NEWEST BATHING
COSTUMES DE LUKE

Once upon a time the bathing costume
was a thing Of universal similarity and
ugiiness- But that seems far cry to
the elaborate dress called q bathing cos
tune today. Puffs and panniers. sashes
and rufies, picot edgings and tunic
blouses are but . few Of the features OF
the new beach costumes. Satins. taf-
fetas, tricots and foulard in stripes and
plaids and Powered designs have replaced
the plain serges and nannels. and it-is
quite evident that the bathing costume Of
today is constructed with more considera-
tion and thought given to Its becoming
ness than to its usefulness.
The colors. too, are bright and gay.
Roman striped taffeta- tunics are seen
over black knickers. with a striped sash
tied in a butterfly bow just above the
knees-do you think by any manner of
miracle one could swim in such a cos
tune?
Combinations of color-tunic and waist
of one color and knickers Of another are
often seen. One moss green bathing dress
has slightly buffant drapery over the hips
and the skirt slit partly up the front, so
that II reveals the full white silk knickers
beneath as the weRrer walks.
There is no longer a smart bathing suit
with defined waistline. Just as in the
frocks OF the moment, so in the bathing
dresses, the waist is an adjustable affair
20 be located anywhere one pleases.
And the waterproof accessories! There
are waterproof stockings with q very
wide, strong mesh: waterproof toques and
turbins OF vivid silks. with elegant ribbon
trimmings: wonderful waterproof round
garters all scalloped and daintily frilled.
As for slippers! Those for the ballroom
are not more elaborate. Gold and silver
and other metallic tissues are used, as
well as handsome brocades. while for the
satin and taffeta costumes there are shoes
to match In color and material Twenty
five to fifty dollars is often spent on a
bathing outfit.

DAILY HOROSCOPE.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE "a, 1914.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE -, l3IA.
THE stars incline. but do not compel"
Astrologers read this as not an auspi-
cious day. since both Jupiter and Mars
are mildly adverse.
The aspect Is held to have a tendency
to produce extremes Of feeling, and for
that reason self-control in all emotions
and appetites is counseled. The infiu-
ences are conducive, the seer believe. to
overindulgence In eating. drinking and
whatever contribute to physical ease or
enjoyment
While Mars exercises evil power, dis
putes and controversies should be avoid
ed. as the temper is likely to be irritable
and hasty. Unwise speech Is common un-
der this conhguration.
This is not an auspicious time for deal
ings with persons. who are concerned
with machinery. Engineers. contractors
and dealers In iron and steel will not
under this astral rule, IL ancient lore Is
to be believed.
Lawyers, bankers. brokers and wooden
merchants are subject to an unlucky
government of the stars today.
Athletes should be particularly careful,
lest they overdo. The influences tend
TO exhaustion and unwise use Of strength.
There Is also danger OF bad Judgment
in any test Of skill
There is a prophesy that science will
announce startling discoveries in the
realm of occult phenomena and that in
terest in s( mat pertains to psychic
conditions Viii be stimulated to an ex-
traodinary degree. Astrology will gain
students everywhere. the seers predict.
Mars in the ascendant at Berlin. Vienna,
Rome and Constantlnope is interpreted
as a forewarning Of great anxieties All
difficulties for four European powe }.
OF these Italy Is said to be most strongly
menaced.
While war is threatened in various
countries the peace movement will make
tremendous gains, II is predicted Arbi-
tration will win converts in places where
militarism has its strongholds.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is have a
lucky omen. They win have success and
happiness, II they do not make changes
in their mode Of life or business occu-
pations.
Children born on this day will make
good progress in education and business.
As subjects of Concer and with the Moon

