~ ATHING suits will continue to
- hold popular interest for vaca-
tionists and stay-at-homes for
- long time to come. The surf
shops and beach accessory counters
are overf1owing with attractive dis
plays and people are pretty busy max
ing their selections. Some have their
vacations early and some very late,
and in Southern waters swimming is
good way into September, so altho We
have spoken of bathing suits before,
we do not hesitate to do so again,
for there is always something new
and different
For instance there is the two-piece
suit in the center of the sketch. 1t
is called a baby suit" because of the
construction of the trunks, which have
a deep belt that buttons in the back,
being adjustable to size. At the side
seams are attached long, wide sash
ends which are pulled tightly and
tied in the front. A very clever de-
vice. The separate bra is gathered
in at the front.

THERE are great many people who
like more of a covering than is
afforded by the maillot, or suit with
out skirt. They will appreciate the
dressmaker suit which has fairly full
skirt, as skirts go, and it is somewhat
longer than the knitted swim suits
irl, &c elxofnhoI nf these
in yellow and white acetate which
has an entire underportion of bra top
and shorts of the same material. A
most attractive one of these is pals
ley print on the French blue and rose
coloring, with v front and rounded
back to the waistline. They also come
in plaid gingham with jersey next the
skin.
Also for the person who likes to be
quite well covered on the beach are
the Tahitian pajamas and robes in
those bold flower designs of white on
blue, red or brown. The pajamas
have a lei effect produced by ruch-
ing of white seersucker with frayed
edges, that is quite becoming. This
costume calls for a large beach hat
of some sort, either straw or those of
acetate with half of the brim of
colored eyeshade texture.
Some new beach robes have just ar
rived in all white with a big button
and heavy cord belt of bright color.
These are just what you will want
for less than So,
A COMBINATION beach rug and
cape is a fine investment. This
is a huge, soft terry cloth affair Of
deep cream color, plaided in bright
colors to suit your taste. Brown and
orange is a good combination Of COL
ors, and so Is dubonnct red and bright
blue. The trick is this: There is q
cord run in along one OF the edges
and set back far enough so that when
you pull it up, presto, you have trans
formed your nice lounging mat into
a cape and you can dash up into
your cabana looking very smart in
deed. These are priced at under So.
You can get a good looking beach
bag for ST now that you would not
object to carrying with you even on a
city street, as they have plain lines
and are a combination of either dark
blue with white or brown with white,
and yet they are much more attractive
than the general utility bag that may
be found anywhere.
Yellow gabardine is very smart for
slacks, and with q yellow shirt in q
choice of materials, q yellow cap and
yellow beach bag you may be as ra-
diant as the sun itself. A group Of
all-yellow beach wear proved very eye
compelling, including bathing suits in
yellow fish net in plain and novelty
