trimming Is not a serious objection.
The revers on this seasons suits are
made to extend to the waist, and merge
into the collar at the shoulders.
The front is trimmed with bands of
braid or with an embroidered anchor.
The belt is made of the same material
as the trimming, which is usually
white. and is banded with narrow
braid.
The band around the bottom of the
skirt. instead of being straight is curved
at the upper edge into points and edged
with narrow braid.
The simplest as well as the most at
tractive bathing costume 1 have seen
is a new invention of this season. 1t
has a plain waist, not at all full but far
from tight, which is cut square in the
neck but not at all low. The whole
suit is trimmed with white Hercules
braid an inch in. width. The braid is
sewed around the square neck and
edges the short sleeve puff. 1t is also
put on the waist in a sort of jacket
shape with the points turned upward

arm. run several inches toward the
front. then suddenly turn a sharp COR
ner straight down toward the waist.
down the skirt, and at the bottom of
the front they turn back in points that
correspond to those on the waist.
But after all, the most satisfactory
bathing suit fer the average woman is
black brillantine. One can buy the
suit ready made for prices varying
from 1925 to $500, but it is usually
more satisfactory and somewhat cheap
er to buy the goods and make it one
self. Bought skirts are usually either
too long or too bulky, and the boomers
rarely fit unless they are made to
measure. hence if it is grace that one
seeks, one should have her bathing suit
made along with her other dresses, or,
if that is too expensive, make it her
self, which she can easily do. Five
yards of black brilliantine at fifty cents
yard is an ample amount for the most
elaborate suit. A piece of white, Grim
killed. braid is sufficient trimming, but plain
black is quite as becoming to a grace
| full figure. Six or seven yards of gloria
silk is really the most luxurious thing
for such suit. 1t is much lighter than
anything else, and never clings to the
body like flannel, and it is delightful
material to work on while it is being
made. 1t can sometimes be purchased
for sixty-five cents yard. SO at that
rate ones suit need not cost more than
four dollars. There are all sorts of
chances for red feather stitching on
the hens if one chooses to take the
trouble, but one rarely does At any
rate, the black, gloria suit is, the most
all around satisfactory bathing suit
that has yet been discovered.

the water in a corset is regarded as I'M

At Manhattan, especially in the
morning before the multitude has be-
gun to swarm in upon them, or on week
days, one sees some of the gaudy bath
ing suits that have been exhibited in
the stores and which one has come to
regard as mere advertising samples
that are never sold.
AS one goes farther from New York,
the costumes become gayer and pref
tier, and down on the Jersey coast one
is not surprised to see the bright red
suit that completes the list of red ar
ticles in the wardrobe of the summer
girl of 1897 Everything else is red
why not a red bathing suit? At any
rate, whether there is any excuse for it
or not, the red suit is there, and it is
not the only one on the beach either.
IT is made of brilliantine, as most suits
are, nowadays, and trimmed with black
braid, and yes, oh horror of horrors,
the stockings are bright red, too There
is much to be said in favor of red for
bathing. For one thing. it makes a
bright and attractive splash against
the blue Sky and sea. and what is more
to the point, it would be impossible for
the wearer of such a suit 10 drown

But as you want something practical,
here are two or three complexion hints
which have not found their way into
print before. A Southern woman who has
turned the heads or more men than it
is profitable to enumerate, with her soft

attractions to an old-fashoned inedi-
