BATHING AT DIEPPE
OF Comparatively Recent Origin
One Woman's Experience.


1t is difficult to realize how com
paratively recent is sea bathing in
France. Over one hundred years ago
it was quite unknown in Dieppe.
The Comtesse of Boigne, in ner
Memoirs, gives an account of visit
she paid there in 1906, which is in
teresting in view of the position
Dieppe now holds among French
watering places.
"The poverty of the inhabitants, "
she says, was frightful. The Eng
lishman, as they called him (and for
them he was worse than the devil)
was cruising necessarily before their
empty harbor With much difficulty
a boat was able to escape from time
to time and go fishing, always at the
risk of being captured by the for
eigner or confiscated upon the return
journey if the telescopes of the watch
ers had seen it approach vessel.
GAS for the comforts arranged for
the convenience of bathers which
Dieppe has since organized, they were
non-existent at that time. My brother
was able to find q little covered cart,
and with great trouble and great ex-
pense, Notwithstanding the universal
poverty, man was hired to lead the
horses down to the sea and two wom-
en- to go into the sea with me.
"These preparations raised the pub
lie surprise and curiosity to such a
pitch that my first bath was watched
by a crowd on the shore. My SER
wants were asked if l had been bitten
by mad dog.
II aroused extreme pity as l went
by, and it was thought that l was
being taken to be drowned An old
gentleman called on my father to
point out to him that he was aGsum-
ing a great responsibility in permit
ting so rash an act. it can hardly be
imagined that the inhabitants of a
seashore could be so afraid of the
sea.
But at that time the people of
Dieppe were chiefly occupied in keep
ing out of sight of it and IN protect
ing themselves from the disasters
which they feared the sea might
bring, so that for them it was moth
ing more than a sense of annoyance
and suffering. 1t is curious to think
that ten years later bathers were ar
irving in hundreds, that special ar
rangements were made for their con-
venience, and that sea bathing OF
every kind went on without produc-
ing any astonishment in the neigh
borhood.
l have thus attempted to point out
that the custom of sea bathing, which
is now so universal, is comparatively
recent in France, for Dieppe was the
first place where it began"

Queer Foods.

ported plants, and they are so differ
ent from our vegetables that many
think them worth trial. Several of
them, especially the turnips, make
salad relished by all Americans At
a banquet given not long ago at
Woods Hole, Mass, Dr. I. A. Field.
of Harvard, made an excursion intA
culinary art, and figured as guest and
chef at dinner given to sixty biolo-
gists, representing nearly all the
Eastern colleges and universities. The
dinner was given to prove that the
despised squid. the sea snail and the
sand lance of the Atlantic coast are
food fit for any table. AS the emin-
ent professors and doctors found that
these foods were both succulent and
nutritious, and that they abound in
limitless quantities along the coast,
it may be expected that our markets
will soon add to their already large
assortment of odd things the whelk,
the sand lance and the native sea-
slug.
Another new vegetable which was
discovered in Fifth avenue shop
bids fair to be favorite with epicu-
rean New Workers. 1t is the ebay
ote," which comes from Costa Rica.
The chayote is a vegetable that grows
on vine like cucumber. 1t is of a
delicious flavor and is eaten baked.
stuffed or as salad. The Japanese
water root and the Chinese water
chestnut, both of which can be bought
at very reasonable rates in Chinese
grocery, are vegetables which tempt
many who like new and varied dishes.
They are crisp and delicate in flavor
and are good eaten from the hand
like radishes.
A tidbit we'll known to the average
epicure and much relished is the oys-
ter crab, which will soon be in sea-
son. The oyster crab is tiny crab
which lodges within the shell and
takes on the flavor of the oyster. The
largest specimens are no larger than
dime, and they are generally much
smaller.
A trick of the epicure which few
know is the way he manages to have
his oranges so fresh looking and tast-
ing. He has made study of foods.
and by observing he has learned
many things The trick, which is
good one to remember, is to massage
and bathe oranges just as soon as
they are bought. The idea is of Chi
nese origin. In China, when the or
ange crop is harvested, the fruit is
laid for short time in bath of
water, after which it is scrubbed with
a brush and aired. 1t is claimed that
an orange not treated this way loses
it's oil and soon begins to turn brown
and shrivel. In California the Chi
nese coolies taught the trick to some
of the ranchmen, and to those who
do not know how it is done it is
marvel how bright looking and fresh
tasting are the oranges which have
been long packed away. One serving
oranges will find it good plan to
massage and bathe them, then give
them an extra fifteen-minute bath in
ice water before serving. After this
treatment, when peeled the fruit
seems as fresh from the tree. Special
orange brushes are sold in Chinatown
for this use. Harriet Quimby, in Les
lies Weekly.

and side-backs. The fronts are fitted
by means of darts at the shoulders,
and the back is arranged to form
pleats at its edges, which are Tapped
over onto the side-backs. Pockets
are inserted and finished with laps.
and there is a regulation collar with
lapels at the neck. The cuffs are pret-
tily shaped and allow effective use of
banding or contrasting material.
The quantity of material required
for the sixteen-year size is four and a

Eight Gored Skirt.

The gored skirt that is relieved of
severity by some arrangement of
pleats at front and back is among the
very latest to have appeared. This
one is charmingly graceful, yet quite
simple, and is adapted both to the
house and to street wear. The prin-
cesse style will be a favorite one for
a long time to come, and is much to
be commended wherever 1t is found
becoming, but there are figures to
which the one of regulation kind Is
better suited and the skirt can be cut
off at the waist line and finished with

A New Blue.

A beautiful shade of blue is being
exploited in millinery. 1t is very
dark dye of Beauvais, but there Is
much more black to the present
shade. "Dusky blue" might best
characterize it, and yet there is great
indication of the smoke color, too.
The tone is universally becoming and
seems to go with anything. In the
new velvets and velveteens it is ador-
able. To render the hats more soft
in tone the milliners are putting a
covering of mousseline the same
shade of felt or silk. The blue is
most striking in mousseline.

are heavy enough to be made in so
simple style are appropriate. how
ever.
The skirt is cut in eight cores. The
back gore is arranged to form a box
pleat and the front gore is laid in
pleats that give the box pleat effect
and conceal the seams.

for the medium size is twelve yards
