On the banks of the Seine, near the Tuilerles
Gardens, there are two or three swimming baths'
one of which was established few years before
the Revolution. In these unsightly wooden
buildings bath can be had for 1O cents, with
the luxury-as the notice board puts it-of sep
arate dressing rooms. In hot weather these
baths are pretty well patronZed Not many Pa
risians can swim, as is shown by their conduct
in August at their favorite ''plages-" They take
a morning dip in the sea, which is literally a
dip and nothing more, and Providence in the
person of a man in boat, ready to rescue any
over bold who may venture beyond their depth,
finds his post sinecure.
There is, however, a tendency in Paris to-day
to restore the bath to it's rightful position in
every household, and the houses being put up
in the fine new artery cut through the heart Of
the city on the Left Bank-the Boulevard Ras-

Both dainty and cheap-and what
more could mortal maid desire-are the
new bed coverings of culored muslin.
The spread for the bed is long enough
to nearly reach the floor. It is Of
white muslin with a three-inch border
of blue or pink or violet muslin. The
two pillow shaws are square pieces Of
white bordered with the color.
Instead of putting on Marseilles
spread it is much better to use spreads
Of plain white striped 6imity. These are
left on at night to protect the blanket
after the fancy spread is removed.
They should be used on every bed un-
less one has the French double sheets
which are twice the length of the bed.
These serve the same purpose as the
