Bathing Suits

The woman who goes to the seashOre
must include a bathing suit in her list
of dresses. and, unless she be going to
battle a great deal, she will probably
prefer to have a washable silk. which
can be obtained in heavy weight. II
comes in all the colors, and is most
popular in the raspberry shade. A bath
ing suit of deep raspberry colored wash
silk. with a band Of white silk upon it.
or trimmed with a few rows Of lustrous
braid, is one OF the very pretty things
of the season.
The ultra-fashionable woman has a
bathing suit made for her. whether she
is going to the seashOre or not. The
chances are that she will take in the
coast before her return, and the bath
ing suit will be necessary. At all events,
it is part of the fashionable wardrobe
To her suit, If she be truly ultra, she
will add a bathing hat Of washable
leghorn. wired in the wide brim. and
trimmed with a handful of sea grasses.
The tone Of her bathing suit may be a
sea green pOngee, which she will trim
with bands Of white and a necker Of
the same Most of the sleeves are cut
short and are finished at the armhole
purpose of making the sleeve fit and
being easy in the armhole at the same
time.
The seashore woman now takes with
her three or four suits. for there are
cold days when one wants to take a
sand bath and when a heavy suit Of
flannel Is desirable. And for this pur-
pose there are very comfortable suits
in two shades OF red. The deep shade
furnishes the material for the knee
deep skirt and the blouse waist, while
the lighter tone is used for the pointed
yoke and the tall stock as well as the
folded girdle and the deep stiff cuffs.
stockings that match the gown and
canvas shoes of the same shade are
among the pretty necessities of the
ocean girl. And 10 this can be added
the cap of dark rubber. over which is
tied the ornate bandanna A newer
bathing cap Is made of thin striped
rubber, with a thin silk rubber ban

who must keep the hands nice, and

bathing woman has no excuse for look

MONDAY MORNING CARES

Now is the season of the year when
waists and light dresses have way of
descending to the tub with various
kinds Of stains on them. and many
housekeeper has either been obliged TO
allow them to remain, or has been put
to the expense of sending them TO the
cleaner. If every housekeeper could
make list OF the principal stains and
their remedies and paste IL up in the
laundry she would find II invaluable.
especially at this time Of the year.
Fresh fruit stains are the ones she
has most frequently TO deal with just
now. The first thing to remember is
that soap will have the effect OF con-
verting these stains into a fast dye,
and that, therefore. the first thing 90
do Is to boil the stained garment in
clear water. Do not place the entire
garment in the water, but stretch the
stained part over d large bowl. and
pour boiling water down upon it from
a height until the stain disappears.
Another good method Is TO moisten
the stained part with Diluted OXalic
acid. and put the garment in the sun
TO bleach. Sometimes salt or chloride
OF lime is sprinkled upon the stained
part. and then the boiling water poured
through.
If the garment is white. the stained
portions may be plunged into boiling
milk for a few minutes. Hartshorn
will also be found good for removing
fruit stains. as will also the following
formula: Two ounces Of whisky and
two ounces Of gum camphOr shaken
we'll together.
The remove the stain of apples and
pears. use parafin. Peach and plum
stains are very difficult TO remove,
but sometimes il may be done sue
cessfully by wetting and spreading on
the grass to bleach.
Precipitation stains should he rubbed
well with soap suds and put in the
sun to bleach. Il Is sometimes nee
essary TO use dilute muriatic acid
in addition 10 the soap suds- Rubbing
with a cloth dipped in household am
monia is another good method.
If a grass stain is fresh, wash the
garment in ammonia and water. but IL
IL is old, wash in alcohol. If the gar
ment is white. use a paste made of soap
and cooking soda; if the garment is col
Ored and the color is in danger, apply
molasses.
To remove ink that is fresh from
white goods. plunge the stained part at
once into milk. If the Ink is quite dry.
the stained part should be placed on a
saucer with a little boiling water. and
covered with oxalic acid. After a few
minutes pour on boiling water 70 pre-
vent the acid from spreading, ana rinse
in warm water
Ink may also be removed by covering
the stain with warm mutton tallow. and
then washing in warm water and soap
Tea and coffee stains may be removed

it Chocolate stains are taken out by
