Your Bathing Suit

JgATHING dresses receive such bad treatment from thoir owners that it is surprising they survive as long as they do. Hero are some things to remember if you really want to make your bathing costume last more than one season. When you have been sea-bathing rinse your bathing suit in fresh water .as soon after your bathe as you can. If you put it into one of tho wringers which some swimming baths have, be.careful not to let it get near the cogwheels at the side. If you aro squeezing it out by hand do not twist it. : • Nover be tempted to hang it .up on a nail inside your bathing hut. It is best to put in on a .line or a towel rack.- Hang it by the middle of the waist and leave it without pegs. People often peg up their bathing suits oh a line-by the shoulders. This pulls the-'. l shoulder straps and makes' the suit too decoHetee next, time it is put on. Needless to say, it is foolish to spread it out bn a jagged rock. Make quite sure the suit is thoroughly dry before you put it away. The yarn will soon perish if you put it way in a damp condition. Shake out, ail the sand,-because it. cuts tho yarn if it is left, behind. When you are teaching your little child to swim remember not to grasp him by the back of his bathing dress. Most, fond parents do this in-Iheir attempt to prevent him from swallowing too much water. Bathing suits are not things, to have dyed. l'lavo yolir costume fitted by an expert, and got if just a little tight tor you when it is litiff-..''
