Originated Studied Casuans In Dress; Are Wraps Vivid, At Famed Riviera Resort


 back knitted sweater seems the al~ ternate choice.S The smartest shirts are yellow or green, very effective with grey and good with navy, and the sweaters are usually striped yellow and white, green and white, red, white and blue or ell
 shorts are favored by the slim and long-legged younger set. For the beach, Lily Damita wears an all-white shorts ensemble which she discards for white robe de plage complemented by q vividly- colored handkerchief or scarf. Mrs David Barron, who entertaing the prince quite extensively, fa- vors navy pajamas with striped blue-and- white backless sweater. Miss Beth Leary wears e Patou pajama ensemble, also navy and white, with very wide pa5ama trousers. Lady Furness also spends most of her time in pajamas, but hers eAre beautiful shade of red, with e matching red ribbon round her head. Few gingham shorts are seen, and the fancy pa5ama suit is definitely out.
 The all-brown or all-white bath- ing suit is the smartest, but it has to be hand-knitted and in Q heavy ribbed pattern. A few vivid blues, some very effective cedar greens and dark reds are to be seen, but | the brown and the white are ui1- doubtedly the most effective. All suits are cut to mold the figure and are very brief. Some women | affect the brassiere top attached | by 0 single button to the shorts. | Belts are seldom seen.
 At the Chantuco Golf club. hand-knit cotton or wool suits and dresses vie for favor with equally simpe sports dresses of cotton crepe, sinelic and pique. The for mer are either white, muetard yell low, green, or pale blue, with orig inal belts and buttons in a dark shade of leather. The latter arc white or striped, with a few pastel colors, but the contrasting color note in the form of either belt or scarf Is de rigueur. Bright wool coats are thrown negligently over l the shoulders. Sports coats are all white flannel or wool fabric, belt ed or slightly flared, but very sim- ply cut.
 Evening dresses are colorful. Purple chiffon, petuna, tulie, crepes in brilliant greens and reds and even electric blue, with black and dul white, are some of the colors worn by the smartest wo- men. Browns and brown touches on 6 white gown are also seen, in- dicating that this will be one of the popular color combinations for the coming winter. Tulle. usually black but sometimes in brown. very much befrilled and ruffled, is Q favorite. Prints are almost never seen.
 At a recent opening night, Lady Furness wore an orchid chiffon eri- semble. Mrs David Barron was in black tulle and Princess Mdi- vani wore one of her Chanel trous- seau frocks in embroidered organ die. A black crepe gown with folds of white organdie outlining the square decollete in front, which extended in a waist-length point at the back and formed double cap sleeves, was worn by pretty blonde English society girl. Still another deb wore one of the new faille frocks in dark brown, with the equally new fiounced skirt. Sandals Worn by Day Evening wraps, when worn, are either diminutive vivid velvet boI. eros or else capes or boas in os. trich or coque feathers.
 Sandals in every conceivable ] pattern, in leather or linen, white or gaily colored, are worn all day. except of course for goifng, when all white antelope seems to be the latest thing. These are exchanged in the evening for more formal and intricate models usually in gold or silver-edged brocade or satin.
 Daytime hats are either of the hand-knitted madcap type or large, fioppy linen or straw shapes. The Basque beret Is still good, worn well over one eye in . peak. Restaurant hats are not seen be- cause nobody wears restaurant gowns.
 Hair is worn semi-long, off the ears. a clump of curls at the nepe of the neck, or else cut short and loosely waved. Younger girls fa- vor the ribbon tied round the head in e-in-Wonderland fashion.
