| faIlS. May 1o-AA OAC-pIcCc
bathing suit in all wool is here.
But though one piece it is not snug
/ ly fitted to the figure. Many gath
ers give it plenty of fullness from
the slightly v neck to the knicker
hem at the knee Round the waist
| of a peacock blue bathing suit of
this type was a huge rubber bath
! ing sash in roman stripes with
/ fringed end Another kind of suit
! has a bright overdress of crepe
above black Knockers. The over
dress is jade trimmed with black
and like all bathing costumes this
season it is sleeveless.
Paris, May 20.-Slanting hens
have taken the place of irregular
hens popular a short time since.
With decidedly longer skirts, the
hem starts low on one side and
hikes" upon the other, generally
on skirt which is draped and
gathered to knot on the side
where the hem is shortest. This
gives a gladstone glimpse Of the
sheer. light hosiery affected by
french women cst present.
ihaps the hosiery is the reason for
the slanting hem, since with the
return of long skirts it looked for
a while as though the pretty new
stockings would be quite eclipsed.
New York, May 20.-Coat and
cape wraps are being shown with
soft collars that fit high to the
back of the neck. Occasionally the
collars are finely worked with
white soutache. Some times the
collars are of georgette in a shade
to match the lining of the wrap.
Thus a tobacco brown wrap lined
with olive green has an olive green
georgette collar. 1t is possible also
to have a gown matching the wrap
and repeating in stripe or in
folds of georgette the color of the
collar and lining.
Lakewood. May 20.-Browns and
gold were remarkably well matched
in a chic afternoon gown worn at
a tea. Dull gold metal sequins
were thickly scattered over a frock
of golden brown georgette. Each
sequin was perforated the design
being an old Grecian Scroll motif.
To carry out the classic suggestion,
the cape of brown georgette was
draped in folds reminiscent of
tahagra figure. TIE hat was golden
brown taffeta with clusters of
brown, yellow, and geranium flow
ers.
Atlantic City, May 20.-Black
satin and white mohair were eff
fectiveIy combined in a costume
seen on the Board Walk. The white
mohair formed a tunic over the
black satin. There was also
draped black satin belt. The hat
with this costume was very large,
of black crepe marocain. 1t was
edged round the brim with the tin
lest of curIed white ostrich tips,
each held in place by a small white
mother of pearl brooch.
London, May 20.-One of the new
afternoon gowns seems to have
drawn it's inspiration from the four
poster bed period. 1t is nothing
more nor less than a straight tube
of silk hung with double pair of
valances. Fortunately the young
woman who wore this affair was
tall and slim and upon her it look
ed extremely chic The silken tube
of an underdress was dark blue. !
Suspended by circular ruffle from |
the neck was a cape-like short and |
gathered bit Of cretonne-like satin |
with the scrawly blue pattern on a |
cream ground that enlivened many |
a chintZ curtain in bygone days. J
Fastened only at the neck, this va
lance had a decidedly quaint APP
pearance. Two panels of the satin, !
gathered into f1aring ruffles at the !
waist, were held on the skirt, back |
and front, by narrow blue rib
bon.
New York, May 20.-Step-ins with /
camisole top are proving their pop
ularity these days. The favorite
materials seem to be crepe black |
satin in exquisite pastel tints and
satin striped radium silk. Irish
and f1let lace are lavishly used for
combined with satin
back ribbons in two delicate shades.
Wolfe undertakings for hot weather
wear grow even brighter.
