twreoty-five years ago. and after all there

and various aches and Ms.
Then came the Introduction of the Bilk

But the allk bathing costume baa arrived

Thera Is no denying that It Is not so warm

the other hand, it

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.

suit than th.y once were, square cut) round
or V-!iaped necks bordered by flat bands

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.

women bathers.

campaign in Manchuria. The
planning and execution of tit

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.
