The Lehi sun. [volume] (Lehi, Utah) 1913-1949, 1922-08-24

| This season they so fearlessiy demon
strate what they are and their major
purposes In life that they become
more beautiful only because Of their
sincerity. The one-piece suits are Sc
lected unfaillngly by the glr.s who
wish TO swim and enjoy the surf. They
are suited to the purpose better than
any others and are especially charm
ing as adornments for the human form.
Besides these so-cailed utility suits,
there are to be seen upon the beaches
all sorts OF the fancier varieties.
There are lovely taffeta ones covered
with frills and rulings Of their own
material. And they do not stop at
the conventional and accepted black,
but dash about through all the range
Of colorings. A woman Is permitted
10 wenr any color that happens TO
please her fancy and suit her com
plexion.
Cretonne and wood-blocked linens
are seen among the newer bathing
frocks, and from the number Of them
being worn one must infer that they,
too are filling the bill with due accord.
They do a great deal toward enliven-
ing the beach scene, for they are pic
turesque In the extreme. And they
are becoming, too, ms the number OF
them will prove beyond the shadow OF
doubt. You will not find the American
woman OF today wearing anything
which is unbecomlng. That is her
first consideration, and when you see
as many of one sort Of dress as you
do OF the patterned linens and Gre
tonnes. then you know full well that
she has found something that adds to
her natural beauty.
At the seashore places there are
parasols made of mass OF silk petals.
There was one of white chiffon, EN-
broldered In punches of flowers done
in different bright colors Of WOOL
There was another In taffeta, with a
series OF little plated frllls covering
Its surface. Still another had a rim of
ragged ostrich flues about Its edge,
and another one had this same sort
OF edging done with ends OF narrow
ribbons In three pastel shades. There
was n black parasol with q white
shlrred chiffon lining. There was
white parasol made of thick taffetn,
and II had n RULED black chiffon lin
ing. The makers do all sorts Of things
with their parasols. and In every In
stance the sunshade Is a means OF car
rying out the design established by the
lines, the coloring and the general APP
pearnnce Of the dress. In many cases
you will find that the dress itself Is
plain and unadorned. but the parasol
attempts TO be, and succeeds In being,
q trimming for the whole costume.
The flowing. draped and graceful
dresses are the order OF the day at the
seaside resorts. The very newest of
them have skirts that are long, ex-
tremely circular In their cut, with
overskirts and drapings and uneven
hens galore. For many of these new
dresses chiffon and georgette crepe
have been used, so that with oil the
extra fullness with which they are
provided and with the ample lines and
drapings, they become most beautiful
TO look upon. One Of them was done
In white. II had the low waistllne
which has been so popularity accepted
and then II had an oversklrt that was
circular in Its cut though gathered
and made very full. This was full
and plain across the back and In the
front II opened over another layer OF
an underskirt. The dress was bound
with white chiffon and corded with
white and there was no trimming any
where about lt--Just full sleeves and
very full bodice. Worn with this
was black openwork hat, spreading
OF brim and picturesque OF shape. II
made the combination Of black and
white In the cleverest sort OF manner
and, as a costume. succeeded In being
about as charming as any created this
summer.
