There will be quite as many bathing
suits seen this summer made Of delicate
shades of mohair as those in black The
shops are showing pale pink, faint blue
and delicate yellow mohair suits, trimmed
with white silk braid. One OF the pref
tiest designs has the braid SO arranged
on the waist that it Stimulates little

Many of the bathing suits this year,
whether they are made of satin, taffeta,
mohair or flannel, are" made with a num-
Der Of different collars and belts. A soft.
French gray mohair bathing suit, made ef-
fective and new by showing a black
stripe, had originally a deep collar simu-
1ating a yoke In shape, made of fine white
linen with tiny embroidered edge in
bright scarlet. There was a belt
to match the collar. his collar
was adjustable, and by changing it the
effect of the suit could be prettily varied
The girl who will wear this bathing cos
tune this summer will have at least half
dozen different collars and belts to wear
with it. She may have one Of bright scar
let taffeta, piped with black satin; another
of white linen, embroidered in yellow
French knots, and others of linen and
coarse lace. These collars should not only
vary as to the materials but shape. They
may be cut to stimulate a deep bertha,
q broad, square sailor collar or shaped
to look like pointed bib. =: go
It is quite the fad with, the bathing
girl this summer to have her cap or hat
match the trimming of her suit. For ex-
ample, If she IS wearing a costume ct
black mohair, trimmed with bow knots,
traced in white braid; she will have her
oil silk lined cap in black stamped with
a design Of white: bow knots.
: Another pretty idea, especially for one
wearing a dark suit, is to have touch
OF. the same> color reflected in the belt,
collar, cap and the lacings Of the shoes
A fetching effect is obtained in a black
mo4air suit by having the belt and col

brilliant red French knots. and having the
high, black canvas shoes laced with red
silk shoe laces and the cap or handler
chief in black, scattered with the red en-
broidered dots.

When flowers are things of everyday
observation, it seems strange that there
are people actually hungering for the
sight Of one, no matter how withered it
may be or how broken, yearning for a
suggestion of the fragrance, even tho it
be almost too faint for recognition. It
is peculiar, too, altho we'll known fact,
that these little blossoms have a most po-
tent influence over the human heart, one
not to be lightly despised. In spite of
these truths, a deplorable condition ex-
lists in Minneapolis An almost pitiful
crowded districts to cultivate flowers in
the roof garden, but the smoke chokes
them and the sun does not soften it's
rays even when they fall on the upturned
flower faces; so their growth is not pro-
digious, neither is it productive of many
blossoms.
No one knows as we'll as those whose
lives are spent among the poor and whose
constant effort is to raise and enlighten
them, just how valuable a few flowers
are in gaining admittance to homes which
would otherwise remain shut against
Them and in putting little purity into
utterly sordid lives
When flowers were taken to an old
couple who live in a basement and who
are both rapidly nearing the grave, their
gratitude was beautifully expressed by
the old woman who bent over the poor
blossoms and clasped them to her bosom.
When flowers mean SO much, why is there
no more thoro method of distribution?
The hospitals are fairly we'll supplied,
principally by the florists and often those
used as decoration at weddings and re-
ceptions are afterward sent there. Even

she has her bathing skirt made with the

under these circumstances none have been
sent to the city hospital for several weeks.
The city mission could make use of many,
likewise many Of the philanthropic organ
iZations of the city, altho they could not
promise a thoro canvass and impartial
distribution. Still the flowers would reach
the hearts and tell their sweet little story.
Among others the Y. w. C. A. is always
glad to receive such contributions, and
grateful to the donors. There are two
organizations which partially supply this
need. They are the Sunshine club and the
Young Matrons' club, altho the Iatter's
work lies more in the line Of delicacies
for the poor and sick.
From the City Mission, the st. James
hotel, many meals are sent out to desti-
tute families or to those who are i'll but
this expense is met entirely by the profits
of the hotel and is in no way dependent
upon the gifts Of outsiders. Any additions
to the nurses closet in the shape of jel-
lies or such delicacies would be warmly
welcomed and would doubtless be placed
where they would be appreciated.
There are other organizations as we'll
supporting nurses who go from house to
house attending to the material wants of
sufferers. These organizations would at
least be able to name places where these
delicacies and flowers would be most ap-
preciated. When these facts are con-
fronted it is easily seen that no one ought
to have more flowers than he knows
what to do with Send them to some of
the hospitals, to the Y. w. G.. A., to the
city mission or some similar organization

ings who are without their bright faces
and refining influences and enjoy the
pleasures of giving joy to others.

