Did you know that bathing suits are

it was the directoire dress that was
making the talk? You ara right, for
no one but the children give any
thought to the bathing costume-save
a few tired mothers that have reaped
the benefit of the discovery. 1t all
came about when a certain ingenious
child found she was not going to the
lakes for the summer. She dressed
herself in her little dark blue serge
bathing suit, and with the hose handy
for water. a big tub for a lake and
plenty of sand to dig in she made "a

even some advantages, for as one
small girl said:
"See the lovely mud for pies. You
can't find bit of real good mud for
baking down at the lake, and If you
should, nobody would let you play in
it, Here If you get it all over you,
why you can just turn the hose on
yourself, and you are all ready to go
in and dress, and If your bathing suit
isn't clean you wriggle 1t around in the
tub a few times and after it is hung
up turn the hose on it and let it dry.
Isn't that great?''
Bless the babies! They will make
themselves happy anywhere If we will
only let them and lend helping hand
at the right place. The trouble with
most mothers is that they want the
child to enjoy the things they like
themselves, forgetting that the joy of
childhood is that all the world is new
and the child's heart is new, too.
There's a deal of good to be found in
judicious letting alone. That does not
mean neglect, but in giving the child
a chance to grow naturally. When you
