Castom makes from eleven to one tl

ity fair, with the naughtiness left
Not everybody bathes every day, and
the hundreds who are “aot going in t
day,” dressed in their gayest, walk op

are in, The good clothes on the beach
and the gayety in the water make a de
lightful combination.
In years past Cape May has, justly or
unjustly, borne the reputation of being
somewhat in advance of the age in the
matter of bathing saits for the Indies
A careful and conscientious inspection of
the shore shows that this year, at any
rate, there is no foundation for any such
charge against the modesty of the Cape
May ladies, perhaps becanse they are of
a style that needs no adventious seiting

of attire. A man looking for informa-

troduce himself as a meek and lowly
seeker after knowledge,
“Aro-that is, do they wear—I mean

Sparkling teeth illaminated the reply:
“Why, 1don’t know ; I think there have
been enough to go around so far,”
Des, ion-nerved, the man tried
again, “You didn’t understand ; I meant
to ask, that is, 1 wanted to know, you
know, if, | mean whether, that is, if it is
true, if the ladies’ skirts are shorter than

A little, neatlyslippered foot stole

THE RUBY AND THE DIAMOND.
It is perhaps not gonerally known
that a large ruby is of more value than
a large diamond. Mr. Streeter, who
wrote a book about jewels, states thal
“the ruby ranks for price and beauty,
above all other stones. When a perfect
raby of five carats is brought into the
market a sum will be offered for it
ten times the price given for a diamond
the weight of ten carats it is almost in.
valuable.” With respect to the romance
of precious stones, the author just
quoted tells a ourions story about sap-
phises. A native of India loaded 100
goats with these goms, a ied
