n This season, by all means learn to
u swim and have a valid excuse for
wearing one. SO many women are
swimmers nowadays that the girl who
merely loafs on the sands is rather
out-of-it and though she may make a
charming picture on the beach, she
misses u good deal Of the fun and Is
secretly ptied by the athletic girls
and young men who bid her a merry
goodbye and vanish toward the de-
lights of the float" far out in deep
water.
You can learn 10 swim. Anybody

snce of character. Swimming is en-
tirely a matter of persistence. Not
of courage. for very timid people have
learned. And no special "knack" is
required. 1t is simply matter of
dogged, grim persistence. Don't give
up because of laziness or fear of the
water. The fear can be overcome
you will forget it when you can keep
afioat and are not worried about
where the bottom is or whether you
can put your feet down. But don't
attempt to learn in the surf. or where
the water is over your head. Do your
practicing in a pool where there is
gentle incline toward deep water. or
on a beach where you have to wade
out some distance to get "over-your-
head" Then practice always with

easy business of steering along

moment when the other member or

the mooring as your craft rushes down
upon it. You will learn to tie the boat
with that clever knot that holds fast

and you will know just when the
Yachting ensign at the stern must be
flung out in answer to the commo-
dore's flag at the club house. and when
it must be hauled in and the peaceful
riding light swung from the mast.
And you will need certain clothes
smart and good looking clothes yet
deal more rough and ready than Or
dinary summer togs that will be worn
around d hotel or fashionable country
club. DO not make the mistake OF
having too many clothes. The closet
and locker space on board forty-foot
power cruiser is extremely limited.
There is absolutely no room for
trunk, and anyway the dampness and
sea air would speedily ruin a hand
some wardrobe.
One smart going-ashore outfit you
must have. This you will wear aboard
and then the presentable tailored suit,
silk petticoat, and high-heeled walking
boots Will be carefully put away in a
tight locker and your boating clothes
will be donned. You should have one
warm skirt of wooden stuff. A pleated
skirt is best for some long strides have
to be taken, getting about a motor
cruiser in a hurry! This skirt should
be rather short too-midway between
knee and ankle will be good length.

except when you are anchored in some
sheltered harbor. The motorboat hat
must be of soft fabric so that 1t may
be dragged well down on the head. If
you prefer not to wear a hat, supply |
several broad ribbons to tie around the
head and hair when you are dashing
along against the breeze. The becom-
ing hair ribbons will be about all the
variety in color your boating costume
affords and you will learn to look upon

your hair ribbons as a man does on
his colorful neckties! Have half a
dozen of the MILDLY blouses and two or
three white duck or linen skirts beside
the pleated wool skirt; and this should
complete your boating wardrobe very
satisfactorily.
But remember you will not always
be on board. Every day, probably.
you will take shore trip, to do the
marketing or get the mail or to visit
friends, or play tennis at the yacht
club. In some yachting communities
women go ashore in the MILDLY and
short skirt worn on board their boats,
but usually one feels better to dress up
bit for the shore jaunt, especially If
the yacht-club where she lands is a
Fashionable one. So it Is well TO have
along extra sport skirts and blouses
and a dainty sweater for shore wear
and a special sport hat to match
These clothes should be strictly sport
clothes that will accord with the heel
less rubber-soled shoes the yachtswom-
an always wears; for high-heeled
pumps or boots may not be worn, get
ting in and out of yacht tenders and
dingheys-and one is always making
the trip to and fro in u small boat
of some kind. In every yachting COM
munity you see women in the CLUB
dressing room before Saturday night
dance, exchanging rubbersoled boat
ing shoes for the dancing slippers that
have been brought ashore in reticule.
The dainty dance frock, If kept aboard
the boat, may be packed in stout
cardboard box lined with oiled paper
Thus protected, even tulle will emerge
scatheless after a week of sea mists
and general dampness that has affect
ed everything else on board.

The white buttoned boot makes a very
trim foot and ankle and gives slight
touch of formality to plain tailored
summer costume. These pretty but
toned boots have been denied to FEM
ininity during war days but this year
they are back and one is glad to vel

because of the becomingness to instep

because low pumps demand handsome

will go underneath and come well up
over the knee. If she chooses TO stay
out of the water she will wear a dainty
morning sport costume-perhaps one

jersey with yarn embroidery on the

over neat white silk blouse.
