matter. but they admit that the sum
is in excess Of $4,000. Six men did the

Signs Her Full Name.
ON the Philadelphia Times.

FROM the Philadelphia Times.
There are styles in which a woman signs
her name, just as there are STYLES in every
thing else; and if they have changed less
frequently than have the fashions in dress
carpets and wall papers. they have chang
ed no less surely. In times past women
not infrequently subscribed themselves by
using the initials, one or more, as the case
may have been, of the Christian name but
since women have entered 50 extensively
into the professions and employments and
have become accustomed to handling bust
ness correspondence and signing checks
NJ. Smith and L. J. Jones are rapidly Civ
ing way TO Mary Smith or Elizabeth Jami-
son Jones.
Changes in the character Of the names
themselves are no less observable and
equally interesting. There seems To be a
reaction from fancier names, such as
Gladys, Beatrice, Pansy, to the Mary. Mar
garet, Elizabeth and Katherine of our
grandmothers' time. Even the once much
despised Sarah. now spelt without the n.
has become fashionable. Nor are diminu-
tves as popular as they once were. In
this direction the influence of higher
schools and colleges for girls has been eX-
erted to excellent purpose.

able, sensible and stunning dress. The
krickerbockers hung slightly below the
skirt, the case in almost all of the
new dresses.
No one nowadays makes large and vo-
luminous boomers TO wear with bathing
suits. Instead scant knickerbockers are
worn and the change is very much for the
better. For although a bathing dress
should be modest. it should never be heavy,
as there is too much danger of being caught
in situations where the weight of a heavy
bathing suit might be a dangerous factor
in saving or losing life. The flannel tights
which are SO excellent for swimmers are
not so popular they were for ordinary
bathers who hold on a rope when large
wave comes. Yet tights with stocking feet
and WOODEN straps across the shoulders are
still the most sensible sort of underdress
for bathers
Details of the Fit.
All waists blouse a little in front, and
are carefully fitted in the back Some of
the new waists are made with bretelles
coming to the waist instead of the sailor
collar or short effect, but it is doubtful
whether this is successful and natty.
These bretelles are usually of a contrast
ing color while a vest of the material Of
which the suit is made shows between them
and is generally fastened into a shallow
yoke at the top. Sleeves are universally
short now that women no longer care for
lily fairness and feel that a healthy tan is
more wholesome. Long sleeves We're al
ways clumsy when wet and always in the
way if one wished to swim.
One can get ali sorts of shoes and all
sorts of caps and even long rlitts or gloves
for the arms to go with ones bathing

from the sun. while in the water and real
rubber caps which do their duty unless one
is knocked off ones feet by an unusually

both recommended enthusiastically by the
particular class who affect them. Some in
dustriOus women who wear white sailor
collars their bathing dresses make half
a dozen or so of pique, duck and linen and
then every time she goes into the water she
has a fresh collar, which adds greatly to
her appearance and only increases her
laundry bills about ) cents a day.
A Becoming Protection.
Then there are stunning cloaks or bath

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, June -, 1899.
During these torrid days, when the city
has been one vast bake oven and the dwell
ers in the country declared they were not
faring much better there has been but one
class of people who wore a contented ex-
preston. And to see them one had only to
travel to nearby seaside resorts. These
people were to be found with the cool
green waves dashing up about them, and
nowhere else was any one with a satisfied
countenance to be found.
So to the subject of something to be worn
into these frolicking pillows the mind of
woman has been turning; that is, of the
woman who is lucky enough to go shore
ward to escape a climate which has sud-
denly begun to remind one wildly of half
forgotten narratives told of the tempera-
ture upon the Desert of Sahara. Those who
cannot go to the seaside or those who say
that sea bathing has no attraction for them
may be left to suffer without sympathy
They don't know what life holds and it is
useless to try to enlighten them.
The woman who hastily decides that she
needs bathing suit, looks about the shops
and chooses something between So and $40
and goes to the seashore and wears it usu-
ally makes a mistake. To be sure, one
cant get up q bathing suit for much less
than 81, unless one happens to have an Old
taffeta skirt and shirt waist. as one lucky
individual had this spring. She made her
self simply stunning bathing dress, COM
bining the taffeta with white duck or rath-
trimming it with white duck. for all she
had of the latter was a wide sailor collar
and bands about the sleeves and a dickie
of white duck. With the modest price at
which one can buy white canvas, this suit
was most economical. and il easily outdis-
tanced every other bathing dress about.
For the taffeta was light shed water like
a ducks feathers and yet was perfectly
modest. and a most beautiful and glistening
black when it was wet
