upward price tendency characterized
the opening Of today's stock market.

Wright. General Electric and Atchi-
son advanced a point or SO.
New buying power was attracted to
the market by the fact that stocks
had definitely broken out of the July
trading area on the upside. The re-
cent ease of call money in the face Of
heavy month-end settlements also had
a bullish effect on sentiment.
Buying orders were distributed

fective in the merchandising. air
plane, drug and public utility issues.
ELECTROMAGNETIC and Atlantic Re-
filming moved into new high ground.

BY JEAN PATOC For NEA Service,

Paris, March 23-Swimming suits and sun suits are assuming q more and more important part in q cour- turler's collections and just as much time and attention are devoted to their every detail as to those of a dress.
 It is useless perhaps 10 mention the fact that the we'll dressed wo- man would never dream of wearing a ready-to-wear suit. even for swim ming. contrary 10 the habit years ago when just anything would do the seaside.
 Beach Suits.
 In the first place, the fashion of taking prolonged sun baths on the beach has brought with it a great variety in what I might generally call beach suits. A very distinct line must be drawn between the swim ming suit proper and the suit which a woman dons for her daily sun bath.
 The first Is meant 10 come into contact with sweaters, whereas the other, used solely for decorative pur- poses, can be designed in way which will spell eccentricity for swimming suit. Furthermore, sun suit is always more striking in its effect, If only by reason Of the ma terials used

 Seal Of Elegance. A harmonious ensemble is what I always aim at in these as well as in all my other creations, as 1t is only true seal Of elegance Thus,
 the sandals which accompany a sun suit must necessarily be in satin the exact shade Of the dominating color of the suit and they should be
 edged or bound in the lightest Of
 the color scheme. The coilfure has to follow the same principle and should harmonize with both the col
