necessary, in the light of the cheapness
of the suits of the day.
The bathing girl this year will dress in
two colors All her suits are built in
contrasts and are in brown and white
or blue and white, or in dark red and
cream. You will scarcely see one that IS
built of single tone, except the all black
suits.
Very frequently the sailor collar and
| sash are in one color and the suit in an
| other. A very striking suit was in black
duck, trimmed with gold washed but
tons. A beautiful and wearable suit
taffeta trimmings.
The sailor style prevails, probably be-
cause it is the most universally beeom-
ing one that is known, and it is the style
| that marks all the suits that have been
sent over from Paris as ideal bathing
costumes.
The silk suits, while very pictorial, are
not so much in the utility line. Silk,
and China silk at that, when wet, is not
comfortable thing, and it is certainly
not dressy one. To say that it hugs
the figure is to speak very kindly of it.
for, truth to tell, you cannot walk in it
at all, so eel like does it become in its
chnging properties.
The best suits are wash poplin, bril-
hantine. light serge, wash wool, flannel
and mohair. They also make a pongee
bathing suit that is warranted not to
shrink in water
Handsome suits are in navy blue fan
mel. with smooth finish. They are trim
med with bands of cream flannel and
they are worn with wide sailor collar
and sash. There is no chemisette in
them, unless the bathing girl wants it.
| Many camps now are regular log cab
| ins, especially in established hunting or
| fishing preserves like that of the fam
Can. But probably the tent, on account
of its simplicity. long will continue to
be the usual shelter of the more adven-
turous camper.
| Even so, if you can afford it, have
SEPARATE tents for sleeping and living.
| In the latter tent you then can have a
| table put up for writing or games.
| Even ping pong need not be wanting in
the wilderness, though your tent be
| pitched in the pine jungles of the Adiron-
! daeks or the Aroostook, in the woods of
the Central West or the mountains of
the Pacific slope.
| AS for your bed, there is nothing the
world over like fresh pine boughs. 1t
| is worth while watching your guide lay
| them Alright between the four logs, form
| ing sort of low box to keep the boughs
| in place.
| First of all the little depressions in
the ground will be filed up with moss
| so as to make, a perfectly even founda-
tion. Larger boughs form the first layer;
then come smaller and smaller ones un-
til the top dressing is laid over with soft
green needles. Everything about your
couch is freshly cut and redolent of bal
sam.
With every breath you draw in health.
| 1t is soothing to mind body and soul
as you lie there in your tent under your
| blanket or in your sleeping bag, and
| through the open flaps of the tent watch
| the smouldering logs of the camp fire.
| Soon delicious drowsiness sets in. No
need to WOO sleep by counting in imag-
| ination how many sheep are jumping
over fence. Sleep creeps over you.
Before you know it you are in the land
of dreams. Aye, pine bough bed and
you sleep like a king if you are man,
and like queen if you are woman.
When visiting in the home of an Eng
| lish woman / had for tea some of the
most delicious tea-cakes / have ever
tasted. She called them English currant
| cakes, says "Woman's Home Compan-
ion." The receipt is as follows:-Three
cupfuls of -four, a pinch of salt, two
| heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
one half cupful of beef-dripping, one half
| cupful of butter, one and one-half cup
| fuls of currants, two tablespoonfuls of
| finely chopped candied orange peel, and
milk enough to make a soft dough. Mix
all dry ingredients together; soften but

add milk enough to make soft dough, and
roll out on Toured board till about one
half inch thick cut in rounds the size of
a tea plate, put in a creased tin, and
bake till light brown. When done cut in
two, and spread thickly with butter.
Serve hot. These cakes will keep good,
and can be warmed in the oven when
wanted.
| Shoes have changed tremendously this
| year as regards style. The heels are so
much higher, there is so much more
curve under the instep, and the toes are
so much more pointed The low heels
and broad seles on the common-sense
| plan will never go out Of style for people
! who want to walk and who are more or
/ less conservative. There is always the
danger that this style of footwear will
| become too pronounced and eccentric, but
there is a happy medium to be found;
the fat, broad sole has been rather over
| done for the last few years. Almost all
/ American women have high insteps, and
the perfectly fat last is not comfortable.
