Bathing Costumes.

There are few changes in the ordinary
bathing costume, but both skirts and
knickerbockers are slightly fuller this
season, and this is considerably more
becoming to the figure than the skirts
gored closely and showing the figures
which always spreads without the corr
set. European costumes are, however,
more varied and elaborate than ours
one of the newest being made from q
serge, the pattern a large blue ana
green plaid, with red stripe.
Linens of heavy make are also em-
ployed. but colored ones, however we'll
dyed, do not stand sea water and one or
two immersions render the linen patchy
and discolored. Blue or dark red
serge is undoubtedly the best for serv-
iceable costumes and very suitable for
either women or young girls.
The vest may be of white flannel. with
lines of narrow black braid, and the
revers and other portions also trimmed
with the braid. The opening is at the
front, but the lower part of the skirt Is
closed, and the white plastron fastens
over to the side under the edge OF the
revers. The knickerbockers open at the
sides only. and both these and the puff
ed sleeves are drawn in with elastic ano
finished with frills.

full girl whom he made his wife. After
the ceremony the bridegroom made a
theatrical speech to the witnesses, In
which he stated that his bride was of

the nuns would add to her beauty all
the graces and accomplishments of edu-
cation. And. for all the world knows to
the contrary. they lived long and hap

We all know that our feet spread ana

because we do not know how to rest

but by resting them in the wrong way
