IT'S ELBOWS on THE Table.
A Habit OF American Women Attributed
to .JewelIed Bracelet Pendants.

A Habit OF American women Attributed
to Jewelled Bracelet Pendants.
II the social curriculum still includes such
instructions as Don't put your elbows on
the table" and when walking and standing
keep the elbows close to the side" few
persons outside of the nursery think OF pay
ing any attention TO them. An English
woman st topping in New York drew attention
to this interesting circumstance the other
day,
Il have been very much surprised" said
she, at the way American women sit with
their elbows on the table on all occasions.
Everywhere they do tin private houses
and In restaurants, at the most formal
breakfasts, luncheons, dinners, suppers
When one hand is in use they lean on the
other elbow, and whenever they get a
chance, as bet ween courses, both elbows are
proppsd on the table and the hands clasped
under the ohm.
"The other day I went past one Of the
Fifth avenue restaurants At the dinner
hour, and at nearly every one OF the window
tables was woman leaning on her elbows.
Why, even In some Of the smartest photo
graphs have seen Of late women are posed
with Cl asped hands. leaning their elbows
on a table in front of them. And yet proba-
bly those very women were brought UP
never TO put their elbows on the table"
The American to whom the English woman
was speaking admitted, with laugh, that
everything she said was true
Il find myself doing the same thing
the American confessed, especially since
I came into the possession OF Il diamond
pendant bracelet.
"The growth Of the habit, think, dates
from the time that the very slender chain
bracelet, wound sometimes twice around
the arm and finished with a jewelled pen
dant, came into fashion. As a rule the
weight of the pendant swings il toward
the under part Of the wrist: therefore ii IL
seen to better advantage when the arm is
raised.
Many of these ornaments are superb
and possibly the owners think it would
be an awful pity not to show them at their
best. l had no idea, though, that the habit
had become so general that stranger
would notice it."
General" echoed the English woman,
why, 1t seems to me an exception TO find
a New York woman who can get through
a meal without planting her elbows on the
table. just look for yourself"

Improvement upon the old-time flannel or
serge. In certain particulars they give
added comfort, too.
Flannel soaks up the water and becomes
disagreeably heavy, in addition TO clinging
annoyingly. On the other hand, flannel
will ward Off chill more effectually than
mohair or silk, and any one susceptible to
cold after leaving the water will find 1t the
part OF wisdom to choose a flannel bathing
suit.
The smart bathing suit is, unquestionably,
one Of mohair or silk, and while certain
silks have body enough to shed water and
keep their shape, mohair, on the whole, is
The ideal fabric for the purpose This
ssason it may be bought in quality far
surprising any heretofore offered, and
The best mohair Is none too good for the
bathing suit. IT IL soft, flexible, ex-
quisite In finish, and yet it sheds the water
and, while hanging gracefully, refuses to
cling tightly to the figure.
In ready-made bathing suits, coarser
qualities Of mohair are generally used,
for the average buyer is unwilling to pay a
fancy price, and oddly enough, a bathing
suit ~ one OK the economies Of even fastidi-
GUS women. Nine out OF ten women buy
ready-made bathing suits to avoid the bother
OF having them made to order and will
put up with innumerable faults OF detail
rather than spend time or money upon the
problem.
As a matter. OF act, the ready-made suit
is usually more chic and attractive than the
homemade suit, because more ingenuity
is expended upon the collar and shield
trimming, but this need not be the case,
and there Ia more difference than one would
imagine between the effect Of well-fitting
bathing suit and an Dl-fitting one. More-
over, in the made -to-order suit, small
points making the garment more becoming
TO the individual may be considered.

to the salt water bathing customs Of the
count ries they had visited.

his native land took their dip apart from

resembling nightgowns.
A Frenchman described the bare-legged
frolics Of the gay Partisan women sum-
mering by the sea
An American explained how the sexes,
absolutely unclothed, enter the waters OF
Japan, with nothing but bamboo rods To
mark the more or less imaginary line di-
yiding the men from the women.
"Ah," interposed the Engishman, "how
immodest!"
"Yes, perhaps" observed a Christianizcd
