Mew Suntan Backs Merely Peek at Old Sol
Says
Mda0 17zaa0D
Linens Figure Prominently
in the Out : OF : Doors
Scheme this Summer.
Says

THE opening Of the sunny
season draws the suntan
back TO a close-at some
strategic point. For backs this
Summer are not as bold in their
manner of meeting Old Sol as
those of last season. Instead
they prefer to play peek-a-boo
in a slightly coquettish manner,
for on the latest frocks of this
type there is apt to be a bow
lowering on the edge of the
neckline. The bow serves to
draw the sides of the low-cut
back together in a demure atti-
tude expressive Of the current
fashion mood. There are various
means Of achieving the same in
teresting result. The material
being cut perhaps in three verti-
cal slashes across the back and
held together at the neckline by
a tailored band is one.
One advantage of the suntan frocks
this season is that they are more read
lily adaptable to the requisites of other
outdoor activities than the sandy
beach and the tennis court. Generally,
however, they are made to unite and
fall loosely apart, exposing the back
when one is in the mood and the
proper place.
One such frock is the red pin-dotted
handkerchief linen sketched at right.
Worn with q broad-brimmed red straw
hat of loose, light weave it would be
appropriately attractive for the links,
the beach, the tennis court or any
event welcomed by the sun.
That linen figures very prominently
in the beach costume group Is evinced
by the printed linen ensemble at left.
With a tailored jacket and pleated
wrap around skirt Of the green and
yellow jersey, one would scarcely guess
that a yellow jersey swimming suit was
hidden beneath. The top of the swim
ming suit appears only as a neatly tail
ored blouse until the coat and skirt are
removed.
The number of broad brimmed,
rough straw hats that are appearing
as component parts of the beach en-
sembles would seem to indicate that
fair ladies wish to retain the title this
Summer. However, who can foretell
the whimSies of the wind and weather?
