IAN You
Swim ?

With EIS thermometer far up in the
nineties 1 have just returned from
glorious plunge in Atlantic ocean wa
tiers and sit down cool and comfortable
to tell my dear readers that they miss
half the fun of the world if they DO not
know how to swim. Women have usu-
ally more difficulty than men in begin
ming to try to keep themselves up On
the water, because they are more easily
frightened and become panicky. Boys
are allowed to go into the water and be
familiar with it almost from the time
they can walk. To overcome the panic
that seizes ON so many girls in the wa
ter they have only to do as the boys
have dOne-go into it often. Wade
around in it, gradually deeper and
deeper, till you can walk about in water
above your waist. Meantime constant
ly paddle with your arms. One point
is to be remembered emphatically-
keep your fingers together always,
making an oar blade of your open
hand. Persons who think they are
drowning and who thrash their arms
wildly about could in q moment rem
der themselves entirely safe if they
could think to keep their arms under
the surface of the water, their fingers
together, then simply pump their arms
up and down under the water. The
steady padding downward Of the
hands under water keeps the head up
easily above it and would do so all day.
Walk about in the water till you have
quite overcome your panic, meantime
waving your arms about under the wa
ter as have told you. After you have
overcome your fear begin to use your
arms scientifically. Put your arms
close to your breast, your palms to-
gether like those of people represented

THE DIVE.

: in pictures IN the attitude OF prayer.
! Thrust your arms, palms still together.
! straight out in front of you full length.
/ Then part your hands and sweep your
arms wide out around you and back
ward, bringing them each close to your
Side. AS you sweep the arms around
gradually turn them like an oar blade
/ till your thumbs point down and the
backs of your hands would be together
If you were now to put your arms out
N front Khen, after you have finished
this sweeping curve Of the arms as d.
rected and they are close to your sides,
repeat the process again and again till
your are familiar with 1t. II you do
not understand this direction, read It
over till you do.
After you have the arm motion try
that of the leg and foot. Keep both
feet upon the ground till you can use
your arms freely. Then paddle with
the arms and lift one foot of the
ground, walking upon the other. Now
you are swimming with all parts of the
body except one foot. You will find
after little practice that you can pro-
pei yourself through the water with
one foot quite drawn up, giving your
self only an occasional shove with the
toes Of the other. After you are famil-
lar with this movement you will find
yourself bringing both feet up and
swinging before you know it simply
by the use of your arms. Many wom-
en- swim in that way entirely and new
er do get proper use of their feet,
which is all wrong. The swiftest
swimmers propel themselves most pow
erfully with their feet, giving them
selves long jumps forward like a frog.
This is how to get the use of your
feet: While you are showing yourself
about with your ayms and upon one
foot, draw the othCr up beneath your
body. Occasionally give a vigorous
kick with it backward and sidewise.
Watch a frogs hind leg when he
swims, and you will get the idea ex-
actly. Practice with one foot this frog
kick. the other still holding you upon
the ground. till you get it. Try both
feet, each in turn. When you have got
the stroke and the confidence. use both
together. and away you go.
These are not swimming teachers
instructions. They give simply a plain
method whereby woman who feels
panicky in the water may overcome her
fear and learn TO propel herself about.
Have as little weight of clothing as
possible. A combination suit. all in one
piece. without skirt. is best Stockings

proper use Of their money; to buy every
thing for them, to free them from all
cares and responsibilities and to crafty
their desires, often at the cost of much
saving and scrimping. Even the tiniest
tot should have a weekly allowance Of
a cent or two, and the older children
should have so much a week given
them for car fare, school supplies and
incidental expenses, and they should
be required to keep a neat account of
all that they spend. Children should
be allowed to earn extra pocket money
by making themselves useful around
the house, doing errands for their
mother, raking the lawn, picking ber-
ries, busting, etc. 1t encourages their
spirit of independence and shows them
that money does not come as easily as
it goes.
Initiate children early In life Into the
problems Of practical everyday arith-
metic. Let them learn by their own ex-
perience that penny spent is penny
gone, and you will save them many
mistakes and unhappiness In the fu-
ture.

PRETTY WINDOWS.

