One of the best swimming feats of the season Is refolded of a young woman wom-an named Miss Towers-Clark. She swam across the Solent from Yarmouth, Yar-mouth, and the lauding place was the mainland a little below Hurst Castle, making the distance two miles and (100 yards. Considering Hint the tide varies va-ries very much It was a remarkable performance for a woman, for she covered cov-ered the distance In one hour and seventeen sev-enteen minutes, but, of course, was helped here ami there by a slant In the current. She was accompanied all the way by her father In a rowboat. After Af-ter landing she took the oars from her father and rowed back to her home near Fort Victoria. Philadelphia Record. THEIR PROTESTATIONS. Thu whole body of Viennese milliners, millin-ers, as well as tho artificial flowers makers and Austrian feather manufacturers, manu-facturers, have called a monster meeting meet-ing to protest again the recent action of lenders of fashion In the country In banishing ornaments, especially birds, from their lints. The trade reprcsenta-'tlves reprcsenta-'tlves Insist that this wave of renunciation renuncia-tion Is not due to any humanitarian consideration, but It Is a mere freak of fashion, and really threatens the very existence of large numbers of skilled workers who are on the verge of loss of employment at the most critical time ot the year. The manufacturers hope by this agitation to reverse the decree of fashion nnd turn the tide lu the old channels ot ornamentation and display. IF YOU WOULD MANAGE HIM. When you marry him, love him.

With the coming of simple lines In gowns and wraps, and the passing of floppy effects, we may perhaps hope to be relieved of the exaggerated styles of hair dressing that hnve so long prevailed. pre-vailed. Immense puffs and bunches of hair hanging down over one eyebrow, great horns carried forward beyond the forehead, fore-head, altering the shape of tho head to grotesqueness, could never havo been thought beautiful. In fact, there Is something really vulgar vul-gar and low bred about many of the startling coiffures, and almost every one will rejoice to see them disappear. The lints of the season demand plenty plen-ty of soft llulltiicss In the manner of wearing the hair, but as all efforts are more or less trig and closely confined, so the season's lints call for less clabor-ate clabor-ate hair underneath them. THE NEW EARRING. The explanation for the new style In enrrlngs Is the change In the shoulder line. In place of tho Gibson square shoulder the smart thing this season Is tho droop of ItKlu.
