of their indifference to truth.
The woman who thinks she can
beat nature in planning her career

SOME DOS AND
DON'TS FOR THE
SUMMER LASSIE

The smartest 1913 bathing
suit is made of black and white,
and it follows the narrow lines of
the street dresses.
Here is one made with a XII
mona waist and elbow sleeves of
black charmeuse.
Charmeuse, by the way, is
splendid fabric for bathing suits,
as it does not cling to the figure
when wet, as does satin. The
white reveres and cording on this
suit are of white Turkish towel
ing. The cap worn is of white
polka dotted satin over the con-
ventional rubber cap. Be very
careful about the length of your
bathing suit this summer. 1t must
barely come to the knee and the
skirt must be draped little.
