SOUTHAMPTON, L. I, July g.
Always a comfortable, casual, en-
tAyable resort, southampton has
added charm this summer in the
perfectly lovely clothes everybody
is wearing. Southampton just
never was so dressy as it is this
season!
For the favored all-white cos
tune, Mrs. William NJ. Duryes, the
former Marjorie Simonds. wore the
sweetest little handmade white
crepe while lunching with her hus-
hand and others on the attractive
Beach Club dining room that looks
out over the water.
Her costume was a 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 fin
ished in points.
New Beach Costume
Newer than pajamas for beach
wear at southampton is the wrap
around skirt and bolero jacket en-
semble that slips on over the bath
ing suit.
Mrs. Fenton Taylor, stepping out
bf the handsome pool at the club
slipped a white crash suit, heavily
embroidered in black wool, over her
black bathing suit.
After the morning dip is over,
If you aren't off for tennis, golf
or sailing. it's the thing to don
quite pretty toys for lunch, cards
or gossip.
Audrey Jacket looked lovely one
day in pale blue frock with rich
embroidery edging the circular cape
bertha. It had double ruffies outlin-
sng the low hip-line, and with it she
wore a halo hat of rough straw with
eone posies in front.
Picking Plainest Suits
Backless bathing suits are seen
Everywhere, but not the brassiere
and panties type you see on bathing
beauties and ads. 1t is amazing
how the best swimmers pick the
plainest suits for their active par
ticipation.
Mrs. Robert L. Stevens has a cute
white monogram on her black suit
and slips white terry cloth long
coat with standing collar on when
she energies dripping.
Many contemporaries lent their
presence to Mrs. Payne Whitney's
annual milk fund fair at Greentree,
at Manhasset. They might have
drawn straws to see who 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
most effective compromise in her
white frock with its cool navy blue
and white polka-dotted cowl neck
line 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. Bancroft, who spon-
spored red and white. Both used the
print only on the collar, the former
for a half-collar that tucked into a
yeverS of white, the latter for a
scarf that wove in and out around
q square neckline.
OF course, it always is the chill
dren you notice most at this annual
event of Mrs. Whitneys.
Nancy's Riot
Nothing could be cutter than little

white batiste frock tied on the
shoulders in bows and topped by a
brimmed hat of the batiSte, all
frilled around the edge.
Tailored in a masculine fashion
was the crisp white linen suit worn
by little Master Michael ForreStal,
guardian for time of the nice old
mule "Old Brick"
Mrs. Van Devanter Crisp's wee
daughter, Lucetta, almost carried
along by the huge balloon she held
Rloft, wore a white frock, with tiny
sleeves, round yoke and bands Of
two-inch lace insertions running
through the skirt.
Her bonnet was made to match,
with cute poke kind of trim.
They're Still Reducing
All the talk about curves coru-
Ing into fashion again doesn't
Eeem to give smart women much
respite from their sver-present
reducing.

Ioned, charming manner. To date
there seems to be no unanimity in
bicycle costume. with women wear

suits or whatever they choose.
