Bathing Suit Care

Not much chance of furbishing up an out-of-shapo or faded swimming suit and cap with tho fresh little bows and belts that will brighten the shabbiest frock, remarks the "Daily Mail." So it is especially necessary to take great care of these items in the holiday wardrobe. • . . i •Probably you have got one of the fashionable woollen suits, beautifully shaped and closely fitting to the figure. It will take a lot to spoil its line; but, rather than take any risks, remember not to wring it out with your hands, Instead, wrap it in a towel, and twist gently until tho water is removed. This will put less strain on the fibres of the wool. ■ Of course, you will remember to rinse it in fresh water after coming out of the sea. Hang it up on a line to dry— in the wind if possible—and be sure that the trunks beneath the skirt get thoroughly dry too. Never put your swimming suit away while it is at all damp, even though it may.only be for two or three days. And when your holiday is over, -wash the suit in warm, soapy water, as you /would any woollen garment, and let it blow in the fresh air before packing it away until next summer. Your bathing helmet needs care, top. Dry it well, wiping it out inside or drying it-in a draught of air, and do not put it away with the two sides of tho cap touching. Put a little tissue paper inside, and you will not' run the risk of the rubber sticking. And in case- your helmet sliould got torn while you are away, take a little adhesive tape of the same colour so that you can. render invisible "first aid."
