It ws only & few years ago thai women bathed In flannel or sewge ajvd de nounced the flrat mohair culta as revolu tionary, absurd, conducive to rheumatism and various aches and Ms. Then came the Introduction of the Bilk bathing suit and a howl of criticism want tip. Extravagant, unhealthful. rldlculoua! But the allk bathing costume baa arrived the abuse and la firmly established In femi nine favor. Thera Is no denying that It Is not so warm as flannel or serge, will not ward off chill so effectually, but on the other hand, it aheda ester much more readily than the woolen fabrics and la consequently less BATHING SUITS OF SILK AND heavy, more comfortable and, Incidentally, rv-re decent, because when wet It will not cling to every line of the figure so closely aa will wet. f'nnel. Moreover, one car obtain prettier color schemes In silk without going into the loud or spectacular. The black and white check waterproof taffetas make uncommonly pretty bathing suits, not only In the small checks of the shepherd's plaid variety, but In the larger block checks. Any bright .color may be used sparingly on the collar or !n the shield of such a suit to relieve the somber tone, but many women prefer to trim it merely with bands of plain black silk and buttons covered with black silk. , The black and white striped silks are also used by the designers this season, but on the whole they arc not so effective aa the chiiks. A cravat of the plain black Is u- '.ally Introduced when the black and white model is made with a color, but col. lam ate much less common on the bathing suit than th.y once were, square cut) round or V-!iaped necks bordered by flat bands having the preference. Where a low-cut neck Is unbecoming the wine woman has her bathing suit cut high ar d fin'shed with a soft turndown collar on a m dcra'.ely high band. This mint be loose i nough for comfort, but a little scarf can be k tint led under it and it will be found much more becoming to many a woman than the low-cut neck of any shape. It is difficult to find a suit of this sort rady n.ade and the average woman will buy and wear an unbecoming bathing suit aiher than bother with the making of one. 1 his fact explains, too. the shapeless. abominably fitting costumes worn by many women bathers. The bathing suit Intended for the sands rather l.mn the water is a time-honored joke and amiability for its purpose is un questionably the first requisite In a bathing costume, but at least it may be aa trim and What the Women Are Doing CratraUhls la Japaa'i Peeress College Al'ANts'li gencra'sl.lp If under going a teal in the actlvltUs of peace more trying than the campaign in Manchuria. The planning and execution of tit tles, wuh their noisy storms of Xe. it I I I I sl.oi and stieil, are a part of the solalcr" trad. But when the soldier Is plaOcd in command of a college of young women and assumes to order affahs on military lines It is easy to see he is looking for real trouble. A correspondent of the New Tork Evening Post, writing from Tokio, tells of the passive rebellion raging In the Tokio Gadshuin, the college for the daughters of Japanese nobles, to which General Noel was assigned as "general commanding." The first act of General Nogi was to Issue an order that no pupil should dress in any thing but the simplest cotton. The young peeresses found themselves obliged to lay a-5id the silks and crapes they bid always worn and appear like the working class. Next they were forbidden to urive to school; walking waa now to be the rule. Alas they were forbidden to exchange boms and greetings with male acquaint ances. General Nogi, if truly reported, gave way to petty t ranuiea such as deny ing students customary cakes and sweets, la many other ways matters were made unnecessarily disagreeable, but the stu dents are reported to have borne tbae iiu paU..c. There were, cf uuii, ciu meuts made and the young women found a sympathizer In Miss Shuuoda, the bead mistress, who bad been a teacher In the college for the last twenty years, and was greatly beloved. She dared to differ with the course of General Nogi and to say openly that it was not for a man to do cide. on the attire and social customs of young women cf the highest erUt.xiracy, and she did not think it seemly that they ml 0U14 dress like the common people. She r x strongly censured for this expression cf her feelings and removed from her posi tion in the college. ,Tbat they should lose this much-beloved teacher was more than cculd be borne. On the day of her fle jajture the students demanded special becoming as is consistent with such suita bility and there Is much in baring a suit carefully fitted, even tlf ugh