foveltyVthe Word for Swim Suits ivr\ By CHERIE NICHOLAS Sfcb' JUST what, do you suppose, "are the wild waves saying" In regard to the whimsical, colorful and sometimes amusing water sports fashions which are so merrily splashing, dashing, swimming, hathlng, (living and lloating and frollclng Jn ocean hlue, or lake or i ^V.Vrlver or new fangled swimming pool^ or wherever enthusiastic water fans H^'bappen to be? Well, one thing is certain, If they are saying anything, they are undouht ?v7v;;W#4|jr holding an exciting conversation to the trend Jo novelty which Is so standingly characteristic ' of the Nkt in swim and beach suits. This pectaliy true In regard to media materials, which are that novel tin], the theory that there is jfrew under the sun. i lace, for Instance, which as ? Innovation, so far aB bath ifti are concerned, has set the lion world abuzz this season. Dll usha, a youthful French designer of renofrn, conceived the Idea. The lnoe makers obligingly followed along with a fabric that could be used with as sured modesty and pleasing effect. Comfortable to swim In, attractive in appearance, lace threatens to be a Jeader In the race for be.ichwear pop ularity. In the picture, the suit to the left la fashioned of lace of firm ?dependable quality. ICven the bath ing clogs are of lace, closely woven and snug-fUtlng. Another sensation Is the debut of velvet as medium for the bathing suit. ?Of course the velvet has been processed to resist the ravages of water.

While there is nothing new in the Idea of the bathing suit which Is knitted yet there Is everything new In knitted effects as brought out this sea son. Their chief claim to novelty Is In the daring and bizarre colorings and patterned effects Instead of plain solid tones. The new print or Jac quard knits are so spectucular that they easily add as much color to the beach panorama as do the gaily striped parasols and deck chairs. The style tide In kuitted suits Is running strongly to the maillot, or sklrtless swim suit, because It per mits the greatest freedom of action and exposes a maximum of skin sur face to healthful sun rays. Maillots are also most nattering to fine figures, which Is another argument In their favor. A smart version of the mall lot, In a Jacquard knit with a deep U-hack, halter neck and the fitted uplift*' (Characteristic of the majority of 11)35 suits) Is shown to the right in the illustration. Huge bubble dots, alternating outline and solid, contribute splotches of striking color to its pat terning. Among the beguiling com binations are white dots on a skipper blue ground, sulphur yellow on brown, rouge on glory blue and white on tropic green. Many fashlonwlse water-fans will do their swimming and sunsoaklng in sklrtless or skirted, If you so prefer, one-piece suits which have backs formed by adjustable straps drawn together at the back In a ring or some other Ingenious and attractive device surrounding the waist as a self belt, carelessly lied at the front to give the smart and casual touch. ? Western Nfiwapaper Union. NEWEST STYLES IN OUTFITS FOR BEACH From tailored severity to lacy lazi ness, the newest beach clothes range, with In-between numbers of quaint pas toral quality and daring modern themes. There's a gny nineties air about a swim suit of polka-dotted red lastex woolen with white ruffles around the top and bottom, find forming the shoul der straps, which cross In the back. Then there is the English schoolboy outfit, so popular with beach lollers this season, which usually consists of tailor shorts and shirt of navy or polka dotted twill, a matching ascot and a tailored white pique or linen jacket. The Bavarian note Is with us, too, In pastoral beach frheks of flowered glazed chintz, with lace bodices and sometimes even milkmaid aprons. There Is the Tyrolean trend, In gay chintz shirts and skirt-length slacks, with suspenders and gay belts. You wear these with a plumed Alpine hat. Summer Prints Arc Using Flower* as Rig as Plates Prints splashed with the biggest fig ures Paris has ever used? flowers the size of a largo dinner plate ? are next on the summer style sceno. Mack or white crepes printed with huge plate-sized yellow and green sun flowers fashion slender gowns whose hemlines and trains sre encircled by diagonal flounces. Their fops are some times without shoulder straps, leaving shoulders and back bare, the decollete often rimmed by a big ruche of the flowers cut from the material and strung with loops of horsehair ribbon. More prints, this time patterned in saucer-sized tulips, fashion other gowns cut Along similar lines.

