Bathing
Suits
By Rita Stuyvesant.

by hlCa SCuyV6SdnL'
. HEsE hot, scorching days have
brought out a host OF bath
i ers, and the water is actual
" crowded with those seeking re-
relief from the heat And IL you
happen to glance around you will
ind a change in the bathing suits.
They are even more simple than
formerly and tend toward conser-
walton of material
Wool jersey is replaced by cot
ton goods and still made up into
very attractive suits Trimmed
with contrasting colors, these smart
suits can be made at home by the
lady of ingenious fingers"
Navy blue cotton jersey was re-
Gently seen al fashionable resort
and was combined with bright
green. It was cut IN one piece,
reaching a little above the knee.
and was sleeveless. Of course.
There was a broad belt of the green
at either side, leaving an open panel
both front and back. The bottom,
too, had broad bands of the green
at the sides. The armholes were
bound and there was = novel round
roll collar.
To make the collar, cut q double
bias strip about three inches wide
and long enough to go around the
neck. Carefully stitch this collar
to the round neck and it will roll
very prettily.
Instead of bloomers, there are
short. straight pants" stitched to
the suit, making 1t a -step-in"
model and not a slip-on as was gem
orally accepted last season. These
new ~pants" show for a few inches
below the skirt and are quite mar
row. Besides being very comfort
able, these new "sewed-in pants"
are extremely practical, doing away
with strings. buttons, etc, and you
can enjoy the water with perfect
confidence that no embarrassing &C
cident Will befaI you
For those who do not favor the
Jersey, there is surf-satin in a num-
ber of desirable shades, although
sea blue is very popular. Tafeta,
satin, and brilliantine AFFORD a good
choice OF materials
A very simple model for a youth
full figure can also be cut in one
piece, tapering up to the shoulders.
A deep V-neck both front and back
is then formed. A novel finish may
be had by binding the neck and
armholes with bias tape of a wash
able satin
A big initial of the satin stitched
directly in front gives n smart touch
and, II you can boast Of a good fig
ure. a broad sash also Of the satin
could be wrapped around the figure
twice and tied in back But IL you
are Inclined to plumpness, omit the
sash. Pants are stitched inside this
suit for convenience, but instead OF
hanging below the skirt, they are
extremely short, like boys trunks.
Bathing socks" generally accom-
pany this kind OF a suit.
II you want to look smart at the
beach this summer, and be cool and
comfortable as well. make one of
these new models. Only three yards
of material are needed and at this
late season many bargains may be
picked up in remnants.

HOW the WICKED BlAnIess
had put q sleeping powder
IN the milk. which made the little
bear. the monkey and the pig fall
asleep. And then how she had tried
to kill Puss with her big knife.
and she would have II he hadn'.
touched her with his magic feather
and turned her into q statue.
Well. there she sat at the head Of
the table, a great stone figure. with
the big knife raised In her hand
And at the other end OF the table
sat the Giant himself smoking his
great pipe with hls feet up on q
chair. But he didn't shy . word
to Puss.
Perhaps he was afraid he might
be changed into q stone image, or
perhaps II was the first time In his
life that he really felt at home in
his castle, for a little bird who has
her nest just under his window told
me that his wife had always ruled
him with a rod OF iron and had
made his life perfectly miserable
ever since he had slipped the gold
wedding ring. which was as big a.
a bracelet. over her little finger
And now I'll tell you what Puss
did after he was certain that the
giantess was really turned into
stone He went over to the little
bear and touched him with his
his magic feather. But. oh dear me-
The little bear didn't wake up at
all He just kept on sleeping away
as peacefully as you please And
when Puss touched the monkey. and
the pig, they didn't wake up either.
You see the magic feather had only
the power to turn people into seUne
or wood. and sometimes into asneS
But it couldn't bring them out OF
a spell.
goodness mer" said Puss to him
self, what shall I do?" And just
than. all of q sudden. the poll par
rot, who had warned him OF the
wicked giantess In two or three
stories ago, came into the dining
room. And when she saw what was
the trouble she perched herself on
the head Of the stone giantess and
said:
'You must find a gold star flower
In the fairies shady dell.
With It touch your friends who
slumber
And they'll waken from the spell
SHOW me the way" cried Pusa
FOLLOW me-" said the kind parrot.
and they tiptoed out OF the castle.
for the big giant had fallen asleep
by this time.
Well. by and by. not so very far.
Puss and the parrot came to the
fairy dell, and after looking here
and there and everywhere Puss sud
denly spied the little gold star
flower. And as soon as he had
picked 1t. he started back for the
castle as fast as he could run But.
oh, dear me. Just as he entered the
courtyard he saw the giant carry
ing his wife in his arms over to the
great fountain. But the giant paid
no attention to Puss. He set his pig
stone wife down on the pavement
close to the marble fountain. where
the little goldfish swan about all
day long. and then he sat down on
a bench and smoked another pipe
OF tobacco.
So Puss ran into the castle and
touched his little friends with the
gold star flower. and Immediately
they awoke from their deep sleep.
And next time TIL tell you what
they did after that

