes from the French Tire, given il
by the coast fishermen in recognition of Its
power of living out of water for some time
after capture.
Ammonia is always kept by the proprie
tors of the bathing establishments in case
of accidents caused by this particularly OBJ
iectionable fish. He is not large, but the
prickles of his gill-covers and dorsal I'm

for fishermen to cut of the stings OF these
fishes when caught.

Men bathers are just as open to criticism
as the opposite sex, only as they are not SO

Bamsgate are more like Couey Island.
Bournemouth and the Isle OF Wight are
most fashionable and admirable for bathing
and Yachting. but very expensive. In
France, Trouville still is queen of watering
places. Boulogne has too many English
visitors, but the bathing sands are superb
Ostend has great attractions for the Ger
man and Belgian visitors. Dieppe has an
nuaily whole troops of French and English,
and may be well recommended as typical
French watering place.

American mamma to her daughter Wno
made such a sensation last year at Bar
Harbor by wearing white flannel suits,
which were everything that was respect
able until dipped in the water. After that
their color changed to pink, so indiscreet
was the ocean swell and so transparent its
treatment. What her mamma hoped the
Partisan dressmahers would be able to turn
out for her daughter which would prove
more attractive to the casual loungers on the
French coast it is difficult to surmise, but it
must not DE supposed that at foreign
watering places costumes used by ladies at
the court of Neptune and Amphitrite are
more becoming than those in use IN Amer
lea.
It is conceded in all polite society that at
, certain time of the year when the icy
waters of the Atlantic begin to modify their
temperature and the waves court the swim

seek for ozone and the invigorating tonic

aside much of the conventional covering

only be comical but utterly reprehensible

PRETTY WOMEN APPEAR on THE OCEAN
whose figures can not be OWNED beneath
their dark bathing suits, while many are
the wonderful outlines of Fictitious beauty
which fade int terrible reality when their
frauds are given away by the hesrtless sea,
and of course, one of the most fruitful
joking grounds for the summer journalist Is
the watering place-not merely for the
firtations on the piazza around the hotel
or boarding house, nor for the chase after
man when the week days take the fathers
and husbands away TO New York; but more
especially for the never ceasing attacks on
girl bathers and their vanities; their dim
inishing suits and their out-of-sight mod
esty. After studying marine life among
the bathers of most sea shores, cannot say
that women in America display more than
the natural amour propre every woman
ought to possess, as evinced by the desire
to look her best, and as little ridiculous as
possible in trotting across the sands from
her bath house to the water.

Last evening as Z youu: man named

and his body badly bruised in = number

intense pain, and his groans were pitt

Burnett seems to be m Inflated

badly cut, two ribs broken and his hip

There is no gilt to be compared with
health. None realize this like the SUI
fercr from some chronic or long-stand-

ncwed health is priceless. And vet it

The great specialist in the cure OF all
forms OF nervous and chronic diseases,
DR.. Greene, OF So West Fourteenth
street, New York, who has long stood
at the head OF the profession. has de-
cided to give consultation and advice
hereafter free. His medicines arc all
purely vegetable and harmless, and his
success in curing diseases is unequalled.
His wonderful discovery for the nerves,

greatest medical discovery oil the age.
Remember, sufferer, that you can write
him 4 description OF your case and he
will return carefully considered letter,
fully explaining your disease, giving
advice, etc, without charge OF any kind.
Send for his symptom blank to fill out,
