SEASONS BATHING SUIT.
Buy Mohair or Light Weight Serge
and Make with Short Skirt and
Short or No Sleeves.

Bathing suits are growing TO be
quite important adjuncts 20 a summer
wardrobe. This year they're more in
teresting than ever coming in tailored
styles that are as well cut and shaped
as a SUIT
Mohair is the best material for all
around wear. and this year the new
mohairs win be used. with the odd diff
ferences of weave that resolve them
selves into shadow checks aud plaids
and stripes. They're twice as pretty
as the plain stuff. and make a much
more stunning suit There will be
more suits of mobair worn than of any
other material.

High and low neck styles are equal
~ good, but the favorite of all is a
style just little low---there's so much
more freedom OF movement II the neck
isn't confined in high collar. The
skirt should reach just to the bend of
the knee. And the sleeves should al
ways be either short or elbow length,
or. like the new swimming sleeve, 5dst
a row of straps.
A good bathing suit has the gored
skirt so popular this year. A little ex-
ira fullness is got into the skirt by a
box plat on each side of the front.

The belt and band around the bot
