Cotton prints are prominent and
bathing suits in rubberized cretonne
are new offerings. The boomers are
of black satin, edged with narrow
frills of cretonne. Many of these
suits have capes to match.
Bathing capes have really become
necessity and are seen in rubberised
taffetas or mpires, gaily striped
linens. cretonnes and crepes. The
knitted wool or silk capes are also
prominent.
In the shops they say there are
many women who prefer the navy
and black bathing suits simply made
with gathers over the hips and
square neck The jersey suits are
also popular and those with the TERED
skirts and embroidered bodices are
pretty. while the bright ctlored
striped effects are much in evidence.
A new bathing turban is of the
gypsy type. 1t is a bright colored
bandanna with a Roman striped edge.
1t covers the head in turban effect
and ties at the side in a graceful
fringed knot. These caps are water
