young men and enjoying the most dainty of luncheons, perchance you glance up and see the waves made by a sudden squall dash against the side of the boat. You forget what the charming young man is saying, as you remember that you cannot swim a stroke Perhaps, too, the young man beside you forgets to save you if he feels the chill and the shock of a sudden plunge. Men are sometimes very thoughtless.
 Another reason for learning to swim reason which may be frivolous but nevertheless potent--is that a pretty girl is actually more captivating in fetching
 swimming suit than in the most ravishing of ball toilettes. There Is something in- toxicatingly fascinating about a pretty

Beauty, the mother of love, according to one of the myths of the ancients, Is the daughter of the waves. and of light, air and sunshine.
 The relationship Is acknowledged to this day; the fairest forms grow fairer still in loving embrace of the limpid ele- ments and only that woman is truly strong, graceful and beautiful who knows how to swim. As a developer of round ed curves, swimming is better than any athletic exercise known, even in these athletic days.
 Then, too, a knowledge of the art may save woman from a final resting place on a coral reef, when she happens to make an aquarelle of herself by upsetting her punt. It is the craze for rowing and yachting which has forced the issue and helped to make swimming the fash lon.
 Every woman who has indulged in the uncertain joys of yachting, with a rough sea on, knows that the most desirable possession, next to an easy conscience, is an ability to swim.
 Canoeing, too, has become a favorite summer sport, and every young woman who goes out in a canoe is sure to feel some day the importance of knowing how to swim, or at least how to tread water, her pleasure being half spoiled when she wonders what in the world she would do if she would be unceremoniously thrown into the 1impid deep.

rather than a deep one.
 Having reached the water with more or less ease and grace-that is, by diving the next thing is to know how to move gracefully in theswater. With the proper sort of training. woman may be as agile and willowy while swimming as she is on the ballroom floor.
 Don't swim with the arms only if you want to be a vision of loveliness. The majority of girls think they can swim with their arms. If they dosuse their legs it is apt to be by throwing them up out of the water, which does not propel them along much, and sends them pitch ing over on their heads.
 After coming out of the water don't pose around on the beach in Delsarte atti- tudes, or throw yourself down under a red silk umbrella with a novel, unless you want to have chill and destroy all the good effects of the dip. Go through a. few anthletics. Exercise the arms first to make them rounded and curved, with firm flesh, or take up a ball and toss it back and forth with a com panion.
 A mere man. will tell you that girl cannot throw a ball. Perhaps she cannot throw one according to scientific rules, but if she will throw it anyway, anyhow, 1t cannot help but strengthen and de- velop muscle, at the same time keeping her in a healthy glow
 Or perhaps you have your golf stick with you at the beach, or a hockey stick. A few moments spent in play will be cap ital exercise.
 Young women who value their comfort in the water go bare-necked and slim armed. Those who value their complex ions more cover their arms with long sleeves and have a duenna upon the beach to hold the wrap. which Is instantly put on. The water does not injure the skin but how soon the sun burns it after the water lies glistening upon 1t! It is like hanging delicate fabric out after 1t has had dip in the water. Its color changes instantly. a.ss'' fs@e
 But don't be afraid of sunburn, because you can take it off in no time. Make a | wash of two tablespoonfuls of lemor juice and twice the quantity of glycerint and add it to half pint of elder-fiower water.

 ago, a beautiful girl tripped down the beach in a perfect fitting bathing costume

 and showed her pretty arms; 1t was open at the neck and revealed a full, white throat. Everybody said, What a beau- ty! What a picture"
 She plunged into the surf and presently came forth upon the sands. Everybody
 gasped, for the f1imsy cashmere clung and
 wrapped about her form and made her seem ill-shapen.
 Now, do you want a clinging, white
 cashmere bathing suit?

 Jennie June-A lotion to remove tan and sunburn is made in the following way: Slice in small pieces OF. of horseradish and pour over its1 pint of boiling water. Let it stand for 1 hour. When cold, strain and add drams of good cologne or bay rum. Keep bottled. and when wanted pour little into dish. add one- third the quantity of milk and apply to the face with linen pad.
 Charlottesville right way to brush the hair is to grasp the brush firmly with the right and the hair loosely with the left hand, and brush with slow. gliding motion. every strand being brushed up. down, right, left. in semt-circles from the forehead to the centre of the head. The diet has much to do with the condi- tion of the hair. Vegetables and cereals are hair tonics. Too much meat and milk cause atrophy of the roots. Of course, the hair comes out as result of this condition.

Varying Expression Of Opinion From

London. Dec. 9.--While President
Roosevelt's message to congress is
acknowledged to be of universal inter-
est to the outside world, it evokes no
striking comment from the London
press. Both sides in the fiscal controv-
ersy seize points In 1t which they con-
tend favor their particular claims. Per-
haps the part attracting the most SER
ious attention. is the presidents refer
ence to the necessity of creating great
mercantile marine.
The Standard refers to the entry of
the United States upon career of
colonial domain as "entailing heavy
national expenditure. SO that hence
forth the problem for the government
will likely be not how to get rid of
it's surpluses. but how to maintain its
fiscal equilibrium"
