a beach hat of the type illustrated on this page
today; this particular model is Of colored straw,
print. And then too. what more suitable place
than the beach for a pair Of wooden sandals
in yellow with black stripes Of patent leather
and appliques Of little red flowers in the same
leather; The other sandal depicted here Is Of
white linen with red leather straps. The striped
waistcoat Of green and yellow is the most strik-
ing part of a yellow pajama ensemble and is
very new. And then for good measure there
is the evening ensemble consisting Of a bag
made of two shades of rose satin ribbon in the
shape Of a rose and gloves of palest rose suede
with a darker rose bow at top.
