pain suit this year." 1t is hardly
worth recording that he grunted and
replied TO the effect that she'd better
have it then. What color do YOU
think would be nice?" asked Mrs. NJ.
Again he grunted and advised her to
have anything she liked. Il was
thinking of white" she said. and when
he laid down his paper she added:
mere Is new material, q kind of
saeklng with very coarse mesh. It's
real pretty and lets the water right
through without clnging at all. A
bath suit that clings is so uncomfort-
able. Heavy awning cloth is nice, too.
That comes real pretty little red
stripe on white. Would you like that"
His voice was awe-struck as he re-
turned: What on earth do you want
for?"
Il want TO get into IL on earth to go
into the waterl" Somehow the idea of
a new bath suit made her feel gay and
clever.
Yes" said he. scornfully zone with
big meshes that let's the water through,
but not big enough to let YOU through.
My dear Marian, this is all nonsense!
Why have bath suit at all?"
She hates him when he calls her
Marian, and she answered with ener-
gy: 'I would have a bath suit because
1t would be indecent to battle without
one"
We'll, why bathe?"
"Georgel"
There is the tub"
Il am not talking about the tub;
am talking about the seashore."
mo, you are talking of white bath
suits with big meshes. Are you losing
your mind Marian"

bath sult?"
For person like you. something
suitable, modest and useful
My dear George, you first saw me in
a white silk bath suit with lace on the
edge and rhinestone buttons"
'One reason l married you was to ex-
ercise some control over your ward
robe, and 1 shall not have my wife APP
pear in"
Didn't I look well?"
That has nothing to do with the
matter-now"
His emphasis on the now" was
blood curdling, but she was not warn
ed and began:
DO you mean to say that l.
you weighed 1876 then and were FIVE
years younger than you are now"
That was too much! George Mont
rose said she, I shall have a white
bath suit, the biggest mesh l can find,
and-and-I shall not go in bathing
without it. There!"
And George does not know whether
she will or not. but abundant precedent
makes him uneasy.
Something to Forgive
You say: such ardent friendship is
mistaken; IL you knew"
There! Close your lips and listen:
When the sky is clear and blue,
When sun and birds and dewdrops
make the big world glad and
bright,
Would all be half so precious had there
been no clouds or night?
Would flowers seem so beautiful If sent
from heaven above
Does not their earthly origin add SYM
I&thy to love?
So friendships must be human If on
earth they'd thrive and live
For what does friendship feed on when
there's nothing to forgive?
How could my heart be gentle to'ard
a heart that knew no pain?
Could friendship go on living if its
proffered help were vain?
Could L, were l not certain you were
only human, feel
The tender, sweet compass sion that my
words to you reveal?
o, say not, IF you only knew" the
Father knows I know;
He left his blessed impress on each
human soul; and so
My loved one must be human while
upon this earth / live
For earthly love grows stronger when
there's something to forgive.

Cecil Rhodes was once showing some
visitors over the splendid grounds Of
Groote Shuur, his residence in Cape
Town. The party approached sum-
mer-house which had been erected ear
ly in the last century by one of the
Dutch Governors of the colony.
Hush" said Mr.. Rhodes, in whis-
per, "hushl" and, motioning his COM
panions back, he advanced on tiptoe.
listened, and then called out: "All
right; you can come. The coast is
clear"
He then explained that he had lis
covered this summer-house to be "a
vorite resort for loving couples, and
that he always shrank from disturbing
them.
II like" he said, ito think that they
can escape from the ugly. noisy back
streets of Cape Town and find here q
fitting spot for telling the old, old
story"
81 am glad I am poor enough to take
care of my own body, at all events,
exclaimed a young woman energetical-

Tribune. The way these smart girls
deliver themselves up nowadays to spe-
cialists Just to keep themselves clean
and we'll eroomed is extraordinary.
They all do It. OF course, the cost Of

that II is the hallmark OF high fashion,

she replied; its only to have them
