Clothes for the Seaside.

A writer in Womankind for August
says concerning clothes for the seaside;
II can say that it is best to take what
you have got. 1t does not make very
much difference for you will always be
dressed better than somebody and
worse than other people. Then some
women seem to have a better time in
a duck suit and in sailor hat than
does the woman who trails several
yards Of silk after her and tears the
lace on the rough boards Of the beach
wall with cool expectations. The shirt
waist is with US all. 1t is, with the
sailor hat the nearest approach to mas
culinc comfort Of apparel women have
ever had, and how they cling to it! The
shirt waist is much worn at the sea
side. 1t is seen morning, noon and
night. The most acceptable are those
made with yoke, turnover collar and
cuffs, such as have the standard makes
in the best dry goods stores. With q
good dark skirt. stout belt and a
black satin tie. the world can be defied.
The hat is usually black or blue, the
white sailors more often worn with the
wening dress the veil should match
and the purchase Of ten good stout hat
pins, long ones and tough ones at that,
will not be regretted.

unWise to attempt to cultivate it..
Around Old Point Comfort, where some
plants have been growing more or less
feebly for years, the winters cut the
plants badly, and on the upper parts
OF the Delaware Peninsula they were
entirely killed. But south of these
points, IN the piney woods country cx-

plants can be grown with great sue
