ing suit Is long of sleeves and high of
neck. An amusing high necked suit
which makes Its first appearance this
year is one of black chiffon velvet. which
sheds the water like a seal and which
is not at all too clumsy to wear. For
those women who may like to swim long
distances and who may prefer the more
abbreviated suit. but desire protection
when they emerge on the beach, the
makers Of bathing costumes have de-
vised the yoked and high necked bathing
capes of rubberized silk.
Bathing caps also are now designed
to serve the skin as we'll as the hair.
IL suggests the mediaval wimple. and
the section that falls from the cap in
the back keeps ones entire neck in COM
parative shadow
This cap is fair to look upon, made,

ored wool in delicate tones. Above the
embroidered chin strap a fair face shines
out of it in very happy fashion.

the edge OF the ocean, for the prom

walks In country lanes, the parasol. en-

the beach parasols reach proportions
never seen before, stoutly handled to re-
sist rough winds and waves. And the
motor parasols-well. the motor sales
men will simply be kept busy supplying
motors to go with them. They are small,
essentially feminine affairs Of silk or
sturdier material. with the shade con-
structed on deeply curved lines, and the
handles are flexible and may be bent
this way and that as the sun or wind
veers.
Emcient Harem Wells.
In addition to the parasol one may
barricade oneself for the motor or a
stroll on the beach behind one of the
fragile but efficient chiffon harem wells.
These wells are made with a thin mesh
over the face and a deep border Of
chiffon that tempers the suns rays for
the good OF ones neck. Such wells are
becoming and effective in protecting the
skin. They may accompany either a
large or small hat and may be OBJ
tained In a number OF colors.
