FOR SUN-BATHERS.

Bashful sunTuithera Avjll welcome the latest invention: of a German scientist (says an English exchange). This man, Herr Skaupy 1 , claims to have invented a fabric tlihmigh which these timid worshippers of the sun may absorb the healthgiving ultra-violet rays of the sun and acquire a coat of tan without displaying their forms to the gaze of the multitude. Herr Skaupy would have this fabric * through which the ultra-violet rays are supposed to penetrate readily, cut into small rectangles, and pieced together with ordinary cloth material, to make jumpers and pyjamas. To ensure warmth in cold weather two of these suits could be worn without lessening the beneficial effect of the sunlight. In spite of their lack of resistance to the ultra-violet rays these suits would be absolutely non-transparent. Should this fabric prove the claims of its inventor it should be highly popular in Germany, as the sun cult has the country in its grip. This is demonstrated by the many special sun roofs along bathing beaebfs and the sun-baking areas on top of private houses in all the big cities. Bouquets of distinction for the bride and her maids, in exclusive colouring and style to suit frocks. Miss Murray, packets Is. each. All Stores -=-Advt.