The people recognized her and perceived a marked change wrought In her. Ten years of such trials would make a noticeable change even outwardly, but the change was mainly inward. She asked that her name he changed to .Mara. IV. Naomi's Gracious and Tactful Behavior (Ituth 2. 3). 1. She remembered hei wealthy kinsman (ch. 2). In the case of a for feited possession. It was Incumbent upon the nearest kinsman to redeem It. Boaz was a kinsman. It was nec essary for both Naomi and Ituth to have food. Barley harvest afforded that opportunity. The divine provision was made for the poor when the har vest was gathered (Lev. u?? io 23:22; Dent. 21:11)). The matter was talked over between Naomi and Ituth and arrangement was made for Ituth to gloan In the Held of Boaz. 2. Naomi seeking rest for Ituth (ch 3). This rest was to be in the house of a husband. Other things being equal, such is the only real place of rest for a woman. Naomi Instructed Ituth as to her toilet preparations so as to be attractive and then also as to presenting her claim upon Boaz to perform the duty of a kinsman in re deeming the forfeited estate because of the sojourn In Moab. The redemp tion of the estate Involved not only the ability to pay the price of the for feited possession, but also the marry ing of the woman. V. Naomi's Reward (4:11-17). 1.

It meant the perpetuation of the line of kinship, and looked for ward to the true Redeemer, our Lord and Saviour, .Testis Christ. 2. She became the nurse for her grnntlson (v. 10). This not only pro vldfid her with a home and living, but with the opportunity of helping on the purpose of God In the coming ro demptlon. 3. The baby given a name (v. 17), "Obed" means "servant of God." Ruth thus became a link in the ancestral chain of our Kinsman and Redeemer Jesus Christ.

