The Washington herald., 1914-06-21

IT Is doubtful If there is any summer
pleasure that appeals more to
the normal boy than the dip into
the sea. Here is a suit especially
designed for that amusement and
which can be made from flannel, serge
or any similar material. 1t is a very
simple suit with body and leg portions
in one and it can be made just as
illustrated, in real athletic style, or
with short sleeves and rolled-over
collar. The suit is a very simple one.

it is closed with a few buttons and

reliable pattern. It IS also pos
sible to combine comfort and
elegance.
Care should be taken with the
choice Of material. II must b.
fit for salt water use. Also it
should not cling tooclosely when
wet. Wonderful silks and satins
are now to be had in blues. black
and browns. There are also
some beautiful two-toned taf-
fetas. But mohair is always ser
viceable, and, in good quality.
both handsome and durable.
Silk trimming, Of course.
gives tone and variety to a COS
tune. The Roman-striped va
rieties now in vogue are most
effective for wear on the beach.
But it is better to buy ribbon in
preference to piece silk, for it
has the advantage Of a selvage
edge, and, moreover, can be
bought in more exact quanti-
ties, consequently being more
economical.
The cap should be also in har.
mony with the color scheme Of
the suit. Rubber caps can be
had in any shade, but one Of
the same material as the cos
tune is prettier. especially when
trimmed with one Of the ribbon
ties.
This gown features the two
tier skirt, which is excellently
adapted for wear on the beach.
1t, too, is Of dark satin, relieved
by striped silk. and the cap is
particularly dainty. The silk is
drawn in folds around the head.
finishing in a button in front.
This suit is very easy to make
with the aid Of a pattern, as
there is practically no fitting
to be done. Also. it Is mex
pensive. If satin is used, as in
the model shown here, ~ yards
of s6-inch wide goods will be
sufficient. Using mohair. a
inches wide. az yards will be
ample. Roman-striped ribbon
here supplies the collar. sleeve
edging and tunic. all Of which
will need not more than 3K
yards Of o-ineh wide silk. OF
course, it IS quite possible to
omit the little tunic entirely.
thus lessening the cost. The
suit may be worn over woven
tights. but preferably with
bloomers Of its own goods.
The Washington herald., 1914-06-21
1885

This suit includes a two-piece skirt
that can be made open or closed at
the sides but. as open effects make a
feature Of the season, it is especially
to be noted. The blouse is simple
one with prettily shaped sleeves and
the bloomers are dart fitted. conse-
quently. perfectly smooth over the
hips. This suit is made Of black satin
and trimmed with white and is ex-
tremely effective. Dark blue is liked
and brown and tan are used and, now
and then, lighter and brighter oolors.

THIS very attractive, smart little
bathing suit is also one Of the
most practical possible. The
blouse and skirt are joined to make
a complete dress and the bloomers
are attached to an under body, 50
that either one or the other can be
used separately and a good many
girls will like the dress over tights

CHAPTER VI.
Mad Anthony.

Beyond the selvage Of the sleepy
leaf-sheltered village a cherry Dor
dered lane met the Red Road. On its
one side was a clovered pasture and
beyond this an orchard, bounded by a
tall hedge of close-clipped box which
separated 1t from a broad yard where
the gray-weathered roof of Rosewood
showed above a group Of tulip and
catalpa trees. On the sunny steps a
lop-eared puppy was playing with a
notified cat.
The front door was open, showing a
hall where stood grandfather's clock
and spindle-legged table holding a
bowl of potpourri. The timepiece had
landed from sailing vessel at James
town wharf with the household goods
of that English Garland who had
adopted the old Middle Plantation
when Dunmore was royal governor I'M
der George III. Framed portraits and
engravings lent tints of furnished sill
yer, old-rose and sunset-golds-colors
time-toned and reminiscent carrying a
charming sense Of peaceful content, Of
gentleness and long tradition. The
dark polished stairway had at its turn
a square dormcr-window which looked
out upon one of the rose-arbors.
Down this stair, somewhat later that
afternoon, came Shirley cambridge,
booted and spurred. the rebellious
whorls OF her russell hair now as close
1y filleted as Greek boys, in a short
divided skirt Of yew-green and a cool
white blouse and swinging by its rib
bon q green hat whose rolling brim
was caught up at one side by crisp
blue-black hawks feather. She stopped
to peer out OF the dormer-window to
where, under the latticed weave Of
bloom beside q round iron table hold
ing a hoop OF embroidery and a book
or two lady sat reading.
The lady's hair was silver. but not
with age. II had been SO for many
years, refuted by the transparent skin
and a color as soft as the cheek of an
apricot. It was solely In her dark
eyes, deep and strangely luminous,
that one might see lurking the SOM
Der spirit Of passion and Of pain. But
they were eager and brilliant withal,
giving the lie to the cane whose crook
one pale delicate hand held with q
clasp that somehow conveyed a sense
OF exasperate II semi-humorous re-
bellion.
She looked up at shiriey's voice. and
smiled brightly. "on for your ride.

lofty independence they seemed to
revel in In that town.

have those, unless we are most unhap-
by. whom we care to please, whose
smile, whose word of approval lightens

CHAPTER v.-contlnued.

The girl walked on up the highway
with a lifting stride, now and then
laughing to herself, or running a few
steps, occasionally stopping by some
hedge to pull leaf which she rubbed
against her cheek. smelling its keen
new scent, or stopping to gaze out
across the orange-green belts of sun
ny wind-dimpled fields, one hand push
ing back her mutinous hair from her
brow. the other shielding her eyes.
Farther on the highroad looped around
a strip Of young forest, and she struck
into this for short cut. In the depth
she sat down to rest on the sun
splashed roots Of tree. Leaning back
against the scanned trunk. her felt hat
fallen to the ground, she looked like
some sea-woman emerging from an
earth-hued pool to comb her hair
against a dappled rock.
She drew back against the tree and
caught her breath as bulldog frisked
over a messy boulder just in front of
her.
A moment more and she had thrown
herself on her knees with both arms
outstretched. "Oh. you splendid crea-
ture!" she cried. you big. lovely
white darling!"
The dog seemed In no way averse to
this sensational proceeding. He re-
sponded instantly not merely with tail
wagging, but with ecstatic grunts and
growls. Where did you come from?"
she questioned, as his pink tongue
struggled desperately to find a cheek
through the whorl of coppery hair.
why. you must be the one was told
not to be afraid Of"
She petted and fondled the smooth
intelligent muzzle. LAS II any one
could be afraid Of you! Well set your
master right on that point" Smiling
to herself, she pulled one of the roses
from her belt, and twisting wisp Of
long grass, wound 1t round and round
the dogs neck and thrust the ragged
rose-stem firmly through 1t. Nov"
she said, and pushed him gently from
her, go back, sir!"
He whined and licked her hand, but
when she repeated the command, he
turned obediently and left her. A lit
tie way from her he halted, with a
sudden perception of mysterious pun
ishment, shrugged, sat down, and tried
to reach the irksome grass-wisp with
his teeth. This failing, he rolled Ia
boriously In the dirt.
Then he rose, cast a reproachful
glance behind him. and trotted OF.
