Hints for Bathers.
Concentration is the secret of
success in swimming, just as in ther endeavours, says an expert on swimming.
"Swimming if one is to be
successful, demands the same attention that anything else does.” "Your strokes must be studied and your training must be regular, consistent. In diving you hare to think ahead what you are to do each instant; each moment of the dive must be plotted in advance."
The breast stroke is more difficul: and not as fast as the water crawl. I have added a little glide which helps me wonderfully. But still I wouldn't advise any one to begin by learn- ing the breast stroke. though it is.. a wonderful developer of the body. "The average beginner is afraid to get bis or her face wel, but the first thing to learn is that it doesn't hurt you a bit to get splashed." "If you just overcome that fear and get so you can oper your eyes under the water you have made a big step toward learning to swim."

Never sit in a wet bathing suit
unless the sun is warm enough to quickly dry you.
Never overwork. When you feel tired or puffed it is better
to rest.
Don't aim for three hours after eating. Dine after coming out of water and you'll have an excellent appetite.
It is always a mistake to bathe
when tot of tired.
Reat and get Ettle cool before

BATHING MODES.
Quite the nicest bathing dresses this season are made in the jamper style, with the knicker part separate and rirawn with an elastic at the waist. Jersey cloth is one of the best materials to choose. It is not teo flimsy, and it does not eling uncon fortably round one as does a thin silk. Some of the newest gowns of Jersey cloth are trimmed with foulard, and have the knickers of the foulard to match, but others are made all of the Jersey cloth. The sash is an important feature of the smart bathing gown of this season. It is seen in foulard, printed shantung, tafetas, flower- ed ribbon, satin, and soft patent leather.
One of the prettiest of smart bathing gowns seen was of sea- green jersey cloth, with orange and green leaves in cretonne cut out and appliqued on the front of the tunic and round the bem. The short sleeves and knickers were .. blanket stitched with orange silk. and the sash of black soft paten: leather was threaded through slits and finished with two big loops at the side..
Another jersey cloth suit that looked equally charming had the effect of the white jersey cloth tunic being worn over an under- dress and knickars of cherry and white spotted foulard, but in reality the small sleeves and side pieces were attached to the tunic. and the knickers were made separately. This dress also had sash, a fringed one of the spotted foulard.