Okefiriokee Swamp Dkefinokee Swamp, Mystery Land of Georgia. Prepared by the National nomographic Society Washington, Ix C,? WNU Service. DOWN In J&ie southeastern cor ner of <?orgia lies the great Okeflnokee <wamp, a primeval wildernea* rich in treasure for the modern biologist. Mystery and en chantment live traits coffee-colored wa ters, its moss-hung cypresses and sun lit piney woods, 1 The Okefinok?0 owes a great meas ure of lts.urilqu'4 charm to Its "prai ries" ? wide, .unspoiled expanses filled In large part ivjjth a tropical abund ance of aquatic; plants and flanked with dense "bayif" of stately cypress. On these one maj^dellght his soul amid scenes of unearthly loveliness that have changed virtually not at all since the Seminole warriors poled their dug outs over them. ;"*The Okeflnokee prai ries are not land,;!but water 1 In these morasses are many areas of open water, varying from lakes a quarter of a mile In diameter to "alll gator holes" a rod In width. The snowy blossoms of- the white waterlily gladded many acres of the deeper water, and the golden, globular flowers of yeUow^polid-lllles. or "bon nets," glo>v In a^ttlng of huge green leaves. Ih the lihallowa ^yellow-eyed grass, Its talK Stems swaying, forms a sea of p^tsqrit^.lgjp. The small pltcherplant Is hardly true to Its name on the Okeflnokee prairies, for Its spotted greenish tubes reach a yard Into the air ? a height unheard of elsewhere; the parasol like flowers of greenish gold,' each on a separate scape, stand a little below the summit of the leaves. Another plant Is the maiden cane, which forms dense, yard-high beds. Among Its sheltering stems and leaves the least bittern, the swamp rice rut, and the Florida water rat build their nests. In late summer, as a boat pushes by a bed of maiden cane, a host of katydids will fly out and astound the newcomer by plunging Into the water and disappearing. These diving katydids belong to a peculiar species flrst described from the Okeflnokee. Resort of Hunters and Trappers. For generations swamp hunters have pushed over these prairie waters, standing up in their slight boats and bending rhythmically with graceful thrusts of their long poled. The skilled boatman la able to make better prog ress over the prairies than the bear he chases. Old hunters knew well how to drive a deer out of a prairie hea ? In the direction of a waiting com panion. In winter the trapper camps for weeks at a time In these heads, tending his line of traps and taking the pelts of raccoon, otter, wildcat and opossum. To pass from the sparkling sunshine of the prairies Into the gloom of th?? adjoining cypress buys is n striking experience. The huge trees, but tressed by "knees," stand In close ranks In rt foot or so of water. Their green crowns, 80 feet or more ove/ head, shut out all but n few stray beams of sunshine, causing even at midday a sort of twilight. Here and j there a winding channel or "run" per mits tlie hunter to piisb his tiny boat between the tree trunks; but iri the greater part of the cypress bays there Is tall, dense undergrowth- that makes even foot travel a slow and arduous undertaking. The bear, having the double advantage of bulky strength and a tough hide, la the only large ani mal that can readily and rapidly break through such n tangle. Good Fishing There. More than thirty species of fishes In habit the Okeflnokee. Persons who love simple pan-fishing, with an old faahloned reed pole, And hero their heart's content. At Suwannee lake this sort of angling surpasses that In al most any other part of the country. When one considers that the lake Is barely a quarter of a mile long, with an average width of perhaps 30 yards, a year's catch of more than 40, (KM) fish (recorded In 102T>) in astounding. Farther within the awnmp, /it Billys, Mines, and Buzzard Itoost lakes, or on the Big Water or the Suwannee canal, there is likewise rave fishing. The bulk of a day's catch' with hook and Hiie Is made up of mieh basses as the warmouth, the "stump-knocker," and the "fland-fllrter," with a goodly pro portion of mudfish and catfish. Those Who elect trolling are more apt to land Jnckflsh nnd large-mouthed bnss Die great state of Texas can boast of 30 species of frogs and toads; the Oke nokee region, with one-two-hnn \vm uron ,jf 'fexas. has 20. varied habitats to suit the re quirements of different specie; with unlimited breeding places in the cvpress ponds, cypress ba>,s, and prairies; with abundant rains in normal years, and u th ? warm and humid climate, the Okeflnokee is a veritable frog paradise.

Alligators and Birds. Men still living can speak of the times when it appeared as If feller could walk across Billys lake on 'gator backs. To this day the Okeflnokee remains perhaps the best stronghold or our famous corrugated saurian Suwannee lake in particular, where he alligators are protected, provides unequaled opportunities for making "timate studies of the habits of wild individuals. Of the approximately 180 species of recorded in the Okeflnokee re gion, scarcely one-half remain durln he summer and breed. While some of these summer residents move south ward with the approach of cool weather In the autumn, their places nre more than lilled by hardier species coming from the northern states and ' 000 da to find a congeulal winter home in the swhmp. Ky far the largest mammal of the swamp, and perhaps the most inter esting, is the Florida bear. From early times It bos attracted the swamp hunters? not so much because of anv particular value of Its hide and flesh as by reason of the thrill that comes from matching wits and strength with so formidable an animal. An addl r?a90n for the pursuit of the bear Is Its numerous depredations on the hogs that range through the p|?ev woods and the swamp borders. At a hog's prolonged .squealing the residents become instantly alert, for It generally means that a hear has seized the ani mal and is making off with it toward the depths of the swamp. ?Guns are hurriedly lifted from pegs on the cabin walls, the dogs are called together with the hunting horn, nnd the chase is on. Primitive Life 0f the People. For generations the sturdy, self sumMenf.

They renre sent some of the purest Anglo-Saxon Mock left In our country, though a few of the families have n slight mixture of French Huguenot and even .Seminole Indian blood. In ancestry, speech, folksongs, nnd uenerai social ways there Is a marked nlty between the residents of the Okeflnokee and those of the Ap palachian mountains. in each ens,, there has been comparative Isolation' tending to preserve the cultural herit age from Britain of several centilrles n?o.
