A Misfit fiathing Suit.

There is at least one bathing suit here
which will mover touch the breakers. at
least at this resort. The owner, a lively
young woman from the west, who is
here for the first time, evolved the affair
in her inland home upon knowledge &C.
quired at Atlantic City last summer
Some wicked person told her that Cape
May bathers wore exceedingly gay robes,
and that unless she wished TO be n no
body a striking costume was essential
She had robe made Of cardinal serge,
trimmed with orange and gold ribbon,
the very short skirt scalloped at the
edges and tiny width of lace around
it. The waist was sleeveless and cut
very low, modesty being considered by
a section of puffGd China silk inserted in
the yoke. An orange kerchief was TO
cover the brown hair, n ribbon Of the
same hue to encircle her waist, while
old gold and steel gray hosiery com.
pleted the outfit.
How the young woman capered in
joyous anticipation when she tried on
her suit in her western home. When
she arrived here with her parents and
saw the severely conservative styles Of
our bathing suits, TO say she experienced
a shock is to put it mildly. Making a
virtue of necessity she is hiring mod
est blue flannel while endeavoring to
persuade her parents TO go TO Atlantic
City where that gorgeous costume may
be worn without hesitation.
One or two young women appear each
year in white flannel bathing suits
which look too sweet for anything on
the beach, but when they get wet--a
transparent falsehood isn't in it com
pared with the transparency of these de-
ceitful arments-Cape May Letter,

He Loves Merry nnsland Too much.

He Loves Merry England Too Much,
Joseph Fernas, n gentleman Of Bel
gian extraction, is standing protest
against those unpatriotic Engiishmen
who continually decry British art and
the British climate and spend their
money in inspecting statues and pictures
III distant countries instead of searching
for the beauties of their own. He comes
from the land Of Quentin Matsys and
Peter Paul Rubens, but think yon that
his artistic soul is satisfied with the pro
auctions Of these foreigners? Not bit
of it.
His ideal of really high art is to be
found among the statues of London.
For half day he would stand before
Charles Fox, sitting in Russell square,
clothed in as much of II Roman toga as
can be seen through n sturdy accumu-
lation of remnants of fogs. "Ahr he
used to cry; that's something like art. "

patiently trudged to Charing Cross to
gaze upon the magnificent statue OF

the splashings Of omnibuses and han
SONS, Why should man with such
high tastes and appreciation of British
art find himself in the North London
police court?
The fact is Fernas il in receipt of "a
pension of forty pounds II year, which is
payable in his native city of Client. The
moment he receives his annual allow
ance he comes over to London TO spend
it in gazing upon the statues aforesaid
and visiting our museums. When at
the end Of the year il is all gone the con-
sui has to pay his passage back to Client,
where he draws fresh sum and repeats
the experiment. A policeman found him
wandering ON Stamford hill without
any means Of subsistence and unable 10

as he had one or two coppers left, this

tainable. Tho magistrate discharged
him, and in a day or two when real i'm

THE CABRILLo CELEBRATION.

An Outline of the San Diego Festivi-
ties.
The 350th anniversary of the discovery
of the coast of California, which will be
celebrated at San Diego on the 2Sth and
Goth of the present month, is now an as
sured success, and as the possibilities of
the occasion are unfolded it surpasses
the expectations of its projectors.
What at first was intended as some
what local affair has developed, and as
sumed an almost national importance.
The presence of the British flag ship,
and the Mexican Democratic, and the
white squadron, comprising the San
Francisco, Baltimore, Charleston and
Yorktown, will add much to the
occasion. Gov. Markham, Gov. Torres,
of Lower California, Governor Murphy,
of Arizona, Senator FELTON,, Generals
McCook and Ruger, OF the army, and
Admirals Brown and Gherardi, of the
navy, and many other distinguished
men will participate. The local railway
lines will make extremely low rates dur
ing the celebration and an opportunity
is offered to ali for thorough explora-
tion Of the interior, including the great
vineyards OF Ell Cal On valley and various
points of interest, such as the Sweet
water dam, the Mexican boundary line
and the old Mission.
San Diegans are much pleased at the
action of the Santa Fe in making low
rates from points in New Mexico and
Arizona. as we'll as in California, and
the Southern Pacific from points north.
The Mexican military band, whose de-
liQhtful music is 30 pleasantly remem-
bered, will return from Ensenada soon
and take part in the celebration.
The arrangements for the grand ball
at the Coronado are being consummated
and it promises to be the most note
worthy gathering which has ever taken
place at that famous hostelry. The ho-
tel men of San Diego have unanimously
agreed not to make any extra charges
during the celebration, but on the con-
trary will exert themselves to offer spec
ial accommodations to their guests.
The Indians who will take part in the
reception to Cabrillo, and in the fiesta
of ancient games and dances are begin
ming to arrive and will be quartered in
the square on A street. The interest
awakened in historical circles by the
celebration is surprising, and news
comes from all over the state of histor.
ical societies and organizations who will
be present in body. The commanders
of the various warships which will be in
the harbor next week are arranging for
grand display Of their search. lights
during the evening of the 2Sth.
The celebration will be OF great and
permanent benefit to San Diego and
vicinity, as well as to all Southern Cali
fornia, in that it will bring many visit
ors who. as they pass through Los An
geles will doubtless make the metropolis
and surrounding towns visit.
