Boomers and Leggins.

From the Philadelphia Press.l
 The bicycle costume of women is fac ing the struggle through which the fe- male bathing costume passed twenty five years ago.
 Seaside bathing on any large, gregar- ious scale began after the war. It ex- isted before. There was not much of it. When bathers began to multiply along the New Jersey coast women were wear. ing skirts which came below the knee and shapeless monstrosities in waists. It was impossible for any woman to swim or enjoy herself in the surf with this clothing, and 1t added very serious ly to the risks of bathing.
 There was a great outery in the early seventies, when daring young women who had been at Dieppe and Biarritz on the French coast shortened their bath ing dresses in all directions. Exactly the same criticism was made which is now heard on the subject of boomers on bicycles. Good people objected to the short bathing dresses. Nice peo- pie" hesitated about wearing them. The newspapers made fun of them.
 In spite of this the short skirts won. They are seen on every beach. Every one wears them. All conventions are fully satisfied by them. They are use ful. They are seemly. They are grace ful. A woman makes herself ridicu- lous if she wears anything else. The world, all worlds-the social, the relig- ious, the feminine and even the mascu- line world (silliest of all on these mat ters)--have accommodated themselves to the short skirts and exposed legs of the bathing dress
 On the bicycle, skirts are in the way. They are a nuisance. They catch on the wheels. They twist into the dust guards. They catch the wind and bal loon into ugly shapes. They worry nervous and sensitive women as to the precise exposure in progress about the boot tops. Occult tapes and band are invented and advertised warranted ,o belay skirts and reef them down to proper behavior.
 Boomers and leggins are the next natural step. They provide a costume

the Garden or EdenI ana so It pehooNSs the world to be interested in seeing what Electricity can do for ancient Egypt. There is said to be a scheme on foot for the development of part of Egypt by the General Electric com pany of this country, aided by Mir Cope Whitehouse and some officials
 under the Egyptian government. Lit
 tie is known about the plan, but that
 little is enough to show that 1t Is a
 great one. The large oasis or basin
 called the Fayoum is to be the, center
 of the new deal, and the water power
 which is to furnish the electrical en-
 ergy is involved in the current flowing
 into the Fayoum, and thence distribut-
 ed by canals over the neighboring sec- .tions of Egypt The great basin at
 this point is at all seasons of the year
 many feet below the Nile. The depth
 ordinarily averages, except during the
 period of inundation, over one hun
 dred feet. Through the ancient canal
 a strong current always runs at pres
 ent. The width of the Fayoum at it's
 western central or greatest expanse
 is about thirty miles, and the length
 forty miles. It Is said that the General
 Electric company proposes first of all
 to establish a great power plant at
 the Fayoum. Thence 1t will direct
 wires outward In radial lines to be used for the transmission of electricity for manufacturing purposes. A troll ley road is to extend from the city of
 Cairo or Gizeh to the new business cen-
 ter. The distance is about seventy
 miles. and the road will be easy of con- struction.. The line of the proposed trolley road passes the pyramids, an cient Memphis and many other land
 marks along the Nile. By this route it will be possible to convey tourists to and from points of interest in the vicinity, and no doubt there is some in ducement for the General Electric to enter into the venture in the chance of profits from such traffic. But the idea
 of MT. Whitehouse is for the capitalists to find the greatest inducement in regular earnings from the business of supplying power to manufacturing con- cerns. He believes that the wretched thousands of Cairo's dark hives will here turn to work, if only labor is offer ed them, and that they will offer them selves to employers at such cheap wage
 rates that the latter will find it a pay | ing policy to locate factories all along l the Nile and throughout the Fayoum and its adjoining districts. Labor will be cheaper than 1t is in Japan,
 in all probability, and the motive force | needed to keep great concerns in oper-
 ation can be provided at a minimum cost.
 Verify, these are wondrous days. The Egyptian mummies are pretty dead but | that is about to happen in their coun- try which is enough to make them l wriggle little even if it does not cause them to turn entirely over in their l prauac

ELEcrRIoIrY IN EGYPT.