= + you want to perform q real
service for the wounded boys
why not prepare yourself for
growing profession - occupational
therapy?
Strictly speaking. It IL not new
one, for there have been specialists
In this field for ave years But the
consequences Of war are making II
q growing and important neld.
especially suitable for women
What is "occupational therapyT
Simply put, It is the treatment OF
patients and convalescents by
means Of some occupation suited to
their condition Enforced idleness
which illness brings makes Tor
fretting, nervousness and thus re-
tards recovery. But IL patient
has something to do, II whiles away
the hours for. him, occupies MS
mind SO that he thinks less OF his
ailIng condition. and in this way
recovery Is FASTENED
But the art lies in giving patients
the kim. of work they do without
strain. which will really engage
their interest Especially in the
case of those who are nervously
sick. or suffer from shock. seem
suitable occupation with the hands
has a tranQuilizing influence, hich
Is Of wonderful benent in facilitat-
ing recovery.
Before the war occupational ther-
any was a beginning science. But
Il is growing tremendously in value
now that we are preparing to care
for many thousands of wounded or
helpless men. The blind. the men
tally incapacitated, those MANNED
permanently. are forgetting their
afYliction while conValescinB
through some hospital-taught occu-
patton. weaving, WOODWORK
stringwork, basketry. bookbinding'
metal work. paper and plastic Work
are a few of the occupations which
can be taught the patient In use
full diversions OF this kind they
forget pain, they lose their despon-
dency and get new hope for their
future.
In some of the New York Hos
pitfalls volunteer workers are teach
ing handicrafts to convalescent pa
tients- In Philadelphia a school OF
occupational therapy Is oelnS
planned by the National League Tor
Women's Service where a course OF
training will be given those VINO
wish to equip themselves Tor Ihe
work
There are many excellent books
on the subject, such as "occupa-
ton Therapy," manua IoI
Nurses, by DIR. william r Dunton;
Studies in Invalid Occupation oy
Susan z. Tracy.
uccupational therapy does not
always mean the teaching OF
handicrafts. In some cases TINS Is
inadvisable, and reading or menta
diversion, like puzzlesS games
etc, are more desirable for the
particular patient. But TINS de-
pends on the discretion OF the oc-
cupational nurse.
Many trained nurses incTude
course of occupational therapy IN
their training and several OF the
training schools and hospitals nave
lectures on the subject in thelr
regular course.
However, 1t is not necessary 10
be a trained nurse in order TO per-
form this service. In fact many
women who have the desire ana
sympathy to be nurses but are
debarred by physical reasons couio
make themselves useful in the tlelo

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

DEAR MISS FAlRFA8:
am eighteen and for a year
have been corresponding with a
young man now, in the service.
He has been a close friend OF
the family for years. Our let
ters became very interesting
and affectionate. A couple of
months ago he was on a long
furIough, called to see me often
and we grew very fond of each
other. had not one thing
against him, in fact, thought
him almost perfect, his actions
toward myself, mother and
sisters were beyond reproach,
until a few days ago he called.
and to my astonishment 1 de-
tected the odor Of liquor on him
and very soon found out that
he had some with him
This sickened me SO that l
wrote and told him ! would have
nothing more TO do with him
Since then he has begged me to
forgive him, as he loves me
dearly and was so sorry to have
caused me one moments uphap-
piness. Now, think a great
deal OF this young man and want
to ask you this question: Shall
] give him another chance?"
MADELINE.
"Of course, give him another
chance. First OF all ii isn't fair to
condemn anybody for one mistake
or to refuse him the chance to
make good. Perhaps IL you deny
this young man his opportunity
you will actually drive him deep
er into the throes of his bad habit
OF course, / would never want any
woman to marry a man who was a
slave to the drink habit: and no
girl who has seen the sorrow drink
can bring into a home would risk

quer his tempter. Why. not help
him, my dear? Continue your
friendship. Some day, when you

A Song
By CLAUDIA CRANSTON.

By CLAUDIA CRANSTON.
From Good Housekeeping for August.
1 must make my mourning
Over into song;
To the one who left me
Mourning would be wrong.
Mourning would be wrong.
Work must be my grieving,
Smiles the, only sign;
Weeping were unworthy
Such loss as mine,
Such a loss as mine,
Work must be my worship,
Cheerfulness my prayers;
Less would be unfaithful
To the one who dares,
To the one who dares,
Spirit his to chide me
We're my laughter fled,
Though l found his body
Lying with the dead,
Lying with the dead,
Work must be my grieving,
Love must hide my loss,
Still, my lips be smiling
When they kiss the Cross,
When they kiss the Cross.
