by no means be unadorned when
she steps into the water at Deau-

Another clever French inventor
has found a way, to make some
thing beautiful out Of those
troublesome shoulder straps that
are bound to show through a
gown of silk mousseline, georg-
cite, crepe, or chiffon, which is
so popular these days. Bands OF
flat beads, with patent arrange
ment for fastening them to slips
or camisoles, are being shown in
all the smart shops and can be
adjusted to the proper length for
the wearer. They come in all
shades and attractive color COM
binations that really make an
ornament for the gown when I'M

eyesore when they happen to slip
out into sight, as, unfortunately,
they very often do.
