Blue and whIte sui.

Tremendously chic for a youthful
figure is a coat and skirt Of blue and
white striped serge. AT the head Of
the hem Of the jupe are laid oblong
motifs made from strips OF the materl-
al joined in points at the middle. A
band Of shis same trimming outlines
the coIiarless neck and extends down
to the left bust From tnis point the
jacket buttons diagonally over to the
right. each side OF the coat sloping
on to the underarm seam al the waist
line to reveal a pointed satin girdle. A
tightfttlng peplum passes around the
back and curves up gently TO meet the
edges OF the coat.

sinole Rope swinqs.

Sometimes a rope viii be found ly-
ing about the barn OF back Of the
house which could be used to make
a swing, bu. it is not quite long
enough for the purpose. That is the
time a single rope swing may be made
which viii furnish enough fun TO last
all summer.
The end Of soap box makes a good
seat, explains the Rochester Post-Ex-
press. Bore hole In the middle OF a
board, pass the rope through and tie
knot in the bottom. Tie the other
end around the branch Of tree, as
far away from the trunk as possible.
Let the board be not more than six
or seven inches wide.
A good athletic boy can have great
fun with such a swing. There Is a
knack in handling It, but when once
mastered he can swing back or forth
perfectly straight in any direction.
Grasp the rope as high as you can
reach, stand far back and with a
quick jerk lift yourself of the ground
and straddle the swing. The board
should be far enough from the ground
to let the toes touch, then, by touch
ing the ground occasionally 1t is pos
sible to keep going straight and not
rcvolYe. If some one is near by to
push you can be pushed in circle
like a "merry-go-round" There is
enough variety in this style Of swing
to make 1t worth while to make one
