A Birds Peculiar Choioe.

A strange nesting place was that
once selected by swallow. At Cor
ton, Lowestoft, England, Mr.. Rus
sell Coleman discovered swallow 8
nest, with young birds in it, on the
revolving part of the machinery of
a common windmill.
The particular spot chosen was
the "wallomer, the outer edge Of
one of the wheels. The revolutions
averaged 80 minute, and Mr.. Cole
man estimated that in that time the
nest travelled about 1s0 feet. The
young birds would certainly be ex-
perienced travellers before they left
such nest.
The mother bird, when sitting,
usually travelled tail foremost, and
when she entered or left the mill
she had to make use Of the hole
through which the laying shaft pro-
iected. To do this it was necessary
for her to dodge the sails, which
were, of course, hung close to the
wall of the mill.
When the creaking and shaking
of the machinery Of a windmill il
taken into account, one can hardly
fail to be struck with the peculiar
taste of the bird that chose such ar
apparently uncongenial spot II
which TO rear her young.

LEARNING TO SWIM.

just as soon as the warm weather sets
in, many persons who, at the close of last
summer. were able to swim a few strokes,
will again somewhat timorously enter the
water. The majority will find this self
imposed task far more difficult than is
anticipated. 1t is necessary to to remind
those that indulge in short, hurried
strokes that one of the golden rules of
swimming is to move slowly and deliber-
ately. Those who wish to become good
swimmers must cultivate self-reliance
and they should always bear in mind
that water itself has a sustaining power
far greater than that of most other
liquids The slow stroke is the very es-
sence of good swimming. 1t enables the
bather to initiate the lungs and thus I'M
consciously turn them temporarily into life
preservers To move slowly Is to get
plenty of breathing time and to get
plenty of breathing time is to get plenty
OF strength to repeat the movements
which propel the body through the water.
The second golden rule which the begin
ner should school herself to remember
is that the living human body is specfi-
cally lighter than the water, and that

around with three folds OF taffeta in an
Incorporating shade os hunter 5
green. They were arranged in points
at the front Of the skirt
The corsage had a long yoke OF plerc-
ed ecru batiste that merged into vest
at the front. 1t was placed over
transparency of turquoise taffeta that
showed through conspicuously. A
broad strip of the green taffeta outlined
the edge Of the yoke back and front
The sleeves of the plaid were close fit
ting and long, with flare at the hand
showing facing Of the green taffeta.
A long sash of green taffeta was drap-
ed around the bottom of the corsage
and knotted at the left Ade where the
ends We're allowed to ling to the bot
tom of the skirt.
Long sashes are quite feature or
this summers gown. They are made
often of the softer qualities of silk and
they may be knotted either at the left
side or at the back of the gown, but
the must be tied without loops.
Quite an original lawn gown had a
white background with a. close Jap
anese pattern printed in delft blue. 1t
was made up over white taffeta.
The skirt was trimmed with two
broad overlapping flounces, wider at
the back than the front, the edges of
which were finished with frills of Irish
point.
The corsage ri the lawn turnin g
back in deep, full revers from a long
yoke Of tucked null 1t fastened over
to the left side. Full frills of the Irish
point trimmed the revers and the wrists
of the close fitting sleeves. Broad delft
blue velvet ribbon was employed for the
collar and ceinture. None of the sum-
mer gowns can be described as wash
gowns" as of yore. When they become
soiled and mussed they are handed over
to the dyeing establishments where they
are cleaned and pressed and brought
back to the owner, every frill and puff
intact.
DOING THEM UP.
A French woman freshens her mus
lin gowns when they become soiled at
the wrists and shoulders by rubbing
magnesia over the sOiled places. Then
she hangs them up for two or three
days before she treats them to a brisk
brushing
They wear these fine dresses to the
seashore for the air does not seem to
dampen them. The TRUTH is that they
are made of durable materials that will
stand dampness without losing their
spirit. Chiffon and grenadine are
mockery and by-wOrd at the seashore
but god lawn, a fine null, an upright
challie, without poor places in its
weave, will wear throughout any sea-
shore season.
Sashes go with everything. You can
tie them or pin them and you can make
them out of any material. Silk is al
ways good if you want to gather little
ribbon ruf1e along the edge so much
the more fashionable.
NINA GOODWIN.

consequently it does not necessarily sink
therein. Confidence in the sustaining
power of water is the only secret to swim
ming. The best way to convince the
novice Of the baoyancy of water is to let
her wade out until the water comes up TO
her breast but before doing this she
should take care, when in shallow water,
to immerse her whole body, 50 as to avoid
the rush of blood TO the head, from which
bathers suffer through neglecting to do
this With the water once on level
with the breast the bather should lie on
her back and extend her arms out beyond
her head, but not raised out of the water
This position makes breathing easy and
counterbalances the weight Of the legs
The bather> should lie restfully and avoid
stiffening the neither limbs. The hips
should be rigid. the feet close together,
but not out of the wa:er, for if they were
they would overbalance the weight of the
head and carry it beneath the surface
