reflected by the smart bathing suit. In
this case the harem skirt idea has
been adapted, and the result is that di'

sensible one for outdoor sports. and as
a bathing skirt it is comfortable and
modest, for it is laid in deep plaits

would suspect that this trim costume

are that this conventions delegates
will out number those of any previous

Every phase of Sunday school work
is to be treated by specialists at the
various meetings. The Rev. DR. A. F.

panies and the perfection of the or
ganization. AS a matter of fact the
$40 0.OOO,0 was simply the promoters
