scarlet cap, cape and ruffled
suit?
The capes this year are color
full but sensible and lovely. Terry
cloth. a Turkish toweling material,
is a favorite. for II is inexpensive
and serves excellently the demands
put to a bathing cape.
Such capes of checked designs
with borders like the one pictured,
for a pleasing background for
black satin or velvet suit, espe-
cially an all.white cape, made gay
with stenoiled figures in black
around the hem. Wool Jersey in
bright colors Is another cape fab
ric. The most attractive ones have
a deep shoulder line to which the
cape is smartly pleated. revealing
gay stripes as the wind blows.
THE gay suits are at their best
when worn with black bathing
sandals and sheer black hose, but
the style of shoes is not limited
to severe black. 1t ranges from red.
blue, green and combinations of
those colors to white. And for the
one-piece, wool jersey suits are
matching socks that see no need
for shoes.
Beach accessories include oil.
cloth and rubberized satin pillows.
One model is made to be filled with
air and when Debated. fits into a
little, convenient-tocarry case. An
other Of oil-cloth is a bunny with
pink ears. The Brown Tea Pot on
Connecticut avenue shows such an
interesting and useful pillow. Para
soils also come under the head Of
accessories and their styles are
borrowed from Japan and from the
watering places Of Europe. Beach
parasols, large enough to sit unisr,
are found In gay striped canvas
materials or in a new rubberiSed
crepe with flowered designes. Para
soils to carry are usually Of Japa-
nese lacquered paper or lacque:ed
cretonnes.
THE mode in street and dress
shoes this summer runs to
variety. dominated by color
effects and Is influenced by
styles of other countries and Of
former days.
As in the picturesque days Of
other centuries, women are vain
about their feet. They do not
tolerate the golden lilies OF the
Chinese women or "the tiny feet
that peeped like mice beneath
her gown" in cavalier days. They
do favor. however, long narrow
lasts. especially for dress and
evening wear.
Crystal cloth slippers made with
full Louis heels lead in evening
wear popularity, closely followed
cloth and brocades OF the same.
The newest pumps show a grow.
ing Spanish influence. Red heels
and red rosettes are so sugges-
tive Of that country, that one
looks for flashing black eyes. a
mantilla and a lace fan. Slippers
also favor feather trimming with
brilliants as center ornaments.
Colonial days are echoed in
the increasing demand for Buckles
and large tongues. Very smart
are white Kid, full Louis heeled
pumps with large tongue and
bucklee in all white or in black.
Black patent leather, baby Louis
heels, wear the same style buckle
and tongue, and as these are
added to suit the wearer's die
tates, they may be as easily re-
moved.
Bronze Kid with exquisitely bead
cd buckied tongues are q tororun-
ner Of late summer and fall styles.
COLOR is the watchword OF the
day IN gowns and hats and its
briilianos is reflected In shoes. Ono
would not be much surprised to
SEQ the styles Of Venetian days re-
vivsd when ladies wore red satin
shoes with a sea-sreen gown or
peaeock-biue satin worked with
gold embroidery and jewels. Both
black and white slippers foe gum.
ner wear boast heals and leather
trimmings or red, bius, green or
