In Its favor I'm comparison with the
gold coiored and bright blue satins
covered with batik work of last year.
Petaled Skirt Appears on Beach.
We may have quite as much latitude
in the lines OF our bathing suits as in
those of our frocks. We still have the
straight chemise model, which Is al
ways good. New this year and fol-
lowing the low waistline dresses is the
bathing suit with long waist portion
and full skirt.
The petaled skirt, too, appears In
bathing dresses. More elaborate ones
show rows of scalloped ruffies from
the waistline to the hem of the skirt,
while those Of simpler construction
merely have the bottom Of the skirt
cut in petal form. The loop drapery
also has found its way into these
clothes. and, Of course, the sash is one
of the most prominent features.
Among the more elaborate suits not
intended for actual swimming-just
who wears them nobody seems to
know, but the fact remains that they
are to be found In the shops-are
Of taffeta having plated ruffles fin
ished at the edge with old-fashioned
plnking. Satin suits with long basques
attached to accordion plated skirts
belong to this type. A bfach costume

and satin.
There Is a bathing suit strongly re-
sembling dress brought out by Worth
earlier In the season. The similarity
lies In the skirt, which has panels
formed by loops Of wide ribbon. Black
taffeta is chosen for 1t. The under
dress consists Of Turkish boomers
attached to waist, while the skirt is
simply loop panels Of taffeta fastened
to a sash.
A bit of color is introduced by fac
ing the panels to depth Of about two
inches with bright green silk. 1t Is
q frivolous sort Of skirt. but has the
spice of novelty as well as being very
pretty. The little cap accompanying

silk together. There are tabs at either
side which tie In a bow on the top.
thus shaping the cap.
Turkish Trousers Much Exaggerated.
Boomers are receiving quite as
much of the designers attention this
year as the suits themselves. Varia-
lions of the Turkish trousers, much ex-
aggerated in many cases appear be-
meath short bathing dresses. Indica-
tons are that the skirt may be aban-
doned altogether. The suit described
is an instance Of the boomers being
allowed to show. The skirt is merely
series Of loose hanging loops Of silk.
In other suits the skirt consists only
OF back and front panel.
Towelings and rubberized ginghams
ere modest and suitable as well as
fashionable for trimmings. The I'M
ported Turkish toweling that looks like
colorings. The rubberized ginghams
are in small checks and palids. An in
teresting use of white toweling ap-
pears on a brown taffeta dress Of
chemise style. with kimono sleeves.
The toweling is folded In points to
form rows down the entire length Of
the suit, both back and front.
The woman who loves to swim just
for the pure JOY of exercise Will not
fail to include In her summer ward
robe one or two Of the one-piece Jersey
swimming suits. These have grown In
popularity each year. They have be- |
come almost standard fashion In |
bathing suits, so that there is little |
change In them except In the ways of |
combining colors. Contradictory to
the suits of silk and satin which, as
already noted, are In the darker shades
this year, are the jersey suits, which |
are rather vivid In color and deco
