which a bright silk handkerchief is
tied in front in coquettish. bow For
the sun there is a bathing hat of OIL
skin with a puff crown and the brim
shirred on wires like a child's lawn hat.
This over pretty face, and tied CO.
quettishly under the chin is very fetch
ing.
For the modest bather, who dislikes
going from the bath house to the water
uncovered, there are some wonderful
cloaks which shroud The figure COM
pletely. A light French waterproof silk
was the material of one seen, and
which, with big puff sleeves and wide
hood, seemed almost as elegant as an
opera wrap. The others were of white
Turkish toweling and navy blue fam
mel, and were in ithe shape of a huge
circular cape. NINA FITCH.

white are preferred for those between
the ages of % and 40; deep red roses
are exceedingly good form for people
still older.
Wreaths to adorn statues or monu-
ments must be round, and are made by
tying leaves on a strong, heavy wire,
which is then bent into a circle of the
desired size. The magnolia leaf is the
very best for this purpose, as it is
thick, solid and durable. Next to this
is the we'll beloved laurel, while the
galax leaf from North Carolina is in
great vogue for wreaths, as it is beau
tiful in form, color and texture, and
easily lasts month. 1t is, however,
less available for Decoration Day than

taken to select those that will not in
crease the size of the feet and ankles.
A size smaller than is generally worn
will keep the feet from spreading too
much, and for slender extremities there
are some gay colored stockings with
black seek effects that are very stun
ming. The black and dark blue ribbed
and open work hose are also effective,
but thick ankles and clumsy under
standings will find their defects en-
phasized by any but the plainest black
stockings.
For tender feet there are bathing

OVERCOME THROUGH DIPLOMACY,

Wv ENOOub IhfbOOOIl D1FbOuADLs
The young man was bringing to tear
all his limited attachments as a con-
tortionist in his efforts to see around
the tall, wide hat worn by the sweet
girl in front of him. The young To-
man whom he was accompanying
saw him and pitied him. Then a know
ing smile passed over her face and she
leaned over and whispered loud enough
for the girl with the big hat to hear:
What lively hat that girl in front
of you has on"
He looked fierce and said nothing,
and the owner of the hat stared
straight ahead with pleased express
sion.
What a pity it is the young Ho-
man, with the knowing looked assum-
ed, ''that she doesn't know it isn't ION
straight
The girl in front made a convulsive
grab and shifted the hat to one side
Then it didn't feel right, and she SHOW
ed it away over on the other side, only
to hear in the commiserating stage
whisper behind her:
"Poor thing! She never'n get it
straight nowp'
It was too much. The girl in front
reached up with a resolute hand, I'M
did the hat, and laid it on her lap.

With the s1nartest mohair suits there
is q tendency to contrasts in color,
which will be found very decorative
on the right girl. The suit will be in
one tint and the trimming in another,
in bands for the skirt and with per-
haps a Jacket effect for the bodice, and
in narrow belt or pointed girdle to
hold the waist in trinity.
The plain waist models are made
with a pointed yoke back and front
with a plated or gathered lower por-
ton.
A smaller sailor collar and bands on
the skirt in another tint will be the
trimming of this, or perhaps white.
black or red braid will be used. and

last generation, fought and died for the
great union. The interim is used in
keeping their attention more or less
upon the incidents of the late war, and
instilling into their youthful souls that
love of country without which a man
is never quite a man; so that the in

GRAFTON is of inestimable value. The
flowers which they bring are mostly
small pots of geraniums, fuchsias,
stock, and even the more perishable
petunias, all of which they can get for
from 5 to 10 cents apiece. These are
usually planted on the soldiers graves,

there will be wool tights instead of the
trousers, the tights being preferred by
many as allowing more freedom in
movement.
Tie sleeves of these suits are usually
in short puffs and the neck of the bod
ice is commonly finished with a broad
sailor collar
The more inexpensive suit the more
it runs to white braid, zig-zag and
plain, and the bigger its collar.

DECORATION DAY FLOWERS.
A Popular Floral Festival in Which
the Professional Flower Dealers
Have No Part.

Many may be surprised to learn that
the 9Oth of May, far from being a
boom for the florists, is one of their
poorest days in the whole year. The
twenty-four hours before, their sales
hardly reach the ordinary level; while

satin had the neck cut quite low and
finished with a rose quitting of the
same. The sleeves were in short double
puffs and three Norfolk plaits, back
and front of the bodice, was another
novelty. Another bathing dress of I'M

told me, they might as well shut up
shop at 10 o'clock in the morning so
far as any business is concerned. Now
and then florist may get an order
from a Grand Army post to decorate a
single monument or statue, but even
this occurs much less frequently than
formerly. The custom of making it a
general day for strewing the graves of
friends with flowers has quite gone out,
