ABOUT this time of year email
boys of the rural districts begin
to pass the high sigh, behind
eogrraphies In school, about special
ind particular afternoon engagements
down at the "ole swlmmin' hole." And
pretty girls in town are haunting
the departments where fascinating
new bathing costumes are on view.
The lure of water is going to call In
& few weeks and nobody wants to be
without the proper wearables for the
fun once it has started.
Bathing suits for 1920 are notice
ably more pleasing than those of the
last two seasons noticeably, that is.
according to notions of good taste.
There are a few bizarre, not to say
preposterous ttylcs. but the majority
of the new swimming costumes have
a. daintiness, grace and modesty that
appeals to women who do not delight
In making spectacles: of themselves.
Since about 1900 bathing suits have
been growins steadily more audacious
and last summer the climax was
reached. Before 1900 the main idea
of a bathing suit was to conceal its
wearer absolutely from curious and
Impertinent scrutiny and truly It ac
complished Its nufdneps well. It was
a. terrible affair that bathing suit
of the late '80s and early '90s made
of stout, strong flannel that seemed
to weigh tons when w et. and trimmed
with correspondingly heavy braid. Its
sleeves came well over the elbow
and Its skirt well over the knees and
underneath were flannel bloomers
that were forever sagging down
.round the ankle. Also, the waist
band of the flannel suit sagzed dowrt
over the hips when the garment was
soaking wet and forlorn indeed was
the woman who emerged from the
sea. in those days. In 1900 skirts of
bathing suits began to get shorter
and satin and taffeta began to take
the place of the hitherto Inevitable
flannel. Jersey tights replaced bloom
erf; and sleeves were dispensed with.
All this was very sensible, but before
long women who loved to exploit their
charms on the beach began to crave
more conspicuous and revealing bath
ing costumes and steadily the bath
ing suit has been cut off, cut down,
fatten In and "otherwise altered to
meet popular demand.
.New Bathing Suit Modest.
Now, however, the reaction has
come and bathing suits seek to be
modest, demure and ultra genteel in
stead of loud and sensational. Per
haps in 20 years or so they may get
clear back to the long-skirted flan
nel moaeis. out this one doubts ex
ceedingly. In color, the new suits run
to all sorts of extremes .-it Is in style
only that they are more conventional.
There are emerald green, Chinese
blue and Mandarin yellow bathing
suits, and several models have been
noted In vivid cerise or floral red
"Very often these gay" colors are com
. bined with black satin and the ef
fect is rather delightful for beach
wear.
There seems to be no reason, except
a wish to avoid consplcuousness, why
woman should select black or dark
blue for a bathing suit. Bright colors
are charming against the brilliant
background of summer sea and sky
and really the gay costumes are
sensible In a way. It is much easier
to pick out a friend, or a daughter In
the water or on a crowded beach if
he wears a bathing suit of individual
character and color and no woman
who Is not an expert swimmer should
go into the water without a bright-
colored cap or head-kerchief. Friends
on shore can keep track of the bather
mudn better, and guard her safety if
nsr wtmmlng cap all that is visible
of her can be easily spied.
Ming Tot Salt Picturesque.
There Is a delightful little bathing
dress called the Ming Toy after the
little Chinese girl in a popular play
Of the winter. This bathing suit has
a straight, unfitted tunic of jade
colored satin over very full black

