Bathing Wraps

One seldom sees ut the American
summer resorts bathing wraps thrown
over the bathing suit when the wearer
descends 10 or energies from the sea.
Those worn abroad. where it is consid-
cred the absolutely correct thing, are
quito rs effective as the bathing suits
themselves. and change in fashion each
season This year at the fashionable
watering places in France and Belgium
tho bathing suit is covered by a gar
ment that resembles "a mans dressing
gown. Made from large loud -striped
material. they have enormous collars
and cuffs of the same soft spongy ma
terial with which tho garment is lined.
These garments are worn to the
waters edge, then removed by the
waiting maid, or are hung over the
life rope or given into the keeping Of
friends safely cnsconed under the
bright-hued parasols planted in the
sands; Madame. or mademoiselle, in n
trim little bathing suit, often terribly
s sm,n,,, to An american Ti. eyes, then hops
does she emerge than the coat Ia
donned. There Is hardly time to note
that she seldom wears stockings and
that her pretty satin sandals arc laced
over bare legs. She seldom fingers
on the beach as her American sister
does
Hero the bathing suits contain more
material and stockings are more gen.
orally worn. and all sorts OF amusing
novelties are introduced during the
season.

Fall Suit Features

It's time to think OF tho fall

it. and great decisions must be made
regarding material, lines and decora-
ton There have been made decided
changes In suits that VIII radically
stamp suit as OF the new season.
Coats will be longer. especially at tho
back. The cutaway lire with n three

been accorded high favor.
In front there Is great opportunity
for decoration. and the most notice
able feature Is the waistcoat This

but It gives a note of color to a Jacket
and allows OF SO many novel touches
that It virtually makes the coat. The
waistcoats are OF satin, all corded

trimmings Of buttons are the decora-
tive features, and a smoothness of 1e

The wastcoats of those fall suits
have square, pointed and crossed tops,
with inset crossed revers of lace and
satin and MORE collars. Pockets ara

On the fall suits there will be used

POOR MANAGEMENT

Another indication of the maner in which the Pacific Coast Steamship company con- siders the wishes and business of this region was given last night when the Curacao ar rived here with not a stateroom or berth available for passen- gers from this port. About a year ago one of the officials of the company said to the Miner Man that he couldn't under stand why the people of this region "had soured on the Pa cific Coast company" If he had been on the wharf with about 3 dozen people waiting to go north on the steamer and fore cd 10 wait over, he might have drawn his own conclusion as to the cause of large part Of the "souring."
