The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1919-06-03

They simply make folks rave.
She always looks a perfect dream,
When she goes out to battle.
But that'e because Maud never yet
Has let her costume chic get wet
She takes great care
That just her hair
Alone is in a wave.
NEW YORK, June EVEN a
Paul Swan or a Ted Shawn aren't
anything to be mad about in bath
ing suit, and yet the male sex taken
in toto and in surf attire seems to
just dote upon itself. Portly diplo-
mate love to be snapped up before
ard after taking a dip and elderly
heads of corporations in the groups
pictured on society sands for the
Sunday supplements.
With the having ladies its differ
ent matter. A woman doesn't have
to be an Anette Kellerman to look
well in a bathing suit, provided of
course she doesn't insist on wearing
an Annette Kellerman costume. If
the costume be pretty, it little mat
tiers if the maid be plain, if she has
wisely chosen one adapted to her fig
ure or her lack of it. That's the
whole secret in seashell. Egotistic
man, supremely confident of his own
natural charms, casts off his tailor
completely and be he perfect SO
or an imperfect 60, aged Il or 81,
he dons the self-same bathing model,
Whereas wise woman fastens her
faith as always to her dressmaker
and fastens her bathing suit with the
knowledge that she is charming
figure on the sands of these times.
To taffeta or jersey cling the
smartest mermaid this season, or
rather the taffeta and jersey clings
to them in the shape Of cunning lit
tie flounced and pulled and rufhed
little bathing suits, if they be taffe-
ia, and straight-hung one piece af-
fairs if they be of other stuff.
A stunning marine blue tatfeta
model whose abbreviated skirt is just
one scalloped ruffie after another,
each scalloped piped in vivid green,
has surplice waist, scalloped edge,
and just an outlining of the scallops
around the arm holes. A quaint taft
feta hat with broad scalloped brim,
green edged tops of the deep sea
picture.
Like hula hula maid, will be the
bather who affects the jersey suit
of Copenhagen blue, it's straight lines
bound by deep argane fringe around
the skirt, arm pits, and oval neck.
An amicable agreement between
the Chinese and japanese is evil
denced by the Chinese blue bathing
suit. cut after the long trousered
and hin length coated fashion of
Chinese girls usual apparel. A touch
of black and scarlet embroidery fin
ishes the sleeves, edges of the coat
and high close buttoned collar and
frogs of black and scarlet fasten the
coat. A dashing scarlet and Japa-
nese parasol and a perky little blue
and black cap splashed with scarlet
tassel completes the novelty in bath
ing attire.
As aways the black taffeta or
black and white costumes are dea(
favorites and this year they are
brought up to date with vivid touches
here and there of yarn embroidery
or fringe.
Large figured foulards in blue and
white, black or white or more hec-
tic colorings strike the newest notes
in the seasons bathing modes. In
deed they strike so loud note that
the deep sea fish will have to learn
to swim with their fins over their ears
The stunning cape mantles, to be
cast aside only at the waters edge,
are usually of one-toned material
whose surface is broken by appli-
qued or embroidered hieroglyphics
in the form of cryptic monograms
and always the Innings are most vivid
ly ornate. Fringe now spouts effec-
lively on some of the bathing man