holes on the niouiaer, for a regula
tion slipover style" "unless made" of
knitted fabrio would be too decollete
for a bathing costume. The dresses
that have a skirt and waistband are
usually made with a panel front In
the bodice, the fastening coming down
one side and on the shoulder. A few
very smart little bathing costumes
button down the back; one model In
particular, of black taffeta with
scarlet buttons. No other touch of
red on the costume except In the cap,
which Is of red and black satin.
Of course most of the bathing cos
tumes have pockets. Women dote on
pockets nowadays and simply will not
get along without them. Sometimes
the bathing suit has a break pocket
for the handkerchief, and sometimes
pockets are placed In the skirt.
The conservative woman will fancy
this attractive bathing suit (744S),
which avoids sensationalism in line
and color. The waist, sash and skirt
are of blue fibre silk jersey and the
bloomers of self tone taffeta. It is
the fashion now to have bathing suit
bloomers of self-tone taffeta. It ia
come well below the short skirt and
very often they are fitted below the
knee, like these, with ribbons laced
through eyelets. All the edges of the
Jersey dress, including scallops at the
skirt edge, are piped with blue taf
feta. Last year some women wor these
smart bathing wraps (7441). This
year women will wear them. They are
eo practical and so pleasing that the
idea has caught on everywhere. It
is very comfortable to snuggle into a
warm bathing cape after one's dip
and the enveloping cape keeps one
from getting sunburned on the sand.
This cape is of blue wool Jersey with
facings of scarlet satin. The bathing
suit, partly revealed, combines a yel
low jersey tunic and pleated black
satin skirt, but the two garment are
attached so the suit is ail in one
piece.

suite of the season they are rather
the exception than the rule now,
though you will see them on certain
fashionable beaches. The little suit
pictured Is of pale gray wool Jersey,
embroidered on waist and knee

silk stockings are blue and the bath
ing shoes are gray wlthwhlte lac

is of yellow wool Jersey with white

kindly g-lve me a recipe for buttermilk
baffles. alo for buttermilk ice cream?
Thanking you in advance.
MRS. C. L. H.
HOPE the following will suit you:
Buttefmllk Waffles One and one-
quarter cups flour, half teaspooa
salt, teaspoon eoda, 1 cup thick
well-soured buttermilk, 2 eggs, 4
tablespoons melted, shortening. Sift
the dry ingredients. Add the egg
yolks well beaten with the buttermilk
to make a smooth batter. Beat in the
melted shortening and fold in the stiff
beaten egg whites. Bake in hot, well
greased waffle irons. Skill in baking
is essential. Uet a friend to show you
just how to use the iron if your
waffles are not crisp.
Buttermilk Ice Cream One quart
buttermilk, M cup sweet cream, 14
cups sugar, X tablespoon vanilla, or 3
tablespoons lemon Juice and V4 tea
spoon lemon essence. Dissolve the
sugar in the buttermilk. Add th
cream and lemon juice (If used) when
the first mixture is frozen to a mush,
then finish freezing. Buttermilk ice
creams, containing as they do very
little fat, are more cooling than rich
ice cream and are very inexpensive
One cup sweetened fruit pulp may be
added with the lemon juice if liked.
for a richer cream, mix 1 or 2 egg
yolks with the cream and add 1 stiff
beaten egg white when the mixture
is half frozen.
cektkalia, wash.. May 23. Can you
tell me if it Is possible to can fruits
without sugar 7 If o. send me the process..
If there arc some fruits which can or can
not be knt that way, let me Knor the
least amount of sugar needed. Also if
rhubarb can be canned withoout cooking
oy using cold boiled water. MFvS. U. H.
Practically all fruits may be canned
without sugar ana generally, when
sugar or heavy sugar-syrup has been
added after opening, they will be
found just as good as fruit canned in
the usual way in syrup, although some
of the red fruits do not show so good
a color in the jar. The process is Just
the same as for ordinary "cold pack"
with which you are probably familiar
except that either water or extracted
fruit juice is used to fill up the Jars
instead of syrup, and it is usually wise
to increase the usual time of steriliz
ing a little. A bulletin on cold pack
canning can be obtained from the de
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton. When the fruit is opened, it can be
sweetened to taste and thus the cost
of the sugar can be spread over many
months when there is always a hope
of better supplies and lower prices.
Be sure to wrap tbe jars in paper,
for storage, to exclude the light.
An economical plan as far as jars
are concerned is to use some of the
fruit to make juice to fill up the jars
Instead of water or syrup, extracting
it as for jelly. When the jars are
opened the Juice will be "extra rich,"
and part of it can be poured off and
made into Jelly in the usual way, if
desired, while the remainder may be
diluted (if desired) with sugar or
sugar-syrup for use as "sauce" or in
pie.
Fruit juice alone may be canned
without sugar, as recently described
in this column. I'ruit pulp, ready for
jam-making or for pie filling, may also
be canned without sugar. In this case
the fruit is boiled down somewhat be
fore being put into the Jars and is
then sterilized in a steem canner or
washboiler in the usual way. the ob
ject of this method being to save both
jars and sugar.
It is sometimes useful to remember
in using this canned fruit pulp, or any
very juicy fruit canned without sugar
in double crust pies, that these very
Juicy pies can often be mere satisfac
torily dealt with by the same method
that is used for lemon" pies on the
principle that It is better to have the
juice in the pie than on the bottom of
the oven. You bake a pie shell (on the

