ed loyalty to the stars and stripes. Dur
ing the last campaign, when the republi-
cans had chosen the American flag as the
emblem OF their party, and the democrats
were resisting and protesting against their
action as usurpation, James stood one
night In hotel haranguing a crowd Of
silverltes. He was urging every man to
display an American flag on the day set
lor this purpose by the chairmen of both
the republican and democratic national
committees.

because he realizes the heritage that is

him employment. He finally succeeded In
getting him into railroad office at So a

salary, and he laid It all to the trusts.

causes for the change.
Although poor, James Is proud. He is
also modest and refuses to take advant-

Paris. June 10.-The new bathing dresses
are all of brilliantine, and Paris ladies'
tailor who designs them for hundreds of
tailors of London and New York says that
nearly every one of the newest models is
planned from this material. 1t has the
great advantage of not clinging to the
body when it is wet, and it does not
shrink
1t is surprising how many fashionable
women Of Paris buy several new bathing
suits every year. They regard them as
necessary part of the summer wardrobe.
The Countess of Essex, who is one of the
titled American women, gets three every
season, and in the middle of the Summer,
when other bathing suits begin to look
faded, as they will, she comes out with
glorious new one that rivals the colors of
the sun and the sea.

At this time there is great activity in the
bething-suit industry In Paris for great
many are to be sent over TO America FOR
the summer resort season, and very often
waerc no dress is ordered. there must be
a design furnished. for the American wo-
man likes to feel that her dress has the
Partisan cut even though she may not
like to 20 to the trouble and expense OF
importing one from Paris.
There is an idea prevalent that all Paris
gowns are elegant and expensive. but this
idea Is a false one. II Is the Paris cut
that Is sure to be good but the materials
are seldom as fine as those In common
use AZ home A home dress OF latest
Partisan design Is superior almost every
time to one made abroad, because better
goods are put In it.

ing of the newest and latest bathing dress
for 81; those who want something that has
not been worn before, and that is most
tasteful and stylish, cannot do better than
to take pattern by it,
The material for the dress was white
brilliantine. 1t was not of the finest quail
ity for fine goods cling too much to the
figure when in the water; nor yet was it
too coarse, for coarse goods will fade and
warp. About fifty cents a yard was the
sum paid for brilliantine for this ideal
bathing dress.
In bathing suit the amount required
depends great deal upon the size Of the
person; in street dress it is different, for
every one must have certain things; but in
bathing dress, which comes only to the
knee, the length of the woman decides the
amount of goods TO be used. For a. woman
of ordinary hight nine yards of brilliantine
about three-quarters of yard wide will
make very full bathing costume.

inside edge. For the top cut large
wheel Of the rubber cloth and shirr il
around the edge with a double row of
gathers, pull the gathering strings tight
as you put the rubber over the wire
frame, and finish with a twist of the rub
Der cloth.
With these designs for the bathing hats
there went advice from this Paris tailor
to the woman to procure a large plaid
handkerchief of the rubber and tie 1t over
her head. setting the Tam on top of Il.
With the white brilliantine suit the rub,
Der handkerchief was TO be of blue and
scarlet, with a white square In 1t.
The bathing stockings are to be cut out
of stockinette, and a cork insole set in
the foot. The cork insole was to be over
handed tightly to the foot of the stock
ing, forming a sort OF shoe to make the
foot more comfortable and to prevent the
stocking from wearing out and leaving the
feet upon the hard stones
Those who do not like to battle with bare
arms can place silk sleeves in the blouse
waist. The bolero slips on over them,
and the result of the contrasting sleeves
Is very pretty. Many bathers wear
leather belt in the water. and for these the
Paris tailor advised white one for
slender figure and a dark one for a fun
figure. other bathers prefer heavy
brilliantine belt tied and fastened with
a metal clasp.
Although a Paris dress" there is moth
ing extravagant about this design for
bathing suit. With the patterns furnished
and the aid OF any handy seamstress
woman at home can very easily get up
such bathing dress and make It as fine
as any Of Paris finish The greatest trou-
BILE is in laying the tiny folds OF blue brill
llantine upon the skirt and upon the
blouse, but with little patience this could
be done neatly, and the result is very
delightful bathing dress, as pretty and as
becoming as anything that will be seen
