Bathing Suits.

Now that he bathing season is al hand,
every one who can get to the coast or even
to the clear water lakes, is thinking about 9
bathing suit.
The materials used for such costumes are
many, the best of which are known as bril-
liantine, mohair or alpaca.
These are preferable to the heavier fabrics
as they do not hold much water and will
not cling to the figure when wet. Twilled
flannel, storm serge and pluette are also
used.
Navy blue and black are the colors best
liked as they hold we'll and are inconspic-
uous. For children gray flannel with
trimming of red or blue is often used. For
ladies and misses the blouse waist and
drawers are combined. The back edges are
sewed together and the opening is made in
front under box plat which is fastened
with three buttons. The front of the blouse
is left open to form a V at the throat and
shield is sewed under one side and
fastened to the other side by button and
button hole which are concealed by the
large sailor collar.
The edge OF the collar forms point over
each sleeve and at the back. The sleeves
may be short, full puffs reaching half way
to the elbow or long and finished with
straight cuffs at the wrist.
A short. full skirt exten ding to the knees
is sewed to a belt with one pointed end
which pins at the left side. The drawers
are gathered to form aruff1s below the knee.
very neat and pretty decoration for
suit of this kind is three rows Of machine
stitching, the thread used being white whip
cord crochet silk. The collar, sleeve band
or cuff, belt, edge of skirt and drawers
should all have the stitching.
An anchor is embroidered on the neck
shield with Asiatic twisted embroidery silk.
A gray suit for ayoung miss may be orna-
mented in the same way with red silk.
White braid may be used instead of the
stitching but is not as pretty.
Bathing suits for little boys have COM
bined blouse and drawers, Short plain
sleeves, large collar and belt. One row Of
braid with stitching on each side is good
decoration. Anchors may be embroidered
on the corners of the collar with the Asiatic

but he hoped to another limb, and began
again. louder than ever:

cutting up her mothers flowers with her
new hoe! The color grew deeper in Brides
cheeks, and her big blue eyes grew very
solemn.
Use sorry, Fader," said a little voice at
his elbow; and father put down his paper
and took the culprit Oh his knee.
