was in dark brown flannel
trimmed with yellow braid The pants had
just below the knee deep frill of yellow
linen lace, and were gathered close to the
leg. The blouse has a deep collar and cuffs
trimmed with bright yellow linen braid,
and the skirt was kept in position by
Spanish girdle Of yellow, from which were
suspended all around dozens of strips of
bright yellow linen braid, with a wooden
drop at the end, covered with yellow. The
strips or ribbons fell to the bottom of the
short skirt. and made very pretty picture.
1t Immediately occurred to beholder that
this bathing costume in our own national
colors would look very pretty indeed, especi-
ally on fete day at the beach, when 1t is
desired to make the costumes as pict-
uresque as possible. Upon such occasions
the bathing costumes in various combina-
tions had very good effect. Green and
white stripes are very desirable. The pants
should not show at ali underneath the skirt,
and green silk stocks should cover the feet
and lower limbs. meeting the pants above
the knee. The skirt should be full and per
tectly plain, with the stripe running per
pendicularly. A tiny zouave Jacket should
be worn over the bodice blouse and left I'M
fastened in front. 1t should be edged all
around with wooden balls covered in green,
and the skirt should be edged with the tiny
balls. A glrdle Of plain green material laid
in folds should encirce the waist aud serve
in holding the skirt In position.
'When Helen finished school last year."
said New York mother recently 10 New
York Times writer, II felt that we could
get on with one girl, and talked the matter
over with hen ! agreed to allow her $40 a
month, and would expect her to do the light
busting Of the house, help me one afternoon
each week with her little sisters mending,
make the desserts, and few other pre-
scribed duties. She vas pleased with the
idea, and the arrangement has existed ever
since. She has her money on the first of
every month, and have these services per
formed as | never had them before
But" spoke a second woman, "my
daughter does almost the same for love, or
at least she gets no money for it. OF course,
give her money whenever she needs it. |
don't believe, though, that | should like to
set an actual value upon her services
"Why notW responded the first speaker.
Nowadays most young women want TO
earn money: many of them usurp the places
OF Others suffering for it, who have no other
occupation than the one from which they
are thus pushed. Household service is the
one sphere which is not overcrowded; the
scarcity Of the supply goes up from every
side. Why, then, may not daughter set
value upon her skill In every modest direc-
ton, since clumsiness in the same sphere
commands high price. And labor paid
for is stimulating to ambition and gives
pride in the work, while money earned is
sure to be sensibly spent
I'VE all know that great part of the
home making is the housekeeping Our
homo has received many added touches Of
dRintiness and comfort since Helen's youth
full energy aud ambition has entered into it.
l think many young women who rush into
foolish schemes for independence and earn
ing money might more protitably and effect
lively give their efforts in the home direc-
ton. They don't because the other avenues
are on a cash basis. Homeless girls or those
with comfortless homes or girls with excep-
tional talents or opportunities for special
outside work are justified in undertaking,
but besides all these there are hundreds of
daughters who would welcome and be hene>
fitted by just such financial arrangement
as exists in our household"
~ do not see how women accomplish so
much with such wretched tools,n remarked
a masculine critic tie other day to the New
York Tribune. Particularly their needles,
they will attack every kind Of work with
the smallest of needles and with the most
indomitable courage. | really admire their
pluck but often wonder while watching
my sisters at work why they do not have
implements adapted to what they are doing.

should contain sailmaker's needle with its

Some novel features Of the cotill on were
introduced at Lady Brooke's great ball, says
the New York Sun. Tissue paper bags of
bright colors were drawn over the gentle
mems heads down to their knees, and thus
equipped the ladies chose partners. Japan
ese umbrellas, in another figure, were held
over the LADIES' heads. Scarfs worn like
sword belt over one shoulder, and studded
with bells, were matched in tint to sashes
tied about the ladies' waists. In the Folly
figure baubes were carried, daintily
dressed in silk and bells, and numbered to
govern selection. The sword and powder
puff figure produced much merriment.
The foils, with their ornamental
handles entwined with ribbons and
bells, had each power puff at the tip. Two
gentlemen fought for the prize Of lady
fair, the puffs being well covered with
powder. He who succeeded in planting the
powder first in his opponents face won the
prize. There we're also hoops covered with

drew them entirely through the hoop.
