AS we shall be spending one month
of the summer at a Maine coast re-
sort, / was obliged TO have new
bathing suit 1t is carrying Goals to
Newcastle to tell you that the one
piece fad in gowns is repeated in
bathing suits. This Is model be-
coming to a slender figure. giving a
1.-THE. mermaid effect, unusually at
tractive These suits, however, should
be developed I'm inconspicuous ma
terials and colors, although there is
no doubt that we shall see them in
startling effects on the beaches. for
there are certain types of women who
are not content unless they are the
center of attention. My suit is Of
navy blue tuscan silk, new variety
that sheds water splendidly, and the
only touch Of color on the suit q won
der whether white is a color IS the
Dutch collar of Irish crochet lace.
The effect of the white lace against
the neck IS very dainty and gives a
distinctly feminine touch to the pic
ture. The sash, which you will see in
the sketch / am sending you, is an
Dther note introduced this season and
Is draped loosely about the waist and
tied low at one side with short ends.
] have the pattern of this suit. if you
would like to have il, and | think the
Killed skirt with front panel and close
fitting bodice would be becoming TO
your figure.
Blue silk stockings and white can
vas shoes are to be worn with the
bathing suit, and | have not quite de-
cided what to wear on my head.
Perfectly sweet is the white swiss
negligee which we have just finished.
The swiss is fine and has small dot.
The negligee is made in two pieces,
put together ON one belt which is COW
cred by a broad sash of pale green
satin. The coolest thing you can i'm
agine, To be exact. the negligee is
high wasted at the back, and the sash
| finishes at the left of the back with a
large rosette and two long ends. The
neck is open in V shape, and about it
is a deep rufile of lace Valenciennes)
and bow Of satin at the back. The
! tight elbow sleeves have deep ruflles
of lace and bows of satin.
If you will listen q moment longer
to a recital of the smart pique ties
have been making l will let you off
from the dress subject. Pique four-in-
hands are very smart this summer,
and the fad is to wear them in violent
contrast TO the color of ones frock. |
cut the pattern of mine from tie Of
Dicks. The ends can be finished in
any shape, but l prefer the oval out
line edged with a tiny buttonhole seal
lop. i'm the center of which / put a
small dot done in satin stitch. An
oval medallion of dots / worked on
the inner part of the ends with a few
scattered dots above it reaching to the
half inch projection. These ties can
either be made double or turned back
in a narrow hem and stitched on the
machine in color to match the en-
broidery. With my gray linen morn
ing frock l am going to wear four
finland in bright green with dots
Of the gray cotton.
At Brighton Beach recently | came
across several women who were carry
ing something resembling riding
crop. Upon asking the reason why
was told that they were the latest
caper of fashion. SO if you happen
along the board walk while at some
seashore place this summer and no
tice some smartly gowned young wom-
en- twirling abbreviated canes that
look like riding whips don't be sur
prised and imagine they are going on
canter. They are not They are
simply demonstrating the fad of car
rying swish" sticks. Sometimes this
stick is gray, sometimes red or per
haps a walnuty brown. The top may
be of horn. silver, or perhaps it VIII
have q topaz, ruby or some gem sunk
in little silver cap just big enough
to sparkle and yet not be conspicuous
Mademoiselle it seems may find
plenty of uses for one Of these sticks
for she can use it as a riding crop oil
to keep her small pet in order When
she takes "doggie" for walk. II
will hold her hat in place on a windy
day, or she may simply carry 1t to af
ford employment for her little hands
but whatever particular use she has
for the stick, serious or otherwise, Il
she wants to be down to the minute
she'll have one. And so, 1 reckon viii
you, but not yours devotedly,
MABEL.
