BY CORA MOORE.

Especially attractive for summer frocks
are the embroidered robes that come
semf-made at the shops and that require
no particular cleverness to put together.
The one illustrated is of white marqui-
settle, with the long, gracefully hung
skirt Of plain material. a simple ball
fringe to finish the tunic edge and a sash
of flame colored satin wound twice about
the waist to terminate I'm long-taSseled
streamers are the only extra touches re-
quired.
Besides the marquisettes the robes are
to be had in many other reproductions
of the worsted cloths, such as cotton
tweed. crash. eponge and crepon, the
crepons being especially attractive and
possessing the advantage of requiring no
ironing.
In colored materials favoritism is
shown to the loosely woven meshes and
to those in which there Is mixture of
tone. as for instance. a gray woven over
black. cadet blue over certain shade
of green. and cream with almost any
color desired Then a yard or two of solid
color material is included in the pattern
or few yards of embroidery embody-
ing the color of the under weave. There
are a number of fabrics Of this nature
which have come out since the season
opened many of them possessed of pc
cuiar color tint. in addition to distinction
of weave. Probably no previous season
has offered such an extended range of
| ColorS in cottons or of cotton materials.
| OF the robes the assortment likewise
is large and varied. Among them are
always a few that are cut circular, par
| ticularly among the batistes, and these
should be avoided because it is difficult;
| to adjust them satisfactorily to the pre-
| vailing modes. 1t is a safe hazard, too
| that they are left over from last season.
However. If one finds a bargain that is
not to be resisted. the circular cut is best
| treated by the laying of deep plaits from
| the hem by graduating them into moth
| ingness toward the top. or sometimes 1t
will be found possible to incorporate the
flare in a single wide plait or panel at
the back with corresponding one in
front. Still. again, the disadvantage of
the circular effect may be obviated by
cutting the robe through the center in an
arched effect. then affiXing the section
removed as hounce to the upper part
after gathering it to proper narrow pro-
portions. taking in the fullness of the
fiounce in a deep lengthwise fold.

you bring the hands together at the chest.

easy and natural
The value of land swimming cannot be
overestimated. 1t allows the swimmer to
become thoroughly acquainted with the
motions of the body, SO that when she
comes in contact with the water her
body is sent mechanically in the line of
least resistance. She has become accus-
timed to associate certain movements of
the arms and limbs with the effort to
swim. When the effort is actually put
into effect the movements are made with
out any great amount Of concentration,
culiarities OF the water without motion
being suspended.
Try land swimming several times every
day until the arms and limbs move as
directed without a single hitch. When
this is accomplished you are ready to
venture forth into the water with the as
surance Of safety and success.

can muster. Such methods are extremely

One of tire long piano benches now in
vogue is an ideal place to take the first
lesson. 1t is an extremely unyielding and
unsympathetic surface. but it serves the
purpose admirably.

curtail the perfect freedom of motion.
Place the bench i'm the middle of the floor

and allow the muscles to relax into their

accomplished swimmers.

irons will destroy the color even more
than soap and water. so take care they

change when ironing there lis nothing
wrong.
IT is because oil has been used In the
manufacturing of coloring rather than Of

means scorchng, but this is not SO
