comes down over ears and neck and ties around the chin. The real swimmer, however, usually scorns these trifling head coverings which do not-even the best of them keep the hair dry, and protects her tresses with an ordinary diving cap of gum rubber, knotting over this a square of silk tied as tightly as pos sible. Most women will risk the chance of slight headache rather than a chance of soaked hair with the en- suing bother of rinsing and drying Some of the smartest women at Palm Beach-those who went in bathing for swimming's sake-tied over their rubber diving caps large triangles of firmly woven taffeta silk in some gor- geous color-not plain red or blue or green, but some rare shade of cerise, magenta. pansy purple or blood orange arranging the silk triangle so that a straight edge encircled face and brow and two crisp ends fluttered from knot behind one ear. This gave very gypsish effect that was charming.
 Silk stockings are almost impera- tive with the bathing suit; if one wishes to look smart and well-cos- tuned. Only the best quality should be purchased, for thin, poor silk stockings will soon go to pieces in the sole and show unsightly Jacobs lad ders' in the leg portion. Most women will see the good sense of providing good silk hose for bathing wear, even if cheaper ones must be purchased for

 kW the bathing suit is only one item RI of smart swimming regalia.
 Without it's correct accompani- ment of silk hosiery. satin slippers. CO., quettish hat, beach parasol and reti- cule, the bathing suit alone would cut a sorry figure on the sands. Imagine even the most arresting bathing suit, worn with ordinary black cotton stock ings, perhaps owning to a pebble-worn hole in the heel and a red cotton ban danna twisted around the head to keep the hair in placei Half of the effect would be lost.
 First in importance comes the bath ing cap which is as telling an acces- sorry with the swimming costume as Paris chapeau ever was with formal promenade costume. Bathing caps have become marvellous things in the last season or two. The very latest style is not cap at all, but shady brimmed hat that shades the face be- comingly and incidentally prevents the sun from blistering charming nose. At Palm Beach this season these bath ing hats were the rage. Some of them. made of rubberized silk in soft, gay colors, had shirred crowns which fitted over the head closely and wide wire- bound brims which might be drawn down, mushroom fashion or curled dashingly up at one side in sombrero effect A big bow of the rubberized silk completed the graceful outline of the hat. Another style was the Mexi- can hat, with straight, broad brim and high, peaked crown. These hats were worn tipped back on tn head and fringed streamers of rubber fell down the back. Becoming as they are, these new bathing hats do not wreck the bank account like millinery for more formal occasions; a wide-brim- med hat in either of the styles de- scribed may be had for about two dollars.
 Caps cost even less-a ravishingly becoming cap of silk or rubberized cloth may be had for less than dol lar, some as low as half that price, and these caps have all sorts of odd and original shapes The Dutch style is becoming to some faces; others arc suited by a closer cap without tho frill and side-rosettes of the Dutch model There are Turks caps, too. with a rubber tassel bobbing at the top, and a new shape called the aviator cap has a very practical extension which

ionable as they were and one is likely to see many colors on the sands this summer; but 1t should be remembered that dyes are very scarce-good dyes especially-and the most charming bathing suit Is likely to lose it's charm in the water. unless one has paid substantial price for it's fabric. Most women look better, also, in dark bath ing dresses-for as rule it is wise to make one's self inconspicuous whom in costume as doubtfully becoming as a bathing suit.
 What the Good Swimmer Chooses.
 The woman who goes in for swim ming for the pure sport of 1t as an exercise, spends little thought on the cut or the color of her bathing suit. Her chief consideration is It's virtue as swimming garment. Will it shed water easily? Does it weigh heavily when wet? Will it hamper and im- pede the movements of the limbs? These are the things she Is interested in. There is nothing like tunic suit of jersey cloth for swimming, but only the slight, rather undeveloped figure looks we'll in one of these clinging jersey garments. The chemise-7ike

use with longer froclxs. If bathing slippers are worn, a pair of first Qual- ity silk stockings should last well through the bathing season; but after every dip in the sea the stockings must be carefully rinsed and hung to dry in the shade.
 The most becoming bathing shoes lace we'll above tho ankle. They may be had in satin and In canvas. There are various sorts of bathing slippers, some with a buttoned strap, others with long ribbons that lace around the ankle. These look very smart On the board floor of the bathing pavilion but when filled with wet sand they lose their trim daintiness and good shape. Women who swim well refuse to hamper the feet with bathing shoes at all and plunge into tho water stocking clad. Last summer heelless black kid boudoir slippers with pom pon on the toe were worn from bath house to edge of water and left on the sand with other shore belongings during the morning dip. Very likely the custom will prevail again this year for the idea was practical one

