The nerves of the body are not
unlike the telegraph system at the
Front. The millions of nerve fila
ments are like a network of wires
that keep all the trenches in close
sympathy and communion. Food
supplies and reinforcements are dis
patched here and there and so the
nerves send increased blood and
nour7shment where it is most re-
CURED. The nerve cells guide the
heart and stomach. By this means
the stream of blood laden with nour-
lshment is sent to every part of
the body.
So it is that the blood feeds the
nerves. If blood is impoverished. we

SANE BATHING SUITS
RULE FOR WOMEN

HROGRESS in swimming for a
woman depends largely upon
the saneness Of her dress.
From the very nature of the sport
simplicity and brevity of costume are
required. Fancy headgear. elaborate
suits and corsets Of any variety are
impossible for the woman who wants
10 swim and to get either enjoyment
or benefit from the pastime.
The fiuffiest girl is satisfied to do
ter hair up plainly and pull down
a derby or an uncompromising stiff
trimmed sailor hat well over her head
when horseback riding. On the ten
MS court or golf links she appears In
heelless sport shoes, than which moth
ing makes a woman's feet and ankles
more ugly. She has even in the last
two summers donned the homely drab
garden costume OF baggy boomers
and smock. But when she prepares
for the surf a bit of feminine per-
yersity overrides her common sense
and she cannot resist the impulse to
doll up"
The longer a woman has practised
swimming the less she Is likely to
wear in the water, and the simpler
her garments will be. In number
they will be two: a wooden one piece
suit, virtually the same as q mans
suit, to which will be sewed the stock
ings and light weight over slip
preferably of silk or satin.
BODILY Freedom Needed.
No woman who really swims wears
corset. and the sooner the amateur
dscards her stays the quicker she
will gain in confidence. The very
first time she enters the water without
corset she will notice the improve
ment in her breathing and a buoyancy
the body can never have when en-
veoped in any restricting garment.
The woman whose figure has be-
come so soft that she thinks 1t I'M
possible to leave off her corsets Is the
very one who Is most in need Of the
exercise to be gained through proper
swimming. The one piece suit OF
heavy wooden jersey cloth gives one
sense OF trimness which goes a long
way in making up for the loss Of the
corset. 1t also eliminates the need
OF brassiere. Cotton one piece suits
are worthless. Even though the wool
len suits cost three. times as much AZ
the cotton the comfort and service
they will give Justify the expenditure.
Bands worn around the waist for
the support of the stockings are al
most as uncomfortable as corsets and
are Of little use, because with the kick
ing OF the legs the stockings work
down and drag the bands with them
The stockings should be sewed by
hand to the one piece suit, taking care
that they will be Of the proper length
Sewing precludes all possibility Of ar
ugly gap between stocking and tights
stocking Is certain to work dowr
little while swimming, and to lesser
this trouble and also to make thu

Trcolette and wool velours have
been well combined in a mouse gray
coat, very smart for travelling or

gray velours set in full around the
body and reaching to the hem Of the
skirt. A detachable scarf OF the
darker gray velours is wound around
the neck and left to hang over one
shoulder.
Fur scarfs and stoles are quite as
much in demand as ever they are in
midwinter. They have been much
needed through June's unusually cold
days and have not seemed so out Of
place as they ordinarily do at this
time Of the year. Kolinsky is as pop

hair tightly on top OF her head and

Care of the Hair.
II the hair can be dried in the sun

and be light and silky. Soap used on
hair filled with salt water often has
a tendency to make 1t sticky and dull
and lifeless in appearance.
| Salt water habitually left in the hair
| to dry will cause 1t to fall out, and
IL one dives or swlms much part of
the hair is bound to get wet. for the
water will creep in under the cap at
the back Of the head and at the
temples. A cap worn so tight as to
preclude the possibility Of water
creeping in Is likely to cause a head
ache. A fancy cap Is not only worth
less. considered from a unitarian
standpoint. but an annoyance, as Il
holds the water and the extra weight
of its bows and rosettes may also
bring on a headache.
The substitution Of the one piece
knit suit for the boomers or tights
and brassieres or whatever Other
undergarments a woman has been &C.
customed to wear in the water will
make for her comfort more than she

While the wearers were extremely

the chipmunks fate.
These coats are of blue gray green,

very long and loosely fitting. The
fur collars reached high above the
ears and folded over like the soft
collars men like for tennis and golf.
