Garb to Be
Popular

NEW YORK, June 3.-You must
go down to the sea In chic this
year. or you might better stay home
and embroider.
You may wear quaint rufFled or
CANDY and be a demure, old-fash-
Toned girl when you go to dances.
But when you swim you just nat
urally shed all your Victorian inhi-
billions, as well as everything else
you can get along without, and
wear a suit that for minimum Of
material just never has been beaten.
The latest suits, suits that are be-
ing sold in quantities, but probably
will be worn mostly on private
beaches, have cute, tricky little
shorts and a brassiere. Nothing
else.
This One Is Practical
Next for newness comes the prac-
tical swimmers suit of ribbed jer-
sey with purled Wristbands like
fitted, separate hip Jokes and short
boomers, instead Of panties.
After these two innovations, the
bathing suits that will catch your
eye are the smart little dress
maker" type of fine wool suit, some
princess line, some almost like little
workout romper suits.
Plain colors are by far the more
popular. White suits are new this
summer, having been introduced at
Palm Beach, and are ravishing
topped with the gray printed linen
and gawdy cotton beach pajamaS
that make a fetish of French col
onial colors, tawny browns, rich reds,
greens, blues.
Yellow Ones Attractive
Yellow bathing suits seem to
promise sunny days at the ocean;
light blue ones emphasize the fem
mime aspect to slip on your jer-
sey, linen or clothes today, though
the suit itself may be rompish
tomboy cut.
There are many greens exploited
for bathing this summer, and there
will be some red and some black
suits which really give dash to any
scene.
For fancy dressmaker detail work,
this summers suits are far ahead
of last years. They are cut much
the same, though shorter and lower
in the neck, many of them back
less, but they GO in for eyelet en-
broidery, tucks, varied pleatings,
godets, striped sashes, apron ties,
bow trimmings, and few unusual
ideas carried out in appliqued form.
Yacht for Decoration
In this category comes cute
aquamarine blue suit, with yaSIt
in full sail on it's front for decora-
ton, the yacht appliqued on, the
sail flowing like regular jabot
across the front.
Square necked suits are new,
especially the caniSole top type.
New, too, are the suits that have
light colored yokes, with the dark
of the main portion of the suit cut
to simulate a very daring decolle-
tage.
White, flesh pink and soft yellow
are the favorite tones for these lit
tie foolers. From distance, you
seem to be wearing much less suit
than you actually have on.
Jackets to Match
Jackets form quite factor in
this summers suits. Many of them
take little boleros or cardiganS or
windbreaks of their own jersey or
silk or wool.
But before summer is much older,
it seems likely that the predominant
ing vogue will be cotton pajamas,
and top them with their own jacket,
rather than one that matches your
suit.
For all the fuss made by hand
work and fine scanning on the new
suits, they have a satisfying non
chalance to them.
They are the kind of practical
swimming suits that you can slip
into and then forget all about your
appearance and devote your ener-
gies to your strokes.
