SUMMER BATHING SUITS ARE PATRIOTIC, NOT IMMODEST
WHEN THEIR CONSERVE MATERIAL

Far be it from any one to accuse
the summer bathing girl of being
either immodest or unpatriotic this
year. On the contrary bathing
frocks abide by the first principle of
war thrift-fabric conservation. And
the woolen suit is stepping back and
silk and satin ones will take its
place.
Conservation in ideas, however, is
not practiced. 1t is every summer
girls first privilege to express her
individuality and reveal her per-
sonality in her bathing suit. If one
fancies the styles of the Egyptians,
the Japanese, the chorus girls or a
classic nymph one may not dress ac-
cordingly on the street, but ones
bathing costume gives unlimited op-
portunity to go in for any such
effect.
A new creation for the girl bath
ers this summer is the Scotch lassie
bathing suit. The model on the right
is good example of this newest
suit. It has a waistcoat which is
buttoned down the front and a short
full gathered skirt. Light blue crepe
fashions the skirt and dark blue
satin the blouse. The beach cape is
dark blue satin lined with bright
plaid silk.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1918-07-18

This khaki kool suit is just the
thing which will please the woman
who is summering in the country or
at the seashore. She will find that
it is equal to any of the demands of
the day spent in town. Tan and
blue is the color scheme. The coat
and skirt are tan while the waist
coat, piping and wooden Beads on
the ends of the stole are blue. The
stole may be worn tied or loose.
The government is asking us tC
