els, but the number is limited, WINE
the sensational bahing suit has been
completely eliminated - thanks to
public opinion and local legislation.
Cream colored Jersey stitched with
striped salt water satin 70 empha-
size its original lines, is used for one
Of the real novelties in beach suits.
The model is generously trimmed
with buttons Of self-material, the belt
and collar being Of green satin.
Silk and satin play a large part in
the development Of bathing suits and
many Of the most attractive designs
are made in one piece. OF course
they are worn with boomers and
here, let it be added, one finds sever
al novelties in the methods Of finish
ing the boomers at the knees. Some
are gathered and tucked under,
Turkish trouser fashion, others are
finished with narrow frills, while still
others show cuffs from three to FIVE
inches wide, trimmed with buttons.
This season Is bathing suit may ex-
press itself in plain terms Of Jersey
or in eloquent plea for silks, but there
is always a postscript Of bold checks
OF daring plaids that makes every
bather kin and seashores a play Of
pattern.
For the woman who makes stern
business Of swimming there is cos
tune Of checked serge, consisting Of
bloomers Of boyish lines and blouse.
There is touch Of coquetry, not
withstanding, in the collar, belt and
cuff trimmings Of plain silk.
There are black satin suits Of re.
markable charm. Yielding to the
craze for combination with white
these suits are trimmed with silk
braid and buttons Of pearl or croch-
ct. Shocking appears to advantage
on beach costumes Of taffeta. What
thew lack in elaboration they supply
in the gay charm Of checkered collar
and sash, the bloomers corresponding
with these details.
Foulard in plain aud figured effects,
trimmed with bands Of plain taffeta
or satin, makes attractive suits for
the sands. Even should dearest
daughter fall for the temptations Of
the water, she has hope for her in.
