IN coLoRs TO MATCH FRock.
Dainty Cotton Underskirts for the
Woman of Small Means.

There Is an unusual abundance OF
embroidered petticoats in linens and
cottons this spring. A well-made,
prettily embroidered cotton petticoat,
having its embroidery or chief color
matching the costume with which it is
worn, is in far better taste than torn
silk skirt, and is much daintier, as it
can be tubbed after every wearing or
two, and be as fresh and attractive as
ever.
Some of these come in stripes. some
In plaids. For example, a charming
Scotch gingham is in blue and white,
and the lower ruffle, set on an UNI
brella flounce of the plaid, is en-
broidered in white
Another is in pale pink and white
striped madras, with the rufile en-
broidered in pink.
There are also plain chambrays, en-
broidered in white, and almost any
costume can be matched If one takes
the time.
The wisest way for the woman with
time and limited means is to buy ma
terials in fast colors and dainty de-

sheath skirt pattern, one having the
yoke instead of the band finish, at the
top. and have the skirts made in the
house. OF course, in this way one can
seldom get embroidery done on the
skirt material itself, but torchon laces
may be used. and much tucking done,
and for knockabout wear the elab-
orately tucked skirt and tucked rafie
skirts are most satisfactory.
Dimities figured in tiny rosebuds or
forget-me-nots, and having edgings
and insertions of German valenciennes
make delightfully."- dainty petticoats.
The little cord in the dimity gives
them body. Heavy white net may be
used not only for deep umbrella
founce, set on the chambray or other
skirts, but may and should have mar
row ruiiles set on the umbrella, for
without them the latter has little body.
Each ruffie should be finished at its
lower edge with a narrow band of the
chambray or madras to give body to
the net.

SEA BATHING.
The Effects of Salt Air and Water Oh
the Human Body.

The Effects of Salt Air and Water on
the Human Body.
There is reason why parents have
in all times and in all ages endeavored
to give their children the benefit of sea
air and sea bathing. An Italian physi-
clan, Gerosa, tells about it:
1t is agreed. he says, that all living
organisms began their first existence in
salt water and that as a result the hu.
man body (and indeed every animal
body is largely made up of salt. II
you taste your blood or your tears,
which are the extract of blood. you
will find that both are quite salt in
favor. More than this, however, every
living being possesses within his body.
in the cellular stage, all those strange
marine organisms which we study so
curiously in museums. And, seeing,
says Gerosa, that the amount of sea
water contained in every body is equal
to one-third of that body's weight, 1t IS
clear that in the enthusiastically rudi-
mentary form all known marine life
must be present in the blood. The re-
suit is that when we battle in the sea
or breathe the sea air we replace the
amount of essential salt which is con-
stantly decreasing in the system and,
all unconsciously to ourselves, weak
ening it. Salt water, says Gerosa, is
really the main principle of life. since
it is the first condition of existence
which the living organisms knew. 1t
is therefore always good for the body,
| whether it be enjoyed at the seaside or
| brought in bottles from the sea. In
particular is 1t very valuable in the
case Of weakling children, and there is
no bodily stimulant so invigorating to
| the very young as sea water.
