BATHING
SUITS

Bathing suits run to light colors
this year, even those which are quite
practical, and the SNOWY affairs
made for sand promenades rival even
ing dresses in the delicacy of their
shades and the filminess of their
fabrics. Palest pink or palest blue
china silk Is not at all unusual in
one OF these latter, set off by a deem
hem and trimmings OF white taffeta
to give just bit Of weight. This Is
finished by sash or girdle of alter
mating white and pink or white and
blue TO match the garn ent. Sleeves
are In kimono style and necks are cut
very low.
Better liked than these colored
ones, however, are the sand suits of
all white silk or satin. When taf-
feta Is used there may be trimming
IN color, and sometimes there is a
half-and-half effect. A suit of white
silk with sides and possibly sleeves
and a couple of pointed. narrow pam
els In the skirt, is made of black and
white striped taffeta. When the
white suit is made for service in the
water, satin surah, not unlike UNI
brella silk, and able to withstand a
plunge, is employed. The suit Is nat
ty and, of course, is made on modish
lines.
The most conspicuous innovation
In the really practical suits Is the
sweater The skirt and bloomers will
be of taffeta, perhaps plain black,
but more likely OF black or blue with
hem In stripes or embroidered in
white, but the upper portion will be

HANDMADE
WORK BAG

The girl who has left over from
one of her frocks four or Ave inch
strip OF gold tissue or net such as was
much used in yokes this past season
can turn 1t TO account in an ex-
quislte workbag.
Make round bottom, five or six
inches in diameter, and cover 1t with
plain blue, green, or lilac silk that
has a satiny sheen. Make a bag
seven inches deep and long enough
to go twice around the circumference
of the bottom.
The top should be turned In for an
inch and half and half inch casing
stitched or brlarstiched in. II pre-
ferred, the bag may be lined with
white china silk throughout.
The strip of gold net is then
sewed around the lower part OF the
bag. This should be about half the
depth, or wider IL desired. The top
may be scalloped, but In an irregu-
lar waving Line, or cut into square
tabs. The net Is then darned In with
different colored embroidery silk or
mereefized cottOns TO give solid
darned surface. This stitchery may
be straight around or In waving lines
or follow the outline of top. II top
is pointed 1t can be arranged In deep
points around entire surface. Care
must be taken that the order of coll
ors Is observed In starting new
groups OF darning.

A Daily Bath.

Some women say that they have
not the vitality to withstand daily
bath. That Is usually the case when
the bath is considered a bother and
too much strength is expended In the
scrubblng and rubbing. The most
beneficial bath is the quick one that
Is over within three minutes. Such
a bath is tonic. 1t is not necessary
to get into the tub. Merely go over
