LOOKING FORWARD

Once again we have passed
the invisible line which sep
arates year from year. Nineteen
nineteen with its hopes and
fears, its achievements and its
mistakes has faded into the ut
ter nothingness of the past.
Nor all our piety nor wit" will
serve to alter in the slightest
the record it has craven on the
schroll of time.
We can, however, carry for
ward the fight for human happi-
ness and human progress into
the newer year of 1920, avoiding
the mistakes and profting by
the experiences of the year now
gone, with fuller confidence in
the ultimate achievement of the
goal toward which we are striy-
ing.
Certainly judging by material
prosperity alone, in most Of the
world 1919 has been a year of
progress mo where more so than
in our own country, the Croesus
of the modern world. The scars
Of war everywhere, except in
those countries over whom the
menace Of the Red death looms
large, are surely being eradicat-

Smart
Bathing Suits
BY Rita Stuyvesant

THE warm days have brought
forth number of early
bathers, and it is splendid
opportunity to see some of the new
suits that promise to be so popular
during the coming months. One
piece, two-piece, full, scant. taffeta,
surf satin. wool embroidery in gag
colorings are all represented in the
assortment.
Practical, good-looking suits for
the athletic girl, pretty suits for
the betwixt and between maiden,
and wonderful costumes for the
girl who merely likes to bask in
the beach sun.
Wool jersey is creating some
smart suits these days, and charm
ing combinations are offered in
striped and plain effects. One
model selects black for it's upper
part. with deep border OF American
Beauty shade. There is "a girdle OF
black, a cap of the rose. and smart
hosiery and sandals of the black
complete the costume.
For the girl who breads sunburn
there is a practical suit cut from
black taffeta and trimmed in blue
satin. This SUIT shows high neck,
with straight band collar and long
sleeves. plainly cuffed. A. bit OF the
blue satin peeps out at the top and
sleeve ends and covers the buttons
that close the back. The skirt Is
attractive, too, with its panel down
the front and back and three ruf-
fes on the sides. In suit of this
kind one is smart and well protect
ed from the sun.
Another clever suit combines
long smock with scant bloomers.
The over smock is of soft black
satin. with stitching in yellow, and
boomers are step-in style, and at
the knees show pretty frills.
A plain suit OF surf satin wins
distinction through wool embroid

green. yellow, and orange worsted.
There is mass of the coloring at
the front. and conventional motives
around the hem.
Embroidery promises to play
prominent part in the decoration
this summer, and even the bathing
suits have taken quite fancy TO il
One suit chooses the medium OF
tiny fishes done in sea.green to OK
press It's personality, while another
boasts in water ducks and sprays
Of flowers.
Even the pond lilies are repre-
Isented, and. after one has finished
her suit, a good way to insure sue

heavy silk embroidery to its dark
surface.

Frederick A. Stokes Company
This attractive little volume by
a Washington girl is at once an ap-
probation and a tribute to the men
OF the A. f. +. 1t is tribute to
the qualities OF the men OF the
service, ordinary average American
toys, with faults as well as virtues.
II is also an appreciation for what
this "Y" worker gained from con-
tact with the boys "over ihcre.
written in a fine spirit of Ameri-
canism, with a plea to those boys
to play the game on this side as
fairly as they did on the other.

Here in America we are lighting
another war-a war against selfish
ness and intolerance and hatred. 1t
