to this are straps that cross over the

Brown mohair makes a very neat suit,

thing very attractive about graceful
girl in the act Of diving. and it always
excites the attention and admiration OF
the beholders. In the illustration
given Of girl diving the su.- that she
wears is made of white alpaca, with
sailor CELLAR Of black peau de sole. with
girdle to match. 1t is. really remark
able how this material stands the wa
ter. excelIing taffeta in that respect
Whole suits are now made Of it. but
they are quite expensive.
1t seems to me that 1t would not be
difficult TO make ones own bathing suit,
with the aid of little ingenuity and
Butterick's pattern Taffeta suits in any
color are always pretty, and they shed
the water well, leaving the appearance
of not having been wet Perhaps black
IS the most serviceable color. Alpaca is
another good and strong material for a
bathing suit, but 1t is hard to sew. and
it is said TO be too scratchy to be COM
Portable. An alpaca suit M be made
very large around the arms, and in the
sleeves. or the rubbing of the sleeve may
make the arm quite infiamed and sore- A
bathing suit Of silk. which Is popular
with some people, seems to me to be too
clinging. and when it is wet. 1t looks
shapeless and unbecoming. A good many
women. who would very much enjoy
good plunge in the sea, are unwilling TO
put on a bathing suit because they think
they are too stout, and object to wearing
corsets in the water. 1t seems to me pos
sible, however, to overcome this objec-
ton by wearing a very tight fitting cor
set cover made of strong muslin under the
suit.
There Is now a new thing in beach
shoes. They are made OF embroidered
canvas. with embroidered straps that
criss-cross up the leg TO the knee. These
shoes are snowy and effective, but to my
thinking not as pretty as stockings.

It must be remembered that any one
who is really swimmer can wear
bathing suit only one season. The salt
water will certainly rot the material. and
the swimming stroke will. by the end OF
the summer, pretty well pull the suit TO
pieces. no matter how strong the material
may be. It is therefore advisable not
to purchase very expensive suit. but to
select a fairly good one. pretty and be-

DO WE LOVE LIBERTY?

Henry Watterson, writing from ms
bruck. interlards one of his fine de-
scriptive letters with this observation :
In Jeferson's day there were doubtless
some Jeffersonian Democrats, but in Our
day they are found only over yonder in
Switzerland and here in the Tyrol.
Though Austrians and the subjects of
the emperor, the -Tyrolese have never
lost their rugged independence. They
are poor, frugal and proud. They love
their country as it is now organized and
are loyal to the prevailing system; Cath
Ole is their religion, but in their own
way they are true to their ideals and
their traditions. Are we Americans
true to ours? De we love liberty more
than we love money, or do we love
money more than we love liberty p
Webster Signal.
In the United States at this time
ideals and traditions pale into insignif-
canoe in the pursuit of dollars AS a
rule, in this commercial age men are
measured by the standard of their dol
lars, and while the average Americans
love for liberty is unquestioned, his
idolatry of money is the incentive which
moves him onward. What would some
men not do for money?

A TRIUMPH OF JUSTICE.

Monroe News, June %: The verdict
of the jury in the Matthews case rem
dered last night is a triumph of justice,
and the unwritten law that maintains
the sanctity of the home has not been
impaired, but remains as strong and inn
pregnable in this community as ever it
was
The honor plea never had any place
in this case, and if it had it was waived
when the defendant testified that the
killing was merely incidental to a SPUR
rel hunt; that he happened by the vic
TINS place of business and shot him
because he had ruined his sister,
This latter fact, or alleged fact, was
never given to the jury legally as evil
dence, but the general knowledge of it
is what saved the defendant from cap
Ital or qualified conviction of murder
and as stated, preserved the principle
of the unwritten law, the right of man
to protect the purity and sanctity of his
home, but with the warning that it can
not be made the excuse for taking life
The wrong must be shown and clearly
established.'
