The Modern Fable of the Single Handed Fight for Personal
 Liberty.

A Traveller landed in a Blue law Town one Sunday Morning and found 1t as dead as a Mack erel. There were only two Horses hitched at the Square and in every Window the Curtains were down.
 Why and wherefore this funeral Hush ?" he inquired of the Hotel Clerk.
 '"rhe Sunday-Closers have been at work" replied the Clerk. You can't get Nip today for Love or Money"
 T can't, cant I?" demanded the Traveller, indignantly. Do the Enemies of Personal Liberty think that they can deprive me of my

There were medium-sized pearl disks for
fastenings, and the sleeves were brought in
very small at the hand, at which point they
were slashed and supplied with smaller but

white fabric. The sleeves were shaped diff

Summer Bath Robes of Beauty.
Did you every try to buy cool summer
bath robe for yourself? If you have the
fact has been made known to you that it is
quite impossible to get one ready made.
The styles offered-for, of course, there are
some Of these garments designed for
women-are either of terry or a thin fabric
equally useless. In warm weather one
does not want to bundle up in clumsy af-
fairs; neither does one desire to slip on a
robe that hasn't sufficient body to make
it suitable for its purpose.
The same firm that is exploiting the new
pajamas is making a speciality of summer
bath robes designed expressly for the fair
sex, and 1t goes without saying that the
garments combine both utility and beauty.
fascinating robe of a curious white ma
terial showed a rather broad stripe, made
up of cluster of small lavender lines.
1t was very simply patterned, with a
medlum-slZed collar and wide vatican plat
in the back. This fulness was caught into
the waist by means of strap sewn inside,
While the plaits, -affOrding a becoming loose
ness in front, were permitted to fall uncon-
fined. There wasn't the least bit of trim
ming on this bath robe, not even on the
soft belt, which was rather narrow and
was intended to be simply tied.
For bath purposes In warm weather one
desires chiefly a garment that possesses
both practical qualities and a semblance Of
daintiness. This new affair seems to an
swer all requirements admirably, and the
fabrics in which it may be had are attrac-
tive enough to suit the most fastidious.
The robe seems to fill long-felt want,
and the wonder is that manufacturers have
not thought of this necessity long before.

A cold bath is an excellent invigorator and
nerve bracer but is unsuited to the feminine
constitution, and neither cleanses the skin

woman, except by permission of her physi-

Sea bathing is an unrivaled tonic for the
general system, and, by increasing the &C.
tlvity of the circulation, improves the color,
but eventually will coarsen the skin. This is
verified by the fact that those who live near
the sea may possess excellent color, but
rarely have fine or transparent skins.

furnishings for men, and also includes femi-
nine neckwear in its list of novelties, has
conceived the idea of designing pajamas for
women. Sc thoroughly convinced are the
designers of the successful future of this
new style of garment for the fair sex that
they have gone to considerable trouble to
originate attractive coats and trousers, that
are as dainty as it is possible to have them
and retain the semblance to the Oriental
style.
The curious little Chinese loops and cords
that have always been a characteristic of
mems pajamas are, in the latest models, dis
pensed with entirely, and in their place are
used large fiat pearl buttons. Not even the
soft neck finish in the form of an ordinary
collar has been deemed desirable on the new
apparel.

sides of the coat. There are no Sits. and

Whether or not men are to be blamed for
suggesting the idea is difficult point TO
settle, but the fact has suddenly come to
light that bifurcated apparel is by no means
unusual among up-to-date young women.
So far the fad is confined exclusively to
garments intended for the hours devoted
to gentle sleep, and there is no reason to
believe that the fashion will extend beyond
