The up.to.pate Bathing Costume.


The bathing costume has in these
days of extravaganza achieved rare
attractiveness. 1t is no longer the I'M
slightly garment Of heavy blue flannel
with several rows Of white braid as
its only trimming, but is fashioned
from mohair that is almost as lustrous
and fine as silk, or Of fine serge and
cheviot. Even the bathing costume
of silk or satin is no longer novelty.
These silky bathing dresses with braid
trimmings or bands Of contrasting
color are very attractive, and points
in their favor are that they readily
shed the water and dry quickly.
Black or dark blue Is the choice OF
the conservative taste, but brown and
dark red are seen, and the white bath
ing costume, trimmed with either
white or color is fashionable. Bath
ing shoes and stockings, the latter
matching the color Of the costume, are
included in the outfit, and the oil silk
cap, with its covering Of bright-hued
silk, or even a cotton bandana, is not
only an attractive conceit, but thor
oughly practical one as well.-From
an article on Outing Styles in the July
Delineator.

Central America that held sugges-

United States consul and he took the
mail order department of the big store
into his confidence. He and his wife
were homesick, and they had decided
to give an "At home" on the Fourth
of July that would show the native
aristocracy and other foreign consuls
just how such things are done in the
States.
Among other things ordered were
paper napkins with United States
flags on them, paper cases in red,
white and blue for holding bonbons,
etc., plenty Of fire crackers, candles
galore, boxes Of fancy crackers. The
order ended with this Injunction:
my wife says to be sure and send
us some of the newest favors for deco
rating the table-some of the same
sort that women up north are using
this year, like candy fire crackers tied
with ribbons, ETC."

The Happy Husband.


How many times 1 have wondered
How life would seem, dear heart,
II from our modest dwelling
Stern poverty should depart;
II the cottage became a castle
Furnished with treasures rare,
And we had everything that we'd have
II were a millionaire!
Suppose, dear. a stately butler
Awaited your every sign,
And the water upon the table
Should change to sparkling wine;
Suppose that dainty pheasant
Replaced our now humble fare,
And the table with the things we'd have
If / were a millionaire.
Suppose that our stables sheltered
Full many a well-groomed steed:
That you rode in your vic In comfort
Or hunted DER field and mead;
Suppose that each day brought nothing
OF worry and trial and care:
AS we've often thought the days would
be
If l were a millionaire.
Would the logs in the hearth burn
brighter
Than those chips in our tiny grateI
Would the feeling of home be stronger
If dinner were served in state?
Would a spin in your vic be better
Than our walks In the twilight rare!
Would the love in our hearts be greater
If l were millionaire?
Would we be more to each other
If trouble were swept away?
Would the sun in the west glow softer
Than now at the close of day.
Life is but a mighty heart-throb
And the love that makes lie 1alr
Would be no greater and truer' uear'
II were a millionaire! .
