Black-and-whte foulard appears on

the bathing suit or beach goHFn. Clothes
for the seashore whether for the actual
sea dip or for the mereSt daily sunhath on the
beach, are subjected to the most strenuous fad
ing process, and therefore demandEthe best in
fabric and in dye
While satin may not be the aspiration of
the ordinary bather she will be glad TO take
advantage of the wonderful blue French
model, with an eye to its reproduction in some
everyday material. The hat and stockings
match each other and are a deep shade of
royal blue, while lighter shade of rather dull
Japanese blue has been used for the garment
itself. Its skirt laps over on the right side,
where taSSeled girdlc is knotted round the
waist. An open sailor collar leaves space for
q tie with similar taSselS which are of blue
silk cord
The less elaborate gray satin model with
e tunic skirt is also the work of a French cos
tuner. Made on very simple and copyable
lines, the skirt is weighted at the side opening
by satin-covered ball buttons, which fasten
bodice and belt. The seamless sleeve of the
season is held by strap which reaches down
from the shaped piece round the ssemi-low
- neck A modification of this model in even
the simpler mohair will be found extremely
comfortable
A rich red silk braided with black and
white satin rattail shows the Russianinhuence
in the side fastening of bodice and circular
skirt. The model is intended for a stout
woman, and is made without pleat and with
out even tie to add to generous outline :
Merely hooked together at the point of the
collar the bodice is then carried to sthe side
and secured on the shoulder.
