same plating is used for the bodice be-

banding toward the bust, and slanting
narrowly downward, giving a slender
tapering appearance to the waist.
Among beach costum the new
vivid green and rich Huguenot brown
shades share hOnors with the old stand

many styles in duck, Holland and the
fancy piques so popular this year, i'm

iceable summer materials and suitable
colors. Every sort Of coat and fancy
