Making Helps
Sand, Sea and Summer Sun
shine.
BY Wanda Barton

I'D TDING the sea on all sorts Of
IN queer animals Is quite the
newest and most exciting
Summer sport. The water near
shore Is dotted with camels. horses.
huge ducks. alliEators. seals and sea
lions The creatures are rubber. air
inflated. but quite startling in ap
pearance. and all are ieEless. Bath.
ing has an added appeal in such com.
partnership.
Fashion DEGREES the ensemble In
bathing toys as in all other sport
wear. Beach coats and capes have
pouch and under-arm shapes. are rub
Der lined. with cosmetic pockets. and
a glass. 70 a fresh complexion may
be added after each dip. A famous
marionette artist has designed the
silks and chintZes used for the coats
and ~parasols. and they are a study
In animal and %grotesque patterns.
The coats and capes are well sup
piled with pockets.
The decoNete bathing suits are
among the most popular. A wee
skirt falls owe the tight-fitting
trunks. and the back ia cut very
low. Then there are charming suits
OF Jersey cloth. wee with q
slip over top that mas a neck pointed
back and front and is sleeveless. Silk
and satin suits are In conservative
as well as gay colOrs. many trimmed
with white. All have the triangle
satin handkerchief to knot around
the neck.
The gay patterned silk and satin
suits are a marvel OF color combina-
ton. In models they are like the
plain ones. and some also have
matching trunks with a slip-over
chemisette that is loosely belted. The
one-piece suits are not seen on the
beach unless a coat or cape is worn
over them between dips.
Besides beach tents. firm chairs
with adjustable awnings over them,
there are comfortable oil cloth Gov.
cred cushions that are nice for those
who do not care TO sit In the sand.
Children's beach toys are more fas-
cinating thar ever this season. There
are gafly painted wooden wheelhar-
rows tina are quite large. They have
a sand screen that fastens on over
the wheel when wanted. a long-han-
died shovel and sand rake. and a
deep wooden pail TO match n bar
row.

thousands of motion picture fans,
Theodore Roberts, the grand old
man Of the films. believed that no
member of his own family held true
affection for him.
And to save his "blood relations
from embarrassment, - Roberts,
who died in Hollywood last week,
eliminated all save one from his

but because he suffered like me,

made nephew. Edward Roberts
Higgins, the sole beneficiary Of
the estate, the value of which is
established only in the words
more than 10000. -
The life tragedy Of the famous
actor WAS expressed best in two
paragraphs Of his strange will. They
read:
u remember neither affection
nor sympathy from any member Of
my family until such accomplish
mcnts had been achieved by ME that
objections became part of pride in

"Thc pride that kept me silent

silent even when in Il prison cell. >

In making the bcqucst, Roberts
said: "Only one member of my

know that have suffered like him

The document contained specific
instructions that he he buried be-
side his ''boloved wife, Florence

No mention was made of his first
wife, for whom he spent some time
in New York jail because he could
not meet alimony payments.
The nephew, Higgins, lives in
New York.