If the Garden of Eden could really be located it would be interesting to see Man, who for his sin was fired out of it into labor and sweat, go back on to the old farm and cultivate it with as little work as possible, the idea being to show how much progress he had made in getting around the phenomenal curse. With wonder-making Electricity to aid him he could make things grow with but little real work, and it would pay the whole world to contribute to- ward making the show as brave and impressive as possible
 But there is little hope of finding

place in the ancient Stadium, which will be rebuilt for the purpose at an expenditure of 5OO 900 draehmas, wholly subscribed by MT. Averoff, a wealthy Greek In Alexandria. It Is to accom- modate 100000 people. The boat-races will be rowed between Old and New Phalerum, the harbor of Munychia be- ing used as shelter in rough weather. It Is expected that more than two hun dred boats will take part in these con- tests. For the running it is proposed to adopt the historic run to Marathon, Invitations have been forwarded to two thousand different athletic clubs in all parts of the world, and three hundred have already agreed to send representatives. At night the Stadium will be lighted by electricity, and na- tive dances will be performed. The Acropolis and the other ancient monu- ments will also be illuminated, More than 100000 visitors are expected to visit Athens from the provinces and abroad and the executive committee are anxiously considering the best means for the accommodation of this influx Greeks at home and aboard are taking the keenest interest in this national undertaking, and large sums of money have already been forwarded from London and Alexandria.

 50 there was to the short bathing skirts.
 The new costume is a shock So was
 the old. It is the subject of unpleas-
 ant remark and some remarks which
 are worse than unpleasant. But it is
 right. It meets the needs of a new sit
 uation. Social conventions and the con- ventions of dress will accommodate
 themselves to the new costume just as
 they did to the bathing dress, and, as with skirts in the surf, five years from now the 'nicest" and most fastid-
 ious will be wearing costumes at which the most daring now hesitate.
 Even the leggins are an unnecessary concession to a foolish prejudice. In our summer climate they are hot and uncomfortable. They add cost. They wear out rapidly. Being conspicuous. they have to be kept in jerfect order. They add one more risk, and no small one, and loose strap or button may mean serious fall. Why wear them?
 How altogether sensible the women are who are appearing on the bicycle with blooners that come to the knee and stockings below.
 Nor should one thing be forgotten. l These changes are most easily male and made to the best purpose by those who enjoy recognized position in so- ciety. They owe a duty to all other women There is none which such wo-
 men should take more pains in meeting and discharging, just at present, than the adoption and wear of the only sensi- ble costume on bicycle, boomers to the knee and stockings beyond.

A woman can do her hair exactly as she pleases, nc matter what rules are made by hair dressers, but whatever style she adopts there must be spice of quaintness about it. This need not be attained by rigid parting and by a high perched old-time comb unless that particular method suits the particular style of face in question, which it prob ably doesn't, Now, as always, fluffy hair in soft curls about the face from

temple to temple is becoming to many faces that are positively homely with out such softening surrounding. So, go ahead and wear a frilled bang if you want to. The model given here will show how to accomplishit and still look quite enough up to date and pretty be- sides. Where the curls stop, in conces- sion to the draped ear fashion now rampant, draw loosely a pair of ear- locks, keeping long loose line over the ears to give the grandmother effect that cannot be spared these days. Draw the rest of the hair loosely to just where it is most becoming, and, to att tain the high point above the head that seems to be a necessary part of the front view these days, tuck in a long stemmed spray of flowers, allowing the blossoms to stand we'll up. Features like those in this picture are thus far
 more becomingly set off than they
 would be by the primness that finical
 women now deem essential. and at the same time the coiffure is as stylish as
 need be.
 Side combs are still worn, but last winters use of them was too general to be again repeated, so they may be said to be fashionably on the wane. But the same license prevails with them that holds the general code of hair
 dressing, and there is no good reason against wearing them, only they do not give the air of distinction that they once did. In current usage there is as
 much excuse for wearing two or three pairs of them at once as for donning one pair, though that should not be ltaken to mean that they cannot be

Alaska, has lately entered into strong competition with the East for the northwestern market for salt fish, so long speciality in New England. The importance of the Alaskan fisheries is but little understood outside the terri tory, most of her products in this line being classed as from ths Northwest" !" without special credit. There are about a dozen salmon canneries now running in Alaska, and the output this year will be about 2,350,0 900 dozen cans. A big in- dustry in packing clams and making and bottling clam juice has lately be- come established, and about 5O,OO0 doz- en cans of clans were put up this year.
