 $ Women have become accustomed to more startling color schemes in bathing costumes through the introduction of and
 craze for Batik effects for blouses and frocks And now, not only are striking color effects in evidence. but designs used on bathing costumes are as peculiar as | the markings of osme gay tropical bird. : Not only are the coiorings bizarre but the newest materials are out of the ordi. i nary. Velvet, vefveteen and duvetyne are | employed for osme of the more striking l 1920 bathing costumes, and satin and taf- | feta are utilized for the more conservative ] designs.
 i Some of the fanciful coicrings are ef l fective and in occasional instances charm 1 ing, especially among the higher priced l garments. For instance, one handsoni, costume of sea blue velvet decorated ii hand blocked designs in harmonious color 1 ings was noted recently, with long wraI and cap to match. Another was in purpi velvet with yellow trimmings; a third l equally charming, was of blue duvetyn 1 embroidered at the round neck and at th hem of the skirt with wool in red ant blue This bathing suit had no belt bsi was shirred on red and blue cords, whicl were fashioned on the sides in loops an, 1 long tassel-finished ends.

ed idol, Perun While Vladimir held po- litical sway at Kiev there came a lowly monk, Anthony, who tooE>up his abode in a cave. Other devout men followed his example. Archeologists sincs have recognized in these caves the homes of cave dwellers of the stone age.
 These holy hernnits walled up the ex- it's of their self-appointed cells and many never again came forth to daylight. They lasted and prayed, and ate the food placed in inches every second day. When the food was not removed their fellow monks knew the recluse to be dead. and walled in his home to be his tomb. It is the tonibs of these saintiy troglodytes that formed the major at- traction for the mighty human stream of pilgrims that flowed through Kiev until the war storm broke. One hermit monk. is said to have spent the last thirty years of his life with his body buried in earth up to his arm pits.
 ''The caves constitute but one feature of the famous monastery which, with its streets of churches. cells inns and schools, is a small city in itself. Among the mummies that formerly lay in open collins. enveloped in costly robes, was that of Nestor the Russian Herodotus whose chronicles are responsible for the tradition that kiev was founded by three brothers in the ninth century

Even Greece understands that it has tackled a big job in undertaking to po- lice Turkey for the allied nations. It has also taken big job on it's shoulders when it's army is sent against the na- tionalist forces of the Turks with the idea of suppressing the danger which Greek army is being employed not for the purpose of advancing the Greek cause but because it is. as might be said. right on the ground, ready for service at once and is willing to render the service desired
 The nnenacfng attitude of the forces of Mustapha Kenal and the threats which have been made as to what would he done and the demands for the turning over of Smyrna to the Tu---s required early action. Greece has already gone forward and by its initial move demon strated not only it's preparedness but it's suprenaey over the enemy when it cap tured s9ee Turks and took large amount of war booty.

So far aA sleeves of indoor frocks are concerned, you may do exactly as you like; they may be short medium length or quite long; and they may be tight or leg O mutton. T.lis is most con venient season; everything seems to be fashionable. On all sides we see the tunic girl and the pannier girl walking arm in arm, and tn esalne may be said of the girl wiht the bare arms and the one of the demure long sleeve.
 Chemise and tunic dresses are to continue; infact the autocrats of fash ion are in mood complaisant; the fully recognize the fact that times are lard and that we are obliged to make the best of things. And so we are happily given a good deal of license in sartorial matters and are to continue to enjoy l..
 Some of the new dance-tea frocks are delicious, and really most of them are formed on straight outlines, though a bunchy effect at the sides is introduced with the aid Of wide ribbons, arranged in loops and ends, or waterfalls of chif- fon and lace. No doubt about it, the tunic outline is still with US and it is l likely to remain. It is not the long plain tunic of yesterday, but it's more ornate sister who goes in for being fluffy 1 and who has a weakness for furbeloTs.

SEWING HINTS

When using pattern, always hold the extra goods between you and the scis- sors and you will not be so apt to slash in under the pattern
 Too tight tension on the machine when sewing silk will cause it to quicker. Regulate the tension according 70 the material to be sewn.
 When basting a hem or a tuck that requires constant measuring if you are using tape measure, stick a pin across the tape at the number desired and much time will be saved.
 A veil which has hole or two in 1t need not be thrown away. It may bt mended by drawing two strands of hair as near the shade of the veil as possible through the mash and pulling the veil to- geteher. The hair should be tied secure ly and clipped to the ends.

OUR POPULATION.

Results are not always in keeping with estimates and s,rch may be the case, one way or the other, in connection with the population of the United States, which, judging by the census figures for something over i4oo cities is estimated by the census bureau to be 105, ,0oe, ,00o. This is obtained by allowing for conti- mental United States the same percent age of increase which is shown by the cities whose rate of increase is already known.
 Ten years ago the population was found to be 92 900 900, gain of 1s,0eo,- o0o or better than 20 per cent during the ten year period. The idea of ex- pecting as great gain during the past ten years led to the belief that the coan. try would show a population in 1920 oi 1f0 900, 900 It will be some little time before it is definitely determined just what the actual population is, but based upon the rate of increase shown by the communities where the figures have beer revealed we are not as large by 5000. 900 people as we thought we were going to be. We have in fact not maintained the percentage of growth that we diG in the previous ten years.
 Conditions have however, been much different during the past ten years thar they were for the ten years previous. w have suffered a large loss through tho war. There have been many deaths iron the epidemic of influenza while there hal been tremendous drop in immigration It is because of this latter failing off due to the war, and to many leaving tht l country for Europe following the war that there has been smaller growtl 1 than was looked for It is probable tha the estimate as now made will comt close to the correct figures but it shoulc be remembered that there are thing tbout which we have reason to displa. more interest and concern than tn growth of Dopulati ti6h during a period 0 ten years. Census figures do not alway reflect our best growth.
