Women Demonstrate How to Be
In Style as Well as Com
Portable in Clothes

Southampton, Long Island. July ~.
Always q comfortable, casual, n
joyable resort, Southampton had
added charm this summer in the per-
fectly lovely clothes everybody Is
wearing. Southampton just never was
so dressy as 1t is this season!
For the favored all-white costume.
Mrs. William M. Duryea, the former
Marjorie Simonds, wore the sweetest
little handmade white crepe while
lunching with her husband and
others on the attractive Beach Club
dining room that looks out over the
water. Her. costume was q sleeveless
frock and long-sleeved jacket, with
self -tucks running diagonally for the
body of the frock, and the front, back
and cuffs Of the coat. The neck, cuffs
and skirt hem were finished in points.
New Beach Costume
Newer than pajamas for beach
wear at Southampton is the wrap
around skirt and bolero jacket n
semble that slips on over the bath
ing suit. Mrs. Fenton Taylor, step
ping out Of the handsome pool at the
club, slipped a white crash suit, seav-
lily embroidered In black wool, over
her black bathing suit.
After the morning dip Is over, II
you aren't off for tennis, golf or SAIL
ing, it's the thing to don quite pretty
toys for lunch, cards o. gossip. Au-
drey Jaeckel looked lovely one day In
a pale blue frock with rich embroi-
derry edging the circular cape bertha.
It had double ruffles outlining the
low hip-line, and with it she wore
a halo hat of rough straw with some
tposies in front.
Backless bathing suits are seen
everywhere, but not the brassiere and
ipantieS type you see on bathing beau
ties and ads. It Is amazing how the
best swimmers pick the plainest suits
for their active participation. Mrs.
Robert l.. Stevens has a cute white
monogram on her black suit and slips
a white terry cloth long coat with
standing collar or when she energies
dripping.
Many contemporaries lent their
presence to Mrs. Payne Whitney's an
nual milk fund fair at Greentree, at
Manhasset. They might have drawn
straws to see VINO would wear gay
printed frocks and who would stick to
all-white, so evenly were these two
styles divided.
Polka Dots Popular
Mrs. Dodge Sloan accomplished q
most effective compromise In her
white frock with its cool navy blue
and white polka dotted cowl neckline
and short-sleeved jacket. Others
!, who used touches of polka dots on
/ white costumes included Mrs. James
Russell Lowell. who chose brown and
white, and Mrs. Thomas M. Ban
croft who sponsored red and white.
> Both used the print only on the COL
; lar, the former for a half-collar that
, tucked into a revers Of white. the lat
ter for q scarf that wove IN n out
, around q square neckline.
, OF course 1t always Is the children
you notice most at this annual event
of Mrs. Whitney's. Nothing could be
cutter than little Nancy Whitney driv-
ing her goat cast, dressed In q beau-
tiful little white batiste frock tied on
the shoulders in bows and topped by
!. q brimmed hat Of the batiste all
frilled around the edge. Tailored In q
masculine fashion was the crisp
! white linen suit worn by little Master
!. Michael Forrestal, guardian o q
, time Of the nice old mule "Old Brick"
}. Mrs. Van Devanter Crtsp's wee
daughter, Lucetta, almost carried
/ along by the huge balloon she held
aloft, wore q white frock, with tiny
sleeves, round yoke and bands Of two
J inch lace insertions running through
the skirt. Her bonnet was made to
match, with q cute poke kind OF trim.
They're Still Reducing
All tho talk about curves coming
into fashion again doesn't seem to
give smart women much respite frona
! their ever.present reducing. Jams
