The question raised by the arrest OF
Dr. Rosalie Ladoya for not wearing
skirts while swimming at Jackson
Beach, Chicago, has aroused consider.
able interest on both sides of the AT.
lantic. Discussion of the subject is
especially keen at English seaside re-
sorts, where the above pictures of fair
femininity al fresco were taken.
To show how custom differs at diff
ferent resorts, at Felixtowe skirts are
optional; at Falmouth there are no re-
strictions; at Torquay close fitting
bathing costume is not regarded with
favor, and at Eastbourne, where dogs
are not allowed to bark without owners
being fined, there is a bylaw requiring
women to wear suitable skirts, and it
Is rgidly enforced.
Skirts are seen only occasionally at
Margate, but at Cliftonville. near by,
skirts are favored.

Now Rluehcrrx Varieties

Biueberry patches. which used to be
50 numerous and so large that they were
nuisance to the farmer, have dwindled
until the hlueberry is no more to be had
Tor the picking and is fast becoming
, luxury. says the New York Herald.
The beneficent United States govern
ment has recommended that it be cuIti-
Vated and has for several years been ex-
pefimenting with the propagation and i'm
proVement of the blueberry
Frederic V. Colville. who has been in
eharge OF the work. has issued a little
bulletin OF directions for blueberry eul-
ture for the announcement of persons in
terested in the culture of this fruit.
The blueberry plant will not thrive in
rich garden soil. 1t needs an avid SOIL
mixture of sand and peat but must
have good drainage.
Even the swamp blneberry does not
want soggy soil. Where IL grows wild
in swampy places it builds up hummoelS
or cushion of moss which rises above the
summer water level and within which The
feeding roots of the bush are closely in
terlaeed.
The only commercial plantation of blue
berries N existence is one near Elkhart,
Ind, which has been in existence about
q years. 1t has been profitable from the
first, the net profits last year having been
S127 an acre. This plantation was started
with unsolicited Wild blueberry bushes.
Mr.. Colvle observes that with bushes
propaSated from selected stocks the yield
should be greater and the berries much
larger. the greater size probably effecting
Il reduction in the cost of picking and
certainly an increase in the selling price.
In series of experiments, involving
the selection of superior and wild strains,
the growing of hybrids and the forcing
of choice varieties to quick fruiting by
building them on strong seeding stocks,
berries 11-16 of an inch in diameter have
already been produced.
