sports. NADIA has a stunning green
yellow fine checked imported

dips in points ever and anon. A
green straw hat, banded with pea
cock blue completes the picture.
Mrs. Michael NJ. van Beuren
picks navy blue. either in a polka

mont has three entirely eSferent
kinds of blues figuring a darker
blue silk in most modern mani
ner for one stunning dress she
has this summer.

for the Casino one day in beau
tifully effective frock OF off-white,
with lowered stripes In bright red
and green. with a touch of black.
A kerchief neck and a three-qu
tiers skirt yoke. the other quarter
being gathered godet. helped
give the frock distinction. Her
hat was a large leghorn, with red
and green grapes all around it for
banding.
