If it amuses you to spend the time, paddling a canoe across the day, or lounging in the shade of a. matshed, then here is a costume just suitable.
The trousers are of butcher-blue linen, sad the top, you can kait for yourself in glossy silk or silko in three colours,-Blue, white, and lemon yellow
"If you are an expert swinner you will want to spend most of the time on the raft, and here are three, pretty swim-suita.

The first is a tailor made suit of vigella, with knickers of nut-brown and a buttercup-yellow top..
The second is the ordinary black woven ready-made suit, but is per haps best and most sensible of all for the keen swimmer. The third is likewise worsh but is not so severe since it has knickers of navy and a white top piped with cherry-red.
INSULTS
TO BRIDGE. PLAYERS
MR. CULBERTSON IS TOLD
--WHERE HE GETS OFF
The battle of contract bridge goes on with renewed vigour. Mr. A. E. Manning-Foster, president of the International Bridge, League and of the British. Bridge League has leaped to the criticism of Mr. Ely Culbertson's criticism in a letter to the Editor of the "Daily! Express"
Mr. Culbertson who with his wite; is here to play the first internation- al match for America against England, complained that the opposing team selected was not England. A cew team was selected. Mr. Culbertson approved. He thought last week's interra. timal play by England was "lousy."
This is what Mr. Manning. Foster thinks:-
I do not know whether "lousy" is a humorous term in the United States, although I am told it 18: used by some of our Bright Young Peaple. But to me it is offensive in the extreme.
To apply it, as Mr. Culbertson has done, to the play of the English feam in the recent international bridge team tournament is unpar donale, and it will be resented as much or more in the five other countries whose teams took part.
Mr. Culbertson is hot in a posi tion to criticise. During the week he was in theroom for a brief period on two occasions only," and on the second occasion 1 suggested he should not come again. It was impossible for him to know how the teams played, as there are yet no published records.
Whether the teams played wett or badly is not, however," "the point. Mr. Culbertson has been well treated in this country, and has taken a considerable amount of money from it.
But he has abused its sopitality.

In answer to a query about the duties of a best man. I give details from one who has been "best man" a number of times.
This is the sort of thing that has happened..
A young man was to be married in the north of England. He and bis best man travelled from London the night before the wedding. Bad- denly it was real sed that the bride- groom had not his banns certifi cate with him from his parish. He had to travel back to London to get it before the wedding could take place.
The best man was to blame. He should have seen that the "bride- groom had this most important do

WHAT THE CHILD OF TO- DAY LIKES TO READ
If you want to know what the child of to-day is really like, some hours of observation in & library for children will give you much enlightenment and some surprises.
Fiction is by no means the only thing, in demand History, biography, authentic sccounts of war and exploration, and tra "vels of every kind, rank high
among the favourites.
There is at present a passion for books about animals, and particu larly about horses, though these are read more keenly by the girla than by the boys.
