BATHING CAPS

I'm the water one need not be a
fright if the summer models for
bathing caps be copied. They are
the pretty little boudoir types follow
ed in rubberized silk or satin, and
there is variety in the models that are
sold.
The round shape with a pleated
rune and a pert bow at one side is
very becoming. 1t can be of silk
made to be worn over rubber cap.
Then there is the Dutch cap, with
turned-back flaps and rosettes at each
side over the ears.
The full crown and the folded brim
that gives a fat effect around the
face are easily used for bathing caps.