pie) and with it, on a baking sheet,
you bake a "lid" of suitable size, made
by using the top of the pie plate for
a pattern and cutting a little larger
to allow for shrinkage. You boil up
the fruit, meanwhile, with sugar to
taste and a little flour-thickening
if liked, and you add "the few drops
of lemon Juice," or the "few grains
of cinnamon and nutmeg." or the "bit
of butter" (according to the kind of
fruit used) that you would ordinarily
add to your pie filling. Then, when
tbe filling is cool and the pie crust is
cool, preferably just before serving.
you pour your very juicy filling into
the prepared pie shell, put on the
already baked lid and serve it with
out losing a drop of juice or having
any worry about whether the pie will
boil over.
In regard to the rhubarb, -while it
is true that fresh rhubarb, firm cran
berries and green gooseberries may
be canned by simply putting them
into sterilized Jars, filling to over
flowing with boiled and cooled water,
and sealing iignt without cooking,
it is always juat a little "chancy,
and fruit put up in this way require
very careful watching to detect the
first sign of spoiling. Fruit done up
in this way is treated like raw fruit
when opened: that is, it must be both
cooked and sweetened before coming
to table. Only the three things men
tioned above can be canned by this
method.
An emphatic warning against all
"canning powders" claiming to keep
fruit without cooking and without
sugar is especially necessary this year
when sugar ia so high. Practically all
"canning powder' are injurious. The
use of them is forbidden to commer
cial canners, and should be avoided
by home canners.

bols or proverbs the writer is not
versed in these oriental embroidery
motifs.
Tbe straight tunic to the hips Is
seen in many of the new bathing
dresses, and Indeed few bathing cos
tumes now emphasize the waistline.
If a cash Is worn it is likely to be
knotted low on the hips and if the
waist and skirt are Joined with a belt,
the belt is a very loose one that does
not pretend to fit the waistline. A
tunic bathing dress of twd-toned blue
satin in a checkered jacquard pat
tern has all edges piped with plain
blue satin, and the bloomers are of
plain satin, gathered into tight bands
of the jacquard satin just below the
knee. The tonic, which is cut kimono
style with very short sleeves slashed
and piped up the outer side, falls al
most to the hip and attached to Its
edge are four square tabs, piped all
around. These tabs form a sort of
akirt to the knee, over the bloomers.
Though wool jersey is well repre
sented in swimming costumes, there is
a preference for suits of satin or
taffeta silk this season. One suit has
a slipover jersey to tbe hip and a
skirt of pleated satin, the jersey but
toning down on the skirt. Several
models show fringe trimming which
must look rather like dank seaweed
when wet, though it is. graceful
enough on the suit as one glimpses
the model in a shop. The rubber
fringes on beach wraps seem more
suitable and some of these fringed
wraps are really very smart. A model
indeep blue rubberized silk is scal
loped at the edge, on the flowing
sleeve and cape collar, and from the
scallops drops thick, long fringe, made
of tiny strips of blue rubber.
Hardly a single bathing dress now
adays shows a front fastening. The
fastening is either on one shoulder,
or the garment slips over the head
without a fastening. Usually, how
ever, there are buttons and button-