Contrast the bathing girl Of to-day with
the recollections Of what her grand
mother, or even her mother used to look
like when she took a sea bath.
F.; The bathing girl of to-day,Eis such a
sprightly, daintily attired, flesh and blood
sea nymph that she is an inspiration to
all who behold her.
Years ago the woman who went in
bathing made a caricature of herself by
the way she dressed. Her suit was in
Variably dark blue flannel, with an en-
barrassing tendency to shrink 1t was
made with long sleeves and long drawer
legs. 1t was seldom she wore stockings
ana her head covering was apt to be a.
big coarse yellow straw hat, which she
tied under her chin with piece of tape
To-day the modern girl selects her bath
ing costume with as much care as her
ball gown. She considers the lines of her
figure and every little accessory which
would tend to improve the effect of her
bathing suit. The result Is, she is pic
ture worth looking at, as she Tolls on the
beach or jumps the big breakers.

The perpetuation of an interest In row.
ing seems to have passed from the men to
the women, on the evidence of the Row
ing club of the Young Woraen's Christian
association. This enthusiastic outing or
ganization began it's season IN May ana It's
membership has passed 100. The attend
ance has exceeded 75 each Of the practice
evenings and with its record of 1O4 In
the boats one evening In June, 1t is quite
safe In challenging con, parisons with any
boat club the city ever had.
This club Is the most successful outing
organiza ton of the association, as 1T has
grown steadily in numbers and interest
each season since it's organization six or
seven years ago. This has been due large
ly to the fidelity and the enthusiasm of
the captain, Mrs. Walrath, and the coach,
Miss Mary Cook, who have been with the
club thru its whole history. 1t requires
no little generalship to handle 100 girls,
nearly all Of whom wholly inexperia
enced at the beginning Of the season, for
not many of the members continue in
the club longer than two years. The
financial affairs are managed by the pur
SER Miss Jennie Beckwith, and she Is
very busy woman at times on Wednesday
evenings.
The club works only an hour a week
and it is highly important to get the girls
into the boats promptly and get them out
the coach Is to have two oarswomen of
some experience In each boat and two be-
ginners, but, as the club Is intended for
I pleasure as we'll as exercise and instruc-
ton, groups Of friends are not separated.
If the girls arrange boat crews among
themselves they get off promptly and the
work left to the lieutenants is of sorting
out crews from the unattended girls. The
lieutenants are Misses Mabel Jamison. Es-
Their Erickson, Bessie Bailey, Josephine
Workman and Tille Kostrnan.
The boat crews number four, but often
a visitor accompanies the crew. It is
planned that two shall row out to what
ever rendezvous Is chosen and the other
two shall row back. The lieutenants give
each crew instructions for the row as
they take the boats. Usually during the
hour all OF the boats gather together
either out In thte lake or draw up to
some point on the shore, where Miss Cook
gives some general directions about the
rowing or the members have a little sing
ing. The club now rows on Lake Har-

