-HE girl sea bather is as much an
object of annual interest as the fower
show She is ever the same in variety
l. vet ever new. even as the blossoms
are There are three types-the bather'
the swimmer and the sand poser
OF the three the mere bather Is Ine
least attractive to the observer. The
r,o1Yon who does not swim and only
ventures into the water for her health
usually sees to it that her body is well
covered with flannel and that her SKIRT
hides as much display of limb as pos
sible If she is a thin woman or even
thin skinned she wears long sleeves and
looks exceedingly unpicturesque as she
waddles down to the edge or the SURF
and still more unpicturesque as she "au-
dies back to the bathhouse aIlel tie
waves have caressed her.
But she has had her bath, solely for
the purpose of health, and she says she
does not care how she looks or What
neople think about her appearance. Mean
time. she is, as a rule, very critical of the
costume worn by her swimming sister.
The girl who swims certainly makes
quite another picture as she emerges from
her dressing room and starts for the
beach. She goes briskly, all alive with
the thought of the delicious pleasure be-
fore her She does not seem to be con-
scious of her costume. but the bathing
woman saws she is and declares that she
ought to be ashamed of herself, making
such a display of her person
To be sure, there are no sleeves and
either the round arms CLEAN forth from
shoulder to wrist or long hsle-thread
cloves cover the too delicate flesh from
the burning rays of the sun and give the
costume an evening dress effect which the
bather cannot pardon
The skirt is very short and rather
scant. Long stockings meet the trim
trousers just above the knee. She is
very pretty picture, indeed, for the brlet
moment she is visible
The good swimmer never fingers long
on the shore. Perhaps she is conscious
that her skirt is short, but she knows it
is necessarily so if she would enjoy her
swim and get its full benefit.
The sand poser is still another being.
She gets herself up expressly to be ad-
mired She neither bathes nor swims.
Her costumes are many and beautiful,
she wears coquettish bonnets, tight cor
sets. elegant belts and expensive hose.
She is almost always pretty, and her
form suggests living pictures. In fact. it
is merely a matter of environment that
she is not on the variety stage.
She has precisely the same order of
mind that is possessed by the vaudeville
favorite. But she has money and family
and position or some sort 10 MAINTAIN ana
so she is not a professional living picture
or an artists model, who displays her
figure for living, but merely an anna
teur who exhibits her charms for the
pleasure she finds in being observed.
She never ventures beyond her shoe
tops in the water. She parades the beach
with an admirer on either side, and she
poses IN the sand under a becoming par
asol.
IT would not be difficult for any of her
escorts to draw a memory sketch of her

Call For County Suffrage Convention.

All friends of justice and equal rights
in Blue Earth county are urgently in
Vited to meet in mass convention ia
Mankato, at M. E church, Sept. Goth
and 81. 1899. The convention will be
held under the joint auspices of the
National-Americap Woman Suffrage
Association and the Minnesota Equal
Suffrage Association Able speakers
will be present, and an entertaining, in
structive program will be provided.
-Four states, Wyoming, Colorado,
Utah and Idaho have already granted
full suffrage to women, while twenty
six additional states have admitted the
justice of the claim by extending partial
suffrage. The states which have had
full opportunity to observe the advan.
tages of woman suffrage, unite in the
testimony that it has proved beneficial
in every direction. 1t has in no way
injured men, women or the state. In
stead under it's influences, women have
become more intelligent and self-reliant;
good men have been encouraged by the
moral aid of women, and have sought
publication of politics, which they were
unable to accomplish alone; while the
state has gained new dignity by the
introduction of this moral force
Important business concerning
methods of work best suited to hasten
the establishment of woman suffrage,
in order that the state may gain its
consequent good effects, will be con-
sidered in the convention. The friends
of suffrage are invited to aid in the for
nation of these plans; the indifferent
are invited to attend the sessions that
they may be converted land the opposed
are invited to participate in the discus
sion, presenting their side of the ques-
ton. Everyone is invited Come one,
come all.

Exchanges Speak of Mankato's Recent
Street Fair.

The Southern Minnesota papers are
finding material for articles out of
Mankato's street fair.
The Wells Forum says:
There was warm time in Manka.

The management of the fair had
licensed fakirs of all kinds in order to
get more revenue to carry on the fair.
The most Objectionable features were
the wheel Of fortune smen and the ou-
chic coutchie dancers, la Midway.
The ministers got after the fakirs and
got the mayor to close them up. But
the management of the fair backed the
fakirs, and the mayor allowed them to
resume operations again on condition
that that the outchie coutchie be stop
ped and that 25-cent limit be placed
on gambling Mankato is getting to
be pretty warm town, and il it can
not get up street fair without hcens-
ing lot of fakirs to rob the people, it
it had better give up the job. If the
fakirs are going to take lot of money
out of town, the fair does not do for the
citp what it is intended to do, and
might as well be abandoned
The following is from the st. Peter
Tribune
IF you cannot speak we'll of your
neighbors, you had better not speak at
all, is no doubt good logic, and we will
therefore apply this rule in saying but
little about the conduction of the Man
kato street fair last week, the manage
ment of which was condemned by it's
own citizens. Such gang of fakes of
different character was an everlasting
disgrace to the city, and we do not won

of Mankato became indignant over the
wide open privileges granted to gain,

Making 5000 a Year at Dairying.
1.-THE Milk Reporter. /

The Milk Reporter
There are two women who know how
to make money at dairying. They live
at Belle Meade, in middle Tennessee,
which is the biggest, the most beauti-
full, and the most famous stock farm in
the world.
Blood horses have made it famous for
seventy-fve years, The dairy is new
development. The young women, with
their brother, are joint heirs to the
estate, which embraces nearly 5000
acres, enclosed with thirty five miles of
stone walls.
Around the deer park, where so odd
head of deer roam and browse under
the forest primeval, the stone wall is
supplemented with six-foot iron
paling.
The COWS do not run with the deer.
They have richer pastures called their
own, meadows knee-deep in lush blue
grass and white clover, lying either side
of Richland creek.
There are hundred and fifty of
them-high grade Jerseys, or full bloods
of the most famous milking strains
The number in milk ranges from 80 to
$50. The milking is pretty sight in
deed. The sleek, deer-eyed. full
uddered, creamy skinned creatures
come in from the pastures and range
themselves, each in her appointed stall.
The stalls fill three sides of a great
square. An open shed covers it. Out
side there runs a trough for the dry
feed which serves as an appetizer for
the abundant grass. In the middle as
well as about the pastures, there are
ironwork baskets, open underneath.
