SEASONS BATHING SUIT.
Buy Mohair or Light Weight Serge
and Make with Short Skirt and
Short or No Sleeves.

"aH|M
Bathing suits are growing to be
quite important adjuncts to q summer
wardrobe. This year they're more in
teresting than ever, coming in tailored
styles that are as well cut and shaped
as a suit.
Mohair is the best material for all
around wear, and this year the new
mohairs will be used, with the odd diff
~ferences of weave that resolve them.
selves into ~sbadow-checks and plaids
and stripes. They're twice as pretty
as the plain stuff, and make a much
more stunning suit. There will be
more suits of mohair worn than of any
other material.
Whatever YOU do, don't make your
suit of flannel-it's distinctly out"
Use serge instead. if you want some
thing of that sort, and get a light
weight why serge, SO that it will keep
In shape and yet not become heavy the
instant it gets wet.
If you get serge. or. in fact, any
wooden stuff, have it sponged before
you cut into your suit. You'll not have
the disappointment of spelling it the
first time you go in bathing.
High and low neck styles are equal
ly good, but the favorite of all is a
style just a little low-there's so much
more freedom Of movement if the neck
isn't confined in a high collar. The
skirt should reach just to the bend OF
the knee. And the sleeves should al
ways be either short or elbow length,
or, like the new swimming sleeve, just
a row of straps.
A good bathing suit has the gored
skirt so popular this year. A little ex-
ira fullness is got into the skirt by a
box plat on each side of the front,
running from about half way down to
the hem. The waist is trimmed With
narrow tuchs, from which narrow
bands of white extend, like Dipings,
and the idea is repeated on the skirt.
The sailor collar is a particularly
good shape. and is just, wide enough
to give an athletic width to the shout
doris without coming out so far over
the tops of the sleeves as to droop
when it is wet.
Down the front are buttons set in
pairs, with, for ~fastenings, a cord
Joined and knotted in the middle, SO
as to leave a loop to slip over each
button. Under the front OF the waist
runs a wide Zap, to prevent any pos
sible slipping of the fronts.
The belt and band around the bot
tom of the skirt are made of white
and trimmed with several rows OF
stitching, and these bands should be
made of the same material as the suit.
1t would be pretty carried out in blue
mohair with a shadow check, and
trimmed with plain white mohair.

Then the Hiltons know everything
He looked al her in humiliation.
They know why | could not come
with you this morning" she said, eva,
sively.
Ben sat down on the extreme end of
the seat and wished he knew as much
as the Hiltons. just then. But he would
be thankful that they did not know all.
At this juncture the trio came up be-
draggled and happy, carrying immense
wreaths of water lilies, and were ready
to go home.
1t has been such a jolly day." ex-
claimed Rose; stringing a fragrant
wreath on her arm and addressing
Mile.
Yes; everybody is so independently
happy" answered Miss Radcliffe.
Ben Easton bit his lips and flushed
to the roots Of his hair. Would he get
to the finish of this before it finished
him? 81
Fact echoed Tom over Ben's head.
I've been having a fine time, too. When
your aunt wanted the phaeton | thought
we were dom for; but when you sent
Ben around. you let us all out, Miss Rad
cliffe.'
There's always a way out" put in
Ben, catching at straws and hoping he
was the son of a prophet at least.
But his remark must have sounded
extremely funny. for it was received
with a storm of applause. Tom went
so far as to roll on the sward in his mer-
l:ment. asking the girls to give three
cheers for the way out"
Rose shook her head w~arningly and
exclaimed: 20, Tom! You've Just
missed mixing yourself with the remains
of a custard pie!" and he needed the
warning in time to prevent the mix-up
and a colony of ants which had inten-
tions on the aforesaid custard.
"Ben's a prophet said he, soberly:
there is a way out. and it comes some.

But Ben did not even smile.
When the shadows heightened and

burden of lilies and rolled merrily home.

more sedate couple.