tunic cut off four or five inches above the knee and worn, unbelted above black swimming tights is a most com fortable affair to swim in, but it also is only for 1.-the and lissome young fig ures. There are many admirable fea- lures about the good swimming cos- tune worn by the girl leaning on a canoe paddle. The tunic should be becoming to any average figure and combination of tunic and full bloom CTS is perfectly modest and proper be- cause it is well adapted for the sport to which it belongs. This bathing suit is of blue salt water satin with pipings of blue and rose satin.
 A Bathing Cape Imperative This Year.
 To be thoroughly smart, this sea- son, you must own a beach wrap, i. e., voluminous cape of silk or some other fabric which may be caught up carelessly and gracefully for the run

and the slippers added finish to the costume as well as protection to the silk stockings while sands and rough boards were crossed.
 It is always we'll to have wrap of some sort waiting on the sands for one is apt to become shivery even in the warm sun if there is any sitting about in a wet bathing suit. The bath ing cape, made of heavy silk or Terry cloth is fashions pronouncement @of exclusive style in this matter; but girls of the athletic type rejoice in warm, woody sweaters which are costly comfortable over wet bathing suit.

BLACK AND WHITE FOR THE
 DINNER TABLE.

~ HE fancy for magpie decoration
 seems to have no end. Now the - hostess Is bedecking her table for smart luncheon or exclusive dinner with black and white decorations. In the center of the snowy cloth is a low bowl of black glass on whose edge teeter two tiny white birds. From the black glass fower-holder in the center of the bowl rise three vivid red roses. Candlesticks of black glass support shades of black and white striped paper. Low dishes also of black glass. contain ruby red jelly and little red candies. Or the color scheme may have a note of orange instead of red. with flaming double tulips in the centerpiece, and amber jelly and can dies in the little glass dishes.

 Every bathing suit case is stocked with its kit of vanity belongings which include cold cream. sunburn lotion and plenty of talcum powder--a great shaker-top can fun of talcum to be sprinkled all over the body to make clothing slip on easily after the salt water bath. The reticule, carried out on the sands may have its smaller vanity kit bit of face powder to dab on a sunburned nose; tiny jar ok cold cream to rub into arms and neck so that the sun may not burn into the epidermis. a dry pocket handkerchief to mop salt water out of one's eyes and. above all, a small mir TOT so one can see what the wild waves have done to ones appearance.

OPENING OF SCHOOLS
 DEFERRED UNTIL SEPT. 18 Also a New Teacher Hired At Special
 Board Meeting.

There was a special meeting of the school board in the town hall Friday evening to take action on the ad- visibility of postponing the opening of the schools. Among those present were Health OfAcer c. A. Jenkins, E. A. Case, principal of the high school, and Henry T. Burr, principal of the state normal school.
 Miss Edith M. Gavitson of Brooklyn, N. Y, who has been teaching school in Stanford. Conn.,, during the summer was hired to teach the kindergarten at a salary of $500.
 As Harold $. Main would be unable to take the enumeration of the town schools, Earl Haling was appointed in his stead.
 Upon application Dr. F. N. Smith was appointed school physician at a salary of $400.
 Those that have acted on the night school committee were again appoint ed. They are H. Dion, chairman, Mrs. Katherine J. Spaulding and Robert H. Fenton.
 Mir Burdick, who is chairman of the school committee in the town of GriswoId requested to purchase about twenty five or thirty of the books on the preparation for the high school as used by the local committee. It was voted that these books should L.. sold at q price agreed upon by sec- retary and the school committee.
 In giving his advice on the closing of the schools, Dr. Jenkins stated that he had been given the power by the health board to do as he saw fit in the matter. The doctor stated that as two more of the cases which have proved fatal, have come to light dur ing the last two days he thought it desirable to keep the schools closed until the 18th of this month. Children would no doubt come into the city anyway, said the doctor, but it would only hurt matters to have them con- gregate in a classroom. The state board of health has notified him that the crisis in the epidemic will come about the middle of September, so in order to be on the safe side in the matter it was decided that if any, thing should turn up before the 18th the school openings may be post poned until latter. The high school is included in this decision.
 Principal Burr stated that the rule would only affect the model which comes under his jurisdiction.
 It was also decided on a, motion by c. c. Case that the teachers should report for duty on September fifth as called for in their contracts.
 Upon a motion brought forth by the secretary last nights meeting ended the fiscal school year. This was done as it is necessary to get all the re- ports in as soon as possible.
