ever. and the stylish woman has always
worn them under protest. At last some
French genius has evolved the suspender
straps to be worn over the waists, and
that trifiing addition has made a most ac-
ceptable garment of the almost despised
separate skirt. and almost lifted 1t to the
dignity of gown.
Every woman has her own little way of
doing things. without the least regard to
the fashions, and one of the new ideas
suggested to her by the suspender skirt is
to do away with the travelling suit alto
gether. and wear in its stead the skirt with
a SILK waist of the same color, the whole
to be hidden by the Indispensable dust coat.
This will enable the tourist-by simply put
ting on a fresh waist-to arrive as spick
and spotleSs as she started.
Travelling gowns these days generally
lead to a bathing suit A pretty little salt
water outfit shown by Washington house
is of tan wash silk with full plated knee
skirt Joined to a surplice-shaped waist.
There is short puffed sleeve and a girdle
belt A dainty sake blue cap, belt and silk
stockings are worn with this suit The
bloomers gathered by an elastic and
are invisible
White mohair, wash silk and pongee are
also shown for bathing suits, and though
they are yellowed by the b14ny water the
color is generally becoming. Few suits of
all black are seen this summer, except for
elderly women The gay reds, yellows and
blues are also conspicuous by their alb
sence. and there is less fancy braid trim
ming used than ever before
The talor-made bathing suit is something
new. The bodice fits closely about the
shoulder. giving free play to the lower
part of the waist and the hip Is as clearly
defined as an evening princess gown. The
sea corset, which is merely girdle Of
heavy white twilling with straight-front
steel. is an indispensable adjunct to the
tailor-made suit.
In France it is said that the sea corset

been seen on this side. ;
The white embroidered shoes predicted
short time ago have materialized. The first
models shown in this country are of all
over white embroidery, generally of OPEN
white sateen or butchers linen. They are
easily soiled. but just as easily renovated
with a pipe-clay powder similar to that
used by army men to clean their white
belts and facings.

Though specific proofs were lacking. 1t
has long been notorious that certain MEM
bers of the New South Wales parliament,
acting as land agents. were In the habit of
abusing their political influence by corrupt
ly obtaining from the lands department i'm

ton of payment by the latter. In conse-
quence of startling disclosures made during
a lawsuit last week, the state government
in response to public demand appointed
a royal commission today TO investigate the
whole matter of transactions between the
lands department and politicians.
The expected result is the removal of the
department from political control and the
vesting of it In a commission like the rail-
way department. Today Mr.. Slattery,
former minister of mines and at present a
member of the New South Wales legislative
council, was sentenced to fOrty-two

The French are a delightful people.
Where. save In Paris. would the wife of a
dramatist rush into print to describe her

how the author of "Scarron," after a years

TIL the masterpiece was done. Then he

creation, the triumphant joy of a task
achieved 1t was night. Everybody was

The Banana.
From the BOSTON Herald.

The prohibitionist looks on 1t with favor,
for 1t does not mix with alcohol. and some
think the habituaI use blunts the longing
for fre-water. Thus Capt. Parsons of an
English-West Indian line says that since
his seamen and stokers have been allowed
to help themselves freely to the cargo of
bananas they have not wished so much
rum There is trace of copper in the
banana, and deep thinkers believe this Is
beneficial to the human clockwork.
The taste for the banana Is not acquired.
As Mr.. CrIchton- Browne excIaims in
burst of Ciceronic eloquence: An appre-
citation is not reached through slow stages
Of diminishing repulson. but comes at the
moment of first Introduction. The infant
absorbs 1t greediiy; children devour IT with
delight; the adult does not despise It. and
the edentulous octogenarian blesses it,