and if every bone in your body aches,
try resting yourself by gymnastic
stunts. Take off your tight clothing
and exercise.
Il have certain stunts I always try.
One of these is that Of bending way for
ward and laying my hands fiat on the
floor. Then | throw myself back as far
as | can. This makes the body arch
front and back. 1t is lovely for the
nerves and the muscles.
81 believe people would be fuller in
the chest if they did these stunts more.
When | see f~1at-chested women l feel
sure that they do not exercise. They
ought to begin and do stunts. 1t is
easy and it takes no time at all. You
can snatch Is minutes out OF any day
to do these stunts.
THE who wants a nice, full
chest development must not forget to
throw out her chest. The f1at-chested
woman is apt to stoop. She bends for
ward; she has a cough and she looks
pale. She should straighten up, throw
back her shoulders, breathe deeply and
take the gymnastic exercise. 1t would
do her good to bend backward and to
sway from side to side.
THE fiat-chested woman could beat
her chest. Beating your chest is excel
lent exercise. 1t may make you cough
a little, but no matter. Give yourself
a good thump, breathe deeply and don't
forget that you are trying to develop
your chest. The influence of mind
over matter is a great deal, and a kind
of instinct will tell you what to dc
next. | have the widest, fullest chest
for my size in the world. And l think
can take a great deal of credit to

CONCERNING THE BATH.
Find Out What Is Good for Oneself
What One Woman Consid-
cred an Ideal Cleansing.

Summer is the ideal time for testing
ones ability to endure the daily bath,
but no woman should make the change
too abruptly. Neither, after taking warm
baths all winter, should she attempt to
plunge into cold water, like the expert
enced cold-water tiend. If she is accus-
toned to a daily Tubing in warm water,
let her reduce the temperature OF the wa
ter a few degrees each day until it drops
to 65. If she cannot stand a cold plunge,
let her try sponging with cold water. For
this purpose she can use a foot-tub,
filling it half or a third with tepid or
warm water in which she stands, and
then sponge off the body with water
from the cold faucet. This sponging
may be done with an ordinary sponge,
a Turkish wash-rag or the bare hands.
Another way to educate oneself up to
the daily cold bath is to use the shower.
Take a warm (not a hot) bath, lasting
from six to ten minutes, and then turn
on the cold shower for a quick finish.
If you have no shower attached to your
tub, buy for 90 cents one of the rubber
tubes with a nickel spray attached, of
the sort most often used for rinsing the
hair after a shampoo. Attach this to
the cold water faucet and spray the
body with it briskly.
One successful newspaper woman,
who spends the entire summer in town
taking her annual vacation for senti-
mental reasons in October, lay down
this regime of bathing. She says that
she is not strong enough to take a cold
dip every morning, but she takes a cold
sponge, rubs herself quickly, and If it
is a sunny morning rolls herself in q
kimona and lies Tor a few moments
where the sun can pour upon her. In
winter she takes exercise for five min
utes in place Of the sun bath. When
she comes home at night, before going
to dinner, she invariably changes her
gown, bathing her face, neck, chest and
arms with oatmeal water, which she
finds extremely soothing. Then just
before retiring she takes a warm (not
a hot) bath for Is minutes, and re.
tires to sleep the sleep of the just--and
the well-cleansed.

EXTREME DEBILITY.

Husbands strength Had Been Waning for
Three Years. Wife a Sufferer from
Female Weakness.

Mr.. Goldstein is a young man and had
then but recently established a home of
his own. His anxieties were increased
by the fact that his wife was far from

"For two years I had been i'll most of

THE CARE OF THE TEETH.
Children Should Be Taught the Nice.
ties of the Toilet from Their
Earliest Years.

Children should be taught to use q
toothbrush and some good dentrifice
after every meal, and especially be-
fore going to bed at night. There are
few things more offensive to the sight
than a foul, neglected mouth, and few
things easier to avoid, if proper care
is given the teeth. One of the cheapest
and most effective dentrifices is com
mon table salt, dissolved in a little wa
ter, and il used with a good brush regu-
larly, very little else will be needed.
There are many tooth soaps on the mar
ket, at reasonable prices, and many
Of them are very good, but often they
are harmful, and it is as well to make
ones OWL dentrifice. If the gums are
tender and inclined to bleed easily, Sc
lect a brush adapted to their tender
condition, and do not give them ex-
cessive friction. Your dentist will tell
you a preparation for hardening the
gums without harming them. A great
many persons cannot use a hard brush.
A very good tooth soap is made Of pre-
pared chalk six parts and good, pure
soap, n part, rubbed together thor
oughly. Charcoal, powdered pnmice
stone, cuttle-fsh and similar sub
stances are not readily soluble in the
mouth, and often do more harm than
good. The teeth should be brushed down
ward from both sides of the upper teeth
and upward from both sides on the low
er teeth, and the mouth we'll rinsed
with a simple solution Of water and
powdered borax, or water and table salt.
"A bit Of thread, or dental floss, should
be run between the teeth in order to
remove any deposit which has escaped
the brush.

n~iceties Of the toilet from their earliest
years, the habit would become fixed,
