Sensible Styles in Bathing Suits
By MARY MARSHALL.

is much more hygienic than that Of
men, and that the more up-to-date 1t
Is the more sensible 1t is. The fact
is that all clothes, to some extent,
keep out the most tonic of the suns
rays-and some clothes keep them
out entirely.
SO. instead of regarding the pres
ent-day beach costume as inane, in
sane and perhaps immoral, we must
regard it as appropriate, sane and
sensible. Only when the designers
try to put over high-necked. long
sleeved costumes should we really
feel annoyance. When we wear these
costumes we cheat ourselves of some
of the best the sun has to offer.
But there seems Ii tie disposition
to make bathing suits of this sort
Judging from those that have been
worn at fashionable Southern resorts
this Winter. the doc ors have nothing
to complain about. Almost always
arms are left entirely bare, and necks
as low as those on conventional
dinner gown are no longer looked
upon askance. Sometimes there are
cantilygathered little boomers, bur

quite short, ending a good many
inches above the knees.
Nan" plH ces stockings are still re-
Earded as essential. AT private or
less fire quen ed beaches stockings are
frecue0'l'- omitted and no one seems
10 be at all the worse for it. And
uet think how much more healthtul
such costumes must be. 1t NAV be
that in q few years the up o-date doc
tors will prevail over the o,d-time
moralists. and bare legs on beaches
will be the rule rather than the ex-
ception.

Washable Wall Paper.

Why shouldn't wall paper be wash
able?
For some time now 81 washable
wall paper has been the popular choice
for the kitchen and bathroom. 1t
has been a little more expensive than
ungIazed paper That is, the first
cost has been trifle more, but the
cost of cleaning and general upkeep
has been so much less. and the lie
Of the paper SO much longer. that 1t
is by all odds the least expensive wall
covering for these rooms, which pre-
sumably get the hardest usage Of any
in the house.
Still. when you think Of il. there is
plenty Of reason for having washable
paper in other rooms of the house.
The nursery. for instance, or the room
in which the children play most, Is
bound to show IA multitude of finger
marks, and either be unsightly all
the while or furnish IL half-time Job
for the person who is responsible Tor
keeping the house presentable.
The small breakfast room is another
place extremely likely to show soiled
places on the walls, especially since
we always want such d light, cheer
full paper in that room. And yet a
light colored, figured paper is the
very type which seems best adapted
for the washable finish.
Then there is the corner Of the liv-
ing room where the family gathers
most in cold weather, and the wall on
both sides of the radio. places which
are constant problem in many
homes. Even in the rooms not so
regularly used, the busting and clean
ing of woodwork leaves occasional UNI
slightly marks on the walls and q
clea nable paper would be a big asset.

him. and she had laughed at the idea.
Jack was only poorly paid clerk
then. and she, RoSalind, had wanted a
husband With money. Now Jack had
money, and MISUNDERSTANDING. Of all
people in the world-was his wife.
Madeline would have pretty clothes, a
trip to Europe, and, more than that, a
man who loved her. Madeline, who
had been willing to wait for her happi-

everything.

CHAPTER XLVI.
More News,

After Rosalind'S fit of crying was
over she felt curiously lightened. She
no longer felt locked within herself
In some curious manner her giving
way to an emotion pent up in her for
so long had relieved her. She felt
more hopeful, more like the girl who
had not been afraid to face the whole
world to get what she wanted. 1t was
in this spirit that she went into the
living room to meet Jack.
He seemed older, and much nicer
than he had been. There was more
forcefulness about him, more self-as-
surance. If he had been more like
this in the old days, sRosalind felt that
she might have grown,to care for him.
He had improved in every way. 1t
was as if he had suddenly grown up.
In the old days his manner toward
Rose had been one of shy ardor. He
had been wont to sit and look at her
from across the room.
Like a sick calf" she had thought
when she was in one of her mercilesS
moods.
Tonight he did not sit and look at
uer. His manner toward her was
pleasantly friendly, and, strangely
enough, there was no embarrassment
IN it.
Just as though he didn't even re-

she was glad of his attitude. 1t put
her at her ease.

The scoffer is not always a bad

there are not many Of this type, al
