shorts. The most practical have
matching jackets reaching just to
the bottom of the suits as you see
pictured to the right in the group.
This model is of daisy-printed, de-
pendably washable silk crepe. The
shorts are pleated and the loose,
matching swagger jacket has a
youthful Peter Pan collar.
For the girl with a perfect figure
there are also the silk lastex suits
which fit the body like glove and
have touches of dressmaker detail
at the bosom. The newest trick is
to wear them with ones jewels.
There is such a variety in silk
bathing and beach suits this sum-
mer that you can have two or three
entirely different types in your out
ing wardrobe.
Pajamas are a Unjust have" for
a vacation outfit, whether they are
elaborate models that must stay on
the beach or in the cabana, or the
womanlike strictly tailored types
that can safely receive guests in
your own home or 60 out to call in
formally at an intimate friends.
They are made in tailored silk lin
ems, silk standings, novelty sports
silks, silk crepes.
Bathing suits with halter bodices
and wrap-around skirts made of
print silks in gay peasant design
are also very goodlooking, and add
infinitely to the picturesque beach
panorama.
The craze for prints increases
rather than languishes. It seems
to be prints for everything and in
stead of growing weary of them
there is that in them that intrigues
more and more as the season pro-
crosses. If the entire costume be
not of print then fashion offers a
compromise in the way of access
series of vivid silk print. Such ac-
cents as belt, triangle scarf and
bag of colorful silk print enliven
many costumes.

MIDSUMMER means sports,
AVA and this year sportswear in
the fashion picture means silks,
for every outdoor activity from
golf to swimming or just lazing
about.
The smart golfer, this season,
wears a simple shirtwaist frock of
washable end-to-end or striped silk
shifting or of classic silk crepe of
marvellous quality or some one or
other of the new linenlike silks, If
not silk shantung. These smart
and practical silk shirtmaker
dresses often have fly fronts,
tucked bosoms and pockets for
your golf tees as the model Gen.
tered in the picture displays. Blue
silk crepe fashions this stylish
and practical frock.
Very feminine and graceful for
tennis are short dresses of soft
silk weaves such as silk jacquards
or Chinese silk damasks which are
light, cool and comfortable. They

freshing contrast on the courts to
the shorts and Stacks that are so
commonly worn. New for the ten
mis- enthusiast is a white jacquard
silk crepe frock cut on princess
lines with a gored handling, the
jacquard patterning showing lively
little tennis-playing figures. See a
model of this description to the
left in the illustration. Note it has
a squared decolletage and wide
shoulder straps. Culottes are also
a practical choice for tennis
dresses.
For beach and bathing very
smart women are wearing silk.
The newest mode going is the little
dressmaker suits fashioned whim-
sically of plain or printed silk
crepes, silk standings and other
novelty silks. Kind to the figure
are they, being made in one piece

This clever dress features a
fattering yoke which dips to a
point in front and is equipped
with twin slashes a few inches be-
low the neckline to accommodate
a ribbon bow of any color you
wish to use. Most women like
several different ones to which
they match their accessories.
Radiating tucks at the yoke and
waist contribute a smooth fit and
fattering effect, while center
seams in front and back termi-
nate in two kick pleats for re-
served fullness where it will do
the most good. The pointed
pockets with shaped turned over
flaps are novel. You'll want to
make more than one dress, be-
cause the pattern is SO easy to
follow and the fabrics so numer-
Gus to choose from. How about
seersucker, novelty cotton, linen,
crash or silk.

BRAIDED ELASTIC
MAKES DANDY BELT

Golf is a game where enthusi-
asts are offered more accessories
a season than can be squeezed into
a dozen clubroom lockers. All are
intended to improve buffers
game, but most of them turn out
to be gadgets that fail their pur-
pose.
One really successful accessory,
however, that will be very much in
evidence on the golf course this
summer, is a belt made of braid
ed, silk-covered, elastic cord. The
belt looks like one of the corded
belts so popular this season for
sports wear. The rubber cord sup
plies the extra "give" that every
sportsman seeks, and makes for
maximum playing comfort.
The belts come in the lead
ing summer colors, including black
and white combination, polar bear,
marine blue and plain white.
