Jost at this time of the year, when so many of my readers are enjoying the pleasures Of the seaside, a few hints on sea bathing may prove interesting and useful. Sea bathing is an excellent tonic, but it is one that must be employed with discretion, and is not equally ad~ risable or advantageous for all people. There is nothing, however, so charm- ihg or so healthful ,as a “dip in the deep,” provided certain rules and re- strictions are adhered to. First of all, the, robust woman, who is blessed with stream lungs, vigorous digestion and good circulation, should always take a brisk turn or two on the beach before enteringfithe bathing machine. If 'the temperatfire of the water is be- tween sixty-eight and seventy degrees, fifteen or twenty minutes is long enough to stay in, and immediately after. coming out of the water the body Show}! be vigorously rubbed with a rough towel for several minutes, till a healthy, warm glow is felt. . Many women do not like to wet their hair, but in order that sea bathing should be beneficial the head must be dipped under water the first thing, otherwise headaches mayfollow. ail-Delicate women should take sea baths very cautiously, and never with- out the sanction of a medical adviser. They should not remain longer than ten minutes in the water, and even .mt is too long a time for some. Swim ifiylomcan, but if you can’t, move about in the water vigorously—not violently, as many people do. Never take a bath 0.1 a full meal, or an empty stomach. Early morning baths are only good to reduce fiesh. If 39m breakfasted between 8 and 9‘ ofclock, you can take your dip to the ' greatest advantlge about 11, say, two hours after eating. You should cone out while feeling the delightful exhilaration which so often accompanies sea bathing. Those who remain in the water after that time has passed will probably feel ‘ languid and debilltited afterwards. By the way, too, it is well to bear in mind that, if after sea bathing, you feel tired,chilly, or exhausted, or if your head aches violently. these are sure signs that the prOCess is not good tor you. After bathing a biscuit or some other ELight food should be taken, and a. cup of milk. A good stimulant, after bath- ing, for those who do not take spiritu- ous stimulants, is a glass of hot milk, taken so hot that it must be sipped .330le. After sea bathing, the hair of chil- dren, and, indeed, that also of adults, Should be washed with clear water, and dried thoroughly with towels. The sea salt has an unpleasant effect upon the'hair, making it sticky and coarse, and in many cases causing it to become dry and lifeless looking. When this is the case, a very little vaseline rubbed gently into the scalp at night will get. it softnnd into good condition again. Dark blue is the best color for a bath- Eng suit, and the best material is bril- Fiantine. The bodice and knickers Should be made in one, and the short Skirt or tunic should be buttoned on at the waistband. g gagléé ¢g§ua Feminine Chat. Have you seen the latest masculine ring? ,It is formed .of a linked chain with a single ,diamoud set in it. A man calls himself firm and his friends obstinate. When a woman really depends on a man she is all at sea when she dis- covers that her granite rock is made of “putty.” Many a-man who pleads the loss of a balance as an.excuse for staying in l l town late proves his statement correct when he falls up the steps as the clock strikes 2. - It does not seem quite credible, but 'it is‘true, that there can be so many cushions on a couch that it is positive- ly impossible to sit- Or lie on it with comfort. I We are so used to being entertained that we consider it a grievance when the shades are drawn long enough for the window dressers to have a chance to rearrange their wares. Judging by the length Of time Some young persons take in their good-byes - we come to the conclusion that they intend-to bid each other farewell for- ever. ' The latest application of the word clever is in the furniture line the clerk in the high art shop speaking Of a chair as “such a clever thing, don’t you know.” The up-to date'housewife doesn’t ask for the receipt of such and such de- lectable dish. She asks for its “meth- Od” of making. Did you ever enter into any new scheme that some one of your friends did not see and point out all its pos- sible disadvantages ‘? If a man only knew how much more he is appreciated when he treats a woman with serious respect than with frivolous friendliness he would always make his conduct fit in on the former lines. Many houses are delightfully com~ fortable and artistic with the excep- tion of the kitchen, which is a verito able prison or else a repository for all the inyalid furniture that wouldn’t be tolerated anywhere else. ‘ ‘Vv w —Evcrybody Talks of the Klondike. With the approach of Spring and. the Opening days of navigation and trans- portation in Alaska, the interest in the wonderful gold mines Of the Klondike is increasing. Those of our readers who contemplate the long _ journey, should put themselves into communica- tion promptly with The Joseph Ladue Gold Mining and Development Com- pany Of Yukon. This Company, which has been organized by some of the most prominent financiers of New York, runs its line of steamers to Dawson City via St. Michaels. It actually owns some. Of the most valuable placer .and quartz mines in the Klondike.
