TT IS TO be regretted that the dress
ing of the sub-debutante and young
er girls in their teens is not so care
fully considered as it should be. There
is a charm that belongs to young girl
hood that has been lost sight of in
the last few seasons and ObScured by
allowing them TO be overdressed or
dressed beyond their years. Left IN
restrained, ii is natural, with their own
sense of fitness undeveloped, that they
should ape their elders, and the re-
suits are pathetic; they are neither
fish nor fowl; have neither the charms
of young girlhood nor those of young
WomanhOOd.
Much of the time of the young girl
is spent in clothes suited TO her sports
not distinctly sports clothes but stur-
dy things that are both pretty and
practical. Jersey cloth is an ideal fab
ric for her daily wear. with Bingham

for. Anyhow, 1 passed, and after that
he was rather decent. Took me into
a room and gave me drink, besides
asking me about affairs in Europe.
H, / didn't know only what I'd
seen in the papers-but / gave him an
earful, and on the strength OF his
name l cussed England for all l
was worth-which at that time was
about million bucks. Then / handed
over the letter of credit and he
damned it into his pocket like IL was
scrap of paper. 1 don't remember
that he even looked at it. After that
he was for getting rid of me, the soon
er the better. But / needed TO know
where Alva was. so I hung on, telling
the old guy l had a private message
that l had TO deliver personally
straight from them financiers in Lon
don. SO, after skirmishing while
he jotted down an address on a bit
of paper. and the next thing l knew
was out in the street, with that

THE maid so well equipped for
l. swimming that she may undertake
to battle with strenuous breakers or
indulge in water sports must be clothed
in some such fashion as that pictured
here. She must go down to the sea in
strong, elastic, knitted garments and
wear a tight cap of rubberized cloth.
All that she wears must be close-f1t-
ting and firmly adjusted or nothing
will stay adjusted. This is the prac-
teal sort of suit for swimming in quiet
waters also. A swimming outfit is
completed by q cape or coat of rub
berized silk or other materials.
The knitted swimming suits are
made usually in quiet colors, as dark
green, blue, brown or black, and are
banded with more vivid colors. Caps,
capes and coats are as gay and bright
as anyone can wish. They are pastime
garments and there is liking for
making them somewhat bizarre or even
amusing. especially for very young
people.
