"The don't go near the water"
kind Of bathing suit has passed out
Of fashion. The old-fashioned suit
with it's cumbersome boomers and
elaborate overdress that used up
yards and yards Of material and him
dered the poor girl who tried to-
learn to swim in it on the beach,
this monstrosity Of former years, has
disappeared almost entirely.
In its place has come the practical.
sensible and at the same time at
tractive one-piece suit of wool jer-
sey. The only difference in the va
rious suits being the combination Of
colors used. The designing for the
most part is very much the same.
Thinking that this bright blue
jersey suit not quite gay enough for
this little swimmer, the designer
added a dashing white sash with
tassled edges to make it. doubly
charming. Perhaps that was the
real reason for the sash, but 1t
looks more as If it would mark the
only difference between brothers
and sisters suit. Not matter what
the reason it is an attractive addi-
ton. The piping Of the low neck
and arm-holes is also white.
