In Her Bathing-Suit “Nothing in this world is prettier than a woman in a becoming bathing dress as she plunges in the surf, and perverted must be that man or woman who sees aught but beauty therein,” W. Bok in the May Ladies* Home Journal. “But with the bath over, the picture presented to of am entirely different character. Then fora woman t<>| parade herself OU the beach in her dripping-wet garment*, or to spend hours lying on the beach io unseemly attitudes, cer» tainly dees uot raise her in the esti mation of people, nor impress men that she is a woman meant to uplift mankind. A woman's bathing-dress was never intended to be used as .a lounging robe on a public beacb. It to a singular fact how needlessly wo men unsex themselves in these things. Then when men, in speech or action, show a familiarity with them they arc quick to resent it. But a woman should not forget that ■ man never offend* a woman who behave* herself a* a woman should. A woman who merit* respect never has to command it; nor does the necessity come to her to resent careless speech or action. Men know the women with whom they can be careless of speech ; they know, 100, the women with whom such freedom of speech to impossible. An insult to a woman is generally invited.” CASTORIA For Infants and Children Bate- Bev. Ed F.
