on under an outside belt. Trimmings are
white, red and blue braid, or the same ma

and sleeves are short and most graceful

will be seen short, close sleeves, but fit as

I'D. Not Down. to Date.

A writer in a Boston paper happened the
other day to use the phrase up to date" and
that led him into an interesting parenthetical
remark. In England, he tellsus, one does not
say up TO date" but down to date, which
funny as il seems, be thinks quite logical
since we come .'downtbe agesand centuries. "
But do we? This is the very question.
Aren't the numbers getting higher all the
time and il they are getting higher must we
not be going up? We should say that it was
quite climb from Ammo Domini 13 up to
Ammo Domini 600, and from tbatup to 1895.
From our present pinacleswe caulook down
upon little 13 and survey all the years be-
tween and note the things that happened in
if we had to look up at the cycles. And it
seems TO us that it indicates much finer
mental twist to speak of toiling up the years
than to beeversliding downthem.-Rochestel

CAPS AND HANDERCHIEFS.
AS to these head handkt. ohiefs and all
the other impediments that go with bathing
clothes: The handke re hiefs are more chic
and becoming than the oilskin caps SO long
in favor. They are no protection to the
hair, of course, but then the caps are no
great protection either, Desiues neIns
ugly, which is a crime, and with the head
crowned with brilliant bit OF color a
shabby bathing suit may be made to do duty
indefinitely.
The most bearable OF the handkerchiefs
are in solid tints-red, blue, yellow and
black-but there are also some with plain
centers and striped borders and very dash
ing onesin great, gaudy plaids.
Stockings are IN solid tints or are else
divided With a sock effect into light and
a dark section, which style, however, as
well as brilliant colors, is only suited to
the slimmest extremiites. Ladies with
what the circus clown humoTously, but un-
gallantly, dubs ''pianny legs"-begging
their pardon, of course-should stick re-
ligiously to black stockings Three pairs

be called into service, though each of the
imported suits described vas provided
with a little pair of sandals that were to
be fastened ou with a cross gartering of
ribbon, as are those in Illustration.
AS can be seen, this cross gartering is a
graceful addition To slight ankles; but IT

The announcement that the statehouse
commissioners have decided not to suspend
the famous Goldfish from the dome of the

forth protests from several of the more
sentimental members of the incoming legis-
lature and one member from the cape district
has announced his intention of offering
resolve providing for the placing Of the

prove of no little interest, for there will

Although there are still icebergs in the
Atlantic. and the north wind blows chill
at moments, bathing suits have come to
town, some of them being adorable fri
volities in silk and satin, which may stand
a ducking, but which, nevertheless, look
strongly suggestive Of only high and dry
posings on the sand.
FOR REACH PARADEs.
For, if some maids look upon counting
the salt sea wave as the summit of human
bliss, there are others Of the sex we know
who prefer the courting of man; and for
these last a bathing costume affords gold
en- and legitimate opportunities. With
old Papa Neptune as chaperone trim an

hidden by the long skirts, and groomed
top-knots OF winter civilization, may now
come, be seen and conquer. Welcome,

however, are hot purely for ornamental
purposes.