to be retrospective and sensitive. The

fact that the styles are to be found at
q certain establishment far ahead Of the
season Is an advertisement worth realiz-
fng. In other words, there are early
summer days.
The woman who has the talent for
dress has a wonderful opportunity this
season to show her ability. Perhaps
marked down from $50 to $40 After a
prolonged inspection Of the fashions, as
seen in the shops or in the street. or in
the fashion papers, she can with the aid
of a good seamstress and the careful Sc
lection Of materials-of which latter, far
more than the former. there IL an end
less stock to select from-turn out most
charming gowns At a small cost. Never
was there such attractive frabrics to be
had at such small cost and the rather
vague lines of the draped effects can far
more easily be attained than can the
simpler. more severe lines that were the
only alternative for so long a time.
Foulards, soft silks and satins, in every
color Of the rainbow. are TO be had al
most for the asking. while the endless
variety Of low-priced SUMMER materials Is
extraordinary. II is not guaranteed that
these materials will wear forever. For
the present uncertainty as to what fash
Ion is to impose upon her followers. It is
not demanded that al wool and yard
wide be purchased whenever a gown Is
TO be made. Variety is the spice OF life
so far as dress Is concerned in these
days
Ready made clothes Of every descrip-
tion are now exhibited everywhere. and
at a cost that is very low when the
amount Of work necessary to turn them
out is considered While among them
are bargains, there also are many things
which are not bargains at all, made of
poor. slimsy material and badly made
at that. The cheap hats that melt II
wet with rain. the gaudy flowers that
fade at the first touch of sun, are not
bargains, and are avoided by the good
shopper. incidentally the woman who
dresses on bargains, and dresses well,
avoids them as she would the plague.
One gown at the price OF four Is to. her
Q bargain, and she knows what she is
talking about.

HOUSEWIVES Daily Economy Calenda,
Hot Weather Care of the Hair.
By FRANCES MARSHALL.

At night in very warm weather let the
hair down at least half an hour before
going to sleep, and sit by an open win
dow with the hair streaming over the
back Of q chair. Shake the locks well
in the breeze and dust with powdered
orris root, or in the case Of light hair.
with scented talcum powder. This dries
out the perspiration OF the day and cools
the head for sleeping.
Fasten the hair in two braids, each
well over toward the ear. SO that the
air can get to the back Of the scalp.
One girl who takes pride in looking as
well when she retires as she does during
the day, ties her hair with a bow Of the
most supple satin ribbon in her favoriie
color. This does not break the hair and
keeps 1t from getting unbraided and
snarled while she is asleep. In tying
the ends Of the braids, do not turn them
up. This causes the hair to split.

SOLDIERS IN BATTLE.
Shading M~otionisss Under Fire 10 .
Most Terrifying Ordeal.

Every one of us must have won
dered how he would feel in battle
for the first time. We may get
some idea of how the average man
feels under such circumstances from
a study of the psychology Of battle,
published in Italy. Lieutenant Colo
mel Mangiarotti of the Seventy-sev-
enth infantry carefully examined
more than 1000 soldiers who first
faced fire in the wal between Italy
and Turkey, and he summarizes
their statements in the Rivista Mill
tare. He questioned them n by
one.
Out of 1000 men 1,700 confessed
that their most trying moment in
the whole campaign was when they
first heard hostile bullets whistle
about their ears. But almost all of
them said they were much less
frightened than they had expected
to be and that the scare diminished
with each battle.
The average soldier finds the
most terrifying position to be that
of standing motionless in the front
rank, exposed to the enemy's fire
without being able to reply. The
order to advance or to charge with
fixed bayonets is then received as a
release from agony. Movement,
even into greater peril, distracts the
mind and greatly reduces the men
tai anguish.
Soldiers are seriously affected by
the trembling of their superiors.
An officer who shakes in his shoes
is a coward in the eyes of the rank
and file, although the men know
that many military heroes-Henri
w., Turenne and Frederick the
Great, for instance-trembled on
going into a fight.
Colonel Mangiarotti says that Of
fcers must understand this feeling.
This is especially true for lieuten-
ants, for this inquiry reveals the
fact that n battle all officers from
captains upward are nonexistent SO
far as the common soldiers are con-
cerned. They keep their eyes on
their lieutenants exclusively. This
IA brought out when Colonel Man
giarotti asked the men what senti-
ment animated them when the bull
lets we're falling all around them
was it love of country, religion,
their oath of fidelity to their king?
81 went ahead" they replied al
most unanimously, because my
lieutenant went ahead"
1t seems that once the battle is
on and the first feeling of terror
has vanished soldiers feel as if set
free. The fever of combat takes
possession of them, and they think
about nothing else.

Vary Old Custom.

The custom of saying "God bless
you" to a person when he sneezes
originated among the ~ancients, who,
fearing danger from it, after sneez-
ing made a short prayer to the gods,
as "Jupiter, help me-" The custom
is mentioned by Homer, the Jewish
rabbis and others. Polydore vergil
says it took its rise at the time OF
the plague in $50, when the infect
ed fell dead, ~sneesing, though sp-
parently in health.
