after 4 swim IN The sea.


II would not suggest vigorous swim
ming, except for women of unusual VIZ
tality, and those who are accustomed to
the sport, for being in the water is weak
ening to certain degree, because II
takes so much heat from the body, and
when addedf-to this there is muscular
strain, the result is not altogether desir-
Fable for a person not possessed OF
strong vitality and superfuous strength.
Running and playing on the beach
after swim or bath is not good, neither
is going in for a few minutes and COM
ing out into the air and lying in the sun
to get dry and warm Though l have
seen hundred of persons do this for four
or five consecutive hours without any ap-
parent physical weakness, vet know
that it is debilitating, and for that rea-
son should warn any one against such
practice.

dip is good. for it warns the body,
and if there is any perspiration dries it.
For that reason alone it is worth trying,
for nothing is worse than going into wa
ter which is almost always colder than
the temperature of the body when the
pores are open and the blood is overheat-
ed. for the cold drives it from the sur
face of the flesh and the perspiration
strikes in, a condition that invites cold.
Bathing in baths in which sea salt
bought in the stores is dissolved is OF
absolutely no value whatever and though
many women are addicted to it, through
its being widely recommended, it has no
other effect than that which comes from
an ordinary tubing
There is a charming quaintness about
| the granny bonnets which are being
shown in the shops for small maids wear
this summer. in a variety of materials
and trimmings ranging from sheer lawns
and organdies to the finest of laces and
embroideries variously trimmed with soft
plsse frills of the bonnet material lace
or embroidery.
For extremely dressy wear there are
the most fascinating CONNECTIONS of fine
Valenciennes lace. the crown formed of
the insertions, Joined and corded over
the finest featherbone cords, and the
frills which frame the small face are of
the sheerest muIl, edged with lace.
Here again the cords are brought into
use, being run through with tiny hem to
give the necessary graceful support. Soft
satin ribbons make the bow trimming on
the top of the crown and for the ties,
knotted so demurely under the small
| chin. A further touch of dressiness is
/ added in the. wreath of tiny blossoms,
| white or delicate pink, which rest soft
ly on the hair beneath the face ruttles.
Less dressy. bur equally becoming eff
feets, are those made of plain white
lawn. These are constructed on the same
lines as the small lady's gingham sun
bonnet The poke portion is of lawn, lace
edged. Unlike the sunbonnet of play
hours, these have no capes, the full
crown being gathered in several inches
above the nape of the neck and ruffle
trimmed, but like their poor relations of
gingham, they may be laundered readily.
Then there are broad trimmed lingerie
hats of heavy linen, the brim of which

glaise and button holder scalloped adge
| and full tam crown buttoned to the
1 brim, the poning concealed with the
wide ribbon which ties in bow on the
front brim, ties Of the same ribbon or a
narrow white elastic serving to keep the
hat ON the head.
The prettiest handkerchiefs are being
made as fancy work out of plaid and
corded handkerchief linens which came
out in the spring for blouses and shirt
waists and morning dresses. French
handkerchiefs, exactly like them, have
been popular for several years, but, If
you hemstitch. duplicates of the French
ones may be yours for the merest frac-
tion Of the cost. For a yard of the stuff
costs less than single made-up hand
kerchief. And a yard makes good