They Lend an Air OF DistinctioA
Even to the PIaInest Houses.
Much more attention Is being paid
to the windows, and architects are
racking their brains to find new and
attractive designs for them. Tudor
windows have been revived with great
success, and more than one unattract-
i've house has been rendered saiable
by the addition Of one Of these many
paned easements. Sometimes each tiny
pane is ornamented With figure or the
coat Of arms of the family.
But 1t is principally in the dining
room that the window is in evidence.
The latest novelty consists in having
q bay window which is inclosed by a
slight latticework. This little recess
serves as a breakfast room or after
noon tea coy corner. In fair weather
the French windows caa be epeaed
wide, letting in the coel breezee saa
sunshine and giving the effect of being
out Of doors. Sometimes this little nook
Is furnished in a different color from

how to Keep the House Cool

"ManY things can be done to make even
the small house a comfortable, resttul
place in hot weather." writes Maria
PGrloa, in The Ladies' Homs Journal for
August. "Of course the windows must be
properly shaded with blinds or awnings,
and also well screened. All the heavy
shsngings should be removed, and when
possible the carpets should be taken up or
covered with linen. Cool colors, sucn as
white, gray light green's and blues, should
take the place of the warmer colors. INN
white muslin curtains soften the hgn''
The house should be well aired anu
surnsd at least once a day. The early
morning ia best for this. Open all the
windows and blinds and let the sun and
air pour through the house, ABOUT niue
o,elook close all the blinds and all thu
windows except one or two downstairs
and two or three upstairs. In the open
windows place wet grass screens, or cover
the regular screens with wet flannel.
When the sun goes down open all the
windows and blinds. A skylight or wIu-
dew ahouId be kept open night and day In
the attic, except, Of course, when 1t rains.
The cellar windows should be open only
at night. II they are not closed during the
heat of the day the arm, molsture-iaden
air Tenters the cellar ami ccndenses on
walls. pipes, metals, etc, and in few days
will make it 20 damp as TO be an INSULT

TIE E.sLUE OF MONEY.
Teach fS So Your Child and Spare

Teach FS 50 Your Child and Spare
Her Future Unhappiness.
Why are so many homes unhappy?
Why are so many marriages failures?
Largely because of the money question.
The wife cannot learn to divide her al
lowance so that each portion of the
household shall receive its due She
either scrimps on clothes and wastes
on provisions or the larder suffers, and
she is arrayed in the latest dress novel
ties. Bills come pouring in-bills which
can be met only with difficulty and are
out of all proportion to the husbands
income. Then follow unpleasant ex-
plantations and reproaches, which pave
the way for quarrels. The wife keeps
no accounts, and half the time she runs
bills at the stores instead of paying
cash. The result is that she spends
twice as much as she would otherwise
and does not weigh properly the value
of each purchase.
Now, whose fault Is this? The
wife's? Indirectly, yes; but directly it
is that of her parents.

fever, during which he has been kept

dryadS some of them look like in
these days. The mass of dropping
lace and flowers makes a face so
poetic and so enhancing that it is
really hard to believe some of the mil
Hnery is made by human hands. Just
cast glance at the poetic dream in the
Illustration and see what dainty thing
can be evolved out of flowers made Of
scraps Of cloth with liberal allowance
Of glue and things. The hat is Of rough
straw, and it is fairly smothered in
lace and chiffon rufies, with pink roses
and their foliage put all around. The
flowers are the pretty prairie roses
with their ever changing shades. In
one bunch one may find a round dozen
shades, from palest pink to deep Grim
son. The foliage is smooth and also
shaded according to the age of the
branch. The prairie rose has no per-
fume, but it lends itself admirably to
reproduction for millinery purposes.
The boa is made Of chiffon, the part
around the neck covered with picayune
roses, also in pink. The long ends have
ruffles, and these have a few small
roses set along the edge. The whole
effect Is exquisite, and the girl who
wears such a creation can well be de-
scribed as queen rose in the rosebud
garden of girls. Who cares how much
such hat and boa cost when the re-
suit is before us so perfect and so
adorable?
Now, there are faces which show
best under the hat just mentioned, but
there are others which look arch and
provoking under the saucy tricorne
tOque. A petty one which l saw re-
Gently was of pale blue fancy straw,
with the left side laced up with black
velvet ribbon, ending In a few loops.
The crown held a big bunch of deep
blue plums with their foliage. Some Of
the branches fell over the brim in front
so as to hang temptingly at the left
side. For brunette, who wore 1t, this
was an ideal hat, though l do not adj
vocate fruit as a general rule as a
trimming for hats.
All these hats are for the proper sub
5ugation of helpless mankind when all
other Establishments fail-blandish-
ments in the shape of sailor, golfng
and bicycling hats and other mannish
cOntrivances. The tulle and chiffon
