been done to the wires of any of the

the service was not hindered in their

Her Bathing Suit BAH.

I've Just been thinking of something
new in the way Of entertainment the COM
ing winter" said a lively society girl of
Philadelphia the other day, land I've got
it. It's great scheme and it makes an
afternoon tea look like milk and water and
a euchre look like deuce spot. I'm going
to give a bathing party next winter and
you see If it doesn't make a sensation.
Now, at first sight it may seem shocking,
but it isn't. l want the girls to come in
their bathing suits and the men to come
likewise arrayed. And even in a bs thing
suit in winter time a girl will be dressed
more warmly than she would be in a regu-
lation ball gown-aDd infinitely more com
Portable. And the men can wear overcoats
and come in automobiles, you know, and
in that way they wont run any risk of
catching cold OF course, the whole scheme
of it will be odd, but that's just where its
interest will come in. For II it's all right
for a girl to parade the beach in curt
suit and where thousands will see her,
why, it surely wont be any harm for her
to wear her bathing suit in the house,
where only a few Will see her. And as for
the men-well, We see them daily for three
months in the year in all the brave array
of next to-nothingness, so l suppose we
can stand them for one evening in winter.
Fer refreshment I'm going to have salt
water taffy and hockey pokey occupying
prominent places, and one figure of the
cotillion will be danced with buckets and
shovels and over a sand-covered floor.
tell you, my bathing suit dance will be one
OF the features of the year this winter in
Philadelphia-and l want you to be sure
aud come" She stopped for a second and

To Dnrken the Dawn.

Here is a discovery: A thin black India
silk handkerchief tied over the eyes is the
best remedy for the annoyance of the early
morning glare to which in their bedrooms
most persons are now subjected.
This is an army trick, commonly prac-
ticed on the plains and in camp by those
desiring to sleep after dawn, but never be-
fore divulged to the effete Fastener Some
officers scorn this expedient, others like it,
and the army woman resorts to it al
ways 1t often happens, however, that
she does not possess black silk hand
kerchief, in which case she pins black
stocking over her eyes instead. And fire.
quently her husband is not above beg
ging the other stocking. This solves the
problem of shutting out the light in
most simple and effectual way.
But the army woman says there is no
reason why every woman living in prox
unity to shops should not have black
India silk handkerchief.
Blinds and awnings, in addition to
window shades. are all very well TO dark
en- a room if they are on a house, but fire.
quently they are not. more particularly
in the country. where they are most
needed. Then, even in the event of hav-
ing these Iuxuries in hot weather many
the amount of air these things shut cut
from a room.
Everyone knows in the migration from
town to country how annoying the early
morning light is to the city bred, par
ticuiarly the women who do not have to
rise at the first crow of the cock in order
TO catch train to business. Those peo-
pie who are summering in hotels and
boarding houses commonly occupy rooms
with whitewashed or very light papered
walls, and this reflects the strong light
which by o'clock these summer morn
ings begins to turn the light sleeper
into wakeful, restless creature, who
IL he or she have blinds gets up and
closes them, but is forced for lack of
air to at least leave the shutters open,
whereby TOO much light enters. And fire.
quently there is so little air that to bar
out any OF 1t, even by drawn blinds with
open shutters, is out of the question:
