New York. July 5.-The old pudding bag
bathing suit of faded blue flannel and
shrinking white braids is a rare sight
nowadays. The modern water nymph Is
almost as fine a bird in the sad sea waves
as she is on land, and it, perchance, some
of her loneliness is absorbed by the bill
lows. she makes I'D for it in the expanse
of white neck and arms her new toilette
de balm reveals.
The newest and most splendid of the
bathing frocks may be described as low
necked, and a tiny laced cape at the
shoulder is all that covers the arms.
Others let a round throat out in a little
square. and with short boleros some Of
the satin and taffeta suits display blouse
vests in a contrasting color. Trimmings
run to elegant silk braids, machine
stitching and strapped bands, a dotting
of tiny gilt, silver or bone buttons on
these often adding to their elaborateness.

The Fad of Combination.
One fad of the moment is to combine
some thin null with these silken charm

On dead black or pure white, put on in

the shaped sash, in the tucked yoke, and
perhaps in puffed undersleeves Some
