PADS AND FASHIONS

The sleeves of nearly all of the bathing suits are made elbow length The striped straw which has been so popular has already lost it's charm. White buckskin pumps and slippers have crisp little bows of black satin In the evening and afternoon wraps | three-quarter sleeves are much in fa- vOr.
 Many afternoon frocks have their | bodices of contrasting material and color.
 Foulard is combined with serge for the 'trotteur" or convenient walking dress.
