the girl who expects to spend her sum-
mer at some popular resort turns her
thoughts to bathing suits, which, like
everything to be worn, this year will
be unusually stylish and pretty.
The popular materials for bathing
suits, this year, will be wash taffeta,
lustrine and mohair, while the colors
most in evidence will be white, black
and navy blue. The very newest fab
ric from which bathing suits will be
fashioned is viella fannels, which will
also be used for shirt waists and is a
handsome unshrinkaDle material.
AS usual there is a great variety of
styles and the low neck and short
sleeve. fad is particularly noticeable
in the bathing suits. Box and kilt
pleated skirts are the proper modes
which are often further embellished
with straps stitched and laid on in
many pretty and odd designs. Bathing
suit skirts will this year come just to
the knee.
Waists are made with the long ef-
/ feet, the waist line being accentuated
as much as possible, and the broad
shoulder effect is a la mode. A collar
coming to the base of the neck anG
the low cut V shaped finish are equal
ly popular. The girl with beautifully
moulded arms will very likely have
her bathing suit made without a YES
tige of sleeves, while she whose arms are
less lovely will wear sleeves to the
elbow.

One Of the most truly rural, and
quietly pretty spots in Akron IL found
on Fountain ST., just south of Car
roll. There the old apple trees bend
their boughs. There the grass grows
tall and ovcrhangs the unpayed paths
in spots, suggesting the old-time Gus
tom Of Young America in the coun.
try and villages, of tying the luxur-
liant growth across the walk to trip
some careless passerby. TO right and
left and fore and rear one obtains a
view of scarcely anything which
breathes of the bustlng, busy city Of

tiny part. A brindle COW knee deep

representation of just such scenes as
villagers know so well and many city
people long for.

Here Tuesda

The calliope will tell the late riser
next Tuesday morning that there are
unusual doings on the down town
streets. The Ringing Bros circus pa
rade will leave the show grounds
about 10 o'clock. The kinglings have
always afforded fine display of this
kind, and Tuesday next greater and
better things may be reasonably
looked for To begin with, the num-
Der of people employed by this firm
insure martial display of unusual
size. A memorable feature of the
street spectacle given by the Ringlings
when last in Akron was the number
of open animal dens. The animal col
lection of this show is claimed to be
the most valuable in the country
Then there are the modishly attired
equestrians, riding nervously strung
and housekeeping horses, conceited
ponies with curled bangs and berib-
bOned names, gaily dressed courtiers,
fun-making clowns, thirty patient
plodding elephants, meekly following
camels, a child's menagerie, tableau

Major II. II. Hathaway, formerly
of Chicago. and now Chief Supervisor
of Rural Free Delivery, was ut San

evacua ton, leaving only small con-
tingent of United States troops in the
city, writes Hal Landon, the Wash

Dealer.

Hathaway, as he discussed his expert

was the Eighth Ohio. All the other
regiments, as they marched to the
wharf to board the transports, slouch-

took the back streets at that-as II
they were ashamed. The Eighth Ohio,
on the contrary, proudly paraded
through the principal thoroughfares

tions are right,and by turning around
and looking away to the east, the roll

One of the genuinely beautiful spots
in Akron is Just off the western en-,
trance to the Court House. The gen
uineness of the beauty must be ap-
parent to all who observe it, under
the present circumstances. 1t matters
not that the southern part of the
court yard is torn up and Uttered
with building material for the new
Jail; the clump of maple trees and the
refreshing green of the sward under
! them give a soothing effect to the
| attorneys, and others who daily trek
up the hill Ito see what's going or
among the courts and the officials
| And this spot also remains beautiful
| in spite of the grayish gloom and coun
| trified exterior of the Temple of Jus
tice. As if waiting for something bet
ter to ornament, the little landscape
unaided by cultivation, clings to its
natural charms. 1t would not be say
| ing too much to remark that this spo
| binds to the hustle and hustle ant
growth of the city some of the old
| time simplicity of pastoral scenes
Have you never noticed farmers sit
| ting under the shade of those trees
eating their noon lunch, same as in tn,
old days, when called, perhaps, t.
make an annual trip to the Cour
House, to attend to matters that re
quired their personal attention? Un
der these trees they can sit and talk
and are undisturbed.
! To say the least, the beauty of thi
scene Is scarcely appreciated as
ought to be-but il removed, the eff
feet would be almost disastrous.

A spot not often frequented by pleas
ure-seekers, but which nevertheless
has quiet beauty most bewitching
to lovers of Nature is found at the
conjunction of Wills ave-, and Park
place. Upon an eminence slightly
uplfted from the road sets an apple
orchard where an occasional sun-ray
sifts through. making lace-work pat

of shadowy green. Here all day long
the air is made musical by the twitter
of chattering sparrows, the whistling
of orioles, the admonition, BE CHEEKY!

The West End furnishes a number
of beautiful places, but among the most
beautiful is what to the visitor in this
city might be taken for recently
opened park. 1t is the portion of lapd
that lies lust north of the terminal of
the West Market street car line and
includes the Mayfeld allotment. The
entire plat is clothed in beautiful
green. Naples, just budding into the
prime of life, line the avenues and dot
the green, breaking the monotony and
forming a pretty picture for the most
critical eye. At the northwest corner
of the land there is an elevation and
from the top of this fine view of the
surrounding country can be had. The
prettiest view of the plat can be OBJ
tanned at sunset The grass seems to
be tinted with reddish yellow and the
color combination would delight the
heart of the artist. Standing at the
north end of one of the avenues and
looking toward Market street, it ap-
pears to the observer as If the line of
NAPLES on each side of the avenue were
company of soldiers in extended or

Market street standing gallantly at
the head of each line as If they We're

In the eastern part Of the city, where
the hill on East Exchange st. divides
Akron from old Middlebury, may be
had one of the greatest views in all
this county of impressive scenery.
At the top of the aforesaid hill, q
few hundred yards south of Exchange
ST., there is spot covered with trees,
and without a house for hundreds of
feet The sightseer here may see
probably more of Akron in single
sweeping glance, than from any 9th
er part of the city. Summit Lake and
the hills beyond are visible on clear
day, and but little of the intervening
clusters of buildings is hidden; straight
away to the west may be seen all OF

THE AIRY, FAIRY
SUMMER GIRL
IS Busy With a Great Variety Of FiImy Finery
Just Now.

Just like a silver ribbon cleaning
The river rolls in naughty pride,
The willows on the bank are dream
ing,
And cringe beneath the tossing tide.
How fierce, how fast the waters flow
ing,
A spendthrift speeding to the sea,
And chatting at the strenuous rowing,
A captive fuming to be free.
The night is hot, the breeze is failing,
1t swoons upon the arid air;
The thirsty trees, their tendrils trailing,
Are gasping in their leafy lair!
A yellow moon is ghastly beaming
And surging with painting breast;
Her silver shield is wierdly cleaning
And seeking for aerial nest.
How cool the water feels; you shiver,
You stretch your body in the stream,
You grapple with the rumbling river
That soothes you like dainty dream.
Your feet are cast in pleasant places,
And you are drenched in balmy spray,
Lulled by the wooing waves embraces
That seem to wash your cares away.
'Tis sweet to breast the current flow
ing,
To struggle with the tawny tide;
In vain you stem the river glowing
1t sweeps you with resistless stride
stride;
1t laps you in the dreamy languor,
And sways you softly to the shore,
Then hurries on in sulky anger,
And then your luxury is DER.
