Beach Capes Cover the Bathing Suit.
A modern luxury for the sea bather
is the beach cape of bright colored silk
or-like the pictured cape--of Terry
cloth or matelasse cotton. Such a
cape not only keeps off The chill of
keen breeze when ones bathing suit
is wet; but also keeps the hot sun
from fading the color of said bathing
suit, and from making tan and freckles
on arms and neck. The bathing cape
pictured is of pink Terry cloth, the
cap is Of pink taffeta to match--over
a rubber diving cap of regulation style
and the com animation of pink cape
and cap is certainly distractingly
pretty. Under the cape is a very
simple little suit Of blue mohair, trim
med with pipings of blue and white
striped taffeta. suit that in combina-
ton with the allurng pink cape and
cap. prove the wearer to be both an
accomplished swimmer who will not
be bothered with furbelows in the wa
ter. and also bit of a coquette who
pleases to make very fetching pic

OF dark blue taffeta, lined with
bright plaid taffeta. these capes are
particularly effective. One sees them
also of white corduroy with lining Of
white sateen and cord and tassel fast
ening.
Gray Bathing Suits This Year.
Though bright colors will be plenti-
full on the beaches, judging by the
array of smart bathing suits in the
| shop windows. some very exclusive
models are shown in gray tone. a
stone gray poplln suit, for example,
has a girdle and cap of violet rubber
and a corsage bouquet of tiny rubber
violets nestles against the front Of
the bodice. Another gray suit, of pale
tinted taffeta has deep Quaker collar
and cuffs of hemstitched white taffeta
and is accompanied by demure cap
Of gray rubber with n pleated frill
hanging down around the face and
a bunch of rubber violets for trim

gray mohair bathing dress which is
so graceful IT should be copied widely
though if one preferred. n gathered
skirt could he substituted for the full
knickers in the picture. Waist and
tunic are trimmed with bands of white
taffeta silk and the tunic has cir
cular cut which makes 1t set very
smoothly over the hips, AS pictured
here. waist and tunic are in one piece,
full boomers and underwaist in an
other piece. If there were full skirt,
besides the Knockers, the waist could
be alta ched to this skirt and the cir
cular tunic stitched on at the waist
line. Then Knockers and underwaist
could be attached to each other.
GAY Stockings and Filmy Collar.
Conservative in style, but evidently
for beach rather than pillows, is the
black satin suit made very dressy by
a collar and vest of ndie-and
one can imagine just how that or
candle will look after a single wetting,
But the effect on shore is certainly
smart and attractive at any rate and
perhaps this particular suit is the kind
that never gets wet above the arm
pits.
Green and white striped stockings
are very fetching with the black satin
suit, particularly as black satin RIB
hons, tied to the bathing slippers, are
The belt and cap of striped silk re-
peat the green and white note and this
is a decidedly pretty bathing cap, with
a narrow brim that turns up at the
back while the front shades the eyes.
The skirt has a deep tuck midway
of it's length. a favorite device Tor
breaking the straight line in bathing
skirts.
