HOW Easy it is to Excel in the Art of
Swimming. ,. "
Nine. Marion Lilijenstolpe, just entering
upon her work as professor of swimming at
the New Athletic club for women at Chicago,
wears two beautiful gold medals, of which
she Is deservedly proud. One bears testi-
mony to her unchallenged championship of
the world, so far as women swimmers go,
and the other was given her by the hand of
KING Oscar of Sweden himself at her gradu-
alton from the Royal Swimming association
of Stockholm. III
Few men, indeed, rival Nine, Lilijenstolpe
in her aquatic feats. Diving backwar from
a height of eighty feet and turning a somer-
sault before striking the water is just a little
trick to be INDUCED in by her upon any
casual occasion. From a height of fifty feet
she goes through the same performance with
a depth of only six and one-half feet of
water to recover herself in. Indeed, she has
made successful dives from the same height
into a sheet iron tank containing but three
and one-half feet of water.
One of her prettiest feats, however, is to
lie gracefully on her back, hold a Japanese
parasof in one hand, and fan herself with
the other, while she propels herself forward
with her feet. A still more difficult one is to
make a dive with both hands and feet tied
together in a hard knot, unit them under
water and proceed ON the even tenor of her

For the summer piazza one of the most
convenient pieces OF furniture is a folding
couch that can be raised up and fastened
to the side of the house somewhat similar
to a mantel folding bed.
The illustration shows such a couch that
Is attached to the weather boards of the
house at the inner side, by means OF large
strap hinges, while the outer edge is sup
ported on legs fastened to the under side
of the woodwork.
An old hair mattress can be employed
as the topping, and it should be laid on the
platform and held down by means of denim,
which Is drawn down all around the edges
and tackled securely to the wood.
The tufted effect shown in the ~illustra-
ton is obtained by making holes in the
wood and with a long pack needle string
is drawn up through the mattress and tied
at the top through the edge of a metal or
cloth-covered button.
Where the string is tied the mattress is
depressed so the button is deep-seated.

peau de sole, faille, Francois and satin fou-
lard.
The new lovely rose color called Ameri-
can beauty is a prominent shade among rich
or dainty summer textiles and on French
millinery in hats entire or among the strik-
ing accessories.
Entire white costumes will be in marked
vogue this summer, and as white parasols
and beautiful white dress materials are now
to be purchased at such surprisingly low
prices it is very easy to make a selection for
white toilets.
Summer cloth and foulard, and etamine or
canvas and foulard, form very smart gowns.
A few of the latest gowns are double-skirted,
but tho majority are in one piece when made
of wool of any description.
One of the pretty fabrics of the summer,
inexpensive enough to cast aside when its
first freshness is past. or one has had a
seasons careful wear out of it. is American
woven pique, or cotton reps" as some of
the merchants call 1t.
Many dressmakers are using founces cut
straight from the goods, instead of the long
popular circular shapes cut bias. The reason
Is that on wash fabrics the former come from
the laundry in better condition than the 9TH
ers, and on very light, airy fabrics they hang
better, even when the lounces are first ar
ranged upon the skirt.
A very stylish costume from Paris Is made
of shallow gray summer cloth trimmed with
white lace and black velvet ribbon. The I'M
derskirt has a ten-inch circular founce of
gray silk yelled with a white lace rufle of
the same width. The overdress is of gray
cloth. scalloped at the edges and bound with
black velvet. The open bodice has a vest
and collar of white lace over gray silk, the
vest being arranged a la Breton, with three
horizontal straps Of velvet. Silk and lace
frills finish the edges of the open waist.
These are turned back like reyers.

The smart loghorns are rather lofty OF

C OF dress can get UP her own leghorn
poems and some roses, tulle or lace, some
tufts Of grain and sometimes a little black
velvet ribbon are all the ingredients neces-
sary for a very dear hat.
Most mllliners face the tip edge of their
leghorn brims with one narrow line OF
black velvet and then the rear OF the brim
is pushed up fiat against the crown and
made fast by an ample cushion of pink
roses. Then, to be strictly orthodox, a
scarf OF silk muslin, edged with cream lace,
is flung about the crown and knotted elabor-
ately at some point with a double handful OF
wheat, rye or oats. With a serene disre-
gard Of natures laws, but a plausible con
viction as to what Is suitable in hat
architecture the manufacturers have put
forth a fine crop Of lilac tinted wheat,
shaded green, gray and mauve oats and rye

straw having a widish brim that curls up at
the edges, n medium crown lower on one
side than the other, a bandanna handker-
chief Of many colors twisted about this and
q huge eagle feather pushed through its
folds.
Whimsical Wraps.
! With the Arcadian leghorns the whim-
eically pretty summer wraps and parasols
artfully demand association. 1t goes with
out very profound explanation that these
airy overthings are purely for beauty's
sake. Some of them are heel long circular
capes of black net sprinkled with clusters
of brightly winking black sequins, in de-
signs of most meritorious pattern. and the
lovely robe is mounted on a white or tinted
chiffon BASIS, then fully edged with an
abundant lounce of black intricate frilled
ribbon pattern and chantilly or finest esprit
garnished with CLEANS of jet. H.
These studies in jet and net are worn
chiefly over frou frou white frocks and then
the wearer of so much fragile beauty car

out of ten, a sunshade OF chiffon covered
with an overlap of what the French de-

1gurings.
The most covetable carriage and lawn
parasols have their partitions of covering
cut in very deep godet points at the bottom
so that when opened the possessor appears
to have a huge airy star as a background
for head and shoulders. Another very pop
ular shape is the parasol with exactly four
ribs, thus practically producing a square or
diamond shaped canopy, and handles are
decorated to a degree.
A huge rosette Of chiffon and looDs of
white bebe ribbon fastens usually like a
big white rose about the long white wood
staff and then from this floats, with airy