riet, altho formerly it has worked on both
Calhoun and on Cedar lake.
A few of the more expert girls give some
assistance to Miss Cook, but this year the
number of really competent oarswomen in
the club is small, SO there Is little Of indi-.
vidual. instruction The first night a print
ed slip containing the outline Of the in
struction was given to each member and
this was explained by Miss Cook and illus.
trated The terms stern aft, port
''starboard," ETC.. were defined, and these
are used in the captains commands. For
the catch the rowers are taught to dip the
blade at right angles to the water and to
have the blade just covered; In recovering,
the blade is to be two inches above the
water. Instructions and terms for start
ing. stopping, turning, backing water and
turning completely around In as few
strokes as possible are given.
Several years ago the club had coaches
from the old Lurline Rowing Club, Plat
Walker, Jr., and w. P. Christian, and
from them the club learned the famous
Yara-Yar stroke introduced In this part
of the country by Andy O'Dea, the Wis
consin boat crew coach. Miss Cook uses
this stroke in rowing and teaches 1t SO far
as practical to her pupils. With but little
individual instruction, it Is impossible to
give so large a club the finer points, but
the instruction is sound and scientific so
far as it goes, and develops capable rowers
whose knowledge Is sufficient for all prac-
teal purposes, and that is all that the
members care for, with a very few excep-
tons. They want to know how to row
we'll enough to get about by themselves
easily and with assurance, and nearly all
of the rowing club girls acquire that much
skill in a single season.
The fleet Of twenty or more row boats,
each equipped with a white pennant hav-
ing on it sin dark blue letters "Y. w. G.
A." is a very pretty sight as they glide
out easily from the dock or converge to-
wards it from all parts Of the lake. A
few Of the girls wear white blouses with
the letters in monogram form embroid-
cred on the breast, while the rest wear
ribbon badges, appropriately lettered.
AS every effort is made to get all Of the
girls at the dock promptly at 1880 and as
all are in a hurry to get back when the
row Is over, the club crowds the cars in
coming and going, so arrangements have
been made for a chartered car each club
night. This will add greatly to the pleas
ure and comfort of the members.

A PERPLEXING PROBLEM
How Far May Girl Show Her Regard for
a6ashfuI Lover, Without Losing Her
Dignity and Self. Respect7 ~

A bashful lover is anSexceedingly diff
fcult person for the average girlz<to deal
with, says the New York American In
the majority. Of cases she is puzzled to
know how to shape her conduct toward a
man she admires, and who she knows is
deeply In love, with, herself, but whose
bashfulness prevents him declaring his
affection. To openly show that she is
aware of his secret, and would willingly
say Yes" to IA certain little question:,
If he would but: ask it, is, of course, In
consistent with her womanly dignity and
modesty. Moreover, such a course would
probably lower: her in the estimation of
her adnirer. 7r....t-$ $50.
It is aAmans sole privilege that he may
choose, while a woman must wait to be
chosen, and therefore a. girl must guard
against showing her preference for any
man who has not acknowledged himself as
her lover .-e.~. =: -
At the same time, to assume a cold or
Indifferent attitude toward a bashful lover
would. in all probability, have the effect
of driving him away. Some men are so
sensitive that it takes little GOODNESS of
manner. to-, scare them off, and many a
girl who has studiously avoided a bashful
admirer for fear of betraying the. state of
her own feelings has lost him to her own
regret.
But it is possible to encourage a bashful
lover without seeming irnmodest. In fact,
there many little ways in which girl,
without sacrificing her dignity or self -re-
spect, may indicate to ar 'admirer that he
is more than a, friend to her.
In the, first place, it is not wrong, as
many girls seem to- imagine. to give proper
encouragement to the man whose love you
possess, and whom you admire above all
others. It is somewhat foolish for girl
to deliberately avoid an admirer and make
a pretence Of being Indifferent to his at
tentions, and afterwards feel indignant be-
cause he is not bold enough to declare his
love and Affection. Indifference only
throws cold water on a mans affections.
Try to strike the happy medium be-
tween being too cold and too demon
strative. The girl who wishes to en-
courage a bashful lover should be her own
bright, natural self She should talk to
him as she would to any dear friend or,
better still, encourage him to talk to her
self by exhibiting an interest in anything
| and everything which interests him.
A girl appeals to a man the most when
she proves herself a ready and sympa-
thetic listener. She wins his confidence
at once, and as time goes by and he sees
that she Is by no means aXerse Ito his
talk and society, he will be encouraged tt
declare that which bashfulness prevented
him from confessing. - ~
!. Accept his little gifts and attentions
with sincere show OF pleasure, wear his
| flowers and don his favorite color Of dress
or ribbon. All these are signs enough oil
encoura cement to the timid lover that he
| lis agreeable to you.
q To the tactful girl the task OF assist
Ing bashful lover in his wooing of her.
