NEW YORK. July 1.-Two distinct
types of sport apparel are being worn
with equal distinction at the summer
beach resorts this year. There is the
sport costume which consists of the
sdp-on sweater, with the white or
striped skirt and the somewhat newer
one-piece froclx, which achieves very
bright colors among which red, orange
and yellow are the most prevalent
The one-piece frocks are of the
slip-on type with a narrow string belt.
Usually they have colors and cuffs OF
white organdy although they may be
round in necaline and entireI ysleeve-
less with little capes thrown over the
shoulders. Crepe de chine makes
some of the most interesting OF these.
New Wrinl1led Materials
Quite the newest and most unusual
materials which have been shown in
some time are the blistered silks and
the heavily wrinkled materials. If the
predictions of Dame Fashion prove
true we will soon appear in gowns
that look as though they had under
gone a mustard plaster treatment.
They will be as wrinkled as the sun
dried ptune. At present the blistered
material is used mostly for the new
short coat effects which are becoming
so popular. AS summer advances, we
are growing weary Of the fFtnged
canes which have been so popular and
the chic little box coat of cloky or
hlistared silk offers a successful re-
lief.
Paris has been using the short coats
for some time and has achieved re-
markable results with them. Their
odd treatment of the collars and
sleeves brings a distinction which the
short coat has never had before
Sleeves may be large at the armpit
and end in cuffs that are like inverted
tunnels; they may be extremely wide
and gathered into narrow wrist bands
or made in full kimona style Collars
NAV circle the neck in loose folds or
be lust snug little collar bands.
Novelty strikes, embroidered clothes
and blistered silks all tend to make
these new jackets convincingly
smart.
Organdy Evening Gowns
Organdy has always had a place in
the heart of the American girl who Is
often at her best in this sheer, sum-
merry fabric. OF late years it has been
considered too fluffy for daytime wear
and has been crowded out by dark silk
gowns, which women prefer to wear in
spite of the heat. Now however. it is
offered as one of the latest materials
for the summer evening gown and one
is entirely surprised at what Is being
done with it in this line.
The organdy gown of today is not
ruf1ed. tucked or lace-trimmed- but IS
used with one color over another and
trimmed with self-toned flowers and
pecoting. Rose over lavender gives a
two-toned effect that is lovely. Yellow
over orange is also very attractive.
One Of the prettiest combinations Is
shown in a frock of pale green made
over a: foundation Of old blue. The
usage Of these two colors gives a
bronze effect. Twisted about the low
waist is a sash composed of folds Of
deep lavender, dark green and bronze
organizes.
These organdy gowns are at their
best when made simply with the snug
fitting bodice that is sleeveless and
with quite a full skirt which may be
peeoted IN scallops. The neck and
armholes finish in pecoting- Stock
ings should match the color Of the
underslip.
