THE Camera Man, armed with MS
i merciless instrument and his alert,
discriminating eyes, We have always
with us. And now the Moving Pic
ture Man is taking" unawares, every
thing within his reach. Both are as
insistent as the Jersey mosquito, and
many a wrathful victim considers him
self stung by all of them.
But the Camera Man and the Nov
lie Man are destined to do us much
good. We are about to see ourselves
as others see us-and when we least
expect 1t.
On the Board Walk (Which may
stand for any fashionable dress pa
rade) the Camera Man has chance
to make comparisons and to look for
standards by which to make compar-
isons. In the picture shown here
he has succeeded in catching the pho
tograph of two wonderfully well-clad
women whose charming costumes are
standards of excellence, that not many
others measure up to. They demon
strate that modes Of the season which
have been much criticized and are un.
satisfactory to the majority of the peo-
pie, may be developed attractively. and
more than attractively.
The costume at the left is Of plain
and figured taffeta. The skirt is Of the
plain fabric, bound with plain silk in
che color of the flower in the figured

tafYeta. 1t is a straight skirt wide
enough at the bottom to allow free
step. The shaped tunic is rounded at
the front. There is a girdle about
the small coat in the plain taffeta in
the colors used in the skirt and in the
binding
There is an underbodice OF the
sheerest materials, open at the throat
and finished with deep folds of white
chiffon. The skirted bodice, or coat,
whichever one considers it, is finished
with a turned-back collar patterned
after the Chinese model and opening
below the bust. The sleeves are wide
and full, with deep turned-back cuffs.
and are three-quarters length.
For summertime this dress embod-
les about all the good points that are
to be considered. First, 1t is good look
ing, smart in fabric and cut, cool and
delightfully."- refined In design.
The other dress has a plain skirt,
with some drapery arranged in the
seams. There is cloth coat finished
with a draped collar in Roman striped
| taffeta. The model follows the Russian
blouse inspiration, with skirt cut long
er at the right than at the left side.
This is a separate coat and practi
cal for other wear. The Roman stripe
decoration and the draped collar have
been especially we'll handled.

turban and toque shapes, which are
familiar in other kinds of millinery,

The long net veil is held corner
wise and pinned at one corner OF the
toque at the right side toward the
