women's faces lend a festive touch

as well as tall ones, big ones, fat

True, you'll meet some erring

water as a means of fixing up the
face she wears, but the most of them
are clever, and you'll very seldom ever
meet a group that's not as cute as

Ten railway crossings along the
present road will be eliminated, an
underground passage being proposed
for one Of the crossings which can
not be avoided. Mr.. Beckett said.
Seven people were killed at one
time at one Of the crossings.

NEW, YORK, Aug. 1.-Swimming
costumes reached the irrcducible mini
mum at Coney Island today. Ever
since the season opened at the Deau-
vile of America critical observers
have reported that bathing suits were
becoming sketchier and sketchier.
At first this was thought to be
the result Of the action of salt
water on worsted, since the shrink
age was simultaneous from the top
down and from the bottom up.
The threc-piece suit disappeared
and in its place the two-piecc suit
appeared on dowagers and damsels
Of uneven proportions and uncer-
tain age.
Then, in the natural course of
evolution, came the onc-piece suit,
which faded rapidly from a piece to
a bit, thence to fragment and

MAGISTRATE SHOCKED.

All this was observed by Magis-
Atrate James T.. O'Neill with aver
sion but restraint. The magistrate
wondered when the limit would be
reached and where, and resolved to
prepare for it.
He is concededly one of the most
broad-mindcd of jurists, a law-giver
of liberality, who believes ever in
letting the young folks have good
time. He looked on the bathcrs as
mere children of nature.
But yesterday the ultimate limit
was reached. Antonio Alvarez, OF
No. 81 Hicks street and Frank Val
les Of No. 81 Fulton street, dashed
gayly down the strand. casting con.
vention and clothing to the winds and
dived into the breakers. Emerging
instantly from the chill waves, they
returned to the beach.
NEW FASHIONABLE TAN.
Spectators glancing at them cas-
ually believed they were wearnine
suits of the fashionable nude color,
but closer investigation by inquisitive
policemen revealed that this was not
so.
Antonio wore a beaming Tuscan
smile and Frank wore a suit Of
,sunburn.
In their simple, trusting natures
they had come to take a bath and
they were bathing in the ocean as
they would battle in a tub.
But Magistrate O'Neill whose pa
thence had. like the swimming suit
issue, reached its limit, said, sternly
as the pair were arraigned-clothed-
in Coney Island court:
I'VE can get along perfectly well
in this city without September