H must be loose enough to allow perfect freedom of movement. A tight oorset or stiff oorset is an ab surdity for tha summer, but there are corded bathing girdlee which will keep a ult smooth around tha waist and over the Up curve without cramping tha body. Tha stockings should be snugly gartered, the belt neatly adjusted to cover tha onion of skirt and blouse If the two are not, aa la advisable, stitched together. A belt of color contrasting with tha suit material Is not as a reseraj thing desirable, for It enlarges tha appearance of the waist, which Is always large enough at best In a bathing suit. The princess models shown In the shops are impracticable save over a oorset ted figure, and the empire models which have been launched In this season of empire modes are as im practicable for the figure that will wear a scant empire aklrt well, without a cor set to fatten the abdomen and skirt united by a flatly stitched waistband make a neat and shapely bathing suit that will not sag or look untidy about the waist. When the waist and skirt are not in one the latter should be MOHAIR. firmly buttoned to the former beneath a belt. Some of the new empire models are attractive if not eminently practical, the model sketched here being an especi ally good one both In black silk and tn dark -blue. Plain blant taffeta is much used and twill surah, to which the manufacturers have devoted considerable attention this past year. Is an excellent bathing suit material. Satin too, la well liked for this purpose, and in the right qualities wears well, sheds the water and la slightly more becoming than the duller surfaced silks. There is an English liberty satin which baa a little wool In It and Is supposed to Stand water partloularly well. Plain colored silk is often trimmed with white checked silk In the sams color and white, and striped and dotted silks axe also used for trimming plain colors. The navy blue silk trimmed in blue and white checked silk. Illustrated among the sketches, la a good model of this type. Braiding is still used upon the modish bathing costume, but band trimming is preferred, and some smart effects are ob tained by hand embroidery In wash silks upon such bands. Anything of this kind, of course, makes careful washing and cleansing of the suit necessary and the ordinary woman will prefer something less chic and less troublesome. Mohair will wear better than sCk and In plain colors Is perhaps as desirable as the latter material more so In the opinion of many women. Experiments are made with browns, reds, grays, etc., but the dark blues and the blacks, lightened by whits or dotted bands are the most gen erally becoming and popular color schemes for the bathing suit that must give actual service. The long bathing clak which may be made a picturesque and becoming garment, is less used here than on European sands, but Is an excellent addition to the seashore girl's outfit. ceremony of farewell, which could not be denied. Over girls congregated to say goodbye and, contrary to all usage, they not only wept without restraint, but at last aloud, to the utter consternation of General Nogi. When at last Miss Bhimoda rose to say farewell again the entire as semblage gave way to tumultuous grief like children. General Nogi and the men with him could do nothing and at the time the story was told it was not known how the affair would end. It is a fact that a general consternation prevails. If the young women have the courage of their despair it is po.s ble they may carry the day and regain their former comparative liberty. Un Hasty tlease. Rev. Dr. Scudder of Jersey City is de livering a lecture in the eut on "How to Treat Tour Huaband." Some of the rules that he lays down for wives are Well worthy of consideration. They run as fol lows! No wife can be as free and frivolous as she was before her nuptial cays. Her sta tion demands a certain matronly dignity.

The occupations in which womn have longest been found are thot in which the renalty is least. Take, f r instance, the arts writing, raintlng end acting. Today th?re Is no social stigma attached to the woman who wrltea or the woman who paints, or. Indeed, to the woman who acta, nrov filed she is successful, says the June Appleton's. In these ocoui utlona she limits her chances of marriage in so far only aa her work shiils her off from social life. Society is. in the last analysis, a met.ng together of the sexes for tie purr-use of matrimony. Hence, the woman who is too buy ft-r o ciety reduces her chances if marr'.age. This la, however, offset in two ways. First, success tn an artistic calling is rom.nj more and mre to lie a social asset in stead of a stigmu.
